Is gear swap able to equip gear for fishing, mining/logging/harvesting ?

**Byrthnoth** · 2014-06-13 21:56

It can do mining/logging/harvesting by default as long as you use /item "Hatchet" <t> and so forth. Items sent through the chat buffer are passed through precast/midcast/aftercast like spells.

Fishing is not currently handled, but you could make a user event to do it if you wanted.

is gearswap capable of recognizing the delay of weapons? i see that it can parse out the augment data, but i don't know if the augments are held as whatever 'exdata' is? i ask because on sam; amano(437), tsurumaru(450), amano+lentus(459), tsuru+lentus(473), anahera(494), and anahera+lentus(519) all come in at different stp values.

I was also hoping of parlaying this into something to check for stp values on war for various weapons while switching back and forth for proccing and whatnot

**Byrthnoth** · 2014-06-14 06:15

Augments are held in extdata. Delay is also stored in the .dat, but it isn't currently exposed to GearSwap (so it can't be exposed to you). Make an issue here if you want to expose it: https://github.com/Windower/ResourceExtractor/issues

since the XLS file is not updated, has a new category been created to discriminate "Trust" magic from other forms of magic? Currently spell.prefix == /magic includes everything, and I don't see a spell.type == 'trust' in the list.

**Byrthnoth** · 2014-06-14 10:03

If you ever want to get information on the magic you're casting, there are two ways to do it:
1) Put "print_set(spell)" in precast
2) open up the resources file and look at it:

Code:

    [898] = {id=898,en="Kupipi",ja="クピピ",de="Kupipi",fr="Kupipi",cast_time=8,element=6,icon_id=-1,icon_id_nq=22,levels={[1]=1,[2]=1,[3]=1,[4]=1,[5]=1,[6]=1,[7]=1,[8]=1,[9]=1,[10]=1,[11]=1,[12]=1,[13]=1,[14]=1,[15]=1,[16]=1,[17]=1,[18]=1,[19]=1,[20]=1,[21]=1,[22]=1},mp_cost=0,prefix="/magic",range=0,recast=192,recast_id=898,requirements=0,skill=0,targets=1,type="Trust"},

type="Trust", so yeah that will work.

Also, the line from variables.xls says:

String indicating the type of spell without spaces. So "JobAbility" for Provoke, "WhiteMagic" for Cure, "BardSong" for Marches, etc. Obtained from resources.

It's very obviously not a comprehensive list and tells you where to go to find more information. Just look it up next time.

Just noticed "trust" is in my resources file (@ home).
I must have been looking at the files @ work, which haven't been updated for quite some time...

Oh well, thanks. I'll just use spell.type ~= 'Trust' to discriminate.

i found a way to get party names with out knowing the position but it causes errors if there is no party member in the location
here is how

Code:

partynames = S{party[1].name,party[2].name,party[3].name,party[4].name,party[5].name,party[6].name}
allionenames = S{alliance[1][1].name,alliance[1][2].name,alliance[1][3].name,alliance[1][4].name,alliance[1][5].name,alliance[1][6].name}
allitwonames = S{alliance[2][1].name,alliance[2][2].name,alliance[2][3].name,alliance[2][4].name,alliance[2][5].name,alliance[2][6].name}

i could do a lot of ifs like this but it just looks dirty to me for some reason

Code:

		if party[6] then
			partynames = S{party[1].name,party[2].name,party[3].name,party[4].name,party[5].name,party[6].name}
		elseif party[5] then
			partynames = S{party[1].name,party[2].name,party[3].name,party[4].name,party[5].name}
		elseif party[4] then
			partynames = S{party[1].name,party[2].name,party[3].name,party[4].name}
		elseif party[3] then
			partynames = S{party[1].name,party[2].name,party[3].name}
		elseif party[2] then
			partynames = S{party[1].name,party[2].name}
		elseif party[1] then
			partynames = S{party[1].name}
		end
		if alliance[1][6] then
			allionenames = S{alliance[1][1].name,alliance[1][2].name,alliance[1][3].name,alliance[1][4].name,alliance[1][5].name,alliance[1][6].name}
		elseif alliance[1][5] then
			allionenames = S{alliance[1][1].name,alliance[1][2].name,alliance[1][3].name,alliance[1][4].name,alliance[1][5].name}
		elseif alliance[1][4] then
			allionenames = S{alliance[1][1].name,alliance[1][2].name,alliance[1][3].name,alliance[1][4].name}
		elseif alliance[1][3] then
			allionenames = S{alliance[1][1].name,alliance[1][2].name,alliance[1][3].name}
		elseif alliance[1][2] then
			allionenames = S{alliance[1][1].name,alliance[1][2].name}
		elseif alliance[1][1] then
			allionenames = S{alliance[1][1].name}
		end
		if alliance[2][6] then
			allitwonames = S{alliance[2][1].name,alliance[2][2].name,alliance[2][3].name,alliance[2][4].name,alliance[2][5].name,alliance[2][6].name}
		elseif alliance[2][5] then
			allitwonames = S{alliance[2][1].name,alliance[2][2].name,alliance[2][3].name,alliance[2][4].name,alliance[2][5].name}
		elseif alliance[2][4] then
			allitwonames = S{alliance[2][1].name,alliance[2][2].name,alliance[2][3].name,alliance[2][4].name}
		elseif alliance[2][3] then
			allitwonames = S{alliance[2][1].name,alliance[2][2].name,alliance[2][3].name}
		elseif alliance[2][2] then
			allitwonames = S{alliance[2][1].name,alliance[2][2].name}
		elseif alliance[2][1] then
			allitwonames = S{alliance[2][1].name}
		end

