Gearswap Help Thread!

In user_setup, state.HybridMode.options should be state.HybridMode:options (colon, not period).

Ah ha! I've clearly been staring at this too long. Thanks man, that fixes it.

@Mote
can you help me with this
this is the bug report i made but im not sure if it actualy a bug https://github.com/Windower/Lua/issues/1038
i also found a work around but it sucks because i had to modify gearswap's code
if you think you can come up with a way to do this with out modifying gearswap i would like to know

Unfortunately, that's not fixable without adjusting GearSwap itself. It's somewhat poor code flow in that instance.

thats what i thought

I can't get my ACC gearswap to work while engaged.

sets.engaged.acc = {
head="Lithelimb Cap",neck="Peacock Amulet",ear1="Dudgeon Earring",ear2="Heartseeker Earring",
body="Thaumas Coat",hands="Plunderer's armlets",ring1="Epona's Ring",ring2="Yacuruna ring",
back="Kayapa cape",waist="Phasmida Belt",legs="Pillager's Culottes +1",feet="Plunderer's Poulaines +1"}

I was under the impression you set ^ to your ACC gear and then press F9 to toggle offense mode to ACC. Only it doesn't change it.

edit:

Nvm friend helped me it's because I didn't have the A in acc capitalized sets.engaged.Acc = { worked

Switched to Mote's new LUA versions last night and I'm noticing the ammo slot on my MNK isn't swapping. I haven't tested/noticed yet on any other jobs.

Has anyone else encountered this? I haven't changed the code in any way.

Thanks!

@Mote
I upgraded all my jobs to v2 as recommended, however alhought the pup lua will load, it gives 2 error from modes.lua and flow.lua just by change the job to pup.
any ideas? Thanks.

Fixed pup and pushed to the repo. It needed to set pet mode to 'None' if there was no pet.

Also fixed the Modes lib to generate a proper error if something like that happens again, so it makes more sense. (dev-only at the moment)

I never encountered this problem in my debugging period. I'd need more info to track down the issue.

are you using ammo like a bolt,arrow,throwing item that runs out if so it a geaswap bug when you run out of ammo it thinks that you still have ammo in the ammo slot
the only way i found to fix it was to check to see if my invitory was with out the ammo then set ammo to empty and use item pack the reequip the item

It's not any of the above. Iron Gobbet, Potestas Tathlum & similar are affected.

@Mote
Is there anything I can provide that will help, like my LUA file?

Edit: Game crashed and upon logging in again, it's now working. Must've been a bug.

Thanks for the fix. I have another question.
i have a refine_cure function in the mote-uility.lua, and everytime there's an update, I need to recopy the entire function again. is there any sidecar for those? thanks.

Hi everyone,

First, thanks for all the great people on this board. I have learned a lot about gearswap going through this thread. I am not a programmer even a little so this has been a challenge made much easier! Thx

I finished making a precast sequence for RNG, I wanted to post for feedback... i am using RNG with the autoRA addon and trying to make ranger as low maintenance as possible. Feel free to criticize my coding ability mercilessly!

function job_precast(spell, action, spellMap, eventArgs)

	if state.DefenseMode.value ~= 'None' then
		-- Don't gearswap when Defense is active.
		eventArgs.handled = true
	end
	if midaction() then
		-- Cancel AutoRA mode if trying to use a JA
		if spell.type == 'JobAbility' or spell.type == 'WeaponSkill' then
			send_command('ara stop')
			add_to_chat(122, ''..spell.english..' attemped usage during ranged attack. ---------> AutoRA stopped')		
			cast_delay(4)
			return
		end
	else  -- Only perform any additional precast function if midaction() is false...
		
		if spell.action_type == 'Ranged Attack' or (spell.skill == 'Marksmanship' or spell.skill == 'Archery') then
			
			local recasts = windower.ffxi.get_ability_recasts()
			
			check_ammo(spell, action, spellMap, eventArgs)
			
			-- Make sure velocity shot and decoy shot is up		
			if not buffactive['Velocity Shot'] and recasts[129] < 1 then
				send_command('input /ja "Velocity Shot" <me>')
				cast_delay(1)
			end
			if not buffactive['Decoy Shot'] and AutoDecoy and recasts[52] < 1 then
				send_command('input /ja "Decoy Shot" <me>')
				cast_delay(1)
				end

			-- Cancel Ranged Abilities that are out of range
			if spell.type == 'WeaponSkill' and player.target.distance > 20.9 then
				cancel_spell()
				send_command('input /echo <----- Cancelled weapon skill! Target out of range ----->')
				return
			elseif player.target.distance > 25.9 then
				cancel_spell()
				send_command('input /echo <----- Cancelled ranged attack! Target out of range ----->')
				return		
			elseif spell.type == 'WeaponSkill' then  
				return
			-- Remaining conditions pertain to ranged attacks only	
			-- Automatically use WS if in Auto WS mode
			elseif player.tp >= 1000 and state.AutoWSMode.value == 'Auto' then
				cancel_spell()
				if player.equipment.range == 'Annihilator' then
					send_command('input /ws "Coronach" <t>')
				elseif player.equipment.range == "Hgafircian +2" or player.equipment.range == "Lionsquall" then
					send_command('input /ws "Last Stand" <t>')
				else
					send_command('input /ws "Jishnu\'s Radiance" <t>')
				end
				return
			end

			state.CombatWeapon:set(player.equipment.range)
		end
		
		-- Change Seigan To Third Eye If Seigan Is On
		if spell.english == "Seigan" and buffactive.Seigan then
			cancel_spell()
			send_command('input /ja Third Eye <me>')
			return
		end
	end
end	

function job_aftercast(spell, action, spellMap, eventArgs)

	if player.target.name ~= nil then
		if spell.type == "WeaponSkill" and state.AutoWSMode.value == 'Auto' and player.target.hpp > 1 and not state.Buff.Barrage then
		send_command('@wait 3.5; input /range <t>')
		end
	end
end

Two questions I have in general:

If you want to precast some JAs, should you put cast_delay() before or after the inserted send_command? can you theoretically stack like 5 JAs infront of a Weaponskill just from a single precast event?

Is there a code that looks like this: if player.equipment.main.type == 'Marksmanship' ? or some other way to determine what type of weapon u have equipped?

Thanks

Hmmm I have a for lazy ppl rng lua(that I use when multiboxing a RNG job) http://pastebin.com/TV7EkJcf most likely is the same that you have,
for precast "JA's" since I have then to activate depending if a variable is on/off, when you try to RA, if they are 5 JA that can be activated before it shoots, it will activate all of them, coz how I have the code is

if spell.name == Range (check recast/variable on/off etc...) then... activate JA I want wait a sec, /ra again, so it will check again if spell.name == range... check if any ability need to activate then shoot...

the only thing I wouldn't use is " midaction() " sadly it have an issue that if a packet is lost you will be locked for few secs (unlikely to happen.. but it does and will be in the worst scenario you can think)

[Tinuviel]

Is there an alternative approach to the midaction() check? It seemed a very good way to prevent erroneous gear changes midcast if you are mashing keys (yeah i do this sometimes) XD

[JSHidaka]

not really, even the workaround to midaction have the same issue of packet loss..

but a workaround to stop spamming macros, In my lua I have an addtochat for WS and JA's activations, so I know If I see the text, the macro went
