Gearswap Help Thread!

@Motenten
I need to help a nooby friend on GS. I tried to give him all the generic information I could and I guided him to how to use your files, where to find your repository etc.
He's asking me other things I have no clue about (how to create sidecar files, where to find a list of commands/hotkeys to cycle and swap through sets and modes etc).
Do you have a generic or specific guide for your files somewhere so I can point him to that?

Is there a way to equip sets based on whether or not you're in a party?

[dlsmd]

just make a rule in status_change(new,old) function
like

function status_change(new,old)
	if party.count > 1 or player.isallymember then
		if new=='Engaged' then
			equip(sets.Engaged_party)
		elseif new=='Idle' then
			equip(sets.Idle_party)
		elseif new=='Resting' then
			equip(sets.Resting_party)
		end
	else
		if new=='Engaged' then
			equip(sets.Engaged)
		elseif new=='Idle' then
			equip(sets.Idle)
		elseif new=='Resting' then
			equip(sets.Resting)
		end
	end
end

Two things:

1. Can you get console errors to print to a log? I swear someone mentioned there was a way to do it, but I can't find it in search for the life of me.
2. Anyone have an example of how to do a custom AM3 timer I could look at? I tried ripping off Sechs's code from a few pages ago, but I'm getting errors and can't currently see what they are due to them getting cut off in the console.

Thanks!

console_log 1 turns it on
console_log 0 turns it off

[Terravcota]

console_log 1 turns it on
console_log 0 turns it off

Thanks! Got it working!

well this is the custom AM3 I made for my brd, put this inside precast, have to change the ws... and check durations(in secs) since if its for mythic it varies

    if spell.english == 'Mordant Rime' then
        amlevel = math.floor(player.tp / 1000)
		amtimer = 0
		if buffactive['Aftermath: Lv.3'] then
			amtimer = 1
			return
			
		elseif amlevel ~= 3 and buffactive['Aftermath: Lv.2'] then
			amtimer = 1
			return
		else                      
			if amlevel == 1 then
				amdur = 270 -- AM 1 Duration

			elseif amlevel == 2 then
				amdur = 120 -- AM 2 Duration

			else
				amdur = 180 -- AM 3 Duration
			end
		end
	end

and put this into your aftercast function

	if not spell.interrupted and spell.english == 'Mordant Rime' and amdur and amdur > 0 and amtimer == 0 then
        am = 'Aftermath: Lv.'..tostring(amlevel)
        send_command('timers d "Aftermath: Lv.1"')
        send_command('timers d "Aftermath: Lv.2"')
        send_command('timers d "Aftermath: Lv.3"')
        send_command('timers c "'..am..'" '..tostring(amdur)..'')
		if amlevel == 3 then
			send_command('wait 150; input /echo 30 secs remaining AM 3 ')		
		end
    end

New user to GearSwap here- quick noobish question: Do I need to go through all of my macros and get rid of all of my windower macro commands? i.e. /console exec WhmCure.txt or can I leave them be in the event GearSwap breaks/will leaving them interfere with GearSwap's functionality?

[dlsmd]

thoes will not effect gearswap but if there are any spellcast command in them it might cause errors to show

[Orestes]

Hey guys, does anyone know if gearswap or windower resources have been updated with Haste II, and Geo-Haste yet? I'm trying to update my haste rules to account for this, but not having any luck. It's been quite a while since these were added, so I figure I must be missing something.

I've looked in buffs.lua, which has a haste with ID 33, and another with ID 580. (is this haste II?) Using buffactive[33] definitely works, but it also returns true when Haste II is applied.

Any ideas?

yes its been added

[Fival]

I don't think gearswap can tell the difference between Haste and Haste 2, i think they share the same buff slot, but i could be wrong.

[JSHidaka]

yea, Haste and Haste II, give same buff(Haste)

[Orestes]

That's unfortunate. I saw there were two Haste's with different ID's and figured it should work.

Can anyone think of another way to achieve this? i.e. Filtering the log, etc.

[dlsmd]

one is haste the other is geo haste

Byrth what's the status fo the Midaction thing we mentioned? I have issues in trying to keep up.
If I recall the issue was that when using Midcast() sometimes you would get locked in your current gear for X seconds and unable to perform any action.

I remember you saying you had to do quite a long and complex reworking of the midcast function, did you manage to find time to start yet?

[Byrthnoth]

Afaik it is done.You need to put:

if midaction() then
return
end

In aftercast.

[Trumpy]

Will that code prevent the lockin out of being able to do anything? Cause when i am trying to sleep things on my mule lately he just stands there sometimes (he doestn appear to be tryin to cure me or anything either) This didnt seem to be a problem til bout 2 weeks ago or so. I suspect its the midaction thing.

[Byrthnoth]

There is nothing in gearswap that will automatically lock you out. If you have a midaction return rule, then it might if midaction doesn't work. AFAIK, the only situation where midaction won't work is when packets are dropped by the server.