as a follow up, i'm curious about the syntax of using nested indexes. for instance

wpn.index = {"437","450","494"}
wpn_ind = 1
grp.index = {"bloodrain","lentus","duplus"}
grp_ind = 1
ion.index = {"noionis","ionis"}
ion_ind = 1
has.index = {"unbuff","hasso","seigan"}
has_ind = 1
tp.index = {"att","acc","DT"}
tp_ind = 1
sets.tp.index = {"437","450","494"} --weapon delay index wpn_ind
sets.tp.450.index = {"lentus","bloodrain","duplus"} --grip index grp_ind
sets.tp.450.bloodrain = {"noionis","ionis"} --ionis index ion_ind
sets.tp.450.bloodrain.ionis.index = {"unbuff","hasso","seigan"} --hasso index has_ind
sets.tp.450.bloodrain.ionis.hasso.index = {"att","acc","DT"} -- tp_ind

what syntax would you use to call the set? would this work? (and yes, i realize that's a ton of sets.)

equip(sets.tp.[wpn[wpn_ind]].[grp[grp_ind]].[ion[ion_ind]].[has[has_ind]].[tp[tp_ind]])

As a second aside i wanted to double check whether sets inside the array are parent/children. for example if takaha mantle is used across all tp sets, would
sets.tp = (back="takaha mantle")
equip it mantle in all child sets unless defined otherwise?

That sounds like something trivially loop-able:

Code:

ally_names = {}

for pt_num,pt in pairs(alliance) do
    for pos,player in pairs(pt) do
        if not ally_names['party'..pt_num] then
            ally_names['party'..pt_num] = S{}
        end
        ally_names['party'..pt_num]:add(player.name)
    end
end

When you reference a sub-table using brackets, you do not precede it with a period. So instead it should be:

equip(sets.tp[wpn[wpn_ind]][grp[grp_ind]][ion[ion_ind]][has[has_ind]][tp[tp_ind]])

Personally, I don't like the use of indexes. I prefer separate 'options' and 'states' (eg: options.WeaponDelays = {'437', '450', '494'}; state.WeaponDelay = '437'; then reference the gear set as sets.tp[state.WeaponDelay], etc).

Alright so still tap tapping away at my list of jobs, and now I'm looking at BST and... I'll admit I'm completely stumped. I remember with spellcast I had to do this whole funky thing to make it recognize pet commands like fantod, etc as their non-BLU version, but I haven't the faintest how I'd do that for GS. Obviously, it's precast. I'm guessing something along the lines of pet commands, but I'm sorta clueless here. I'm looking to essentially have it recognize commands, make sure it's the pet version, and swap gear accordingly. Mostly my AF3+2 hands. >.>

So how would I go about doing that?

as far as i know gearswap does not auto-correct a spell like spellcast did
so this should work to know if its a petcommand for bst
if spell.type == "Monster" then

**Arcon** · 2014-06-16 01:03

GearSwap doesn't do anything to spells, but Shortcuts does. You can install Shortcuts, it will try to disambiguate spells like those according to what makes most sense at the time.

        ally_names['party'..pt_num]:add(player.name)
    end
end

this does not work for me

my code worked fine but today an update is causing it to populate the table with true and not the name
i.e.
add_to_chat(123,"Party List="..table.concat(ally_names, "/"))
out puts
Party List=true/true/true/true/true/true
but yesterday it output
Party List="char1"/"char2"/"char3"/"char4"/"char5"/"char6"

but if i put in
add_to_chat(123,"party[1]="..tostring(party[1].name))
it still says my char name am i missing something

Would probably be better just to make them all in one index with as many variables you want, then in the self command function just break them up in groupings you desire.

Did a quick test on it. Change the 'pairs' functions to 'ipairs'. So:

Code:

	ally_names = {}
	
	for pt_num,pt in ipairs(alliance) do
		for pos,player in ipairs(pt) do
		    if not ally_names['party'..pt_num] then
		        ally_names['party'..pt_num] = S{}

		    ally_names['party'..pt_num]:add(player.name)

		    end
		    ally_names['party'..pt_num]:add(player.name)
		end
	end

that works but i had to modify it a little or else it would never clear out people that leve the party unless i reload gearswap

Code:

		ally_names.party1 = nil
		ally_names.party2 = nil
		ally_names.party3 = nil
		for pt_num,pt in ipairs(alliance) do
			for pos,player in ipairs(pt) do
				if not ally_names['party'..pt_num] then
					ally_names['party'..pt_num] = S{}
				end
			ally_names['party'..pt_num]:add(player.name)
			end
		end

i tried to do this to update the info weather i take action or not but i cant get it to work (i think its because its using gs info)

Code:

require('packets')
ally_names = {}
windower.register_event('incoming chunk', function(id, data) 
	if id == 0x0C8 then
		ally_names.party1 = nil
		ally_names.party2 = nil
		ally_names.party3 = nil
		for pt_num,pt in ipairs(alliance) do
			for pos,player in ipairs(pt) do
				if not ally_names['party'..pt_num] then
					ally_names['party'..pt_num] = S{}
				end
			ally_names['party'..pt_num]:add(player.name)
			end
		end
	end 
end)

**ragnark** · 2014-06-16 21:10

so today, all of a sudden, i'm getting a strange gearswap error ... i keep seeing the following repeating whenever i engage a mob:
