It depends on whether you want to force it to auto-equip that gear when you melee. If so, just define them in your sets.engaged sets (as should be obvious). Of course that doesn't help weapons equipped between fights. For that purpose, there's the OffenseMode value. Default is 'None', in which case weapon slots are unlocked, and will change freely with every spell cast. You can also hit F9 to cycle to 'Normal', in which case weapon slots will be locked until you change out of that mode.

2) how to make a macro to turn Daurdabla on/off.

Lines 10-12 in the comments at the very top of the file tell you how.

And where to list which spells I would use Daurdabla full time.

sets.midcast.<songtype> define what you were for various types of songs. They include gear, mainly, but can also be used for instruments. I don't have any instruments listed there by default because I don't use them anymore.

If you mean, "I always use Goblin Gavotte as a dummy song; how do I ensure Daurdabla is being used?", then just create your macro like this:

Code:

/console gs c set ExtraSongsMode Dummy
/ma "Goblin Gavotte" <me>

gs doesnt notice haste, just 580

Am I doing something wrong?

**Santi** · 2014-09-15 19:07

I changed it to

if buffactive[33] and buffactive[580] then

and it seems to have fixed everything

Using a lightly modified version of the Mote BRD. It was running just fine on Saturday evening.

Tonight when I tried to hit my Dharp hot key, I got this message:

"Mote-Libs: Set: Unknown field [daurdabla]"

Should I try manually updating the libs file, or is there something more sinister going on here?

Thanks for all you do Mote.

**Motenten** · 2014-09-15 20:22

Update your macros/binds to use ExtraSongsMode instead of DaurdablaMode. I changed it because of the confusion that came out of trying to use it with the Terpander.

**Quixacotl** · 2014-09-15 20:40

Okay so I'm trying out Mote's luas as Cor and there seems to be a lib error, possibly in the self commands lib. When I type "//gs c toggle luzaf" as Cor I get the message, "Mote-Libs: Toggle: Unknown field [luzaf]"

Motenten I'm certain you can recreate the error. FYI my lib luas are the latest versions copied at Github yesterday and my Cor Lua is a direct copy of your own (version 2) without edits.

**Suteru** · 2014-09-15 20:46

It's changed to LuzafRing.

**Catwho** · 2014-09-15 20:48

Aha! Okay, changed it to ExtraSongsMode FullLength and I think it's working now.

Thanks for the quick response! Back to BCNMs.

(Did you know SE made a typo with Gendewitha Bliaut +1 that hasn't been fixed in a few patches now? It's Gende. Bilaut +1 in its short form, hehe. Amuses me every time I have to do a find and replace.)

**Quixacotl** · 2014-09-15 20:55

Thanks for the fast reply it worked! I changed the instructions in COR.lua accordingly since the instructions are not up to date.

Hey guys,

I tried posting this over at ffxiah Forums but it got moved to some diffuse dead space so I'll try here aswell

With the addition of the new "Mekira-oto +1", the Gavialis Helm - could it be really nice with some input on how to get this to work properly in Gearswap. I am very familiar with spellcast but putting up new rules in lua is a bit unlikely for me atm. Appreciate any help! And I'm sure this will help others aswell

**Drakko** · 2014-09-15 21:14

OK after a 2 year break which started just when I pretty much had my spellcast dialed in time for me to start learning again... My biggest prob is all of the sample GS things I can find are for Level Waaaaay Higher than mine lol my highest is a 97RDM and my other main is a 77RDM ... I think I've kinda figured out the basics and gotten things switched over (for the most part) to the gear I actually have (need to relearn all that again as well)...

The main question I have is I used to have it so that Spellcast would swap out my staves depending on spell or a group of spells like Dark for cures or corresponding Elemental staves etc... How do I go about setting that up in GS ?? And I did follow the "Dummies Guide to GS" to use the method of two files... Drakko_RDM.lua and Drakko_Gear_RDM.lua .. which of the two would the LUA version of the "IF Then" Statements go in ??

Thanks in advance.. and I have been trying to search for the answer but just keep getting lost with the all the snippets of all the various Q&A that I come across.....

Thank you sir i will try missing with assigned values see if i missed anything Yea I didn't want to remake a AM gear swap but ended up doing a temp until i fix this one.

