Windower 4 - Discussion and Support

[Taint]

Here is my treasury file for VW if anyone wants it. It is not 100%, some items are left off on purpose, some I just haven't added yet but its solid. I plan on organizing it at a later date:

Make this a .txt file and put into your scripts folder. //exec textfilename.txt

It will load all these items into treasury and auto drop them.

You don't need to use input with those treasury commands; any Windower commands, addon/plugin commands, and even aliases can be put as is in a script and they will work.

For ex: tr drop add Firaja instead of input \/\/tr drop add Firaja.

i dont dual box so i have never experienced that

how ever you could load one char at a time and set up exactly what you want then restart and load all your chars
how ever you could not change any settings after your dual boxing

The other problem is I dont even have to change anything, it sometimes just will overwrite stuff all by its self. For example, I with timers. I have just <global> in the settings file. but occasionally it will make its own <charactername> setting and set it to the defaults. then it will somehow translate that into the <global> setting. I generally have to unload it on both characters then go into the file and manually return it to how i want it. then reload it on both. Same thing with treasury (or any addon/plugin that uses that dynamic.)

Ive tried the one character at a time thing as well. I worked like an hour putting all the items i wanted on one character. saved it. then unloaded it and loaded on the other character then within a few items or even on load a couple times it erased everything i had for the first character. I have also tried in plugins/addons that work like this, to duplicate the same settings for all characters and hope it wont automatically change it to defaults, and some how it will start being wonky and alter one by itself to defaults. But like i said in my previous post luckily this hasnt really happened in a while with timers in particular. Zonetimers doesnt seem to have a settings file but occasionally it or clock will reset it self and start displaying in the center. I like them to the far left top next to each other.

This was like forever ago though so maybe some update fixed it. Since light luggage worked for me perfectly, and i could load separate files for each character (even if i have to use autoexec or gearswap to do it), and because this dealt with item drops i dont want to accidently drop/lose or assume its working and lose the item when it drops to a mule cause i forgot to check it was working; i just havent used it.

Sometimes when I zone, often into an Escha zone, I get the error message:

Remember: Lua runtime error: ... Files (x86)/Windower4//addons/remember/remember.lua

Anyone know what causes that?

[Nyarlko]

I think you can disable the Remember addon since the issue it addressed (npcs not spawning when you zoned in) has been fixed for the most part.

[Fwahm]

So, I had to format my computer and reinstall everything, but when I boot up Windower and go into FFXI, it crashes with a "Windower Launcher has stopped working." error message.

However, it only does that if I pick a non-default profile; if I pick the standard one, it goes through just fine. Any ideas?

[Sechs]

Is it possible to read through packets how many shadows/steps you have exactely? I think it should be easily readable, it's gotta be a data present somewhere.
The icons do not go past "4+" and "5+" but the exact number has got to be present somewhere.
Wouldn't it be possible to have an addon that reads this information and displays it as a number somewhere on screen?

[Sechs]

Bump! Anybody knows?

[dlsmd]

Bump! Anybody knows?

as far as i know it's server side besides what we can see
for Copy Image it is 4
for Finishing Move it is 6

yes you could create an addon that counts this for you but as i said as far as i know no packet holds any data over the above
-you would need to manually count them

[Sechs]

Let me use Utsusemi as an example.
Oversimplified scheme, I imagined it to be something like this:

1 Shadow ==> Icon "1"
2 Shadows => Icon "2"
3 Shadows => Icon "3"
4 Shadows => Icon "4+"
5 Shadows => Icon "4+"
6 Shadows => Icon "4+"
7 Shadows => Icon "4+"

That is to say, I imagined the status to exist and that the only thing lacking was a corresponding icon because they couldn't be bothered to make one.
Instead you're telling me it's something like:

1 Shadow ==> Icon "1"
2 Shadows => Icon "2"
3 Shadows => Icon "3"
4+ Shadows => Icon "4+"

That is to say: the game client cannot tell how many shadows there are more than 4 because there is no status corresponding to that and it's a server-side-exclusive calculation.
Is that what you're trying to tell me?
I find that strange but... it might as well be.
Shame though, would be so neat to have an exact number for Shadows and Steps.

[Byrthnoth]

It could have been implemented in many ways, but they chose to pass you an ID for the icon instead of the number of shadows you have. If the Icon doesn't change then, the ID doesn't change.

This is in contrast to songs, where they replicated the same icon multiple times in the .dats. In that case, the Icon ID changes (and consequently we can .dat swap it).

Is FrameRateDivisor in Config broken? It doesn't seem to do anything, FPS display still says 29.2fps when it's set to 1 or 0.

[Sholin]

Is FrameRateDivisor in Config broken? It doesn't seem to do anything, FPS display still says 29.2fps when it's set to 1 or 0.

Works fine here, is config actually loaded? And are you actually writing it as "FrameRateDivisor", it's case sensitive.

[Sechs]

Is there a way to combine Binder's syntax with normal keyboard keys during an alias binding?

let's say I want to use ALT or CTRL and g19_m1g1. The following syntax isn't working. It ignores the "^" and the "!" I put in front of it
==> alias ^g19_m1g1 input /ja something <t>

[Atomic Skull]

Works fine here, is config actually loaded? And are you actually writing it as "FrameRateDivisor", it's case sensitive.

Yes, I also tried editing the XML file directly. The increased draw distance works so I know it's loaded. But for some reason the framerate divisor doesn't seem to do anything.

[Trumpy]

isnt 0 unlimited fps on config? so 1 would be 60 i think then 2 30. Its been a while since i messed with it

[Atomic Skull]

Yep, and they don't do anything according to Windower's FPS counter, it stays at 29.2fps regardless of what you set it at.

[Trumpy]

ahh so his test wont actually test it then. I usually look at a mithra's tail and see how smoothly it moves

[Fwahm]

Can GMs directly detect windower commands that you type directly into the chat if they look, or see when packets are sent improperly, such as in the temps addon?

[Byrthnoth]

They can't see commands and likely can't see the kind of improper packets you're talking about.

If SE cared to catch people, they'd hire someone to look at our addons and write scripts to detect them, though. It wouldn't be a GM.
