Windower 4 - Discussion and Support

[Classikmage]

Just came back today after about 1 year off. Playonline keep randomly crashing on me but i don't know if it's a Playonline thing, or a Windower thing. So far it's happened 3x. Once when I hit my Meditate macro, another time when I hit my TP macro, and a wrd time when I tried to call a trust from menu. recently upgraded to Windows 10 a month ago, I don't know if that would have anything to do with it though.

EDIT: just happened again just as I logged in, all I did was hit the menu key, and a 2nd time again JUST as I hit my Meditate macro, again. WTF...

Ok, just tried running Windower and Playonline in compatibility mode for Windows 8/7/XP and it crashed right at the startup screen every time.... good thing I'm not paying for this at the moment, because this is some straight up bullshit... guess I'm going back to running it under Windows 10.

Ok, I THINK I fixed it. I disabled BMN and haven't DC'd yet, lol.

[Trumpy]

dressup does the same thing as BMN if you need a replacement

Does anyone have a script for selling Prize Powder? Been using the script Byrth posted a while back to buy shields, but just started turning acc into prize powder and my fingers are bleeding..

Is there an addon or plugin that I could use to mimic keypad presses to all active windows? IE: when using homepoint warps, instead of having to do the keypad presses on all 3 chars, I can enable the addon, do the menu selection on 1 char, and it gets mimiced to the other 2 windows?

[Trumpy]

without writing a whole new plugin I spose you could write a command into your gearswap file. make that command initiate a .txt script that does the button presses (usin exec text.txt is the only way I know of to mimic button presses) and also sends (via send addon to @others) to a mule the same command. But you'd have to make a command for each place you would want to go, if there are places you frequented. so you would need to write the command into your main file. copy paste that into the mules minus the sending the command to other characters. then write an init for each homepoint you frequented.

like //gs c wadoulin

which would exec wadoulin.txt

which you would have the process of hittin the buttons to go to that place.

Otherwise, I dunno if there would be a way to record your actions like that.

The issue with this, is that the variable latency when using the menus means the command has to run very slowly(long waits between each confirmation to allow the menu to change), or you sometimes end up in the wrong section of the menu.

I would think, that it should be possible to code something that will grab the packet your main character sent when selecting the destination and have the alts send the same one. Triggering the same destination as selected by main. much like the sparks code that yields a shield from the npc while bypassing the menus. Mind you, I don't know how to code that, but I think it should be possible.

Would be really useful for a lot of menus while dualboxing... Hmmm, deeply interested in someone making that an addon. It's a bit beyond me code-wise.

I am back very recently, and I have been experiencing CDTs randomly while playing. I'm not sure this is anything related to windower, but I would like to rule it out. I don't remember how to make crash logs for windower. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

There doesn't seem to be any specific cause, but it happens most often when I am fighting something. I don't DC, pol.exe just completely crashes.

Thats not the problem actually, the problem is the order can change depending where I am. If I'm in Tavnazia for example, the menu changes because theres no other HP's in the region, so the "current region" submenu disappears, so having a script to automate the HP menu could possibly find me in an unintended spot.

That's a really good point. lol. It could be worked around but it'd be a huge pain in the ass. I vote for the packet duplication method. <,<

is wardrobe 2 now working with gearswap and organizer?

[Byrthnoth]

Organizer still ignores it, but gearswap works with it.

[Sechs]

Byrth did you change anything in validate.lua over the past few months?
I have a modded version I created in december which was working fine (I modded it so I could use //gs validate wardrobe, //gs validate mogsafe etc instead of just //gs validate inventory)
Now it's giving me error on the line in bold

function search_sets_for_items_in_bag(bag, filter)
    local extra_bag_items = S{}
    for _,item in ipairs(bag) do
        if item.id ~= 0 and tryfilter(lowercase_name(get_log_name_by_item_id(item.id)), filter) then
            if not find_in_sets(item, sets) then
                extra_bag_items:add(item)
            end
        end
    end
    
    return extra_bag_items
end

Geaswap: Lua runtime error: gearswap/validate.luaxx:
bad argument #1 to 'ipairs' (table expected, got nil)


So, what changed in Gearswap that would cause a "validate.lua" that was working fine in december to no longer work now? (maybe it hasn't been working for a while, I haven't used my custom function since xmas)

[Byrthnoth]

There's no bolded line because it's in code brackets. It looks like you're passing it a nil bag?

[Sechs]

The line was " for _,item in ipairs(bag) do", sorry.
I dunno, I never managed to learn what "ipairs" do and how it works so I can't understand what's broken, but something has gotta be different somewhere in GS because that same custom validate.lua used to work flawlessly in december.


THIS is the original post when I developed the changes.
The current validate.lua I have is exactely the same, aside from the fact I also added wardrobe2.


From what I remember I modified the "validate" function to handle multiple types of validation (by default it only handles "sets" and "inv" options).
Then I modified the "validate_inventory" function to accept two parameters in entrance, one is the same as default, the second defines the specific bag to perform the validation on.
I can't remember any other differences I created and it worked perfectly fine.


I noticed a small difference in your own coding though.
New
display_list:map(function(item) msg.add_to_chat(120, windower.to_shift_jis((string.gsub(item, "^%l", string.upper))) ) end)

Old
display_list:map(function(item) msg.add_to_chat(120, (string.gsub(item, "^%l", string.upper)) ) end)

[Byrthnoth]

Someone else changed that, actually, but it doesn't matter.

[Sechs]

So what's the difference from December? Some other .lua? Some other component that has nothing to do with Gearswap?
I swear on my galka balls that custom lua used to work flawlessly.

[Byrthnoth]

I don't really know what's wrong with your file. They added Wardrobe 2 and perhaps your Lua is passing in a nil item collection ("bag") for that?

Not sure if this is the right place, but is ffxiah not detecting anyone else through Guildwork? Despite me keeping Guildwork loaded all day, it can't see the majority of my gear, and it doesn't list any of the stuff I have in my bazaar
