Gearswap Help Thread!

@Instant:

An overall complete form, that includes zone checking (including when logging on or reloading the lua file). The event listener should only be active while you're in Dyna Qufim, and turn off outside of that. Also a small bit of refactoring for redundant parts of the notifications, making it trivial to add other Dyamis zones and mobs.

Note: initialization is put in the get_sets() function on the assumption that you're writing your own file. If you're basing it on my files/includes, it should go in the user_setup() function.

get_sets()
    ...

    dyna_mobs = {}
    dyna_event
    register_dynamis(world.zone)
    windower.raw_register_event('zone change', dynamis_zone_change)
end


function dynamis_zone_change(new_zone_id, old_zone_id)
    register_dynamis(gearswap.res.zones[new_zone_id][language])
end

function register_dynamis(zone)
    if zone == "Dynamis - Qufim" then
        if not dyna_event then
            dyna_event = windower.raw_register_event('time change', dynamis_time_change)
            dyna_mobs.at0 = 'Gaylas, Rocs and Krakens'
            dyna_mobs.at8 = 'Snolls, Stirges and Weapons'
            dyna_mobs.at16 = 'Diremites, Raptors and Tigers'
        end
    elseif dyna_event then
        unregister_event(dyna_event)
        dyna_event = nil
    end
end



function dynamis_time_change(new_time, old_time)
    if new_time == (60*7 + 50) or new_time == (60*15 + 50) or new_time == (60*23 + 50) then
        send_command('input /p [Dyna] Camp change soon! <call8>')
    elseif new_time == 60*0 then move_notice(dyna_mobs.at0)
    elseif new_time == 60*8 then move_notice(dyna_mobs.at8)
    elseif new_time == 60*16 then move_notice(dyna_mobs.at16)
    end
end

function move_notice(mobs)
    if mobs then
        send_command('input /p [Dyna] MOVE CAMP TO '..mobs..'! <call7>')
    end
end

Oh wow, didn't expect a reply that fast, thanks Motenten!
Now, at the risk of making everyone /rolleyes, how do I get this to work?
What do I save this file as, and where do I put it?
Do I need to add a reference in another file to this so that it gets loaded up?

*clueless*

[Motenten]

Read the tutorials on GearSwap.

[Instant]

me and 4 other guys using gearswap have been staring at this and the tutorials for a while now, can't make heads or tails of it.
At least spellcast/xml was easy to read & figure out
Guess I'll have to stick to shitty autoexec for now...

[JSHidaka]

Gearswap is easy, but mote's code is not for general use, you have to use his files, for it to work.

all this is in the tut
in gearswap you have different functions to keep things seporate (these are not the only functions you can have in theory you can have an infinite amount of functions)i.e.
getsets(for sets,and things you want to load only when your lua first gets called i.e. global vars,tables,etc any thing you want to have access to in all functions)
precast(used for before your spell is sent to the server)
midcast(is for while the casting animation is active)
aftercast(for after the server says that you have casted your spell)

and as for the info mote gave you
this goes at the bottom of your getsets function

    dyna_mobs = {}
    dyna_event
    register_dynamis(world.zone)
    windower.raw_register_event('zone change', dynamis_zone_change)

the rest are separate functions so thay go anyware you want as long as thay are not in another function

Gearswap is easy, but mote's code is not for general use, you have to use his files, for it to work.

agreed

I'll try this out tonight, thanks for the help dlsmd & Motenten.

I noticed that sometimes GS doesn't equip Dark Ring in Ring1 Slot.
Never saw/noticed it happening during real fights, on the field, but I saw it happen pretty often (always?) when I swap job to BRD in my MH.
I guess it's time for me to start handling those dark rings in a special way instead than just like any other item? Where can I find more info on how to handle [augmented] gear?


Second question, I need to do something I've never done before.
I have a single spell for which I want to use two different gearsets. I don't want to handle this through a trigger or a cycle (the way I handle TP sets, acc sets etc) but through two different macros.
Basically Macro1 ==> will use set1, Macro2 ==> will use set2.
How can I code this?

for #1 augments will be out put with gear when you export your current gear with gs export

for #2 you would still have to tell gearswap which gear you want to equip like this

function get_sets()
	sets["spell name"].true = {--[[i think you know how to do sets]]}
	sets["spell name"].false = {--[[i think you know how to do sets]]}
	spellnamesetselect = true
end
function precast(spell)
	if spell.name == "spell name" then
		equip(sets[spellname][spellnamesetselect])
	end
end
function self_command(command)
	if command == "set1 name" then
		spellnamesetselect = true
	elseif command == "set2 name" then
		spellnamesetselect = false
	end
end

then you would put this in 2 different macros

/console gs c set1 name
/ma "spell name" <t>

/console gs c set2 name
/ma "spell name" <t>

Yeah self commands is the only solution I could think about. Was kinda wondering to see if there was something else to manually force/override but I guess I'll go that way.

