Windower 4 - Discussion and Support

[Byrthnoth]

I think there's a way to determine which mounts people have, which Shortcuts does. This addon should be possible.

[dlsmd]

and you can use this to get a random number
math.floor(math.random(1, 5))
math.ceil(math.random(0, 4))

[Trumpy]

See here is where I fail, I have no idea how you would utilize that random number thing. I honestly wouldnt know where to begin on something like this.

[Byrthnoth]

mountarray = {[1]="Crab",[2]="Tiger"} -- etc. generate this dynamically based on the mounts they have

function random_mount(mountarray)
    return mountarray[math.ceil(math.random(0,#mountarray))]
end

math.random(0,#mountarray) will return a number between 0 and the number of elements in mountarray. That number will be ceil()'d and will give you an integer from 0 to #mountarray, which is astronomically unlikely to be 0 but will error out if it is. Anyway, then it look for that key in the mountarray table and returns the string value associated with it.

I have a couple of questions about the dressup addon for windower, but I tried to make an account at windower.net and the registration process is broken, sends a link to your email address that doesn't work, and the code given doesn't work either, tried it 2x to be sure, so I decided to come over to this huge thread to ask my questions and hopefully get them answered, so here goes.

I have the DressUp addon for windower and I can't for the life of me figure out how to stop my character from blinking or other chars from blinking. I looked at the link for the readme but I can't make heads or tails of that thing. I tried //du blinking self on- still blinked so I tried //du blinking self off and that didn't work either, so if someone knows how to turn the blinking off like blinkmenot used to do, please share because I am really frustrated trying figure this out. Thanks

Toss on math.max and it should never error out
return math.max(1, mountarray[math.ceil(math.random(0,#mountarray))])

Or you could live dangerously

[Trumpy]

I think the old blinkmenot commands work with dressup or did at one time. did you try typing "//dressup help" most addons will print out commands when you type help at the end. I am not on my pc with ffxi atm so i cant check if that works for this addon or not.

If you can't figure out the commands, check out inside the data folder of dressup for a settings file, tweak the settings there then reload the addon.

Are we talking about changing all the false settings to true? xml doc cant change the settings in there

The ones you want.. Yes you can, open it with notepad. Save it, reload dressup

[Trumpy]

You might need to completely unload the addons then alter the settings xml file. Sometimes the addons like to keep their settings while loaded. I cant believe i totally forgot about that method anyway, I use it half the time myself. Also if i think back on it I think that blinking command i could never get to work but the old blinkmenot ones would work for me. I dunno why, that just how it was.

People have successfully registered in the last 24 hours. What error did you get?

[dlsmd]

mountarray = {[1]="Crab",[2]="Tiger"} -- etc. generate this dynamically based on the mounts they have

function random_mount(mountarray)
    return mountarray[math.ceil(math.random(0,#mountarray))]
end

this should kill any chance that 0 will be selected

function random_mount(mountarray)
    local select_mount = 0
    while select_mount < 1 do
        select_mount = math.ceil(math.random(0,#mountarray))]
    end
    return mountarray[select_mount]
end

[Trumpy]

OK so the the command for summoning mounts taken from the version update notes was

You may also mount using the text command /mount [mount name].

How do you utilize that from the random selection? Unless you can figure out how to do it via packets or whatever. I dunno whatever is easiest.

[Byrthnoth]

windower.send_command('input /mount '..random_mount(mountarray)..' <me>')

like this

function random_mount(mountarray)
    local select_mount = 0
    while select_mount < 1 do
        select_mount = math.ceil(math.random(0,#mountarray))]
    end
    return mountarray[select_mount]
end

function UseMount()
    --Build mountarray not sure how to do this because i dont know where to look for mounts you have
    windower.send_command("input /mount "..random_mount(mountarray))
end

Just tossed together your code parts with some of that copywrite stuff you guys like
And then to use you would type?

//mu usemount

People have successfully registered in the last 24 hours. What error did you get?

When I created the account and was sent to my email and clicked the link provided I got:

PWM 5033



The PWM configuration is invalid or corrupt. Please correct the error, or remove the configuration file. { 5033 ERROR_INVALID_CONFIG (New User Registration -> New User Form does not contain the ldap naming attribute 'cn', but is required because it is the ldap naming attribute and the username is not being automatically generated.) }

And when I use the code given and click the verify or whatever it is I get sent back to the account making screen:

New User Registration

To me that's broken

I stopped playing almost two years ago, someone reminded me about /lockstyle, I want to play a game not code one so I'll just use windower for distance and the better graphics than if I used ffxi windowed mode. Thanks though

[Trumpy]

Lockstyle is amazing. i still use the blinkmenot features of Dressup though. But I also dual box and it helps with mule followin and some blinking like if i change weapon mid fight that lockstyle doesnt keep you from blinking. but the modifyin the settings file is literally not coding. you open the settings file in the data folder of that addon (via notepad or notepad++) and change falses to true and vice versa save and load the addon. its not even complex. This is the entirety of the settings file (some settings files are even less than this). just alter the parts in the blinking. Also dressup helps cause there are still assholes out there who dont use lockstyle and they will be blinkin like a christmas tree if you are ever a job that might have to target anything during battle like WHM for example.
