Windower 4 - Discussion and Support

Had a weird glitch concerning ninja attempting to cast utsusemi ni nonstop. I'm not sure what causes it to trigger after an utsu cast since the activation seems random. I'll go solo on nin some more after i do some errands to try and figure out more.Unloading gearswap doesn't stop it either so I don't think it's a gearswap problem either. Mobcompass might be related somehow but i capped merits after i restarted without that(or the restart fixed it) so it's not a large sample size there.

Sounds a lot like an itemizer issue I used to have. try there?

Ghostfyre Cape's augmented Enhancing Magic Duration term isn't being counted in Timers duration for RDM. I get the same duration timer for Haste with Duration +15 Ghostfyre Cape as without any cape.

There's a thread about this over on FFXIAH, but I figured someone here may have a solution. I, and several others, are having issues getting the Guildwork plugin to work.

Upon launching Windower and appearing in-game, we are not getting the login prompt as we should. Unloading and/or reloading just generates an "Initializing Guildwork" message, but again, we never get the prompt to log in.

From what I can tell by viewing the task manager, as soon as the Guildwork.dll file launches Guildwork.exe, Guildwork.exe gets terminated for some unknown reason.

Few things that have been tried, aside from reloading:

1: Reinstalled Guildwork.dll, and Guildwork.exe... no change in behavior.

2: Disabled Firewall and Antivirus... made no difference.

3: Ran Guildwork.exe as Administrator... made no difference.

4: Reinstalled Windower... was no help.

From what I can tell, both Windower and Guildwork.dll are working properly, but there's either a problem with Guildwork.exe, or something is forcing it to close. After trying to launch Guildwork.exe with no Firewall and Antivirus, and failing, I'm out of ideas.

Any takers on this?

Cross posting much inorite!
Since I suck and never fucking remember which Incursion adherent corresponds to which job and which inherent buff, I thought about making a small script writing that in pchat according to my current target
Look at this

Code:

	adherent_maps = {['Steadfast Adherent']="PLD, DEF+", ['Furtive Adherent']="WHM, MDB+", ['Occult Adherent']="WAR, EVA+",
		['Fleet Adherent']="WAR, Haste+", ['Brawny Adherent']="DRK, ATK+", ['Martial Adherent']="DRK,Regain+",
		['Honed Adherent']="RDM, Fast Cast+", ['Insidious Adherent']="RDM, MEVA+", ['Hexbreaking Adherent']="BLM, MAB+"}
		
function adherent_buffs(name)
	if adherent_maps(name) then
		send_command('input /p '..name..' buff is ==> '..adherent_maps[name]..)
	end
end

Would this work?
Now supposing I want to turn this into a standalone addon instead of an include into my jobs' luas, what would I have to do? Just put it into a blank lua and then perform a "//lua l addonname"?
To turn it into a stand-alone addon I would kinda need a way to bind it to a command.
Like within a GS lua I could use a self_command and then use "//gs c commandname" to call the custom function, but how could I do that within a stand-alone lua addon?

**Sechs** · 2015-02-09 18:41

Ok it works, I transformed it into a GS Lua, and it works with an include.
Now... where do I go to learn how to transform it into a stand-alone addon?

What exactly are you trying to do? Does it read a buff? Or what

Instead of an addon, you should do a Lua script. I'm not home, and I'm awful at Lua so this is a guess.

you would put this @ C:\Program Files (x86)\Windower4\scripts\AdherantAnnounce.lua and call it by doing //lua e AdherantAnnoune

Since you are using a script, it cleans itself up, if you used an addon you would need to unload it after your announce so you can re-run it again.

Don't be surprised if there is some syntax error in my Lua.

Code:

adherent_maps = {['Steadfast Adherent']="PLD, DEF+", ['Furtive Adherent']="WHM, MDB+", ['Occult Adherent']="WAR, EVA+",
		['Fleet Adherent']="WAR, Haste+", ['Brawny Adherent']="DRK, ATK+", ['Martial Adherent']="DRK,Regain+",
		['Honed Adherent']="RDM, Fast Cast+", ['Insidious Adherent']="RDM, MEVA+", ['Hexbreaking Adherent']="BLM, MAB+"}
		
function adherent_buffs(name)
	if adherent_maps(name) then
		send_command('input /p '..name..' buff is ==> '..adherent_maps[name]..)
	end
end

adherent_buffs(windower.ffxi.get_mob_by_target('t').name)

**Sechs** · 2015-02-10 21:57

After several changes, this is the final code I created

Spoiler: show

It's a stand alone Gearswap Lua.
I then "include" it into another job lua, and just type the command or bind it to a hotkey/macro.
It works perfectly.

I'd just love to learn how to turn that into a standalone addon, give it settings (like enabling people to customize the output channel, atm it's just "/p " and you cannot change it) and allow other people to use it (some people in my LS were interested).
It's just that I don't know how to do it and I don't know where to find documentation to learn about it.
I assume that a lot of things must be "logically" the same but performed with different commands, since some of the parameters/commands I used in that simple lua are Gearswap related, and not luacore related, correct?

