Windower 4 - Discussion and Support

[Karizo]

Noticed a bug in timers last night.

When buffs wear off (instead of being refreshed), the reapplied buff will show up a line lower. This will keep happening until something happens to reset it. It can go as low as covering half my chatlog.

I think reapplying a buff before it wears off may have reset the whole thing, but I can't be 100% sure.

Any chance anyone could make a add on for impetus?

Like count the number of hits built up and when it resets?

Not sure what that would accomplish. I mean it could be nice, but regardless the amount of stacks, I would always use empy +2 body with VS (the only thing I can think of that you would want to track it for). 1% Crit per stack is just too awesome =D

After your question last night, I actually wrote up a function to put into my GearSwap file for that (no need for an extra addon). Only problem is that it can't count the number of hits landed per weaponskill, or reset if you missed a hit during a weaponskill. However I figure that generally shouldn't be a problem, since even if you missed a hit during a weaponskill, the overall counter would still be valid or reset during the sequence of melee hits before the next weaponskill.

The code then applies the Tantra body if you have the minimum acceptable number of Impetus hits accumulated when you weaponskill, depending on Offense Mode (dDex is only assumed to be capped if you're in 'Mod' mode).

I play bard for almost everything I do and I've never had what you're describing happen. Could you post your gear set again so I can look at it?

Opened an issue in github with 2 screenshots (with //gs showswaps on) if that makes it any easier for you.

Here's my brd lua

I cannot find a way to reproduce this error all of the times, it's just random

Basically what Motenten's post under yours is referring to. I asked how many hits of impetus were required for Tanatra to beat out 119 bodies as a ws option. Since if I miss the attack round before I get TP, I use my regular macro instead of my tantra macro

dats nice!

Edit... nvm... fixed

[Subadai]

Happened again, third time.
I was @Tenzen D this time.
Enter the fight with 4 songs up. SV, Clarion Call, 5th song, then Night/Troub and cast the other songs.
Troub wears off before Nightingale.

I seriously don't get why sometimes it happens and most other times it works fine... how can I check it?!

Is all your gear loaded when you start swapping/casting? Ever since the wardrobe was added, it takes forever for all my gear to show up in-game.

[Sechs]

It happens even in zones where I've been idling for over 30 mins, so that's not the issue I think.

It could be an issue with the inventory structure being incorrect actually. I noticed some issues with it not being correct when fishing. We recently (a few months back) changed to a packet based inventory structure instead of memory based. Do you know a way offhand to tell if the item is found in inventory? You could print that in your precast call to see if it cant find the item due to the structure being incorrect.

bumping this error because it's annoying lol

There is a version is dev being tested atm, it likely has this fixed and will be pushed to live when it has been fully tested. Timers recently underwent a full rewrite to be able to accommodate being able to calculate durations correctly for buffs. We may or may not have jumped the gun on pushing it to live so fast before it was fully debugged.

I wouldn't know how to do that honestly, but if someone comes with some debug code and post it here I can include it in my BRD lua.
Only thing I've been able to do is using //gs showswaps on.
But I'm not sure if that tells us a lot. It might show if the ORDER of equipswap/JAuse is wrong somewhere (like aftercast equipping before JA use) but I won't be able to see if there's an "error".
Like for instance let's say Gearswap TRIES to equip Bihu Justaucorps +1, but then for some reason it fails.
I would only see the message that GS tried to do that, but then no error. So if THIS is the issue, using Showswaps on wouldn't let me notice it.

It's strange that Byrth doesn't have this issue though. Which kinda means there's more to it, it has to do with some specific differences in our setups/addons loaded/Lua files.

[Teryu]

Has blinkmenot been fixed yet?

[Byrthnoth]

BlinkMeNot works for me and every other windower dev. What is broken about it for you, and what addons/plugins are you using?

[Teryu]

I have autocontrol, azuresets, cancel, dressup, enternity, findall, macrochanger, mobcompass, plasmon, reive, salvage2, silence, timestamp, update, and zonetimer addons on. I also have attainment, autoexec, blinkmenot, boxhelper, chatlink, chatmon, distance, drawdistance, ffxidb, find, itemizer, logger, pettp, ssorganizer, statustimer, tickle, timers, tparty, and weathermon plugins on.

[Trumpy]

Teryu you forgot to say what is broken about it for you. also dressup and blinkmenot do basically the same thing. maybe you are gettin a conflict. I jsut use dressup myself.

[Byrthnoth]

DressUp's default state likely returns a modified version of the packet that causes blinking instead of blocking it, so it may be trumping BlinkMeNot. Try unloading BlinkMeNot (//unload blinkmenot) and using (//dressup blinking all all on).

[Teryu]

Ah alrighty thanks.

[Arcon]

A new Hook was just push to the dev branch. I'd appreciate if some people could test it out. You can also just download the new DLL here and put it in your live installation.

Specifically I want to know if everything text and prim related still works (i.e. pretty much everything that draws things on the screen, TParty, Distance, Clock, PetTP, ConsoleBG and so on). This will be needed for the new Timers version, and I cannot push a Timers fix before this Hook has been confirmed as working.
