Windower 4 - Discussion and Support

[Trumpy]

Clock Addon. One of the times I have displayed is Japan. The internet and windows says its 9:40 am there but the clock addon is sayin 10:40 am. I tried to click the about link in the launcher and see the Time zone abbrievations and the link isnt working. So I am not sure how to fix this.

[Arcon]

I fixed the links on the about page. It's possible that there's a daylight savings mismatch. Has this been error been occurring before the DST switch last weekend? Or only since then?

[Trumpy]

still getting a 404 page (That Obi Wan is cute!) when I click the link to https://github.com/Windower/Lua/tree...Clock/reps.lua that is on the about page. weird!

As far as I know, the clock addon has given me the same time my PC clock says it was in Japan before the change this last weekend. but now its an hour off. My eastern and Pacific time pc clocks match the Clock addon before and after. So JST is the one out of the three being weird it seems.

oops i screwed up

So my PC might have taken a shit and died. So I turned on my old PC and downloaded windower 4. Its telling me i need some netframe thing which i googled and downloaded and during its install it said something about not compatible with this windows (and the version number seemed higher than I remembered it asking for when I tried to run windower.) I have windows XP. So does windower 4 not work on WinXP or is there somewhere to get the netframe thing that is the proper version to get this working on my PC? Sucks so bad.... 10,000 files to download using official FFXI atm!


EDIT:
It says to run this application i must install .NET Framework: v4.0.30319. I guess what i found was Net Framework 4.5.1

GOOD NEWS: The 5th Net framework thing i found worked!

[Arcon]

Congrats! For the record, it's .NET, not just net (pronounced dot-net). It's what the Windower launcher uses, but if you use the Windower installer (i.e. download Windower from the website) it should install the framework itself, so you shouldn't have to do anything. Unless you downloaded the dev build, because that one actually comes without the installer.

[Trumpy]

As far as I know I downloaded the windower installer version. but yea i googled the exact thing it had asked for. and not all of what i found helped at all. the official microsoft one, you would click download and the button would go away and nothing would happen. So anyways it now launches. but my addon tab is completely empty. I went and found git hub and downloaded most the addons I would want to use. and got in game and typed //lua l addon and it gave me some error about a string something. I can tell you the exact error later if you need it. This has just not been a good day for me so I think I will just sleep now and not mess with it.

Sounds like your old PC is running Windows XP. Addons do not load correctly on XP anymore, but it's a low priority issue for us because very few people still play on XP.

Why does Windower crash POL when I exit out from FFXI? I'm on Windows 7 and every time I log out from FFXI back into POL, it stops running and I get the "This application has stopped running. Close it or try to find a solution online and close it?"

[Sechs]

I've been having that issue since windower 3.42, not sure it depends on windower itself tbf.

[Tarage]

It doesn't happen when I don't use Windower.

[Subadai]

IIRC Windower crash on exit is a known issue with a low priority because it will be fixed in Windower 5.

[Tarage]

When is that?

[Subadai]

Dunno, you'd have to ask one of the devs. Personally, not a big deal to me, half the time I exit with //terminate anyway.

[Arcon]

Not soon, but yeah, it's a very low priority issue to us, because it's not very needed and seemingly very hard to fix.

Today I tried opening through Windower 4, and I got a message saying that Windower is not compatible with 64 Bit Windows 7. This is new as of this morning. I've done some investigating and it seems like it's something with a new Windower update overnight maybe? I tried a reinstall with no luck. I also wasn't able to fix it with a system restore to a point earlier in the week.

I'm out of ideas. Any idea what might be causing this? I've ruled out a Windows Patch and Antivirus blocking issue.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

[Draylo]

I'm having that same issue, I redownloaded windower and it worked after copying all the files over and now its doing it once again.

[Arcon]

Can you see if this file works for you?
