Windower 4 - Discussion and Support

[Taim Meich]

Okay, Timers:

- I'd like an option to allow/disallow what buffs can show. For example, I don't want to see my recast time for my 1h, nor I want to see the remaining time of most (if not all) of my buffs, since StatusTimers already takes care of that. What's more, there's certain buffs to other party members that I may not necessarily want to know the remaining time, I'd like to edit out those, too.

Since this isn't a bug but a suggestion, I'm not using github, but I will if you guys tell me that's for suggestions too.

Thanks, and keep up the good work!

You can make suggestions in the issues section, windower 4 devs have repeatedly said they likely won't see the bulk of whats posted in this thread.

[Sechs]

I already made that suggestion on windower forums, but they are so busy I bet it's hard for them to track feedback coming from outside github.
Imho the best and easiest way to handle what you want to track and what you don't want to track would be with two simple fields. Two for the Recast part, two for the tracking part.

<listmode>Blacklist/Whitelist</listmode>
<list>spell1|spell2|spell3|*spell4|spell5*</list>

In the second field you put a list of stuff, in the first field you tell the software wether you want that to be a blacklist or a whitelist.

If you had timers before you need to copy your old setting file and delete it in the settings folder then rerun windower. This will create a new timers.xml that will have all the new settings in it, just change stuff around like you want and then the new setting you want is called enableBuffs, set that to false and it will disable yarnball as far as I can tell.

This is what I have -

<global>
<graphicalMode>false</graphicalMode>
<slimMode>true</slimMode>
<flashOnCompletion>true</flashOnCompletion>
<showTenths>true</showTenths>
<highRed>255</highRed>
<highGreen>0</highGreen>
<highBlue>0</highBlue>
<medRed>255</medRed>
<medGreen>160</medGreen>
<medBlue>0</medBlue>
<lowRed>0</lowRed>
<lowGreen>255</lowGreen>
<lowBlue>0</lowBlue>
<textA>255</textA>
<textR>255</textR>
<textG>255</textG>
<textB>255</textB>
<flashR>255</flashR>
<flashG>255</flashG>
<flashB>0</flashB>
<fontName>Arial</fontName>
<fontSize>8</fontSize>
<fontBold>false</fontBold>
<recastX>20</recastX>
<recastY>200</recastY>
<buffsX>190</buffsX>
<buffsY>350</buffsY>
<customX>360</customX>
<customY>350</customY>
<barSpacing>0</barSpacing>
<recastTimerLimit>8</recastTimerLimit>
<buffsTimerLimit>8</buffsTimerLimit>
<customTimerLimit>8</customTimerLimit>
</global>

But, I don't see the option to turn off the Buff Duration.. it's more like multi line of texts repeated on Icon (Status Timer).

Any help? I just want to turn it off... too many texts show on the screen, doesn't really enjoy that ><;

You're missing:

		<debugMode>true</debugMode>
		<enableRecast>true</enableRecast>
		<enableBuffs>true</enableBuffs>

After the global in the beginning. Should be self-explanatory.

[chichicha]

Thanks! fixed !

[Division3]

Quick question on Buffduration as well, is there a way to change the font color on the text?

I see this, but nothing in reference to color.

<fontName>Arial</fontName>
<fontSize>8</fontSize>
<fontBold>false</fontBold>

Yeah you have the settings file from before the update, remove that whole file from the settings folder and then restart the windower launcher and it will automatically be replaced with the new timers.xml file. This new one will contain the <enableBuffs>true</enableBuffs> tag. Change that to false and you should be good to go. Alternatively you may be able to just add that toggle to your current timers.xml but I'm not sure if that will work.

Any idea when Windower 4 is gonna be updated to support Windows 8?

Byrth - Battlemod question from a friend of mine:

"In this version, when you check an enemy, it says "seems like level xx." It no longer indicates if something is too weak, easy prey, decent challenge, etc. It's nice to see the level, but the rating is important too. Is there a way to add this information to the line, like "seems like level 33. (TW)" or something along those lines?

Doing it via color coding would work too."



Thoughts?

[Byrthnoth]

Sure. I actually have that in battlemod and just haven't implemented it yet. I'll put it in now.

Edit: I am pretty sure that it worked. LMK if it didn't!

[Suteru]

How do you add custom timers to er.. Timers?

It seems like no one bothered testing Phantom Roll, so there's no timer for them.

No one tested Phantom Roll because its a JA, and JA's havent been added yet.

Also, Silence should be fixed for people that were having issues.

Would you mind posting it then? 'cause even with the most recent version and doing everything posted on the forums, it crashes soon as PlayOnline is trying to start FFXI, and this is with all plugins unloaded. And I'm not the only one with that problem.

For example:
https://github.com/Windower/Issues/issues/136
https://github.com/Windower/Issues/issues/173
http://forums.windower.net/topic/220...-pol-and-ffxi/

If you have a fix I'd love to know it.

Hi all D:

Sorry I completely missed you guys on my rounds yesterday.

Timers with Magic Yarnball and bitty JA Yarnball is now available. All spells should be handled and the durations returned should be perfect to within a second, unless you zone, still aren't handling zoning yet, or if they require merits (Phalanx II springs to mind). Any spells that are returning wrong values, let me know. You can enable/disable it (enabled by default) by adding <enableBuffs>false|true</enableBuffs> into your settings xml. It also has somewhat support for other languages although Japanese mode is apparently not working as intended, so I'll be removing that soon...

Spellcast has been updated to fix the small issue with Idle sets being triggered when talking to NPCs.

Silence has potentially been fixed for those who were unable to load it.

Sorry I don't appear much on here, this thread explodes so quick and I always forget to drop in. As a few people have said, if you have bugs/requests, please hit up our tracker. https://github.com/Windower/Issues/wiki/Posting-issues

Also, I will be adding filters to Timers, they're on the list of things to do. I will probably get those working before JA yarnball.

[TacoTaru]

Run launcher and report back if the Event issue on spellcast is fixed for 4.0 people please.

Talking to NPCs is fixed, still crashing on zoning. I'm not sure if that was part of the event thing or not.

[Buffy]

I personally think the crash on zone thing is related to do blinkmenot, but I've done precisely -0- troubleshooting since it happens so rarely to me (maybe once every couple days).

[TacoTaru]

Happened to my wife several times doing her pixie trials and she doesn't have BMN loaded by default. If I don't open a menu and then tele it will crash 100% of the time which I'm assuming means it's related to gear swapping/spellcast. I've been meaning to set a Blankset for all teleport/recalls, but I've been lazy about it.

[Saiken]

sup with battlemod allowing everything through now? was just fine yesterday now i see everyones crap regardless of which filters on/off ingame. . .

disregard! pls.