I haven't tested it but, based on my RUN lua which equips ele obis for Lunge I would do something like this:

Code:

function get_sets()
	sets.WS = {}
	sets.WS = {head="Gavialis Helm", other stuff}
	sets.WS.day = {head="Mekira-oto +1"}

	ws_element = {}
	ws_element.Fire = {'Red Lotus Blade'}
	ws_element.Ice = {'Freezebite'}
	ws_element.Wind = {'Tachi: Jinpu'}
	ws_element.Earth = {'Earth Crusher'}
	ws_element.Lightning = {'Raiden Thrust'}
	ws_element.Water = {}
	ws_element.Light = {'Seraph Blade','Sunburst'}
	ws_element.Dark = {'Shadow of Death'}
end

function precast(spell,action)
	if spell.type == "WeaponSkill" then
		equip(sets.WS)
		if ws_element[world.day_element]:contains(spell.name) then
                        equip(sets.WS.day)
		end
	end
end

Feel free to use/edit my RDM lua if you want. It's relatively basic and easy to edit for novices. pastebin.com/NSfNmsVr

As for the elemental staves for GS you can incorporate something like this:

Code:

function get_sets()
	sets.midcast = {}
	sets.midcast['Enfeebling Magic'] = {main="some default enfeebling staff"}
	sets.midcast['Elemental Magic'] = {main="some default nuking staff"}

	sets.staff = {}
	sets.staff.Fire = {main="Vulcan's Staff"}
	sets.staff.Ice = {main="Aquilo's Staff"}
	sets.staff.Wind = {main="Auster's Staff"}
	sets.staff.Earth = {main="Terra's Staff"}
	sets.staff.Lightning = {main="Jupiter's Staff"}
	sets.staff.Water = {main="Neptune's Staff"}
	sets.staff.Light = {main="Apollo's Staff"}
	sets.staff.Dark = {main="Pluto's Staff"}
end

function midcast(spell)
	if spell.skill == "Enfeebling Magic" then
		equip(sets.midcast['Enfeebling Magic'],sets.staff[spell.element])
	elseif spell.skill == "Elemental Magic" then
		equip(sets.midcast['Elemental Magic'],sets.staff[spell.element])
	end
end

Yep. I actually reported that on the official forums, and the rep -said- that it was supposed to be fixed in the Sept update. Maybe missed the deadline.

Ah, right. I'll update the comments in the cor file.

**Speedy** · 2014-09-16 02:09

Using Mote's THF.lua, for example, how would one set it to use Kuwunga Earring on weaponskills if Madrigal is on? I'm thinking something like:

Code:

if spell.type == 'Weaponskill' and buffactive.Madrigal then
equip({ear1="Kuwunga Earring"})
end

Also, would this go in Job_pretarget or job_precast? (What is the difference?)

@Mote Any plans to include High Haste sets, like the ones found in your NIN.lua, to THF? Would it be as simple as copying the function determine_haste_group()?

Thanks for reading!

Relevant code:

Spoiler: show

e:It equips them both if I hit the macro twice, but on the first try it doesn't change ring1.

Just in case anyone was wondering, this issue was fixed once I took the Fenrir Ring out of my idle set.

**Duvelamilla** · 2014-09-16 10:06

In 1 GS i found that was not Motes it had a command I could put in my macro that would equip Daurdabla it was /console gs c C18, that turned Daurdabla off or on, I'm looking for something like that, but as I can't find in the code where it makes it happen I can't copy it over to Mote.

So I can type in sets.midcast.<'Fowl Abade','Goblin Gavotte',etc etc for all song I want to always use Daurdabla with vs Ghorn?

Yes, that would work, but you'd need spell.type == 'WeaponSkill' (note the capitalization). It would go in job_post_precast.

On the difference between pretarget and precast: Pretarget is before your target has been selected. When you hit a macro and get the little blue targeting arrow and tab around trying to figure out who to cast on? That's the pretarget phase. Once you select your target, you move to the precast phase where you actually start equipping gear.

On high haste sets: The determine_haste_group() function would give you pretty much all you need for that, yes. Still have to define the gear sets to match up, though. Also, I haven't built anything for handling haste vs haste II yet.

This is what I'm doing. Mote already had most of the logic in place for switching elemental belt/gorgets, so I just modified that a bit.

Code:

function is_sc_element_today(spell)
    if spell.type ~= 'WeaponSkill' then
        return
    end

   local weaponskill_elements = S{}:
    union(skillchain_elements[spell.skillchain_a]):
    union(skillchain_elements[spell.skillchain_b]):
    union(skillchain_elements[spell.skillchain_c])

    if weaponskill_elements:contains(world.day_element) then
        return true
    else
        return false
    end

end

Then you can query the function in job_post_precast() (assuming you use Mote's). It will return true if the day is aligned with whichever WS you're using. You'll have to make a set containing just the helm somewhere in init_gear_sets() i.e. sets.WSDayBonus = { head="Gavialis Helm" }

Code:

job_post_precast(spell, action, spellMap, eventArgs)
	if spell.type == 'WeaponSkill' then
            if is_sc_element_today(spell) then
                equip(sets.WSDayBonus)
            end
	end
end

If you want to exclude any WS's or lock it down to only working with certain WS, you'd have to do something like this.

Code:

if spell.type == 'WeaponSkill' then
    if spell.english ~= 'Stardiver' then
        equip(sets.WSDayBonus)
    end
end
