Windower 4 - Discussion and Support

[Draylo]

Still some issue with azuresets, when you change sets sometimes it will randomly say "spell # is already set" and it will unequip that spell from your set you are trying to load.

[Arcon]

Can you give this LuaCore a shot:
https://googledrive.com/host/0B1-GYv...TA/LuaCore.dll

Also, if that works (only if), can you also replace your current AzureSets with this one and see if it still works:
https://googledrive.com/host/0B1-GYv.../azuresets.lua

[Arcon]

for wildcards it requires a costly function it would be faster if you put every spell in to the list
i.e. like this
Songs = S{"Sword Madrigal","Blade Madrigal","Valor Minuet","Valor Minuet II","Valor Minuet III","Valor Minuet IV","Valor Minuet V"}

then you can check it like this
Songs:contains(spell.name)

Aye, had to separate songs somehow since debuff and buff are all clumped together as just songs. Thanks though.

You can try this if you feel like using a bit convoluted solution:

match_name = function(resource, pattern)
    return S(res[resource]:name(windower.wc_match-{pattern})):map(table.get-{'name'})
end

Songs = match_name('spells', '*Minuet*|*Madrigal')

Also, I'd appreciate it if someone could use this Timers version for a while and see a) if it works in general and b) if it works with Ghostfyre Cape and augmented Telchine gear:

I had to change Organizer's settings to be <bagname>priority</bagname> rather than <priority>bagname</priority> because valid xml tags can't start with numbers and it was causing problems with the config library. Sorry, everyone, but you'll have to change your priorities and such again!

Thank you so much! Works like a charm. Jesus christ this is the best thing since gearswap.

[Bukadan]

its done? shit this might make me want to log in

I want to try it too, to finally get rid of Gear Collector!

I want to try it too, to finally get rid of Gear Collector!

to use Organizer
1.enable it in the windower setup
2. put include('organizer-lib.lua') in your gearswap file as the first line
3. then just use the command gs org this will put all items you do not have in your gearswap file away and grab all your gear thats in your gearswap file's sets

Great and concise instructions, thank you very much! I will try it tonight and see how it goes. I assume it may be faster than Gearcollector too

(Also, of course, thanks to Byrth for writing it!).

[Shirai]

Holy! This is amazing!
Thank you, this saves me a lot of time now I don't have to export everything to XML anymore.

[edit]
One question:

Does anyone know how to make it that Organizer will also take items like meds along with the gear sorting?
I am a lazy git and I don't want to manually take out and put away my Echo drops every time I switch jobs and change gear.

[Byrthnoth]

You can make a default file in the relevant folder. I'll try and take another swing at the documentation tonight.

I came back to ask this exact question, and found that you already had, thanks for that!

Can't wait to try it tonight

[Shirai]

Thank you, Byrth.

Can you specify in Organizer what gear goes where when putting stuff away? I like to keep weapons in Satchel, armor in Safe and then accessories in Locker.

thats what i was wondering
i tried to make defaults for what goes where when not needed but then it never gets the gear i want per job file

[Imoq]

I tried organizer, put "include('organizer-lib.lua')" at start of my .lua file, and then //lua r gearswap. After that, I did: //gs org and got two error messages in console:

GearSwap: Lua runtime error: ...nts/Dropbox/ffxi/Windower4//addons/gearswap/flow.lua:98:
User Event Error: ...xiWindower4/addons/gearswap/libs/organizer-lib.lua:135: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)

Your resources appear to be out of date. Here is a new version of items.lua, which goes in ../windower/res: https://www.dropbox.com/s/6418of6s5z...items.lua?dl=0

Thanks!

I noticed that most of the .lua on that directory are dated March 15th, is that normal? I am already off FFXI tonight, but perhaps something went on with my resources which seem oudated :S How do I fix that?

[Trumpy]

Is that Organizer thing only on dev version still?

Sooo I was in moghouse last night and I was makin macros and I accidently hit one and I started casting again. So I figured I would do a small test. I unloaded Gearswap and I couldnt cast inside anymore (you have to type it in or have it macroed, you cant use menus.) Then I reloaded it and it was casting again. GS is the only thing I unloaded and tested with but I am going to assume it was indeed the culprit. HOWEVER, I ended up shutting FFXI down and rebooting and I didnt see anything update but when I got back online I got the usual You cant do this here message when trying to cast things. So it must have fixed it self. Ive noticed when I open the launcher and it updates stuff, even if it reloads it in my already open window, whatever gets updated doesnt really change til I log out. Just something I have noticed and I am completely cool with as long as I can still use addons in Win XP (I couldnt for over a week previous)

Answering to myself, just deleted (renamed) "res" directory and then deleted "updates" one. Opened Windower and now it downloaded and left up-to-date .lua resources

Wow organizer rocks, so if i only want it to use my Safe and Locker only, do i set the other bag priorties to 0? Im real anal about my inventory and only use Safe and Locker for gear collector others are for certain items.
