Windower 4 - Discussion and Support

[ZetaEpyon]

Can also confirm the indicator dots are missing on the minimap.
I checked my settings xml and all of the <Show*> values are set to True, but nothing is shown except the map itself.

[dlsmd]

So I did actually manage to get this to return some data. But it's kind of hard to use. Two issues.

1: extdata.decode(item) Where you have item, I couldn't get the item name, ID or anything to work. I ended up having to put a enchanted item as the only item in safe2 and use windower.ffxi.get_items(9,1) to get it to return data. Is there a simpler, more flexible way of pointing it to the desired item?

2: The returned data for warp ring looked like this.

1 1431903686

The 1 is simple enough, number of uses. But 1431903686? I can't figure out what kinda format/conversion it's using. If I was only going to use this for one item, I could just use that value, and compare it to the current value. But I was looking to make something that could check if any enchanted item recast was ready. Anyway, before I try analyzing that I thought I'd ask if anyone knew already.

this will go through all your bags looking for the item you want using this get_item_next_use(<item name>) replace <item name> with the item you want to check

extdata = require('extdata')
require('luau')
function get_item_next_use(name)
    for _,i in ipairs({"inventory","safe","storage","locker","satchel","sack","case","wardrobe","safe2"}) do
        for _,v in ipairs(windower.ffxi.get_items()[i]) do
            --print(i,v,v.id)
            if v.id > 0 and res.items[v.id].name == name then
                local data = extdata.decode(v)
                return (data.next_use_time+os.difftime(os.time(os.date("!*t", os.time())),os.time(os.date("*t", os.time()))))-os.time()
            end
        end
    end
end
--example:
print(get_item_next_use("Trizek Ring"))

Some Windower update in the last few hours broke organizer.

Now I do //gs org and it says something like:

Organizer: Done! - 22 items matched and 52 items missing! (number varies depending on the job).

I think it has to do something with it starting to use Storage 2 now...

Any ideas?

(Edit: just to clarify, it was working fine until some hours ago, when there was some Windower update).

[Malithar]

Someone confirmed that it still doesn't fix it (with Drain III), but this is because the new job points haven't been added to the LuaCore API yet. When LuaCore is updated, it will start working. Until then, you can use filtered_action(spell) with handling for these spells.

Never used filtered_action(spell). Any chance of a rough example to go off of? I tried a couple of lines out based on some lua files I found through Google with the function, but all that did was break the lua. :3

[Maurauc]

I've been having continued issues with //gs org since the last hook update, where there's a high likelyhood of it writing "Starting..." and then not continuing to do anything afterwards.
Safe 2 issue or something else?

[Byrthnoth]

Rooks fixed all the organizer problems that he knows of tonight. Rerun launcher and it'll probably work.

I updated the plugin API (and LuaCore, I think) to include all the new job points, but I'm not sure what else is required. Arcon will probably finish the implementation at some point this week, at which time all your new job point spells and stuff will start working. I don't know when/if they'll be added to guildwork, but probably some time after that.

I think we figured out why Itemizer is not working with safe2 and that will likely be fixed within the next day or two as well.

(I have yet to test it, but...) you guys rock! Thanks a lot for fixing this, even if (some? many? all of?) you are no longer actively playing!

[Maurauc]

Thank you Rooks, Byrth, Arcon, and everyone else involved with developing Windower.
Anything that anyone with a moderate level of C++ knowledge can do to help with development?

[Seekerstar]

Someone fixed the minimap dots as well; I appreciate it very much!

Is there a way to make FFOChat auto-join a custom channel on character login? My linkshell has over 400 people in it and many of them are being told the shell is full and they can't equip their pearl.

[Byrthnoth]

Sure, go to your ffochat settings and change this line:

        <autoJoin>#ffxidb,#lua</autoJoin>

My full file is this:

Thanks for that. Trying it out now. LS leader decided to try 2 shells, with sackholders required to be in both. I don't think that's going to handle the capacity increase we need.

I tried this line, and got an error:

<autoJoin>#Reddit,#gamerescape,#Asura</autoJoin>

Error is: [FFOChat] Attempting to Connect
Connection failed: An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions (code: 10013)

No idea how to fix that.

[rikimaru_gaisen]

^ in addition to this.
Timers doesn't handles SMN BP ward timers anymore. Nothing happens when I use a BP Ward.

I'm also not getting any Phantom Roll times either. ><

Almost certainly! I have been really busy lately, and continue to be so. I keep postponing things I want to do to the "next weekend" only to find out that I have to work again that weekend, so I keep pushing it ahead by one week. This has been going on for a while now <_<

If you're interested to know what you could help with, join us on IRC and send me a PM, we can talk more easily there.

No idea either! This isn't a Windower error, it's a Windows socket error message, and according to some Google searches the cause seems to be that other software is preventing you to use that port, for example by blocking it. Can you connect to IRC through other programs? It could also be that you need admin privileges, in which case... I have no idea how to go about it.

Edit:
Apparently anti-virus software can also be blocking it. Googling the error shows a few workarounds, but not one thing that works for everyone.

Two oddities happening this morning that weren't happening last night- one is that Tier 6 spells aren't working with Gearswap again (tried the "ghetto" fix of changing the level to no avail as well), as well as a pointwatch error:

Lua Runtime error: pointwatch/pointwatch.lua:191: assertion failed

attempted clean download of both res folder and pointwatch addon to resolve each issue, no luck. Any suggestions?

[bungiefan]

In order to use Windower, I've already had to be admin with UAC off, so that shouldn't be the issue. I'm on Win7 with ESET Internet Security. I don't have an IRC program set up on this machine otherwise to test, it's been too long since I used one to remember how to get going on it. A mibbit link worked in Firefox, but I think that accesses a little differently.

[Damane]

Windower or gearswap giving out some error //gs org istn working and cant find items anymore (was fine yesterday) or rather organizer

error I amg etting is:
Organizer: Lua runtime error: ....blabla/addons/organizer/organizer.lua: 152: attempt to index field 'retain' (a nil value)

[Sechs]

Damane for the Composure wrong calculations on Timers you mentioned yesterday, try looking HERE. Might be the same issue.
If it is, just bump it up and eventually some dev will notice it.

[Damane]

yeah i got the same thing, timers thinks other players have composure on too when i cast stuff with composure

[Cyleena]

They came out with another timer update today though do not know if it fixed this issue. Was also a BMN update.
