Windower 4 - Discussion and Support

[Martel]

It is XI view causing it. They've changed the equipment screen to house the wardrobe storage options, which is obviously different to how it was.

The XIview thread on the windower site specifically references it

Odd thing though. I'm using the outdated XI view, and getting the equip menu crash on my main. But not on my mule. <,<

If it was the dat... shouldn't it be crashing both?

I don't know the specifics of whats causing it, maybe something to do with how much gear is placed in the wardrobe (or a combination of wardrobe+inventory).

Best option is to use standard dats and only replace dat 57 for icons until it is fixed properly

[Martel]

Well, I've got 0 gear in wardrobe on both, so that's not it. Personally, I'll just avoid my equip menu till XI View is updated.

[Nitecon]

For some reason, my scoreboard position is constantly resetting itself.

The scoreboard.lua file hasn't changed, however the settings.xml file in the data folder is constantly resetting itself to default position. Any suggestions?

[Arcon]

Scoreboard is fuxed, I'm working on it.

[Sechs]

Did something change in the last Windower patch? Background resolution keeps on resetting to 512x512 each time I load FFXI with Windower despite of my settings.

[Ophannus]

New equipment and Sparks of Eminence rings still not being recognized by addons :/

like every new gear on every update.. wait for resources update

[Arcon]

Resources have been updated. If they're still not being recognized they must be in new DAT files which we have yet to map. Can you name an item which isn't being recognized?

Happened 4 times in a row when I loaded up Windower.
It seems that instead of getting the supersampling multiplier the background res gets set to 512x512 for some reason, but as far as I can see is nothing in the settings.xml
What got changed over the last Windower patches that could have broke that? And how come nobody else reported it? The graphic difference is quite huge, difficult not to notice it...

[Arcon]

Nothing has changed in that respect.

[Sechs]

blahblah blah, bullshit.


Ok doublechecked the registries, and the supersampling is indeed active.
I have no clue what's going on but something is "wrong" in the textures of everything except character models.
Something about bump mapping? I don't know, I only know it wasn't like this before the last patch and I didn't touch anything.

[chichicha]

Nothing changed here ... sechs

Is there a fix to AutoRa or Makeshot? I keep getting a 'status' error when it fires a shot.

Is there a fix to AutoRa or Makeshot? I keep getting a 'status' error when it fires a shot.

windower.register_event('action',function (act)
	local actor = act.actor_id
	local category = act.category
	local player = windower.ffxi.get_player()
	
	if ((actor == (player.id or player.index))) then
		if category == 2 then
			if auto == 1 then
				if (player.status:lower() == 'engaged' ) then
					auto = 1
				elseif (player.status:lower() == 'idle' ) then
					auto = 0
				end
			end
			
			if auto == 1 then
				windower.send_command('wait 2; /shoot <t>')
			elseif auto == 0 then
			end
		end
	end
end)

who ever fixed the addon forgot to fix that part...

				if (player.status:lower() == 'engaged' ) then
					auto = 1
				elseif (player.status:lower() == 'idle' ) then
					auto = 0
				end

to

				if  player.status == 1 then
					auto = 1
				elseif  player.status == 0 then
					auto = 0
				end

line 95 and 97

Edit.. they were others errors... like need to add the @wait, and the inputs... it is working now..

Timers stratagems counter not working again, stays fixed on [1]

[Sechs]

Arcon fixed it twice in the past! then it broke again and... for good it seems lol

After you use stratagems, if you type //reload timers, the stratagems will begin working as normal, just saying.
