Gearswap Help Thread!

[dlsmd]

i have a question for the public
does anybody want to see every thing exposed by gearswap?? mind you one of the files is varry large

[Speedy]

New error found, on whm.lua only so far. Happens when I try to toggle Kiting on.

/Mote-SelfCommands.lua:190: Can only toggle a boolean mode.

Any thoughts?

[Draylo]

Having an issue with my gearswap. When I cast spells the first time it swaps properly, then I'll wait like 2 seconds and cast the same spell again and it seems to not equip everything because it does lower dmg, and then I cast it a third time and it does even lower damage. I know its not resists because I'm doing it on low level mobs and the dmg drop is pretty consistent when hitting all mobs in an AOE.

Cannot replicate. Please pastebin your version of the job file, and note any modifications you've made to it.

Upon realizing it was now occurring on all jobs, I narrowed it down to what they all share in common, and that's my personal globals file.
It appears there was a character deleted in send_command('bind ^f11 gs c toggle Kiting'), to which I fixed it.

Thanks for getting my head scratching Mote!

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

The workaround dlsmd and JSH developed together is a good compromise.
You still get locked occasionally because of packetloss, but the lock lasts just a fraction of seconds, whereas with the Midaction() thing it lasts several seconds.


Actually you've reminded me I still have to implement and test the "on screen var display" lines of code that dlsmd shared the other day >.> been lazy...

[dlsmd]

in case your wondering what the code for midaction fix is
function midcast ()
casting = true
coroutine.schedule(function () casting = false end, (spell.cast_time/4+.5))
...
end
function aftercast ()
...
casting = false
end

just check for

if casting then
cancel_spell()
return
end

dunno if this is a windower or gearswap problem: since the update, no gearswap happens when casting haste 1, dunno if haste 2 is affected too

you are checking for them with "Haste" or "Haste II"

[Damane]

you are checking for them with "Haste" or "Haste II"

if spell.english == 'Haste'

this has worked pre update now its not, other swaps working fine

can add erase to that list too

same applies to cursna


doesnt even swap precast Fastcast set on those spells. which is labeled with:

if spell.action_type = 'Magic'
then
equip blabla
end

use gs debug_mode and see if the spell is being sent to filtered

if not try this

put this in the function that your trying to find the data
i.e.
function precast(spell)
add_to_chat(7,"spell.name="..tostring(spell.name))
...
end

it will out put to chat the spells name

there seems to be an issue with dualboxing it seems. my RUN.lua wasnt working so i reloaded gearswap, this made my mule gearswaps on GEO not work, so i reloaded that one, which broke again my RUN.lua

now both are working again, i have no idea wtf is going on ._. unloading gearswap totally and reloading it fixed it for now

is there a generic name for roll buffs or can they only be defined by using the specific name?

buffactive["Corsair's Roll"] works if i have corsair's roll on, but i'd prefer to be able to use a generic term for having any roll active.

[Byrthnoth]

RollActive=false
for I,v in pairs(buffactive) do
    if find(I," Roll") then
        RollActive= true
        break
    end
end

[vm0d]

RollActive=false
for I,v in pairs(buffactive) do
    if find(I," Roll") then
        RollActive= true
        break
    end
end

function customize_idle_set(idleSet)
	RollActive = false
	for I,v in pairs(buffactive) do
		if find(I," Roll") then
			RollActive = true
			break
		end
	end
	
    if RollActive then
        idleSet = set_combine(idleSet, sets.roll)
    elseif buffactive['Sanction'] then
        idleSet = set_combine(idleSet, sets.sanction)
    end
    return idleSet
end

using the generic whm.lua file

is returning an error "attempt to call global 'f..." which goes off my screen so i can't read what the rest of it says.

i have no idea where to put the RollActive function in the file.

Hi dlsmd, do I understand correctly... should I be adding the above code to my job file in order to use the midcast()?

Thanks

[Sechs]

No, this code works kinda as an alternative to Midcast().
It won't avoid the packet loss issue, but it will have reduced consequences when that happens, since the amount of time you get "locked" after a packet loss will be dynamic (depending on the spell's cast time) and not fixed.


Oh btw, now that I think about it, dlsmd I think I had to modify some things in those lines to make it work, but forgot to tell you.
First, I had to put the first part into precast and not midcast, or it wouldn't stop from equipping precast gear.
Second, I had to modify something else because otherwise it would produce an error if you attempted to use a WS or a JA (they have no spell.cast_time in the related table).
I don't remember what I changed... I think something making the rule work only for spell.prefix = "/magic" or something like that.
I can watch my lua when I get back home.

function job_setup()
    PhantomRoll = S{"Fighter's Roll", "Monk's Roll", "Healer's Roll", "Wizard's Roll", "Warlock's Roll", "Rogue's Roll",
        "Gallant's Roll", "Chaos Roll", "Beast Roll", "Choral Roll", "Hunter's Roll", "Samurai Roll", "Ninja Roll",
        "Drachen Roll", "Evoker's Roll", "Magus's Roll", "Corsair's Roll", "Puppet Roll", "Dancer's Roll", "Scholar's Roll",
        "Bolter's Roll", "Caster's Roll", "Courser's Roll", "Blitzer's Roll", "Tactician's Roll", "Allies' Roll",
        "Miser's Roll", "Companion's Roll", "Avenger's Roll"}	

	state.Buff.PhantomRoll = buffactive.PhantomRoll or false
end

what am i doing wrong here?

[Motenten]

what am i doing wrong here?

What are you doing at all there?

[vm0d]

i want something to return a true result with a cor roll effect active.
