Windower 4 - Discussion and Support

[noodles355]

Yeah I checked after I posted that, logging in again. Infobar is the one after, so it's probably that.

(Man, I never appreciated the difficulty of typing a simple sentence not using the letter w (my keyboard just broke like 1hr ago ._.))

I had my spacebar break a long time ago.

Itsprettyamusingtypinglikethis.

I eventually just copied a space and pasted it in whenever I needed to type a space.

Posting this here and blue mage thread:

Released azureSets addon (Automated Blue magic spell setting). You can save your spell sets via //aset save (setname) and equip sets via //aset spellset (setname). Please alert me to any issues.

Edit: I kinda posted this prematurely. You must all now wait for luacore update. I apologize. I forgot aureus had made one for me to test. I assume it won't be long

edit2: The Luacore update was pushed. Enjoy.

Yep. Navigate to your main drive letter / programsx86 / windower4 / scripts, folder. Look for the text file called "init" and open it up in notepad. Not far from the top there's a line saying "game_allowsetcursorpos". Having a 0 after that line indicates it is off, having a 1 indicates it is on. If you want the cursor to snap to the active window then change it to 1 to be on. Save the file and close it.

was away for a bit so i just saw this now... THANK YOU!

Anyone got problem with Send Addon not working again after patch Hook to 4.0.0.31?

[Obsidian]

What happened to BuffDuration? It stopped autoloading for me and I realized it's because it's not even in the addons tab anymore.

[Sechs]

Ehr... use Timers? Buffduration was a temporary solution while they were working on the Yarnball part of Timers, wasn't it?

It's been discontinued due to Timers.

Send was also broken for me, but it seems it's not Hook.dll, it's LuaCore.dll. Send worked again for me after reverting to LuaCore 1.0.4.4 (leaving Hook 4.0.0.31 in place).

Reverting plugins like LuaCore is tricky since the launcher has to restart plugins in all running instances when it updates them. I created a separate copy of the Windower directory in order to get two reverted instances running, although there may be easier ways.

I was under the impression that BuffDuration was better because it counted duration augmentations, such as the RDM AF3 set bonus. Does Timers do that now too?

[Byrthnoth]

Yes

[Fake]

Is send broken again with new hook? Its working only if you send to the character you're on.

If it is there really should be an archive folder within the directory for the last known working instances of every plugin and hook, this isn't the first or even second time this has happened recently.

Agreed

Send broken again? Sigh, but hey, this is a beta, so it's to be expected.

Can anyone upload the older luacore or whatever that broke this time?

[StatikGP]

Not sure what plugin it is. i think PETTP? but I can no longer see my pets Health Meter and TP in the left side of my screen. I have to Target my pet just to see his health percent.. this randomly stopped working for me yesterday.... Anyone else notice this?

Its absolutely to be expected, progress isn't a straight line. Thats not an excuse for not providing tried and tested legacy options with potentially unstable/not fully functional releases.

[Aureus]

Isn't that what 3.4 is? A tried and tested legacy option while the unstable 4.0 is being worked on.

[Fake]

If 3.4 had all the lua stuff then yes, thats exactly what it would be.

I understand this is a small community project and not apple, things will get broken occasion.

All thats being asked for is the previous of each plugin/hook to be in an convinient place for when these things happen. Its pragmatic for a project that isn't going to be extensively bug tested before each revision is released.

It's possible, but let's be realistic here. We'd need to
a) start maintaining a versioned list of all plugins and hook
b) figure out what versions are compatible with what...it's not quite as simple as pick-and-match, hook and lua updates have, can and will continue to be not backwards compatible.
c) devise and implement a system to allow launcher to rollback to previous versions
d) somehow still allow updating when new updates are pushed.

That's a non-trivial amount of effort. Now, would you rather a couple weeks of time go into trying to fix the issues, or into a workaround for the issues? I know what I'd pick.

[Fake]

Obviously I'd rather every release works perfectly, but thats not realistic either.

Unless the beta is some where near its end and the hook/lua updates will slow down significantly soon then some provision would be better, even if its just downloadable from the windower website with a check on the update process to minimise the implementation efforts.
