Gearswap Help Thread!

Thanks a ton! ^^ Working it in now. So how about for 3 different subs?

function get_sets()
	subjobtype = "RDM"
	sets.Engaged.RDM = {	}
	sets.Engaged.DNC = {	}
        sets.Engaged.NIN = { }
end
function sub_job_change(new,old)
	if new = "Red Mage" then
		subjobtype = "RDM"
	if new = "Dancer" then
		subjobtype = "DNC"
        elseif new = "Ninja" then
                subjobtype = "NIN"
	end
end

Would that be correct?

it would be
if
elseif
elseif
end
i.e.

function sub_job_change(new,old)
	if new = "Red Mage" then
		subjobtype = "RDM"
	elseif new = "Dancer" then
		subjobtype = "DNC"
        elseif new = "Ninja" then
                subjobtype = "NIN"
	end
end

but yes

I'm not that proficient with gearswap yet, and I am trying to finish writing out my Run file. I been wondering is there a way to reverse cycle through an options set or to associate two sets of options to a single state? I'm trying to do this for runes so I can select which i want/need and use quickly. Any insight or assistance is appreciated.

for the first you just need to make a command to go the other way in the cycle
example:

function get_sets()
	test = {"test1","test2","test3"}
	extest = {"test2","test3","test1"}
	test_count = 1
end
function self_command(command)
	if command == "test_up" then
		if test_count < 3 then
			test_count = test_count +1
		elseif test_count == 3 then
			test_count = 1
		end
	else command == "test_down" then
		if test_count > 1 then
			test_count = test_count -1
		elseif test_count == 1 then
			test_count = 3
		end
	end
end

for the second yes its posible
using the example above
test[test_count]
extest[test_count]

Thank you for the tip and quick reply, I'll start implementing it asap. I was using Spellcast to just handle the JA selection, while Gearswap handled the rest. Now I can say goodbye to Spellcast completely once this integrated in to the file.

question for mote:

A friend of mine wants to setup his blm the way that when he uses Ice Elemental spells, the mote blm lua equips Ngqoqwanb as the nukeing staff. Since i dont use mote luas, i figure I ask you first, before looking for hours into includes etcs. I saw the mapping on the fastcast and recast staves, but there was none available for elemental damage staves. how would my friend go best about including that rule into your blm.lua?

[Motenten]

Add a custom spell map, and construct a set based on that.

Quick example, tweaking the existing function:

    sets.midcast.IceNukes = {main="Ngqoqwanb", ...}

-- Custom spell mapping.
function job_get_spell_map(spell, default_spell_map)
    if spell.skill == 'Elemental Magic' and default_spell_map ~= 'ElementalEnfeeble' then
        if spell.element == 'Ice' then
            return 'IceNukes'
        end
    end
end

thx alot <3, i forwarded your answer and he is implementing it right now

I picked up Cor again yesterday, I use Mote's lua files, and I noticed neither the Luzaf Ring toggle, or the roll info was no longer working. I grab an update Cor.lua from github.com, loaded it, and still having the same issue. the message I get for the ring is "Mote-GearSwap: Toggle: Unknown field [luzaf]". I installed ffxi on my other PC i use for just school, having same issue. I talked with my friend who also use Mote's files, she said the roll info stopped working after the ffxi version update, and toggle about a day or 2 after. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

Just echoing this. I'd like to know is this is just an isolated issue for my friend and I or if there's a current problem with Mote's Cor.lua or Gearswap running his Cor file since the update if anyone knows.

[Johnblaze]

I have no issues with Mote's current COR.lua. Probably an isolated issue.

[Sithel]

Why would this bit of code work perfectly if I change Weakness to Haste or Stoneskin or whatever buff for testing purposes, but leaving it Weakness and dieing and raising up I get nothing? No print to screen or changing to twilight.

function buff_change(name,gain_or_loss)
	if name == 'Weakness' and gain_or_loss then		
			equip{head="Twilight Helm",body="Twilight Mail"}
			disable('head','body')
			add_to_chat(167,'Weaken! >>> (Enabling Twilight Set)')
			send_command('timers create "Weakness" 300 up abilities/00255.png')			
	elseif name == 'Weakness' and not gain_or_loss then 		
			enable('head','body')
			status_change(player.status)
			add_to_chat(162,'Unweak >>>> (Disabling Twilight Set)')
			send_command('timers delete "Weakness"')
	end
end

[Johnblaze]

Instead of 'Weakness', try 'weakness' I noticed it was lower case in mote-global.

[Sithel]

Instead of 'Weakness', try 'weakness' I noticed it was lower case in mote-global.

That was it, thank you sir!

[dlsmd]

That was it, thank you sir!

if you want to know the proper name to use for buffs just look in windowerfolder\res\buffs.lua
[1] = {id=1,en="weakness",ja="衰弱",enl="weakened",jal ="衰弱"},
look at the names given here

[Sithel]

Quick question,
Instead of this, which works fine:

enable('ammo','head','neck','ear1','ear2','body','hands','ring1','ring2','back','waist','legs','feet')

Why doesn't something like this work instead, or I assume I got it a bit wrong.

enable('all')

enable('all')

because if you wanted to do that all you need is
send_command(gs enable all)
send_command(gs disable all)

[Sithel]

Ok yea those work. I'm sure you just forgot but you need the ' in there.

send_command('gs enable all')

I just don't like how it shows in the console when I do it that way. If I use the other enable and name out all the pieces of gear to enable then it don't show in the console.

I guess doing it both ways work, but just looks cleaner with it not popping up in the console.

Thanks!

thats true that it shows in the console but as fasr as not being able to use enable('all') bryth would have to add that to gearswap

but if your like me i have my windower setup with the windower command 'console_displayactivity 0' every time i start ffxi

[Hiei]

Thanks Johnblaze, found the issue late last night. When I download the new Cor file I put it on flash drive which is i found out is corrupted, and the file became partly corrupted. I have a habit of downloading things on a flash drive 1st... and it's time for a new one.

I was thinking this morning about how to do something similar with Cor rolls (utility and niche-use rolls that are not used much). I get the part about needing 2 sets to cycle back and forth but would asscioated with the command. Maybe it's the test1, test2, test3, and test_count throwing me off so I can't grasp how to apply the logic of it. Could you give another example using spells or JAs? I use Mote's luas architecture. Could I use this for my basis:

options.UtiliyRollModes = {"Corsair's Roll","Miser's Roll","Monk's Roll","Gallant's Roll","Dancer's Roll","Puppet Roll","Beast Roll","Drachen Roll"}

state.UtiliyRollMode = "Corsair's Roll"

since "gs c cycle UtiliyRollMode" would already go in once direction. How would I fashion a command to use the above to cycling back through the options? Trying to wrap my head around this, sorry to be a bother.

[Nicblue]

Quick question regarding the skillup.lua. All I'm looking to do is have it use pollen over and over, I spent like an hour and half messing with it and alas it will only do it once. If this helps, the char only has one blu spell (lvl 26 atm). I just want to skill up her blue magic while I PL her. Is this possible, lol, I am pretty nub when it comes to these kinds of things. Thanks in advance.
