Windower 4 - Discussion and Support

[Trumpy]

Hmm Sechs have you done outer razknar skirmish very often? its been a long time for me but i dont think the maps ever worked properly for me in there either, just wondering if they've been fixed (or maybe i jsut have faulty memory) if not if we can get a similiar list of outer razknar map ids as well and see what can be done.

[Sechs]

Outer Ra'kaznar?
I haven't been doing Outer for a while but I seem to recall maps worked at least for Tier 3 and 1. Haven't done many T4 and T5 but as far as I remember they worked fine there.
Never saw issues in Yorcia or Rala either, but Cirdas just never gets a single map right for me.

[Trumpy]

Thinking back on it i think i was looking at supposed maps of the skirmishes and when ffxidb finally worked in skirmishes i tried to lead us to where to go and the maps never seemed to match up with the ones i had outside of the game. That was a long while ago.

@ Sechs, Subadai and anyone else interested in further testing Timers, please try this new hook. It may fix the crash. If you're on the dev Windower you can just restart the Launcher, I pushed that Hook to dev already.

[Trumpy]

Did some rakaznar last night and maps seemed fine

[Shenrien]

Something dun broked, ended up crashing my character when I targeted another character.

Scoreboard:
I think I fixed AoE magic damage message, I changed the 265 id to 264. Pet AoE is still wrong and maybe other AoEs, I only tested black magic

elseif category == 'spell_finish' then
            for target in action:get_targets() do
                for subaction in target:get_actions() do
                    if T{2, 252, 264, 650}:contains(subaction.message) then
                        dps_db:add_damage(target:get_name(), CreatePlayerName(action), subaction.param)
                    end
                end
            end

I also added a function to append pet owners name to pets so you can tell the difference.
Shiva will now be Shiva (Name)

I also changed actions.lua to get the actor_id out, there's probably better way of doing it but this is the first time I've looked at any of this and these were the quick fix solutions ;p

Both are submitted

Not sure I posted this before or not, but if you send someone a tell with a really long name theres an error with answeringmachine. Seems harmless, but thought I'd let someone know.

[Sechs]

yeah.
Like Blackmagewonder for me, if he sends me tell he gets registered as Blackmagewon**** and in place of the **** you'll see the first part of his tell.
It also generates a Lua error when you try to play his tells.

About to hit the road for a couple hours, might be able to look at it tonight, and definitely by tomorrow I'll give it a whirl.

Over 1 hour of events on my brd and no sign of crash.

I mean, it's not a lot but considering how I would usually get at least 1 crash every ~20 mins of event, I'd say it's at least a good sign to begin with

[Trumpy]

Ive been gettin a weird bug and im not sure its windower exactly. But i know it affects other people tho. In abbysea Lathiene the last two times i partied there were times when i targeted a specific person and if i hit enter to bring up that action menu the blue background is to the right of where it should be and the buttons are misplaced and lower. no matter how many times i clear out my target anytime i target them and bring up action menu it does it. Other party people will get the same result. but when the person is invited to the party it goes back to normal. Its happened one time each time i partied there lately. And I always came across the person in bout the same location. I will have to try and get a screen shot next time i sees it, but from my description has anyone else seen this?

Are you using XIView or something?

[Bukadan]

ive heard someone say that before, that same thing that trumpy said. he was in abyssea when he said it, too.

[KuKuKaChoo]

I've seen that outside Abyssea (I think multiple shellmates mentioned it in Dho Gates). Seems like it happens while targeting someone with their party flag up. I do use XI View, so it could very well be that.

[Trumpy]

No I dont use FFXI View. However I guess it would be easy to test by targetting someone with party flag up if thats it. and then if its repeatable with easy try on vanilla version of ffxi. Thanks

[Arcon]

Can you screenshot it? I'm still not entirely sure what you mean.

[Trumpy]

Yea i will screen shot it if i come across it again. I dont do many exp parties these days but i do have need for merits lately so I am going to try to do that more often.
