Did Unlimited originally set the cap at 60 by default or was it removed entirely? I dont recall doin anything with any settins for unlimited and like to put it where it was be default

[Arcon]

It defaulted to 60 and had an option to uncap it. Config now also defaults to 60 and has an option to uncap it (by setting FrameRateDivisor to 0).

The new logger addon doesn't seem to be capturing timestamps from the chatlog using the timestamp addon and inserts lots of blank newlines for some reason in the log file. Anything I can do to fix this? settings maybe?

That's a really dumb issue, unfortunately, and results from Logger being loaded before Timestamp. I'll have to think about possible ways around it, but I may need to re-enable the Logger plugin.

Edit: You can temporarily avoid it by loading it in your init.txt file, that way it's loaded after Timestamp.

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.

Thanks, I already converted 3 jobs from XML to LUA using Motenten's templates but modified the luas quite a bit. It took me long time but at least I now have 3 usable jobs again (19 to go!).

Now, to find an easy way to use gearcollector with the luas, I read on last pages that you need to export your gear to XML, so I guess I'll try it that way, but an automatic way (if only gearcollector would read directly from the lua! or just make the export itself) would be way better.

Thanks!

It's in wildcard syntax:

Ability1|Ability2|Ability3

Using the following atm, and it's not filtering anything:

        <AbilityRecastFilter>Sublimation|Dark Arts|Light Arts</AbilityRecastFilter>

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.

Is there anything I can do to stop this from happening while using Unlimited? Or do i just have to live with it?

[Byrthnoth]

Nothing that you personally can do, as far as I have found. Maybe we'll figure out what value needs to be changed to fix this in memory some day, but it hasn't happened yet.

Any way to make the background of the Distance plugin transparent?

[Arcon]

Both the Distance plugin and the Distance addon should have a fully transparent background. If that is not the case for you check your settings file (Windower/addons/Distance/data/settings.xml) and adjust the background alpha value there, or set visibility to false if you wanna disable it entirely.

Config keeps trying to change my aspect ratio when I have that turned off.

[Trumpy]

That wall colision detector has always done that for me since i started on PS2.

[Arcon]

Config keeps trying to change my aspect ratio when I have that turned off.

Config has two options regarding aspect ratio:

AdjustAspectRatio

If this is set to true, it will automatically determine the correct aspect ratio to use and set it to that. There seems to currently be a bug with this.

AspectRatio

If the previous was set to false, this one will take effect. This one sets the value to what you have defined here explicitly.

Tl;dr Config always adjusts your aspect ratio, either automatically or to the value you have defined there.

I'm currently having this problem on an alt. Every single day I will eventually get this error regarding timers and it always kicks in during a song.



I don't have my recast/duration in the upper left at all, they are all on the far right side near my party list on the right. I control this char via logitech gkeys

[Kainstryder]

Currently having an issue with TParty still. When I deleted and redownloaded the Addon, it kept giving me version 1.0.0.0, and I had to get 2.0.1.1 from a friend. It fixed the party's TP values, but the enemy's HP% number is now on the HP bar, overlapping it (it was a bit more to the left, touching the box as others have said). I've tried messing with the value in the .lua file but anytime I save it, unload/reload it gives the "lua runtime error: attempt to call a string value". I noticed in the older TParty, what I assume is the alignment for the HP% (I know jack to little about coding, so if I'm wrong, sorry) was pos x = -128, and in the new addon, it's -104.

So, my question is, is/was this being fixed and how to download it if so, since my version keeps giving me 1.0.0.0 each time, or if someone can just post their TParty.lua with the fix, that works for me as well.

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

I tried doing this last night, but gear collector wouldn't take my gear correctly. First I noticed it took awfully long time (about 3+ minutes) then I opened the console and stopped it (via (gearcollector stop") and when I tried to //gc pld again, it echoed an error message that my inventory and wardrobe were full. They were, but there was more than enough space at storage to just take off all the un needed gear from inventory.

Tried few more things but ended up collecting my gear manually. Is this a known bug for gear collector, or did I do something terribly wrong?

[Trumpy]

I've tried messing with the value in the .lua file but anytime I save it, unload/reload it gives the "lua runtime error:

Lot of times you have to save a lua type file or settings file with the plugin/addon unloaded. If you save it then unload it, alot of them seem to save on unloading which saves the old settings. Was going through this same save/unload thing last night with two plugins. Its a sort of annoying thing that has started with windower4

Has send worked for anyone since the patch?

[Trumpy]

my Send is working now and has since update.

[NynJa]

I deleted and redownloaded it, and now its working.