Bit more info on the export thing? Never used the function since I don't rely on GearCollector.
I guess that's what you're talking about? The function to export into an xml?
After I've done that then... what?

gs export --creates a lua file with your current gear thats equiped in the gearswap/data/export folder
gs export sets xml --creates a xml file with all of your gear in your gearswap file in the gearswap/data/export folder for use with gear collector

gs export <options> --Exports your currently equipped gear, inventory, or all the items in your current Lua files' sets into gearswap .lua or spellcast .xml format. Takes options "inventory", "sets", and "xml." Defaults to currently equipped gear and lua otherwise. Also exports appropriate advanced set tables with augments for currently equipped gear and inventory.

Does anyone have a good method for differentiating t1-2, 3-5, and ra/ga spells for elemental magic rules?

I need something more robust than the following, but looking to avoid having to type out every single spell name. I thought of string.find for "ra" "ga" and " II" " III" " IV" " V" (leading spaces are there on purpose), but those aren't specific enough, and could cause issues with ra tiers and ga tiers. Is there some other way to group these spells? Also does spell.cast_time refer to the actual post fastcast time or the hard coded original cast time?

elseif spell.skill == 'Elemental Magic' and spell.cast_time > 5 then equip(sets.midcast.MA.nuke2)
elseif spell.skill == 'Elemental Magic' then equip(sets.midcast.MA.nuke)

you could make a table for nuke level
or
you could type out every spell

and i almost certain spell.cast_time uses the hard-coded times in the resources

Can you elaborate on the table syntax with an example? I'm not sure how to do that in the current context.

[dlsmd]

you would build the table like this

spell_nuke_lvl ={
	["Aero"] = 1
	["Aero II"] = 2
	["Aero III"] = 3
	["Aero IV"] = 4
	["Aero V"] = 5
	["Aeroga"] = 1
	["Aeroga II"] = 2
	["Aeroga III"] = 3
	["Aerora"] = 1
	["Aerora II"] = 2
	["Aeroja"] = 3
	}

and you would use this to check the spell level

if spell_nuke_lvl[spell.name] >= 3 then

this is just an example you can set it up however you want

[Motenten]

Where can I find more info on how to handle [augmented] gear?

addons\GearSwap\beta_examples_and_information\Adva nced set tables.txt

The simplest way to get the proper formatting is to just equip the items in question and do //gs export, and look at the export result (and tidy it up). Also, if you look at Mote-Globals you'll see I put a couple dark rings in the gear table.

How can I code this?

Aside from dls's answer, I'm sure you realize that you're not limited to just two values, and that there's no requirement that those value be bools. You can make the subtables "Rainy" and "Sunshine", or "Day" and "Night", or anything else.

Can you elaborate on the table syntax with an example? I'm not sure how to do that in the current context.

    ElementalEnfeebles = S{'Burn', 'Frost', 'Choke', 'Rasp', 'Shock', 'Drown'}
    LowTierNukes = S{'Stone', 'Water', 'Aero', 'Fire', 'Blizzard', 'Thunder',
        'Stone II', 'Water II', 'Aero II', 'Fire II', 'Blizzard II', 'Thunder II',
        'Stone III', 'Water III', 'Aero III', 'Fire III', 'Blizzard III', 'Thunder III',
        'Stonega', 'Waterga', 'Aeroga', 'Firaga', 'Blizzaga', 'Thundaga',
        'Stonega II', 'Waterga II', 'Aeroga II', 'Firaga II', 'Blizzaga II', 'Thundaga II',
        'Stonera', 'Watera', 'Aera', 'Fira', 'Blizzara', 'Thundara'}
        
        
    if spell.skill == 'Elemental Magic' and not ElementalEnfeebles:contains(spell.english) then
        if LowTierNukes:contains(spell.english) then
            equip(sets.midcast.LowTierNuke)
        else
            equip(sets.midcast.HighTierNuke)
        end
    end

Thanks dlsmd & motenten that's exactly what I was looking for.

much appreciated but no thanks is needed thats what this forum is for

gearswap quit working since last update for me and my wife (2 diff computers). This a general issue or is our stuff out of date?
