Windower 4 - Discussion and Support

[chichicha]

You buy me one, I don't get government benefits for being unemployed in a foreign country ;;

Fuck QLD there's like no jobs ;;

Did you turn of "Super Sampling" ?

[grevenilvec75]

"half of the time" is a huge exageration and the following comment is particularly bitter and ungrateful towards someone who poured hours of hard work for free, for the enjoyment of everybody.
You're behaving like you're a paying customer of something and are demanding your customer rights to be fulfilled.

I haven't had the "all screen box" issue for quite some time and my Nightingale works just fine.
I do occasionaly get the blank line though. While not insanely rare, it's definitely nowhere close "half of the times" though.

I appreciate the effort put into it, and once the bugs get fixed I will gladly use it, because its an awesome idea, but until then all i'm asking for is someone to port old recast to w4.

I would gladly donate to the development fund if there was a paypal link.

Half the time is not a huge exaggeration. The ~3 hours i was playing last night there was almost always a line missing on mine.

I'm glad its working fine for you, but for me its not.

You can change setting to remove the bars and background, with just text showing as Recast.

Mine is set that way and it still happens.

As far as making different profiles for different jobs, I think it should be possible and wouldn't be that hard, but it would make the filters file even huge-r.

Couldn't you create an event_job_change() function to load a different filters file that is job specific? Something along the lines of filters_WAR.xml.

[Byrthnoth]

ah, yes I could. That would split it up into separate files at least.

Also, tonight I hope to finish whatever filter-change I'm going to make and get Retaliations/Counters/Spikes working and tested. I'll probably put this on the launcher tomorrow and confuse the shit out of everyone that was using the old battlemod.

My windower has started to instantly crash after finishing the POL and right before FFXI opens, before windower 4 was working perfectly outside of crashing on shutdown, any idea what I should do to fix it?

[Esvedium]

You could add them to your init.txt in whichever order, and turn them "off" in the new windower plugin page thing.

But yeah your method is probably best over all.

The problem with turning them off in the plugin section of the launcher is I don't think they look for updates if they're off. Ihm (or anyone else) can correct me if I'm wrong, though.

For now, it works for me, so I don't care too much about it.

One more thing noticed: Treasure Hunter upgrades show up as "Add. Eff. 4 -> Enemy_Name" etc. Not the end of the world etc, but it was making me confused where does that enspell come from.

Edit: PLD tanking with ice spikes shows in chatlog as:
Enemy's spikes deal 7 points of damage to Player.

[Byrthnoth]

Okay, that is fixed now. I have been updating it throughout the day and the most recent version is in my dropbox now.

There's a chance the new version is going to cause explosions and death everywhere when you do things that I can't do through TeamViewer, but I don't think it will.

So a lua script that used to work to automatically pick which Jump to use based on my wyvern status is now giving me an error I don't understand : "attempt to call global 'get_mob_by_target_id' (a table value)." error.

I have no idea what this means.

[grevenilvec75]

Was it a script you wrote?

[Erlayn]

Just DL'd Win4 here. Played some last night with it. Runs great, but the buffs such as pro/shell/refresh are very annoying with the placement in the center of the screen. I looked in the files. Is there a place to change the location of them on the screen? Sorry for such a noobish quest, but I cannot seem to find it anywhere.

It's not one I downloaded, if that's what you meant. I had to get outside help to figure out how to check for pet status though, which is why I can't easily debug that statement.

Settings folder has the config files.

[Byrthnoth]

Replace all instances of target_id with index and it will work.

I found the settings folder. But I do not see an editable txt file. Am I missing something?

[Yugl]

Should be an XML file.

Danke.

I asked this over on the Windower forums, but got no response and there doesn't seem to be much talk going on over there about Lua scripting.

According to the Lua wiki for Windower 4, displaying images is done with prim_create and prim_set_visibility. However, there's awful little explanation on just what to do with these or where the path to the image comes into play. Is the image that I want to display considered the "texture" in prim_set_texture?

For reference, I am fairly comfortable with various scripting and programming languages, however I have never used Lua before.

So, I don't really know where else to put this, but I figure this is the best spot to do so:

Why does my client (on my laptop, I'm home from the dorms for the weekend) not show any player models...? At all? Nobody shows up. Windows 8 laptop, Desktop runs just fine with windows 7. Both running on their proper resolutions and shit with Windower 4.

Any ideas? Tried restarting FFXI client but still ghost people.

edit: ...enemies don't show up either, only the names


More edit: Turns out it's my graphics card in the laptop (Intel HD4000) and there is a posted fix which I'm about to install. Let you know how it goes.

[Himay]

I'd try logging in without windower first, and see if your tell chime comes back.

I finally got around to trying this. Tell chimes don't work without windower either :\
