Stuff Borked - SoA 3/27/2013 (Clipper Questions Can Go Here, Too)

[Ihm]

We've released a fix for Windower 4. If you use the Windower 4 Beta, just re-run the launcher and it will automatically update. If you haven't moved to v4 yet, we encourage you to do so here. We are working on backporting the fix to 3.4, and will be posting an update when a fix is available.

It's a hook update, so make sure you close the game before updating .

The next week on this game should be a lot of fun imo

[Darkmagi]

Excellent, does this fix spellcast and console commands?

[Shirai]

console yes, spellcast is still awaiting I think.

[Mafai]

First 3.4 plugin fixes

TParty - fixed issue with target hp always displaying 0.

What else is broken besides AddToChat and // commands causing crashes in 3.4?

[Obsidian]

Blinkmenot is FUBAR'd I'm pretty sure.

[Raelia]

console yes, spellcast is still awaiting I think.

Spellcast is working for me, I don't run crazy buffactive or state things though.

[Draylo]

Nobody find a reason for the crashing after hitting play?

[Obsidian]

I got logged in fine and have yet to crash.

[Elizara]

Ok, I did a file check after that..had to rep about 500 files. (Ouch..something's really borked.)

Updating my brother's PC for a backup (I mean to copy that directory by directory if it's further borked since we can't copy the whole FFXI directory at once b/c of lack of space; Like bleep I'm going to reinstall FFXI with this congestion)

Nobody find a reason for the crashing after hitting play?

Only time I've ever had the crash (a silent crash) after hitting play in POL was having ROM9 (re: SoA) folder made prematurely to the game actually seeking out ROM9 for expansion info.

If you don't have the expansion, did you by any chance download a zipped update that was intended for those w/ the expansion installed?

[Draylo]

I've had this issue before on the test server and it was fixed after deleting ROM9, but I obviously need that folder now. I do have the expansion, which I downloaded yesterday. My laptop does not have ROM9 or the expansion installed and its having the same issue after unzipping the files.

Just switched to windower4, and tried booting up dualsend but keep getting an error:

DualSend has detected that you have keyboard_allowmmf disabled. Please enable it by typing "keyboard_allowmmf 1" (without the quotation marks) into the windower console.

I did this and it still has yet to work. Anyone know how to fix? Worked fine with 3.431.

[Warusha]

Same issue as Draylo, still no dice. No file corruption found for FFXI or POL.

[arus2001]

Doesn't mean a corruption hasn't happened. Have you guys at least tried without Windower? If it still bugs out then, I fear you may be looking at a full reinstall.

[Helel]

BMN, Spellcast, Autoexec, etc... everything works for me now. I just switched over to window 4 by copy-pasting my scripts/plugins folder and everything worked right off the bat. Figured I'd post in case anyone is hesitant about switching over.

[Draylo]

Have tried without windower, nothing. I don't see why a full reinstall is needed, it worked fine yesterday and only fucked up today after extracting those files for the update.

[arus2001]

Can't treat the game as basically 9 independent ROM folders. As while a lot of the DATs get tucked away to expansion-specific folders, there's still some common stuff where a botched install can fuck you up. At the very least, crashing after clicking Play would imply the primary FFXI got messed up somewhere.

My files are pretty outdated (about a year), but if you want me to upload the main folder somewhere, you can try using that to see if it'd fix you (with likely a small repatch).

Windower team is clearly in cahoots with SE, perfect timing to upgrade to 4.0!!

[Seankp]

Nobody find a reason for the crashing after hitting play?

My new laptop crashes every single time after hitting play with any form of Windower except the official SE one. This started to happen after registering SoA the other night and installing SoA. This happens with plug-ins and without. This also happens to be a Windows 8 machine. There are no errors or anything, it just crashes.

Uninstalled windower4, tried 3.4, that didn't work either... not sure why it's crashing.

This is the event viewer info about the crash.
