[Trumpy]

Ok thanks fellas. this will be a huge releife now i dont have to reboot everytime

[Sechs]

Report on currently broken plugins/addons?

[Byrthnoth]

Not sure. Their new status timer command potentially is cause for plugin statustimer's deprecation, though. At the least, we need to add the new status duration packet to our API and use it for statustimer's and timers.

[Sechs]

I don't see what the purpose would be to turn Statustimer into an addon that works with the durations packet.
I mean, just use the built-in thing from SE and forget the addon/plugin versions?

For timers it could be useful I guess, for buffs you cast on yourself Timers could ignore its normal processes/calculations, and just use an exact number fed by the packet.
Sounds like a change that will require some time though.


I already made another suggestion to Arcon instead, to have a new setting for timers that would allow to work right now, or in two new modes: tracking only AoE/otherpeople buffs, and otherpeople buffs only.
(under the premise that for buffs cast on yourself you can just use the timers on screen)
This would reduce the clutter on screen, and if someone doesn't like it he can still keep things as they are now.

[Byrthnoth]

I didn't stay logged in long enough this morning to see how their timers handled seconds. If it's as good as Statustimer, then I'm all for deprecating it and having one fewer plugin to support.


The benefit for Timers and stuff (there's a buff duration option, right?) would be that it allows you to see the duration of food and stuff that we don't have reliable durations for.

I've been using treasury addon, but for a week now it would not drop the specified fishes I get from mog garden (moat carp, etc). I typed: "//tr add drop global moat carp" and it would not chuck the thing. This goes for many other freshwater fish I get as well. Am I doing something wrong? I type "//tr save" after just to be sure as well, and those fish even show up in the drop list.

[Byrthnoth]

I think that SE added a second item ID for various fish a few updates ago. It could be that Treasury responds to this by ignoring your ambiguous input or attempts to drop the wrong ID.

Not sure what is broke but I went from a girl char to a dude when I talk to npc, heal, etc (turned off BMN and that seems like it helped), and I was also crashing on 2 char. (Turned off BMN and Timers that autoloaded, and haven't crashed since) Fingers Crossed!

[Rehn]

Addon dressup does the same thing as bmn and hasn't given me problems.

[HitomeOfBismarck]

There appears to be an issue with BlinkMeNot.

Spoiler: show

No idea which addon it is (tried disabling quite a few) but there is something that keeps turning people into yellow chocobos which is clientside. I have seen people turn into black chocobos, however. I don't know why.

I thought I had isolated the issue down to BattleMod but disabling that and playing for a while proved to be not the case. PlasticSurgeon and DressUp are not loaded so not really sure what would be causing this.

There is a issue in the mog gardens when you feed your monsters you are rearing. I am thinking it is game related more then windower since I do not use battlemod etc. When you feed your mob it says you feeding it but says the wrong name for your mob. Like it said my turtle was Elfo, and my urganite was CCC, and that is neither of their names. lol I am assuming it is more game related then anything with windower.

Check the Garden thread, its showing up the name of the previous mob in that family to be fed.

Timers is perfectly fine and better in some cases as it goes down to the second and its no bother. I think statustimer is now useless though, I wouldn't use that plugin anymore.

Thank you for letting me know.

BoxDestroyer gave me an error "boxdestroyer.lua:119: bad argument #1 to 'format' (number expected, got nil)" after I checked a casket and opted for a hint.

Otherwise, Binder, DelayMeNot, Timers, Battlemod, Cancel, ConsoleBG, Distance, Enternity, FindAll, Silence, Text, Timestamp, TParty, and Treasury all passed a quick sanity check. I am a Luddite and don't run GearSwap, so no idea if it's got any problems.

SE's Statustimer is pretty good; the icon will start flashing once your buff has less than 15 seconds remaining, then the countdown number will disappear at less than 5 seconds remaining. It also accounted for the extra duration of my THF reforged feet for Flee. No reason I can see to not deprecate Windower's Statustimer.

Are the new spells in for blu? Since not swapping for gs

[Subadai]

Looks like Guildwork has a problem with the mog case, /gw flush gives an error "Still downloading items in case. (0/-1 != 77/-1)".

Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?

1: I don't own a Yagrush, and if I did, it obviously wouldn't be in the body slot.

2: All the job levels are wrong, although if you shift everything from NIN and DRG down up six slots (NIN to WAR, DRG to MNK, etc), those would be accurate. I don't have any jobs at 0, 1, 2 or 3 as shown in the screenshot.

3: Guildwork is a lot more accurate with my jobs, but still has a few mistakes (incorrectly thinks I have 75 SMN, 99 PUP, 99 DRG, and doesn't want to update my DNC to 50).

I'm at a loss, if this is the fault of guildwork, ffxiah, or the LS community. Anyone have any idea on how I can get this fixed up?

Was it doing this before update? Guildwork is broke atm it seems cause of update. It is not updating ffxi ah properly, not flushing, etc, so chances are its cause of update broke something with gw.
