I'm pretty sure its just normal autoset triggering on NPCs now. Before (and probably still), if you were talking to an NPC autoset would count you as zoning (i may have this wrong, been a while since i've looked at it). And now when you come out of the dialogue it just switches you back to Idle and your autoset idle command kicks in.

If it matters, it happens to me too.

turn gearswaps on or debug and check those logs. Also, while you're talking to an NPC type /echo %status and see if it says zoning (or something besides idle)

Thats what I did, didn't do it.

deleted abilities and spells and that didn't work. Logged out and back in after deleting the icons folder and that didn't work.

At this point, delete everything related to Timers and redownload it from the plugin menu in the launcher. You should have only had to rerun the launcher to download the new components and .dll automagically and then reloaded Timers in game.

Well its definitely new...this never used to happen. I'm locked on a maw, and the status is event.

Yea just tried that and it worked, thanks!

Where could we leave feedback on certain plugins? I honestly like the defeault graphical mode of Timers, but the only problem holding it back is it doesnt have the grayed out background where the text is displayed. Fixing that will solve issues of making spell names hard to read.

**Suljin** · 2013-04-02 00:12

And dissapointed lol, totally thought the timers update gave geo icons

sad day. Is there a windower 4 update that adds the UI icons for statuses? I'm tired of seeing 10 red sword icons representing a million buffs lol.

The status name was changed from "Zoning" to "Event". I feel vaguely responsible, because I complained incessantly about it not making any sense, because it's not related to zoning in any way, but instead happens whenever you're locked on to an NPC (although I'm told it doesn't always happen in NPC convos, but the only times I've found it not happening was when you could move while interacting with an NPC, such as when browsing the AH or a vendor's item list). It should probably have been announced somewhere, though, as it may fuck with some people's code.

When I log out tonight I'll have to unload logger and leave StatusTimer up and see what happens.

StatusTimer loaded, Logger unloaded; crashed on /shutdown. StatusTimer unloaded, no crash on /shutdown.

In my situation, at least, StatusTimer is causing the crashing on /shutdown.

Today's update fixed 'Karieyh brayette' to 'Karieyh Brayettes', breaking my gearswaps, but fixing my spellcast XML doesn't fix it, so likely needs a resources update.

Edit: Managed to fix it in resources\items_armour.xml, but fully expect Win4 to do what it does best and reset it when I restart.

Got this addon on the windower4 github after some bugfixes and such. Here is the githug link as well as images to refresh your memory of what i mean:

So I apologize if this has been answered but I've noticed some problems with Attainment, mainly when I'm in Abyssea it doesn't pick up on lights I gain or on Time Remaining.

The only thing I can think of is that I'm running aoebgone and this might be affecting the chat logs??

Any input would be appreciated

**sfchakan** · 2013-04-02 18:39

It's not related to aoeBGone. I have the same issue without any lua addons loaded.

**chichicha** · 2013-04-03 02:26

Sorry, to question again.

Silence doesn't work for Windower 4 used in XP64?

Can you elaborate as to what you mean by "doesn't work"? Specifically, does it not work at all, or are you concerned that you're not seeing anything displayed in your log when it does?

**chichicha** · 2013-04-03 02:37

When POL launches game, error message plug-ins not found. I make sure the Silence.dll is there.

In Window 7, with Windower 4, Silence works nicely, not showing the text "Equipment...".
I got 2 Window System here, one Window 7 64bit, another is XP 64bit. Both running same Windower 4.

While you at this case, I might want to raise another ><;
For both window system, occasionally zoning crashed POL. It just window pop up - "Close Programme..." message". Have to wait at least a minute or 2 to login the same character. Not sure this is Windower4 or SE server.

Also...
Window XP 64 - WIndower 4, Light Luggage loaded, but during gaming, either items dropped to my bag, or anything doing with items, occasionally fatal error on LL, and unloaded. Game does not crashed.
This happened the same to Chatmon.

I know some ppl will say - Get your XP to 7. ><; I have reason to stay XP... this PC some parts has no drivers for Win7 :/

I find this hard to believe, but I guess you might have some ultra rare and weird parts

**orinthia** · 2013-04-03 04:04

If it has vista drivers, you can use those for win7. Would have to be over 6 years old to not have vista drivers.

...It's over 6 years old isn't it?

How can I know what is related to Timers and should be deleted, and what is not?

**Sechs** · 2013-04-03 13:47

Since a while ago Windower 4 downloads hook.dll, but when I close it and reopen it tries again, and again, and again.
Is it ok? Appearently it completes the download, but when you start it anew it repeats the download again, so I guess something is not working.
