I put up a feature request for scoreboard on the tracker. sorry if it's the wrong place

p.s. I second the request for the FPS thing as an AddOn or somesuch; I would like to set both my main and my mule to 60fps at the same time, but that isnt possible with the current solution (afaik)

**Sechs** · 2014-06-02 19:37

Wow, you people must have a pretty tough PC.
With mine (which is not top notch altough certainly not bad either, see spoiler) I can keep 60fps just fine if I'm doing normal, lowmen or solo content.
But once I get into delve, WKR, Coloreives or anything with more than one pt the FPS starts to jump so much up and low that in the end the result is more annoying than just keeping it at 29.4

Spoiler: show

But its better than nothing. It will check for items to move everytime you load the addon, and everytime you obtain a new item.

Code:

_addon = {}
_addon.name = 'moveitems'
_addon.version = '1.000'
 
require 'sets'
 
windower.register_event('load',function ()
    items = S{
		'19773', --hagneia stone
		'4102', --light crystal
		'4096', --fire crystal
		'4098', --wind crystal
		'4101', --water crystal
		'843',  --giant bird plume
		'842',  --giant bird feather
		'6227', -- pshard i
		'926',  --lizard tail
		'852',  --lizard skin
		'4362',  --lizard egg
		'853',  --raptor skin
		'3930', --twitherym wing
		'3931', --twitherym scale
		'4370', --honey
		'846',  --insect wing
		'912',  --beehive chip
    }
    checkinventory()
end)

function checkinventory()
    for _,item in pairs(windower.ffxi.get_items().inventory) do
        if items[tostring(item.id)] then
			local satchel = windower.ffxi.get_items(5)
			local sack = windower.ffxi.get_items(6)
			local case = windower.ffxi.get_items(7)
			if satchel.max - satchel.count > 1 then
				windower.ffxi.put_item(5, item.slot)
			elseif sack.max - sack.count > 1 then
				windower.ffxi.put_item(6, item.slot)
			elseif case.max - case.count > 1 then
				windower.ffxi.put_item(7, item.slot)
			end
        end
    end
end
windower.register_event('incoming chunk',function(id,original,modified,is_injected,is_blocked)
	if id == 0x020 or id == 0x01E then
		checkinventory()
	end
end)

Awesome, thank you. I'll give this a try.

**Jomiru** · 2014-06-03 05:05

Is it a known issue with shortcuts that sometimes in game macros will give a command error with targeting in an in game macro? Like if I have /ma "Animating Wail" <me> earlier it was giving me an error in the chat log that I didn't have the <me> in the macro but I very certainly did. This has happened several times to me over the past few weeks since sc support was dropped XD

Edit: I suspect it is shortcuts because no issues ever when disabled.

You know when you use a command that generates an error (like "/c playername" with said player out of range) or you use a macro with a JA which is not ready yet, you get an error message?
Or a yellow message that says such JA is not ready yet.

Previously I could spam the macro with Pianissimo JA and I would get the error message only once or twice.
Now I get an error message EACH TIME I press the button.

It's the same for everything else.
Is this... ok? I just noticed it but I swear it wasn't like this. I have no clue what's causing it.

Sorry for bumping but... anybody got a clue what this depends on?
Is it even a Windower related issue? Some addon/plugin causing this? Or what?
I was leaning to think Shortcuts but it was just a hunch, no clue really.

**Byrthnoth** · 2014-06-03 05:46

The game typically has a 1 command per second limitation that gearswap bypasses.

**Sechs** · 2014-06-03 05:51

Aaah... so Gearswap is the "culprit".
And I never noticed before because the only hotkey I ever find myself to mash is the "Pianissimo" one on BRD, and since I just completed my BRD lua and didn't have one before... that's why.

Ungh, nevermind, I'll just learn not to mash I guess lol.
Or maybe I can filter/condensate in a single line those error messages with Battlemod? Haven't been using Battlemod in a while tbh because of my lazyness (couldn't be arsed to re-create my filters after I lost them)

**Byrthnoth** · 2014-06-03 05:58

If you wanted to, you could just use midaction() to block input for self target JAs if you are already using one. The code would look like this:

Code:

pretarget(spell)
    if spell.target.id == player.id and spell.type == 'JobAbility' and midaction() then
        cancel_spell()
        return
    end
end

If you are using Motenten's sheets or something, I don't know what it'd look like for you. perhaps the same, but job_pretarget.

**Sechs** · 2014-06-03 06:06

I will try that code, but would it work?
Keep in mind the situation I'm describing mostly implies that I'm *trying* to use such JA but the cooldown isn't ready yet. So I wouldn't be "already using one", as you said.

Spoiler: show

**Byrthnoth** · 2014-06-03 06:07

If GearSwap has cued a command for you and the server hasn't gotten back to it about the command yet, then midaction() will return true.

**Sechs** · 2014-06-03 06:10

Awesome, gonna implement that then! It will be easier than me struggling to get rid of my pianissimo-mashing habit.

**Sechs** · 2014-06-03 14:01

Byrth sorry to bother you again.
Adjusted the suggestion you gave me this way

Code:

function pretarget(spell)
    if spell.target.id == player.id and spell.name == 'Pianissimo' and midaction() then
        cancel_spell()
        return
    end
end

And it DOES work, but it also produces a side effect.
Sometimes it works perfectly, sometimes I'm unable to use Pianissimo for, say, 10 seconds or something like that.
I am unable to reproduce this "error" whenever I want, it just seems random, altough it might not be.
Any clue?

GearSwap/refresh.lua:145 (file failed to load)
GearSwap/data/filename.lua:1 attempt to call global 'require' (a nil value)

Obviously a bit late, but an easy solution for this is to paste it into bootstrap.lua in the eval addon folder, then reload eval.

Shadows: Normal. High is just hilariously unoptimized (and I remember they added it some time after PC release).

I get some drops in town because player loading is tied to framerate as well, so you get stacks of people loading almost too fast, but generally stay 55+.

Praise Gaben.

**Sechs** · 2014-06-05 03:39

Think I already have Shadows to Normal, that's when you get a black circle under characters instead than real shadows, right? I'll check again when I'm back home.
I play in 1920x1080 with Oversampling up btw, that might be the cause of the slowdowns. Maybe I could turn oversampling down to reduce the amount of load? Maybe...

I mean, as you've seen from the spoiler my PC is not the best anymore, but it's still quite a nice combination of items.

**JSHidaka** · 2014-06-05 05:55

We are talking about ff11.... I used to play it in a AMD Athlon 1ghz... 512 ram 16mb video card.... Yea with the lowest setting possible.

But any ~5 yr old "good" PC will run it w/o any issue

**Prothescar** · 2014-06-05 06:02

2x GTX 780s, an overclocked 4770k, and 16GB of high end RAM. doesn't matter. turning shadows and weather on still leads to frequent crashing, and FPS still tanks when there's enough shit on the screen. game's just not a very good port over from PS2, and time hasn't improved it at all (indeed, has made it worse). Won't stop me from wanting the FPS to be more fluid though. difference between even 30 and 40 is readily noticeable after having played XI capped at 30 for so many years.

You know those crashing are because your gpu...the game is so modern that doesn't support new hardware...

Nah, I've got a 780 also and never have a hiccup. XI really didn't like Hyperthreading in the past (before the bullshit 'dx9 update') and probably still doesn't ride it well on a decent overclock. Proth should try forcing processor affinity.
