oh thats a good one merciless turtle

@Arcon
Ok so weird thing and i was wondering why this might be or it can get fixed if its a problem. in my LS we have a guy who lives in Switzerland. He noted in LS that his tparty was only showing HPs. his tparty folder lacked a data folder and his lua had nothing about tps in it just hps. I had him delete and reopen launcher several times to redownload but it kept downloading the same broken folder. and then i was just gonna put my tparty folder on drop box so he could copy it over and the address was a bunch of random letters and forever long so i was like "oh you should use ChatLink" and so i tell him to download and load it up and his addon list doesnt have it listed at all. Keeping in mind this whole time im opening my launcher too and it has all the addons listed so why his is different from mine I dunno.

Eventually i get the idea to go to github and have him download tparty and chatlink there. and both are working marvelously (well he did say the tps were in slightly the wrong spot so he altered the lua and they are in place. I seem to remember someone posting bout a similiar issue already).

But we went thru our lists and his addon tab is missing autolock, chatlink, consolebg, logger, text. And his plugin tab (we didnt go thru the list but the ones you guys removed because of new addons were indeed not in his list as it should be) All the addons he is missing are ones that were added since the update and of course tparty was downloading incorrectly somehow. Not sure if he has any other addons workin incorrectly other than that one but. I had him make a tparty2 folder and put the good version in it so he can copy it over if the launcher keeps overwriting it with the bad one, and he also has the github link bookmarked if he needs to. Also since they arent in his list he went ahead and added them to his init or whatever. But we were wondering why he might have a different list or why he is downloading the incorrect tparty, the only thing i could think of it might be some wacky European something messing up his list?

This has nothing to do with Europe, multiple people have reported the auto-updater getting incorrect files. We don't know why that is. We will try to switch to a different setup by hosting the addons on our server as well (like plugins, which work much better apparently). Currently we directly query GitHub for the files, but something is not right and we don't know what it is. It's possibly a caching issue.

Also if u make findall default to current character search will you also add some kind of way to search all characters so we dont have to //find :char1 //find :char2 //find :char3 and so on...

Or just make it respond to //find by searching the current character and //findall by searching everyone, restoring the behavior everyone is already used to.

This is a great idea, I'll do that now.

I'm getting an error on the find and tparty addons.

Shortly after enabling them, I get an error message, and windower automatically unloads them. The message says:

"find/tparty encountered a fatal error and must be terminated. Error: Access violation in In"

The rest of the message gets cut off by the edge of the screen, so I can't see the rest of it.

That is a plugin. Load the add-on.

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?

Is GearCollector working for anybody at all? I haven't been able to get this working with sets exported from GearSwap. It starts moving around some items but then it just stops and I have been waiting for minutes, my Mog Safe is at 56/80 and inventory at 78/80. I always end up typing "gc stop" on the console and then just gathering my gear manually

My gearcollector works fine, and has for years.

This usually means that you're trying to put items into or get items from a bag that is not accessible, since GC does not perform an availability check.

This is my settings file, all of those bags are accessible from MH (since I manually get the gear from/to them):

<settings>
<global>
<useSafe>true</useSafe>
<useLocker>true</useLocker>
<useStorage>true</useStorage>
<useSatchel>false</useSatchel>
<useSack>false</useSack>
<useCase>true</useCase>
<blockKeyboard>true</blockKeyboard>
<blockMouse>false</blockMouse>
<openStorage>true</openStorage>
<itemDelay>500</itemDelay>
<keyDelay>50</keyDelay>
<autoHeal>true</autoHeal>
</global>
</settings>

This error only started once I migrated (I was forced to! ) from SC to GS and now I am using the export XML from GS .

[Arcon]

Did you make sure that your locker didn't expire and that your Storage has 80 spaces? Storage is weird about that internally, since it will still report 80 unless checked in a specific way.

Yes, of course. My locker expires in about 3 years (hehehe) and my storage has 80 spaces, nothing has changed in that matter, //gc worked fine until last version update when Spellcast stopped to be supported and I had to migrate to Gearswap and export the XMLs to end up with the sets. I can get/put gear from all those spaces without issues.

Is there anything I can do to provide further information in order to get this mistery solved? Thanks!

[Trumpy]

Maybe post a pastebin link to the file you exported from gearswap so we can see if there is an error there that is preventing gearcollector from working

Great idea!

None of these two work:

Thanks!

Edit: just for clarification, yes, those files are on spellcast directory and they are called WHM.xml and PLD.xml, and //gc starts getting -some- of the gear but at some point just stalls and I have to open the console and just "gc stop".

I do not know if gear collector can read <Left_Ear> type stuff. I thought it uses lear, rear, ear1, ear2. But I am not even sure if what the <tag> is called really matters in the first place. Other than that it looks like a fine file to me.

Yeah, I was wondering that myself but since this is a export from gearswap using the export command, I just assumed it should work.

Let's see if Arcon or somebody else has an idea on this. Thanks!

[Byrthnoth]

Gearcollector doesn't care what the tags are, so anything that's valid xml will work.

Anyone else having windower time out (or take forever to get past the all green load screen) when checking for updates?

[Terravcota]

I've been crashing on zones a lot lately (since the last update?). Managed to get a crash dump - hopefully it can help:

[Trumpy]

Windower puts a crash dump in the dumps folder (which is in the windower folder) any time it crashes now. Is that where you got this?

I made a post about this roughly a month ago but hadn't seen any response, so reposting. RDM timers are screwed up, seems like Composure isn't being taken into account. Spells that ordinarily should be lasting 14-15min, timers is saying it'll last 7 or 8minutes(untrue; verified with timestamp). Composure itself shows as a 2hour buff on timers too, kinda annoying. Also few people in my LS have this same problem.

I thought I fixed that days ago, but I guess I didn't! Must have slipped by me somehow... I'll do it now.
