Windower 4 - Discussion and Support

[grevenilvec75]

Is it possible to make an Addon like timers but without the blank lines?

[blasphemy]

Anyone else having problems opening windower 4? Or does my life suck?

sometimes i crash when trying to start it up.

[blasphemy]

I am getting an error where plugins load twice even plugins I don't have installed anyone else experiencing this?

[grevenilvec75]

you copy your old init.txt over when you installed windower4?

[Jeryhn]

For Battlemod, is there a way to toggle on only the default filters? Seems that whenever a new update comes out, a new filter set comes out as well and seems to effect my chosen filter set on some random job I've not used in awhile.

i did. how do i get rid of it?

[Sechs]

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

Could just make a command to reset those lines, or make so they disappear after X amount of time has passed.

Sorry, could you describe this problem a little bit more?

Battlemod 2.16 is out. It features:
1) A version number!
2) Fixed filters - There was a filter bug where things would quasi-randomly appear and could not be shut off. It has been fixed
3) Fixed counters - Now with Infinity% more Counters
4) Fixed anticipations - Such a silly glitch!
5) Gradual petrify notifications - Probably!
6) A reworked loading system - Thanks, Arcon! (This was actually out yesterday.)

Was this related to me seeing WS damage of others when on SCH? (where I have all party member stuff but healing filtered).

Yeah. That should be fixed now. I guess also:
7) Buff names are no longer shown in say-color when they wear off if you have them set to color 0.

just open up init.txt and find the section with all the plugin loads and delete them.

ex:

load silence
load tparty
load spellcast

etc.

I mean that when Battlemod is updated, a new filter file for a particular job is created or something, so if I happen to be running around on one of those jobs that is included with the Battlemod update, the default filters I like are usually ignored. I've kinda temporarily fixed this by saving 22 files as filter-JOB.xml for each job in the game. I was just wondering if there was a cleaner way to deal with it. >.>

i had reinstalled windower 4, so they are no longer there and for some reason the files still load, could it be the old windower causing the problem?

Nope. Windower's launcher downloads files that are on github but not you folder. If you want to save some space, you should only have to save DNC, WHM, and WAR duplicates.

[Jeryhn]

Huh, that's strange. Windower has automatically downloaded BLM, BRD, THF and SCH files for me recently too. I don't even have THF leveled.

Oh well, I'll just keep the 22 file method.

[Byrthnoth]

Haha, oops. It looks like my filters for those jobs accidentally got uploaded. I'll delete them.

seems unlikely

Do you have seperate init files for each job? could be loading them twice that way. Or do you have some sort of addon that loads plugins? which plugins in particular are loading twice? is it all of the ones you have turned on in the w4 plugin manager? or just some of them?

it also loads files i dont even have installed.

[grevenilvec75]

when you first crank up windower4, take a look at the plugin manager and see if anything looks weird (like some of those plugins turned "on" or something)

Also look at Windower4/scripts/autoload/autoload.txt and see if anything looks weird in there (both of those lists should match, since the plugin manager automatically creates autoload.txt (autoload.txt will have lua addons in it also, so not exactly match in that case))

okay that was the problem it was loading files i had previously loaded the first time i downloaded windower 4.
