Windower 4 - Discussion and Support

[Byrthnoth]

As far as crash on shutdown, Aureus gave me a more detailed explanation of why it occurs at one point. The details were lost on me, but what I got from it was that Windower needs to pass the right values back to POL in order for the crash to not happen, which isn't always the case. I vaguely remember the autotranslate dictionary being to blame.

I have fixed a lot of the bugs in battlemod. Looking at the github comment history, it appears they were:
* Job Abilities: Scavenge, Libra
* White Text: Libra on other people, Amnesia "you can't WS" message
* Duplicated Text: Dispeling TP moves (within party/alliance), "falls to the ground" messages, Xp scrolls/Shards giving XP or Plasm
* Missing Text: Doom counters weren't showing up (oops!)
* Silence adjustments: Allowing the "you can't roll again, dummy" message.


To-do list:

Additional Features:
* The "__damage" colors don't do anything, but have been left in the settings file for potential future uses.
* Somehow add a filter for monsters that you are currently fighting?
* Add a filter to change the color when debuffs vs. buffs wear off
* Filter for item usage
* Filter for "gains the effects of" messages
* Need to incorporate Resist vs. Normal AoE buff pools when there's a mix.
* Try and integrate SE's chat filters into this.
* Add past tense status effects to the resources somehow. - In progress
* Check whether I can determine if a monster is stunned or not following an attack (reaction parameter)
* Differentiate "good" and "bad" status effects.
* Combine damage from attack rounds into the same line
* Consider a filter specifically for enspells/sambas. - Condense enspells into damage.
* There is no filter for when a charmed player is attacking another player?

LuaCore or Hook related problems:
* Using //bm colortest and then expanding your chat log on small window size clients (640x480) can cause crashes? (Your guess is as good as mine, but this is a problem proportional to the number of color codes used)
* Many usable weapons do not show up due to next() corruption issues? -- work-around implemented (thanks Arcon!)

Battlemod problems:
* Healing additional effects show up if healing is set to true, though they probably shouldn't.
* Condense settings don't really work when they're turned to false. (Consider reinstating the colorful setting?). - I have forgotten what this means.
* Find out if there's any way to differentiate absorbing TP moves from TP moves that happen to heal you.
* Damage to Luopans may not be filtered properly?
* Accession-Cure shows only the target character cured, not all the people
* People occasionally filter Counter messages without realizing it - check which filter Counter is associated with
* Blocks elemental balance messages when you change your moghouse furniture?
* Does not give the Hide failure message
* For some reason AoE frequently shows up when it shouldn't (like when hit with single target magic absorbed by a shadow, using a healing item, etc.)

Potentially fixed or unable to replicate:
* "{{player}} falls to the ground" gets doubled up
* Dispel TP moves on others/alliance/party/self
* Currently Seigan+3E shows "Mob anticipates attack"

* Try and integrate SE's chat filters into this.

I've been turning all my filters off to see damage numbers while not having a messy chat log. It works pretty well.

Scoreboard only parse when I'm dead, anyway to fix that ?

[Sechs]

I assume you already tried deleting the Scoreboard folder from your Windower/Addon path, and then redownloading it again through the Windower4 client?

[ccl]

I did when it wasn't working@ 1st gonna redo it now and give it a go!

[Reg]

hmmm since yesterday, i didnt change anything to my settings and when something drops from a mob, i see it but i dont see myself or anyone "obtaining" it

[Byrthnoth]

I've pushed a change that might fix that, or it might not have anything to do with that.

[Reg]

ok i will check it out, thanks for the constant updating

[Draylo]

Is there a way to check what was updated with the various plugins? Just downloads without letting you know.

Is there a way to check what was updated with the various plugins? Just downloads without letting you know.

For addons:
https://github.com/Windower/Lua/commits/master

This is often way too detailed, but every time you download something new in the addons sections, here you can see why

For plugins, the repository is private, so up until now there was no way to check out what exactly had changed. However, now we started using a public changelog:
https://github.com/Windower/Issues/b...r/ChangeLog.md

This is only a few days old, so not much to see there yet, but in the future all updates will be displayed on there. Unfortunately it's not automatically updated, so all changes have to be written there manually, if someone forgets and you download something new, feel free to inquire about an update or bug us on IRC about it.

I installed Microsoft Project today and totally see where the Windows 4 loading screen came from.

Not a criticism, but actually thought I had clicked the wrong icon at first, lol

[NynJa]

in regards to the supersampling topic above...you can add it in yourself if its not there, but I wouldnt set it to 0.1



couldnt even hit 29.9 fps with that crap -.-

[Julian]

My pol's crashed 3 times so far today. Something recent make this happen?

edit: I'm also getting issues where one of my characters isnt getting synchronized w/ send again. I logged everyone in at the same time, too?

[chichicha]

Petschool addon look good.
But I think it went a bit wrong direction.

Magic casting is fine.

JA for spellcast.... Hmm... I can't think of any gears I need for JA from pet. For example , flashbulb, shock absorber...

On the other hands, WS wasn't for spellcast, which I believe this is more important for Rng and PLd pets.

IMO.

[blasphemy]

is send not working for anyone else? it was working fine yesterday now after the problems phoenix had earlier it is no longer working.

[TacoTaru]

More of a general question I guess. I use bt in my aliases for send, but in voidwatch that doesn't work due to alliances. Is there a way around this?

How do you change the sampling setting to be lower? Can it be changed on the fly ingame?

[Sechs]

Can't do it on the fly, need to set a different multiplier value inside the ini file for windower. It's been explained on the previous page.

[Byrthnoth]

There were some pretty major changes to battlemod pushed this morning, including one change to the settings file. You will need to add a:

<noabil></noabil>

field to your settings file. If you use the defaults, you can just rename or delete your settings file and use //bm reload to pull in the default for that line.

[ccl]

Looked a few page back but wasn't able to find an answer, any idea why scoreboard only start when I'm death and any way to fix it?