First I'd love to delve a bit further in into the world of Lua addon development. If I find out it's too complicated for me, then I'll likely resort to change it into a script like you suggested

Can you do some tests for me? Does the Ghostfyre Cape stack with either Atrophy Gloves or Estoqueur's Houseaux +1/+2? What about the Estoqueur's set bonus or Composure? I need to know the answer to these questions before I can add it. If anyone could post those, I'd appreciate it.

**Ophannus** · 2015-02-11 08:11

Haste duration: 180s
Composure'a bonus when cast on self: x3.0
Estoq Feet: x1.20
Estoq cape: x1.10
Ghostfyre Cape: can be up to x1.20 depending on aug, ranges from a 0% bonus to 20%
Atrophy hands+1 x1.16

5/5 estoq set is 1.50x but remember the feet have its own bonus of 1.20 so combined it should be 1.70x. In other words, a rdm that only has 5/5 estoq armor with no other accessories, and Composure, has a 3.2x multiplier for self cast spells, and a 178x bonus for cast on others.

If someone wants to double check my maths.

**Arcon** · 2015-02-11 10:42

See this post for details on the math issues behind it.

This is untested, but it would be something like this to be an addon.

Commands would be:
//ab reload
//ab unload
//ab chatmode party
//ab chatmode linkshell
//ab chatmode shout
//ab chatmode say
//ab announce

or

//adherentbuffs reload
//adherentbuffs unload
//adherentbuffs chatmode party
//adherentbuffs chatmode linkshell
//adherentbuffs chatmode shout
//adherentbuffs chatmode say
//adherentbuffs announce

Code:

config = require ('config')

_addon.name     = 'AdherentBuffs'
_addon.author   = 'Sechs'
_addon.version  = '1.00'
_addon.commands = {'adherentbuffs','ab'}

defaults = T{}

--this can be say / party / linkshell / shout
defaults.announcemode = 'party'

settings = config.load(defaults)

adherent_maps = {['Steadfast Adherent']="PLD, DEF+", ['Furtive Adherent']="WHM, MDB+", ['Occult Adherent']="WAR, EVA+",
		['Fleet Adherent']="WAR, Haste+", ['Brawny Adherent']="DRK, ATK+", ['Martial Adherent']="DRK,Regain+",
		['Honed Adherent']="RDM, Fast Cast+", ['Insidious Adherent']="RDM, MEVA+", ['Hexbreaking Adherent']="BLM, MAB+"}

chatmodes = S{
	'party',
	'linkshell',
	'shout',
	'say'
}
		
windower.register_event('addon command', function (command,...)
	command = command and command:lower() or 'help'
	local args = T{...}
	if command == 'reload' then
		windower.send_command('lua unload AdherentBuffs; lua load AdherentBuffs')
	elseif command == 'unload' then
		windower.send_command('lua unload AdherentBuffs')
	elseif command == 'chatmode' then
		if chatmodes:contains(args[1]) then
			add_to_chat(053,' ***** Chat Mode Changed to '..args[1]..' *****')
			settings.announcemode = args[1]
			config.save(settings)
		else
			add_to_chat(053,' ***** '..args[1]..' is not a valid chat mode *****')
		end
	elseif command == 'announce' then
		local name = windower.ffxi.get_mob_by_target('t').name
		if adherent_maps[name] then
			send_command('input /'..settings.announcemode..' '..name..' buff is ==> '..adherent_maps[name]..'')
		else
			add_to_chat(053,' ***** Target is not an Adherent *****')
		end
	end
end)

Thanks Mafai, gonna study that closely!

Edit:
Got pretty much everything, I learned a lot of things, thanks Mafai!
There were a couple of silly mistakes which I fixed btw, now the addon works perfectly.
Posting it again in case someone wants to use it

Let me know if it even works or if you have any questions. Feel free to use it to release your first addon if you'd like. This link has instructions how to do it, if you follow them and Arcon approves it, it will show on the addon tab of the launcher.

http://forums.windower.net/index.php...try/#entry4533

You also need to follow the Licensing instructions here (this part is easy).

**Mafai** · 2015-02-11 11:49

What were the mistakes, just curious

**Sechs** · 2015-02-11 11:49

I edited the post above after you quoted me :D Fixed a few things and tested it, works perfectly

Thanks for the additional links.
Mistakes were just a few "windower." missing in front of some "send_command" and "add_to_chat".
Once I added that I did some cross tests with fake stuff added in the initial map, and all my tests worked perfectly.

Ah yea, i just copied your GS code from above and handles all that for you. You should do the github stuff so it gets added to the launcher, I don't have my dev PC hooked up since I moved so I can't do it.

**Sechs** · 2015-02-11 13:52

Yea pulled request. Fucked up sub-branching but I noticed that too late lol. Not that it matters much anyway, it's just a convenience for me were I to work on multiple addons at the same time but I see that extremely unlikely

Sorry for being a bit slow, still not comfortable in using collaborative platforms :D

**Sithel** · 2015-02-11 17:11

Like this addon Sechs Thank you.
Only issue I'm getting is when you don't target anything and do //ab announce
It pulls a error on line 43: attempt to index a nil value.
This is what line 43 is for me below:

Code:

local name = windower.ffxi.get_mob_by_target('t').name

You should see this addon on the addon tab within a day of so, he did a lot of work on it today and it is close to being ready.
