Windower 4 - Discussion and Support

[remdynex]

TimeStamp Format [%I:%M:%S%p] is what I use. You can even force the date into it, but it gets huge and causes issues with the log.

Thanks for the response Subadai and Obsidian

I found an issue with Windower 4 (presumably it's a spellcast issue?) and the Blood Pact Ward ability "Sleepga" from Shiva.
I get an error like I was trying to cast the Sleepga spell, which I don't have being a SMN/RDM.

[Buffy]

it involves a /raw command to fix I think, but not playing bst or smn, I don't know what it is.

That's a Spellcast issue, and it's been around forever. I don't remember offhand how to fix it though.

[Cairthenn]

Use the command "/raw /pet "sleepga" <t>" instead.

So I haven't played in like 6 months and now I got Windower 4.0 and all of my previous settings like where the recast plugins and everything go. It was in my old init which I deleted like a moron but I can't remember how I did it off the top of my head.


Game also crashes every time I /shutdown. I remember I had something along the lines of alias gtfo = unloadall /wait 2 /shutdown for the old windower but I can't figure it out. PS I suck at coding and shit so this stuff is not my forte. When I changed all my recast positions and stuff I used windower wiki which doesn't really apply anymore (?).

Also do you have to restart the client for addons to go away? Like, can you unload, say, scoreboard when you aren't fighting? Or the commands to clear the log?

edit: so I just manually unloadall'd and shutdown and it still froze and crashed. Must be an addon causing it?

[Cairthenn]

Windower 4 just has issues with logging out afaik.

Recast is now Timers, and most new plugins have a settings XML in the Windower/plugins/settings/ folder.

//lua unload <name>
or in short
//lua u <name>

The correct form for that alias would be alias gtfo unloadall; wait 2; input /shutdown but yeah, I still crash once in a while with it. Hopefully I can get around to submitting a crash dump soon.

How do I move BuffDuration? It's in a really weird sport and I can't find a settings in the folder.

buffduration uses timers' (the windower plugin) custom timers to do what it does. and to answer your question in plugins/settings/timers.xml you change the following

<global>
.........
		<recastX>976</recastX>
		<recastY>50</recastY>
		<buffsX>190</buffsX>           <------------Not This
		<buffsY>350</buffsY>           <-------------Not This
		<customX>798</customX>   <--------------This
		<customY>50</customY>      <--------------This
		<barSpacing>0</barSpacing>
		<debugMode>false</debugMode>
	</global>

Not working.

[Maurauc]

Not working.

Change the settings in the file, then write: "reload timers" (without quotes) in the console. Make sure it's the customX/Y you're editing. Buffsx/y aren't used yet.

Still not working. Should I just redownload Buffduration and Timers again?

Has anyone else had problems with League of Legends and XI-Utils ? If i don't have sandboxed instances setup, i can run LoL alright, and even alt+tab between games etc. But since i 2-3-4 box sometimes, I really always use XI-utils. League runs fine, until you get into the actual instance of the game where it loads the match. I'm not sure how it all works but whatever occurs causes all my instances of Windower (v4 or v3.4*) to crash.

Anyone else experience this? is a fix even possible? or just say fuck it and log out etc. when i wanna play league?

[Sechs]

Use the command "/raw /pet "sleepga" <t>" instead.

Will try, but the question is: why was my macro (that I didn't change at all) working with Windower 3.43 and why isn't it working with Windower 4? I used spellcastlite on both windowers (i.e. spellcast loaded, but no xml for SMN)

To my knowledge, the most recent version of SpellCast is not the one they ported to 4.0, because Yekyaa (who maintained the 3.4 version) disappeared and didn't leave behind the source he was working on. And he added a lot of pet related things, such as differentiating the Sleepgas by job (same for similar abilities).

Run League as Borderless Fullscreen, any time something full screens it will generally kill XI. If you get the "League opens in the corner" problem, CTRL + SHIFT+ ESC, right click league, maximize.

[Raelia]

Maybe you did an override in 3.4 instead of using /raw which didn't carry over.

Yeah, borderless fullscreen is what you want for anything running at the same time as XI. Most programs will even still blip the res to something else and crash FFXI even if you have them set to exactly the same resolution you're already at.

[Squah]

I got everything working properly, but now my cursor is completely offcenter? About 15% of the bottom and right side of my screen is panning the camera when it shouldn't. Screen resolution is 1920x1200 and windower boots it in the same resolution as well. Any ideas?

EXTRA EDIT I think I found the problem, menu resolution is set to something wacky like 1350x871 in the registry, and when I change it it gets overwritten when I reboot POL from windower. Didn't think menu resolution meant where the pan function begins to take effect, but that has to be the issue, no?
