FFXIVApp - Event - Sound Queues when abilities Proc

**Azurewrath** · 2013-10-21 12:35

Not sure if many people use the FFXIVApp for the events plugin, but it basically allows you to have sound effects play when things proc.

For example, when i get "You gain the effect of Straighter Shot." a sound effect plays.
This can also be used for Plds for ifrits eruption, etc.

Anyone have more good uses for it? If I'm correct, it needs to be shown in the chat log. Things like reapplying dots doesn't work well because anybody's dots will trigger the sound effect.

It does seem like there's a lot of nifty things to do with it but I never really looked into it too much because of the limitations. As in your example, it can notify you when straighter shot procs (which pops up on your character and lights up on the hotbar already, so kind of easy to notice) but not when Bloodletter recast is reset (which has no in-game indicator other than the recast suddenly being up).

Just makes me wonder how long it'll be until someone just makes a spellcast for XIV.

Gimme a bit.

I have every status effect in real-time and integrating with parser/event including current agro'd mobs hp and much more. More than that coming though.

Can you have a sound effect play when a certain ability is ready to use?

Constantly looking at my bloodletter icon to see if the reset procs is slightly annoying. Hearing a ding or something when its ready would be so helpful.

EDIT: NVM, Totally missed that other post that already asked the same thing xD Carry on...

Akirra, one thing you can do is make your Heavy shot macro:
/micon "Heavy Shot"
/ac "Bloodletter" <t>
/ac "Heavy Shot" <t>

It'll make your heavy shot button automatically use Bloodletter first IF it's ready. If it's not, you just do heavy shot as intended. If you use this, you will rarely have bloodletter's cooldown reset and realize youve been sitting on it for 5 secs. Only thing is you need to pretty much spam this macro between all your abilities in case Bloodletter procs and is ready

One more thing: Is there a way to disable to sound effect for errors? Doing this theres a constant beep due to error, i need to mute system sounds, which also seems to mute the duty pop sound

For error specifically I doubt it, it probably falls under system sounds in the config tho.

While redundancy macros like those ^ are useful macros will always suffer from the inability to pre-empt the GCD (can't activate until the timer is up completely).

yeah, it's useful on ones that youre spamming at all times, but I tried making macros for my dots on brd with bloodletter first in case of a proc, and i found I kept hitting it and then moving on and realizing it wasn't going off for that exact reason. Now I just watch my bloodletter while i cast my dots.

**Niiro** · 2013-10-21 20:13

Not really the thread for it but these are the macros I came up with for BRD.

Spoiler: show

Rather than front loading BL/ME I back load it on everything but Heavy shot, this ensures I get the effect I want and the macro does an automatic check for BL/ME afterward. It makes good use of the downtime between GCDs.

The Windbite macro in particular may look kind of crazy but it works very well, the way it's setup doesn't leave any time wasted regardless of what skills are ready or not.

Kind of off-topic, but has SE released any official statements about whether it's within the TOS to use plugins like these? I recall reading somewhere that they were going to announce official add-on/plugin support sometime, soon, but I haven't seen that yet.

I'd dearly like to use this and Xpadder, but I'm still holding out for an official statement of some sort.
