Windower 4 - Discussion and Support

[Bukadan]

guys nothing i do is changing the spellcast crashing, any ideas?

[Byrthnoth]

Are you using a new or misnamed item, like Cizen Greaves? Perhaps your resources are not updated yet.

[Loire]

Currently having spellcast and lua core crashes. Spellcast while inside either Adoulin zone, abyssea, and jeuno. Lua core in the same zones whilst using a send command. Newest resources and without any misnamed items. (Character does not have cizin greaves or breeches)

[Gun-it]

Not sure if this is a problem with windower or what....

Bummer. I'm trying to two box across 2 PCs, and currently only have that working with old windowerhelper. Without an API document, I haven't been able to get the code ported to new helper. There has to be some other solution for 2 boxing on 2 PCs.

Or if anyone can offer even a really basic application template, I've got all of the socket layer work done, just need to get commands from windower instance (probably not the right place to ask for this, but meh).

I made a C-version of the windowerhelper4 library that can work with remote hosts. The interface is almost-but-not-quite the same as the original windowerhelper. It seems to work okay for me, but I mostly use it for locally-run programs, as there was a short time where MMF was not available in windower4.

It can be found at: http://pignax.com/pub/windowerhelper4.7z A test program and vs2010 project are included.

Thanks, I'll take a look.

I can input text fine via helper right now, but for some reason CCHGetArg() seems to always return empty (as does CCHGetRawCommand). I feel like there's just some small thing I'm missing.

Did luacore break today for anyone else? Yesterday I was able to load luacore & all my addons fine after they were updated. Today, I'm able to load luacore, but it crashes each time I try to load an addon. It gets a fatal error - Access violation in HandleCommand method.

Edit: Relaunched FFXI after spellcast started crashing, and everything is working fine now, so nevermind...

Edit2: Meh, broken again. Logged 1st character in, things looked fine (spellcast worked this time). Logged 2nd character in, sent an invite from 1st charactor, luacore crashed when autojoin accepted the invite. Tried to gear swap on 1st char, and spellcast crashed.

spellcast (windower4 and all updates) crashes randomly with the error: Access violation in OutgoingText Method

blinkmenot crashes all the time with error: Access violation in IncomingChunk Method

Spellcast and BlinkMeNot hopefully fixed for 4.0 users. Rerun launcher to get an update

Didn't see it reported yet.
Timers is working "fine" for me, as in it's not crashing, but buffs are off, they wear (on the bufflist) much sooner than they actually should.
Like songs are ~1 min off.
It happened with SCH buffs as well yesterday. (at least weather ones, that I could notice)

I believe it is no longer picking up on duration bonuses from gear (seems to pick up on JA duration buffs like Troubador/Perpetuance fine).

[Sechs]

Then the problem with SCH was with the Perpetuance agumentation on AF3+2 hands.
Makes sense at least.

[Arcon]

Timers has just been rebuilt against the new inventory struct. Equipment should now work again properly (at least to the degree it did before).

[TSFFXI]

I didn't know that windower had a built in video function until I saw it on the windower site wiki today.

video start <xRes> <yRes> <fps> <quality> - Starts a video using specified parameters
video stop - Stop recording

Presumably quality is high/low? Can anyone with experience using this estimate how much hard drive space it burns up recording at 29.5 fps, or whatever the ffxi cap is? Thanks.

[Byrthnoth]

Depending what your goal is, you should pick the appropriate x/yRes (make sure your monitor and background resolution are set properly for it for optimal results). Here are some links:
https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/1722171?hl=en
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD-Video#Video_data

fps can be as low as 20 without much difference in FFXI videos, I've seen.

quality is a number between 1 and 100. I can't honestly tell the difference between 10 and 100. Something like 5 is probably fine for the vast majority of recordings.

I can't really give you any guidelines on video size. There is some limit on the container size, I think, and it's possible that a 2TB video is the largest you can take or something. I forget the specifics.

After re-running the launcher, Timers still didn't seem to be working right last night. Bard songs were still showing 2:00, rather than 2:00+gear duration.

[Sechs]

^ what wooly said.
I updated and relogged but was still having issues at least with BRD. Doesn't seem to feel the pieces which augment duration of buffs.
Didn't have the time to try AF3+2 hands (perpetuance augmentation for SCH) and Composure (AF3+2 bonus) for RDM, but I've heard from friends they have the same issues.

[Chrius]

Is there anything I can do to make corsair rolls follow gear and winning streak contributions with Timers?

[Mafai]

I tested timers before we pushed it.

Minne 5 naked - 2:00
Minne 5 naked besides lvl 90 daurb - 2:30

This is working how it should be.

Unload and reload it, confirm you have 1.0.1.15.

If you can be more specific about what pieces aren't working that would be helpful.

[Sechs]

Updated Timers again today and it seems to be working. Buffs are actually off a few seconds (5? 10 max) but it's working fine overall, at least on BRD.
