Windower 4 - Discussion and Support

About the freezing on shutdown, you can use //terminate to kill the process directly. That way you can avoid both a crash and a freeze. It's a ghetto-solution, but a very slick one, and makes the whole freezing thing somewhat of a non-issue.

hello,

I haven't read the entire thread, sorry. My W4 crashes every time I log off, on two different computers. I log off almost every night. and when I do a shutdown, it just gives me a black screen and says it is non responsive.

Also, is there a way to move the times in the top center of the screen? info bar (I think) covers them up most of the time.

Thanks in advance.

Game crashing on shutdown is a known issue, but low priority to fix since it doesn't affect your gameplay.
Not sure which timers you mean, but yes, it is possible to move a lot of things displaying extra timers on your screen. You need to be more specific.

i mean the actual time, at the top center of the screen, showing the different timezones.

Thanks for the info on terminate, will try tonight. does it save your macros and map markers etc?

I have no idea what that is. The Clock plugin maybe? If so, there is a Clock.ini file you can edit in the Windower/plugins folder.

No. It's the same as killing the process in the task manager. You can save macros by pressing (Ctrl or Alt)+(Up or Down).

Was wondering if this was a filtering issue on my part. Whenever I have battlemod loaded ffxiah and bazaar GW commands will get partially filtered by it. Namely the ffxiah > item(count) header and the "Found xxx items for xxx." messages, as well as some help text as far as I'm aware. Wonder if there's anything I can do to fix this?

Sorry, I made a thread about this problem on the guildwork forums a few days ago and it hasn't gotten a reply yet: http://guildwork.com/forum/threads/5...cation-channel

[Asura_Zilla]

Oh! Thank for the reply anyways. Love the plugin, very useful

Stan handles the color input in his python exe that runs in the background.

battlemod having two weird problems, one where it shows the mob as me and me as the mob for certain stuff (only seen in salvage)



and another where it messes up sometimes on BRD songs or Accession buffs



Also it just plain doesn't show my counter damage anymore but that may be a filter error, not sure yet

[Saiken]

Using Motenten SC's and i believe Battlemod* is blocking the echo for TH mode etc stuff like that. this intended or a way to remedy it please?

sorry not silence battlemod*

[Byrthnoth]

That's battlemod, change your
<addtochat></addtochat>
to <addtochat color="121"></addtochat>

I'll look in to the Erase thing too. When was the last time you logged out and back in?

[Tymon]

Today. It was doing it last night too, both in salvage and both the last two times I've played

[Taim Meich]

Just installed battlemod today (super-awesome, btw, thanks Byrth!), and I got similar bugs:

Spoiler: show

The BLU told me he was getting the same errors, too.

Hope this helps!

[Tymon]

not just erase:

[Byrthnoth]

Well, at least it's consistent. I must not be replacing ${target} in one of my add_to_chat commands. That shouldn't take long to fix tonight. Heading home!

[Radec]

It's almost certainly the no-effect message based on some of the times it's happened to me today.

[grevenilvec75]

Any particular reason why Mouse_blockinput is turned on every time i start ffxi? If no, then is there some way to turn it off before init.txt?

[Spira]

Go to plugins>settings>timers.xml

scroll down and go to where it says


<enableBuffs>true/enableBuffs>

Change to false

Thanks! i was trying to get rid of it too.
couldn't change the limit of buffs to 0, only 1..

another thing tho. on running w4 how do i get to the plugin settings thing and not automatically run POL?

If you run the original launcher, you should get the menus to select stuff. You had an option when creating your profile settings to create a "direct launcher" that bypasses that menu by clicking the pin to desktop button at the bottom.

Fixed a lot of problems with Battlemod. Some remain open:

I may have fixed the pet one. I'd appreciate it if someone could please let me know if it still shows up.
