Well if i combined the codes correctly for the mount addon it didnt work.

Got error "mountup: lua runtime error: attempt to call a string value attempt to call a string value." It doesnt give a line of the error or anything. See I dont even get the basics of coding lol.

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.

Windows is having no part of letting me save in that file, its my laptop, i'm the registered owner of the damn thing, but I don't have permission, lol I so miss xp

oops you give to set permissions in each file in programs 86, ok gonna test this out

Ok did everything the opposite of what was there, and tried no joy. copied and pasted yours still blinking, I'm just gonna have to go with what works. Thanks for trying though

As I said just do this

Code:

return math.max(1, mountarray[math.ceil(math.random(0,#mountarray))])

It's much cleaner code.

You need to disable UAC or open the file as administrator. I don't play anymore, so I can't say if dressup works or not, but i have a good feeling this is user error.

What did I do wrong in my mount up code i posted earlier? Can someone show me how to fix it or just post full workin code?

if this is your code

Code:

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

it will not trigger because you have not told it to yet
do you want it to trigger UseMount() by command or automatically??

**Trumpy** · 2016-06-15 02:59

I just want the addon to summon a random mount when I issue a command. I didnt know how to make an addon command and looking at a couple other addons They seemed to have a command as a function. but it didnt work for me obviously. Something like "//MountUp mount" or "//mu m" or whatever witty command name people can come up with works for me. Maybe with Geno's "cleaner" code he supplied above.

like this

Code:

_addon.name = 'MountUp'
_addon.version = '1.00'
_addon.author = 'Whoever (Shiva)'
_addon.commands = {'mu','mountup'}

require 'luau'
mountarray = T{} -- mount table

function random_mount() --randomly selects mount
    local select_mount = 0
    while select_mount < 1 do
        select_mount = math.ceil(math.random(0,#mountarray))]
    end
    return mountarray[select_mount]
end
function build_mount_table()--builds mount list
`   mountarray:clear()
    local key_items = windower.ffxi.get_key_items()
    if key_items:contains(3055) then
        mountarray:append("Chocobo")
    end
    if key_items:contains(3072) then
        mountarray:append("Chocobo")
    end
    if key_items:contains(3073) then
        mountarray:append("Raptor")
    end
    if key_items:contains(3074) then
        mountarray:append("Tiger")
    end
    if key_items:contains(3075) then
        mountarray:append("Crab")
    end
    if key_items:contains(3076) then
        mountarray:append("Red crab")
    end
end
function UseMount() --main function
    build_mount_table()
    if #mountarray >= 1 then --varifies you have at lest one mount
        windower.send_command('input /mount "'..random_mount()..'"')
    end
end
windower.register_event('addon command', function(command)
    if command == "mount" or command == "m" then
        UseMount()
    end
end)

this should work

**Raelia** · 2016-06-15 14:04

That looks like you have to do "//mu mount". Can't invoke with just //mu?

**dlsmd** · 2016-06-15 14:52

he asked for "//MountUp mount" or "//mu m"
you never want to trigger something with just the"//<shortcut|name>" you always want a command like "//<shortcut|name> <command>" for error pickup
its actually
"//MountUp mount" or "//MountUp m" or "//mu mount" "//mu m" or "//mountup mount" "//mountup m"
--i updated my previous code to reflect this

**Raelia** · 2016-06-15 19:06

Yes, but can it be done that way, because idgaf?

Most of the plugins have fallbacks like that which usually report syntax. I fail to see the difference.

**Trumpy** · 2016-06-15 19:14

OK
Dlsnd, Im gettin the same error as when i tried my code.

"MountUP: Lua runtime error: attempt to call a string value attempt to call a string value"

force windower to update by deleting the update folder

**RalphTheDwarf** · 2016-06-15 23:27

Windower seems to have started crashing when I load media heavy websites in Firefox. Any ideas what could be up with that?

**Trumpy** · 2016-06-16 00:55

After deleting that updates folder, Gearswap started goin nuts even on mules with no gearswaps. So i just unloaded it and went to git hub and dowloaded every file and it seems to be workin alright. Funny even though the addon.xml file gets downloaded it still wont show new official addons up to the ones i already have previously. stupid XP and its issues.

OK Now back to the issue dlsmd, after deleting updates folder and having it download the new stuffs, i still get that error. Did you try it on your game if it works (are you playing currently)?

i does not really mater right now because the key items list is missing the mounts key items(i put in an error to windower)
how ever this code works but only for Chocobo for the above reason

Code:

_addon.name = 'MountUp'
_addon.version = '1.00'
_addon.author = 'Whoever (Shiva)'
_addon.commands = {'mu','mountup'}

require 'luau'
mountarray = T{} -- mount table

function random_mount() --randomly selects mount
    local select_mount = 0
    while select_mount < 1 do
        select_mount = math.ceil(math.random(0,#mountarray))
    end
    return mountarray[select_mount]
end
function build_mount_table()--builds mount list
    mountarray:clear()
    local key_items = windower.ffxi.get_key_items()
    for _, v in ipairs(key_items) do
        if v == 3072 then
            mountarray:append("Chocobo")
        elseif v == 3073 then
            mountarray:append("Raptor")
        elseif v == 3074 then
            mountarray:append("Tiger")
        elseif v == 3075 then
            mountarray:append("Crab")
        elseif v == 3076 then
            mountarray:append("Red crab")
        end
    end
end
function UseMount() --main function
    build_mount_table()
    if #mountarray >= 1 then --varifies you have at lest one mount
        windower.send_command('input /mount "'..random_mount()..'"')
    end
end
windower.register_event('addon command', function(command)
    if command == "mount" or command == "m" then
        UseMount()
    end
end)

Anybody having small issues with Findall?

If I'm on char1 and I do //findall it works overall pretty fine for char1 and char2, but sometimes it doesn't see some items that are rightfully into one of char2's repositories.
Yet if I log on char2 and do a //find it sees the item just fine.

It only happens for a bunch of items, I don't see a pattern and I've been having this issue for the past few months.
Unless I'm wrong I think I already tried to delete and rebuild the database but no change.

Anybody else noticing this issue with //findall?

**Byrthnoth** · 2016-06-16 02:27

It is a change caused by the multi-loading item inventory.

FindAll uses a packet that I think we named "Inventory Finish" to determine when your inventory is loaded. Until that packet is received, it will not update the common inventory file that it searches when you use a //findall command, and thus you won't end up updating the file with a partial inventory when rapidly logging in/out for login points. However, now that packet gets sent multiple times when your separate inventories finish, so it's no longer a good way to tell whether you've finished loading your inventory and FindAll now sometimes pushes out half inventories to the file (and thus you can't find items that are in the other half of the inventory).

Someone just needs to make a more robust way to determine whether your inventory has loaded. If it's not done in a month or so I'll probably do it.

**Sechs** · 2016-06-16 02:52

Alright Byrth, thanks for clarifying it.
Not a big deal, just wanted to know if it was a fault in my local configuration or in the addon itself
