You should never touch the Lua file. It will reset to '\n' again the next time it's updated. Go to Windower/addons/Clock/data/settings.xml and change it in there, those are your personal settings and updates won't overwrite them. Font can be adjusted there as well (as well as font size, color, background, stroke, alignment, bold, italic, etc.).

Ok that worked thanks, I used \032 instead of \n in case anyone was wondering what to change separator to for a space separator (maybe there was something besides \032 I could have used for space?)

Does the logger addon work with battlemod?

Logger isn't trying to download anymore, but still getting the hook redownload every time launcher is opened.

Is there any chance there will be an add-on that will allow someone to run a linkshell relay that automatically repeats chat, with the sender's name, between the two linkshells? That would be awesome, and would prevent need for linkshell overlap. Someone could leave it on an LS mule. I know of an LS or two that frequently hits the 64-player limit for who can be logged in.

Now that find is no longer a plugin, is it possible to have the command //find just search the player character and not search every character? I know you can use //find :charactername item but thats more typing. Just a thought unless I'm missing something.

[Arcon]

Unfortunately you cannot emulate the sender's name, the server assigns the name itself. You could however put the original sender name in as part of the message, i.e. something like this:
<Me> <OriginalSender> said on LS1: Hello!

No, but you can do "//alias find findall :Draylo", then using //find will only search your character.

Nice, thank you.

Hi guys, I posted a thread in the official Windower forum looking for help about crashing on Windower startup and I would really appreciate it if anyone could take a look at it rather than starting a separate discussion about it here. Thanks! Here's the link with spaces in the url for posting:

Chatlink seems to add listed links to it's own list if you do //clink list, so if you were to do it a few times it could get stuffed with duplicate links

for those who were still using spellcast cause they were too lazy to redo all their shit for gearcast, it finally bit the bullet -_-

Sorry, I understood that, I just took it for granted as understood. Figured we could have it as charactername: message. It would only run into an issue with max-length messages. Still nice to have that function in any form. Would make some things more manageable.

is there any way to use gearcollector with gearswap, or is there an alternative for it?

I noticed. I'm mostly sad because I was never quite able to get GearSwap to function as intuitively for me as groups did. I guess it's time to re-learn it and update everything.

So sad.

There is absolutely a way, altough Byrth is building a new addon that will directly read your sets in your gearswap files and get items through packets (which means a bunch of seconds instead of the ~2 mins required by Gearcollector)

To work with gear collector you need first to extract your current lua into an XML format. do the following steps:


1) Load the Lua you want to transform into a GC-working file
2) write //gs export sets xml mainjob - this will produce a file called "Nynja_job.xml" in the gearswap/data/export folder
3) repeat for all your jobs/luas
4) go to the /export folder, take all the files that have been created and cut them
5) go to the windower/plugins/spellcast folder and paste your cut files there
6) Now inside the game use the "//gc job" command and things will go smoothly

Thanks, hadn't considered that case. I'll add an exception to it.

I lost my TP display from TParty. think it was ok until an hour ago.

[Arcon]

Try //lua r tparty and tell me what version it says you have. The current version is 2.0.1.1, if you have anything less try to update.

Did it? noooo! it means that I will have to spend the weekend trying to migrate to stupid GS... any "easy" guide for making the migration less painful? (I bet there are thousands).
