Windower 4 - Discussion and Support

[Arcon]

I just renamed it to W4old and did an install, now i can start porting stuff over and wait for the inevitable.

So the reinstall itself worked?

[Indalecia]

The reinstall itself worked yes.

I did crash after that because I derped, but I'm pretty sure I fixed it.

Edit: Strange, typing //reload Timers crashes me
On second look, I dont see a settings folder for it.

Edit2: Got timers to stop crashing, but where is the settings.xml at? I can't seem to modify it at all, be it position, font size, etc.

[Haborym]

This is untested, but it should be something like this. This also assumes you arent doing something / have a copy.

What I would do is loop all the time instead of relying on the buff dropping.

something like
while
{
//check for buffs to be active
//use meds if not active.
}

I actually had a plugin i lost the source to that did exactly this.

windower.register_event('lose buff',function(buff_id)
		local name = res.buffs[buff_id].english
        if name:lower() == 'Physical Shield' then
			windower.send_command('input /item "Fanatic's Drink" '..windower.ffxi.get_player()["name"])
		elseif name:lower() == 'Accuracy Boost' then
			windower.send_command('input /item "Stalwart's Tonic" '..windower.ffxi.get_player()["name"])
		elseif name:lower() == 'VIT Boost' then
			windower.send_command('input /item "Braver's Drink" '..windower.ffxi.get_player()["name"])
		elseif name:lower() == 'Haste' then
			windower.send_command('input /item "Champion's Tonic" '..windower.ffxi.get_player()["name"])
		elseif name:lower() == 'Regain' then
			windower.send_command('input /item "Monarch's Drink" '..windower.ffxi.get_player()["name"])
        end
end)

I am getting an error when buffs drop. ".lua2: attempt to index global 'res' (a nil value)"

Some time ago I saw a post (possibly by Byrth?) with a lua file that would go over your inventory and check to see if anything was storable on slips. Is that still kicking around?

[Trumpy]

Timers setting file is in the plugins/settings file named timers. Seems more and more plugins/addons constantly save to the settings file which makes it hard to adjust thru the file directly so lately i take to unloading whatever i am altering before i change it then loading it, if you are having trouble. But i also dual box so i think sometimes if i have the plugin/addon running on both sometimes changes on one will get ignored.

Yeah see, thats the problem. I knew that from my previous version. The reason I specifically asked where it was is because there is no settings folder in plugins. And when I artificially added one, Timers started crashing my game.

Da fuq.

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

Thanks very much!

You will need

res = require('resources')

At the top.

Dont forget that was just a proof of concept and very basic.

[Mafai]

Could some people on windows 8 test this version of sandbox (it didnt work before on windows 8).

It also wouldnt hurt if some people on windows 7 tested it to see if it didnt break for them.

[Trumpy]

When loggin in i get error:
Gearswap Lua error (runtime) blehblah/gearswap/helper_functions.lua:236: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)

[Martel]

Same here. cept i've seen it on lines 273, 294 and 407.

EDIT:Reran the launcher and the issue seems to be resolved.

[Sechs]

Just noticed that FFXIDB now works in Delve zones too. This is so incredible!

[Arcon]

Yeah, FFXIDB should now be fully fixed (as well as the mapping functions in LuaCore). However, some people report that on Windows 8 it still doesn't display right. I tried to analyze it and found out that it's a problem with textures loading. Unfortunately, I'm not entirely sure what to do about that yet. But if it works at all for you, it should work perfectly now, and it should work on new zones as soon as they're released.

Yush causes a Gearswap error.

If I have /ja "Provoke" <t> as a yush macro but no target selected it causes the following error:

/Gearswap/flow.lua:256: attempt to concatenate global 'storedcommand' (a nil value)

Only happens when I don't have something targetted. Can avoid the error by not using <t> at end of macro.

[Fake]

In addition to the above, is there any reason why yush doesn't automatically reload to the correct file when you change job, seems like that functionality would be a no-brainer.

[Arcon]

I don't really see how this can be Yush's fault, as it just sends the command directly to the game as you enter it. What happens if you just do /ja "Provoke" <t>? Does it cause the same error if you have no target? If so, that's not Yush's fault.

Also, it should change profiles on job change.

[Fake]

The error is happening even if i just type into the chat box so its gearswap that has a problem.

Yush wasn't changing profiles when I changed my subjob, tried 3-4 times and always had to /lua r yush to swap to correct profile.

[Arcon]

Can you try restarting the Launcher? I updated Yush to display in the console when it loads a profile.

[Byrthnoth]

I also just pushed a fix for this, although the debugmode explanation is wrong right now. I'll fix it in a sec.
