Windower 4 - Discussion and Support

[Priran]

Rolltracker was having issues with errors whenever somebody else did a roll.

Yeah I noticed this two days ago (dunno if it's been fixed), if somebody not in my party did a roll (i.e. in town, random people using Bolter's) it would give a message similar to a normal one but without any names in it.

[Arcon]

It should have been fixed.

Pretty sure the issues I've been having are linked to Highlight.

I am pretty unaffected if I'm just doing stuff by myself, I started having issues during alliance exp in Abyssea and again in alliance event. Definitely isn't related to drops, I've had it happen before anything has been killed.

Will test further but for now removing Highlight seems to have worked.

Edit: Played for 3hrs without a single lockup since removing Highlight.

[Fake]

Highlight is 100% the culprit, another ls member was 3boxing in abyssea alliance exp and had the exact same issue while using the addon.

Would it be possible to detect if /lockstyle is on or off? Would be handy in Gearswap.

[Byrthnoth]

You can only detect it for yourself by monitor outgoing packets, which means it would have to be added to the windower plugin API in order for it to be accessible to GearSwap.

Point watch updated?

Point watch updated?
Last night not showing sparks

You need to read the documentation. Pointwatch allows you to customize the line it displays. One of the things you can add is sparks.

Gametime: on game day change gives error:

gametime: Lua error (runtime) - ...ramfiles (x86)/windower4//addons/libs/functions.lua.101: attempt to call upvalue 'fn1' (a nil value)

I saw this a few pages back but never saw an answer. Is there a fix for this, or anything easy to edit to make it stop? It's not a huge deal but it's just kind of annoying having it pop up in the console every hour. Also mins shows the error at line 111

Got a bunch of windower updates today to resources and a bunch of addons etc, now i'm getting a bunch of crashes, I think it's gearswap related, as I didn't have them until swapping from sch (which does not currently use gs) to geo (which does use gs) Crashed 3 times in a Marjami delve when I was trying to cast luopans.

Able to reproduce by spamming some lupoans in Marjami proper (specifically geo-fury). Here's a pastebin with my lua, it's pretty simple so I'm not sure what could be causing it.

We'll need a crash dump to figure out why you crash.

Just pushed a possible fix for that.

Thanks I'll get one later.

[pancakesandsex]

Is there a changelog we can look at somewhere whenever a bunch of addon updates get pushed? I have no idea what it's downloading whenever it starts updating them.

[Byrthnoth]

Yeah, on Github. On phone, so no link. How useful the descriptions are is up to the authors. Mine vary from accurate and concise to "I can't believe I did that."

For hook, plugins and launcher:
https://github.com/Windower/Issues/b...r/ChangeLog.md

For addons:
https://github.com/Windower/Lua/commits/4.1-dev

For resources:
https://github.com/Windower/Resource...commits/master

Note that resources will sometimes update the commit log even though no new resources will be downloaded, if we just do some refactoring for example.

And Byrth has the best commit messages as evidenced by this:

Thanks. I'm clueless what updates could be causing my issue from looking at things. I don't think my GS is referencing anything incorrectly. I'll find out more once I get a crash log I guess.

Probably statics. Extract this zip to your windower folder: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ee0remjs74yd2w3/res.zip

You should end up with a windower/res folder that has skills.lua, spells.lua, items.lua, etc. inside of it. Sorry we have to go through this, but you're pretty much manually updating because the windower server decided to shit itself one day after we pushed a major change. Feels like 2010 all over again.

I am sorry where do I put what in? because I am getting Lua error (uknown 1) - E://blabla/windower4//addons/libs/resources.lua:74: attempt to concatenate field 'windower_path' (a nil value)

I had no problem on sunday and today nothing works :/

Is it typically when fighting Hakawai or Podarge? We have this same issue in my LS, except it happens to multiple members. We have changed where we fight it and it seems to have gone away completely. I do not think its windower related.

I was able to reproduce by spamming luopans outside of delve, in marjami, not in a party, with nothing else going on.

[solkanar]

Just pushed a possible fix for that.

No more error on day change, awesome, thank you!
