Windower 4 - Discussion and Support

[fatrat]

Thank you dlsmd. The command //get "Vile Elixir" can be used to manually move an item to inventory. Also, the command //gets "Vile Elixir*" will move both the Vile Elixir and Vile Elixir +1 to the inventory at the same time. So thank you for that. Unfortunately, that command can't be placed within a macro, it would have to be manually typed in during the heat of battle.
The itemizer addon automatically moves Ninja tools and most medicines (Echo Drops, Remedy, etc.). I just want Itemizer fixed or "improved" so that it can also move potions.

yes it can be placed in a macro
like this
/console get "Vile Elixir"
/item "Vile Elixir" <me>

as far as doing it automatically did you enable AutoItems

if yes is itemizer giving an error??

[fatrat]

Thank you dlsmd,

In my Itemizer settings.xml I have AutoItems and AutoNinjaTools both set to true.

Doesn't seem to give an error. Just doesn't do the move.

I tried the command you suggested in a macro and it works! But, how would I invoke the move from within GearSwap?

send_command('get "Vile Elixir"')
with lua for a string it needs to be surrounded by "" or ''
here is some info http://pastebin.com/GLdhjSuR

Thank you for your help dlsmd.

After further testing, I have been able to shed some more light on the problem.


If you ONLY have a Vile Elixir on your character and you issue the command: /item "Vile Elixir" <me> then Itemizer will move it properly to Inventory and will correctly try to use the Vile Elixir.

If you ONLY have a Vile Elixir +1 on your character and you issue the command: /item "Vile Elixir +1" <me> then Itemizer will move it properly to Inventory and will correctly try to use the Vile Elixir +1.

However, here is the problem.

If you have BOTH a Vile Elixir and a Vile Elixir +1 on your character and you issue the command: /item "Vile Elixir" <me> then Itemizer will move the Vile Elixir +1 to Inventory, but NOT the Vile Elixir.


Oh, and I forgot to mention. I am issuing the /item command from within GearSwap not a regular ffxi macro. Thnx

There should be a new add-on in the Launcher now named instaLS. The game waits for your linkshell to load in inventory before it let's you speak on it, but there is no need for that from a packet perspective. The addon injects chat packets for ls 1 and 2 for the first 10 seconds after you zone, thus bypassing this problem and letting you speak immediately.

This question might be a bit premature, if it is, and you're not sure, just disregard. But I am kind of curious, will Windower continue to be supported through 2016? Or will it die off with the November update?

As I see it, the day Windower dies that will be truly the day FFXI dies. Not before!

I can't speak for everyone, but the fact they wont be updating the game anymore very likely means that windower wont be getting broken, either.

Does this only work if your LSs are in your inventory? Have both in my case and not seeing any difference.

Most of the Windower devs stopped playing years ago already, so this doesn't really affect us, except for, as Julian said, that it will make it easier on us after November 2015, since updates will stop.

[Byrthnoth]

Bag should not matter. I I'll check again when I get home.

[Byrthnoth]

I confirmed that instaLS works for me regardless where the linkshell is. I changed the way that the auto-disable works to some degree, so perhaps it will work for you now. The weakness of that addon is that it doesn't translate the standard game tokens (like <mpp>), so if you immediately zone and use <job> or something, it will just literally go out as <job> and not be replaced by your current job. Instead of figuring out a reliable way to replace all the various tokens that SE uses, I just decided to use the game system after your inventory fills.

Rooks also helped me with Organizer this weekend, and as a result there is now a beta version in the live/dev launchers, but I don't have time to write a post to explain how it works D: Maybe tomorrow morning! I'm off to bed!

It does not have direct gearswap compatibility yet, but will in the near future.

Well, they didn't say they were going to stop doing updates, just not adding any new content after November. They will still be doing job balancing updates according to the live feed.

Was there an update for windower, cause I am on WinXP and today the addon tab actually loaded, please tell me this is permanent as I have been dying without them since my better PC died.

NOTE: just tried it. turned on addons in the launcher and when the game got to the blue screen, with the accept/decline options, some addons had loaded. And then the game crashed. So i loaded it with no addons selected. Got into the game and loaded gearswap and shortcuts. and no crashes so far. So maybe it was a particular addon. If these work tho I would totally appreciate still being able to use addons like gearswap.

[Byrthnoth]

Organizer is on Dev with a readme file now, so give it a shot if you like.

Similarly, the organizer library is there as well. In order for it to work. You have to include it in your user file and have organizer loaded. Then just use "//gs o" and it should get all the gear that is in your files. I will make it faster and more accurate tonight.

[Sechs]

I get that you managed to isolate that issue with the "lost packet" where some items were randomly not being moved?

[Byrthnoth]

I think so. I rewrote a lot of it since then.

[Classikmage]

C/P'ing to this thread since it's more appropriate here.

Windower keeps crashing as soon as I try to enter the server. I select my character and hit login, and immediately crash. I'm assuming it's a plugin, anyone know which one, though?
