You want blacklist mode to be true and then list everything you want to hide in like this, in windower4/plugins/settings/timers.xml

having issues with W4, not only do launcher and luacore take abt 5 min each to DL, once i'm able to actually enter the game, i get a really bad stuttering effect on my char, fps drop about 4-5 frames every 2 sec or so, any suggestions?

[Ithorien]

Anyone having issues opening two instances of W4? I get past the login screen only to time out trying to actually load into the game. No issues with single instance. Error code 3001, no response from server, connection timed out.

Another quickly-noted issue, before I forget:

Upon my logging onto a mule today (level 5 WAR), Battlemod doubly reported that it was loading WAR values into the console, and then POL crashed. FFXI was still operating and usable; it did not freeze.

I don't have any more substantial info than that, as I didn't have time to stay in-game nor further analyze the situation.

Anybody knows if Ihm, the author of Timers, is considering to add an option to make so users can customize the number of seconds buffs remain on screen after having expired?
Currently they flash yellow for a few seconds and you can't change that.

Ideally I'd want them to flash yellow a couple of secs and then become red, stay on the screen and count how many seconds have passed since the buff expired.
But I guess that would be too much so I'll probably be fine with a compromise.

So when I use Quick Draw, recast shows [1] if I have another charge remaining and [0] if I have no charges remaining, however if I use a stratagem on Sch it shows [1] if I've used 1 stratagem up to [5] if I've used all 5 stratagem charges and have none left.

In one case the number displayed is the charges remaining and in the other it's the charges spent. Is that intentional? It's conflicting with my OCD a little bit...

Just chiming in with a preference for the way it works right now on sch in case any changes are made. Perhaps implementing a "count up / count down" toggle option would appease everyone

And then the person disconnects or leaves and you have a full screen of red bars...

Is there an updated version/equivalent of ASE that works with windower 4?

[Cream Soda]

Any way to get timers to accurately reflect my phalanx II time? 5 merits, rdm cape and feet+1

Nope, and never will be. Wasn't meant to be released.

[Cream Soda]

Spikes my curiosity. What's ASE?

[Rhinox]

all seeing eye

[fantasticdan]

All seeing eye, you can see dead mobs (where they last died) and all sorts of stuff that isn't normally displayed. Like test npcs, cutscene npcs, etc.

Apparently have to use old windower to keep using it, or ashita and it's equivalent.

It's already supposed to do that, only JAs were never finished for it yet. If it doesn't work, file a bug report with the details here.

A new Hook update has been pushed, along with various plugins compiled against it. They won't work with the old Hook, so you'll need to relog fully to get the latest updates. If your Hook.dll doesn't update (it should, but there have been some weird behavior reports), delete the old Hook and restart the launcher.

Affected plugins:
ConsoleBG, Distance, FFOChat, LuaCore, PetTP, SpellCast, TParty

So just a little quirk about gearcollector

if you try to use GC on a broken XML, it'll return this message:
File not found: C:\bla bla bla\Windower4\plugins/spellcast/Name_job.XML
Error while parsing spellcast XML, terminating.

Could the error message somehow include what line has the error?

Will you be updating sandbox to work with it, I've been using it since you posted it and had 0 issues with it.

[Byrthnoth]

It was updated and they think it will be in-"core"-porated soon. yuk yuk yuk:
