Windower 4 - Discussion and Support

[Trumpy]

Hmm did the forum get changed today? I cant reply right from the thread like usual and also had to log in for the first time in forever lol.

Anyways, I thought they fixed Gearcollector to work from the export folder as well so we didnt need to move the files. Did that not happen? (I havent used gearcollector in a while) If Spellcast has gone the way of the dodo completely maybe it would make sense that if the plugin gearcollector had to use files from a specific folder it should be a folder called gearcollector to lessen confusion in the future (if not the export folder where those luas get made. I remember a command to easily overwrite those luas when u export to that makes me think that is where it read from)?

I noticed last night the tparty plugin was removed completely. Did you guys fix the addon to do "whatever it was that the plugin did right that the addon didnt." I cant remember what it was at the moment. Man I wish my memory didnt fail so much. Apparently i was still using the plugin over the addon, and I cant remember what it was the addon didnt do.

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.

I'm using 2.0.1.1.
I'm not sure when TP depopped, but this is i did until notice no TP showing.
did content with TParty(TP was there for sure) => launch launcher(downloaded something and reloaded all addons) => switch to sub character on same account.
delete/redownload tparty and relaunch windower didn't help. no error message at all and target hp% is been working fine.

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).

Input your gear and you're basically good to go.

[NynJa]

Use Motenten's templates and just input your gear. It's still taking me a while to convert a few, since I'm doing a lot of back checking.

What are the drawdistance commands for config? It resets the drawdistance when logging on other chars.

What are the drawdistance commands for config? It resets the drawdistance when logging on other chars.

If you adjust settings in-game through commands (e.g. //config MapDrawDistance 10) then it will only save them for the current character. I just pushed a new Config version which adds the command "//config save", which saves the current character's settings globally, i.e. make it apply to all characters.

Alternatively you can edit the settings XML manually and move everything from the character-specific section into the global section.

Is there something to replace the name completion / short form functionality that spellcast provided? Eg "/ma cure3 me" etc?

Ok so what is the process to using the latentchecker addon? Following what it says on the about link in the launcher it tells of two commands but nothing about where to have the weapon (equipped or unequipped) nor any messages anywhere to tell you the //ls unequip toggle has toggled. I was messing with it and couldnt get it to do anything for 10 mins. I had the sword on and it finally showed signs of doin anything but it was an error message (which Ive lost cause it scrolled up in subsequent attempts, which failed, and you cant go back up the console). I think when i got it to work i was in my moghouse and i had it unequipped. It showed the message in the console. It worked about 3 times then it stopped working again. Been taking it off. i been moving it between my bags, nothing was working. all my bags werent full as well. Had I known it was gonna stop workin i would have written the error i got but I didnt get to it.

Got it to work a couple times and got the error when sword was equipped:
lua:56 attempt to concatenate field 'ws_points' (a nil value)
But still more details on how to use might help at least on the about page linked from the launcher.

So with the "<AbilityRecastFilter />" option, where am I supposed to put the JAs I want to filter out?
I tried transforming it into:

        <AbilityRecastFilter>
        ability1
        ability2
        ability3
        </AbilityRecastFilter>

It was working, but now it's gone from the xml configuration file so I suppose I did something wrong.

1. you must have the weapon in your inventory not in your wardrobe
2. if you want to have it auto unequip the item use command "lc unequip" this will only work for main hand
3. then use lc run
4. reequip you weapon and continue

still no TP show up with my TParty.
tried reinstall Windower and launch with no other addons but no luck.
I got someone upload TParty version 2.0.0.0 for testing and it showing TP now x.x

[Malithar]

Been having a minor issue the past few days. Ctrl P to talk in party chat and Ctrl M to open the magic menu no longer work. Tried without Windower and it worked so it's something in there. Gonna troubleshoot addons/plugins later to see if there's one that's causing it. Just posting in case someone knows what might be causing it.

Figured this out. It's actually due to a GFX card update that added AMD Gaming Evolved, some sorta background app that allows for more control of your games and integrated streaming services. Apparently without Windower launched, it couldn't override the base game macros with it's own shortcuts, allowing ctrl p and such to work. With Windower up though, it's shortcuts overwrote FFXI's. Just had to go in and change it's shortcuts to something else.

It was working, but now it's gone from the xml configuration file so I suppose I did something wrong.

It's in wildcard syntax:

Ability1|Ability2|Ability3

I have a little issue with Unlimited, I was wondering if there was any way to remedy this? Whenever my screen gets close to my character, like if I'm backed up against the wall and try to rotate bu screen, it glitches or something, it constantly moves in and out at a very fast rate. Didn't have this issue at 30 FPS though.

Don't get me wrong, I love the plugin, and I still use it, I'm just wondering if there is anyway I can stop this from happening?

ffxi's wall collision detection for the camera causes this not Unlimited you can see this happening when your camera hits a wall

[Byrthnoth]

FFXI's camera-wall collision detector has a deadzone that is calibrated for 30Hz. When you bump up to 60Hz for some reason the deadzone stops working quite right and you get that oscillation between two camera positions.

I pushed an update, can you see if it works now?

[Arcon]

The Unlimited plugin was also deprecated just now. Its functionality was added to the Config plugin. The "FrameRateDivisor" setting determines the game's FPS cap. To increase cap to 60, set that setting to 1, to remove the cap entirely set it to 0.

[Mococo]

New version working and shows TP again. Thank you for fix!
