Windower 4 - Discussion and Support

[Arcon]

We will keep maintaining all plugins to the degree that they're in working shape. But we won't be adding anything new to them, unlike the addons. This is the policy for all plugins. If there are both an addon and a plugin version available, you should use the addon version, as the chances of it being fixed first and having more features is bigger.

However, like I said, we'll still keep the old plugins in working conditions and probably will until Windower 5.

The png file must go in Windower4\plugins\icons. The name of the icon file and the file name in autoexec must match.

Keep in mind that this is custom stuff. You have to put said Icon file there. It's not there automatically.

Do they go into one of the two folders inside that icon folder or just into icon folder. Cause I did try putting them just in folder and into abilities folder inside. Had names right in both autoexec and folders and still just kept putting a ? for icon.

[Martel]

just in the icons folder. If you wanted to use a icon in the abilities or spells folder, it'd be like, spells\00001.png

Post the AE code you're using, and the full file name of the icon(including the file extension.)

[Aramaic]

Cool. Thanks man got it working your awesome sauce.

Is there a addon/plugin that essentially does the same thing as OnEvent?

[Arcon]

No, and there won't be, because a blank addon is pretty much just a copy of OnEvent.

windower.register_event('incoming text', function(text) if text == 'Something' then windower.send_command('stun') end end)

[Haborym]

No, and there won't be, because a blank addon is pretty much just a copy of OnEvent.

windower.register_event('incoming text', function(text) if text == 'Something' then windower.send_command('stun') end end)

Is there a neat way I could build a number of these out, and call to load/unload them with a command?

[Byrthnoth]

Here is some code that I don't think is really worth releasing as an addon, but is a useful script:

res = require('resources')
slips = require('slips')


local item_registry = {}
local items = windower.ffxi.get_items()
for _,v in pairs({'inventory', 'safe', 'storage', 'locker', 'satchel', 'sack', 'case'}) do
    for n,m in pairs(items[v]) do
        item_registry[m.id] = v
    end
end

for i,v in ipairs(slips.storages) do
    for n,m in ipairs(slips.items[v]) do
        if item_registry[m] then
            windower.add_to_chat(8,item_registry[m]..': '..tostring(res.items[m].name)..' ('..tostring(res.items[v].name..')'))
        end
    end
end

This looks at your current inventory and tells you which pieces could be stored on slips. Copy the code into a new Notepad document. Save it as "All file types" name.lua in the windower/addons/name folder. Then type "//lua l name" in game.

probably need to update the slip thing in the libraries cause im pretty sure not everything is added to 11 and yesterday it still told me there was no slip for relics reforged

[Darkmagi]

That's pretty nifty, thanks.

[Kalmado]

I apologize if this isn't the right spot to ask, but would someone please PM me the .dll for recast and spellcast? I'm playing on a private server that only supports the older version of windower. Also, is there a plugin or way to force FFXI to raise FPS to 60 like with the ashita extension? Thank you in advance!

[Byrthnoth]

Ah, good point. I added everything to -dev but haven't pushed it live yet.

[Trumpy]

Byrthnoth, is there a way that they can fix the resources status file? I have mentioned it before, but for some reason someone changed "finishing move 1-5" to just "finishing move" for all 5. my Dnc xml relies on those numbers. I have no idea why this got changed but i always edit it then the next time someone updates resources it goes back the way it was.

[Byrthnoth]

Yeah, go make an issue on the ResourceExtractor issue tracker: https://github.com/Windower/ResourceExtractor/issues

We're currently re-working ResourceExtractor so it might not be pushed out immediately but will come out eventually.

Is there a neat way I could build a number of these out, and call to load/unload them with a command?

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. If you want to make it react to different things differently, I'd do it as follows:

require('sets')

stun_commands = S{
    'The Forest Hare readies Foot Kick',
    'The Carrion Worm readies Full-Force Blow',
    'The Forest Funguar readies Dark Spore',
}

reply_commands = S{
    '<Xxkloudseferotxx> Hey LS',
    '<Tennislav> What\'s up',
}

windower.register_event('incoming text', functions(text)
    if stun_commands:contains(text) then
        windower.send_command('stun')
    elseif reply_commands:contains(text) then
        windower.send_command('input /l Hey guy')
    end
end)

That's the entire code, you just put that in an addon called OnEvent.lua (in Windower/addons/OnEvent/) and load with //lua load onevent (//lua unload onevent to unload again). While it's loaded it will react to text as you specify the commands in there. I think it's pretty straightforward how to expand those commands by more things.

JaZero doesnt seem to be fixed yet, i keep forgettin to mention.

        windower.send_command('stun')

Does Scoreboard accurately parse rune damage to the right person?

In case it hasn't been said yet, there's a small issue with Timers which was present in the past as well.
Activating Jigs on DNC main (maybe /DNC sub too? Dunno) makes two timers appear on the cooldown side of Timers. One is the correct one (Jigs) the other one is Vivacious Pulse.
Afaik been like this since when Vivacious Pulse was added.

[Trumpy]

For Timers:
When i return from being a monster relinquish is often stuck at like :48 seconds and wont go away without a reload. But i first noticed that sometimes Relinquish timer pops up without even being a monster. Its not all the time but ive been out and about on various jobs and its timer pops up and usually freezes bout :48. I will try to take note of what job has this happen in the future but i couldnt tell you now which ones.

Also a friend of mine for some reason likes to unload timers after a big battle (he is usually bard so i am guessing he has a bunch of timers up when battle is over). I suspect cause he doesnt know or want to change to non graphical or soemthign and wants timers gone off his screen. When ever he does tho //unload timers crashes his ffxi almost every time. I am goign to suggest he use reload instead of unload and see if ti helps him. Ive tried to show him how to change it to the classic look but i dont think he wants to for some reason lol.
