There is an unquantified bonus to MACC from day/weather proc as well, yes.

Playing with Obis vs 124-126 Woh gate mobs for hours and toying around with different days / weather my [ATTENTION EYEBALL RIDILL INCREASED DROPRATE MATH] impression is that it gives streight up 10 MACC per weather / day and 25 MACC for double weather. I have no idea if twilight cape also adds more MACC.

Feels like all we know about magic accuracy us eyeball ridill droprate math.

Tier 6 works for my BLM and the relevant changes are live. If your JP spells do not work, delete windower/updates/ and rerun launcher.

I deleted that file (wouldn't let me delete temp, so I skipped it) ran launcher, it downloaded stuff, and it's not working in-game. Hit //update, unloaded gearswap and reloaded, unloaded all addon/plugins, hit //update, loaded them again, etc. Still not swapping to casting gear. Any idea?

So, I wanted to move back to the live version from dev. Moved to dev so I could cast TVs. So I needed to deal with this to go back.

Tried the suggested steps, and no good.

so, I looked at my resources, and the dev resources, and found that they were different in regards to TVs(T6 were the same though)

My Resources on live ver.

[148] = {id=148,en="Fire V",ja="ファイアV",cast_time=10,element=0,icon_id=244,icon_id_nq=8,levels={[4]=86,[20]=91},mp_cost=240,prefix="/magic",range=12,recast=45,recast_id=148,requirements=4,skill=36,targets=32,type="BlackMagic"},

dev ver.

[148] = {id=148,en="Fire V",ja="ファイアV",cast_time=7.5,element=0,icon_id=244,icon_id_nq=8,levels={[4]=86,[5]=100,[20]=91,[21]=100},mp_cost=228,prefix="/magic",range=12,recast=45,recast_id=148,requirements=4,skill=36,targets=32,type="BlackMagic"},

So, it seems like my resources weren't updating correctly. So I deleted Windower4\res\spells.lua and the updates folder, then ran the launcher.

After that the tier V entries matched, and it let me cast them on GEO in game.

Trying to edit a user file so that all I need to do is add the set in each of my sidecar files for equipping a Mecistopins Mantle when hitting a toggle key. I really don't know how to do this at all and could really use some help as I've been scratching my head for over 2 hours copying/pasting bits from various files and from other online examples and hoping something might work but with no luck and now I have less code than when I started and no idea if I'm maybe missing something important or having renamed the functions incorrectly.

So far with the below example I've noticed if I have the keybinds set in the user globals then nothing happens, but if it's in the sidecar file itself then I get the following error:

Spoiler: show

Mote-Libs: Toggle: Unknown field [CapacityPoints]

Spoiler: show

-- Global intercept on midcast.
function user_post_midcast(spell, action, spellMap, eventArgs)
if buffactive['Reive Mark'] and (spell.skill == 'Elemental Magic' or spellMap == 'Cure' or spellMap == 'Curaga') then
equip(sets.reive)
end
end

function user_customize_idle_set(idleSet)
if buffactive['Reive Mark'] then
idleSet = set_combine(idleSet, sets.reive)
end
if state.CapacityPoints.value then
idleSet = set_combine(idleSet, sets.CapacityMantle)
end
return idleSet
end

-- Test for Capacity Mantle
function user_customize_setup()
send_command('bind @` gs c toggle CapacityPoints')
end

function user_customize_unload()
send_command('unbind @`')
end

function user_customize_job_setup()
state.CapacityPoints = M(false, 'Capacity Point Mantle')
end

function user_customize_melee_set(meleeSet)
if state.CapacityPoints.value then
meleeSet = set_combine(meleeSet, sets.CapacityMantle)
end
return meleeSet
end
-- End test for Capacity Mantle

Edit: Oh my gosh, nevermind! I found out what I was doing wrong all this time. There was no such thing as user_job_setup, user_customize_setup or user_customize_unload. I'm still not sure what to do to rectify this as I suspect renaming user_job_setup will screw up a lot of other things and having the keybindings set in the user globals still doesn't work for some reason, so for the time being I've just copied/pasted those separately into each sidecar and so far it works like that. I'm sure I'll figure out eventually how to make it work globally without having to copy/paste the same lines into each sidecar, but if someone can help me I'd be very grateful.

'function user_*' go into your personal Globals file. Globals is an optional file that contain utility checks which affect all your job.lua files (it's global get it?).

If you don't have a Globals file then, to create one, name it (Yourcharactername-Globals.lua (example: Quixacotl-Globals.lua).

Here's an example how to use Mecisto Mantle for all your jobs when trusts are out in SOA areas. I'm sure you can incorporate a toggle switch.

    end

    return idleSet
end

function user_customize_melee_set(meleeSet)
    if is_trust_party() and areas.Adoulin:contains(world.area) then

@Martel - Twice I've deleted spells.lua, deleted my updates folder and ran launcher. Unloaded everything, reloaded//update, etc. and still not getting it right.

I did something similar to that, but I was making mine a toggle key rather than force it specifically when entering SoA zones since there's zones besides SoA you can gain capacity points. I may make it just force it when zoning into SoA zones though since I doubt the capacity points outside SoA are worth it. I haven't tried fighting those mobs yet mentioned on the wiki so I don't know what they give and whether an extra 35% on those mobs matters or not.

Order of gearswapping when wyvern activates breath right after my WS is screwed up. 50% of the time i swap to petmidcast as pet is readying breath, 50% it swaps to petmidcast after breath fires and im stuck meleeing in glassblower belt and shit. Never had this issue before, dunno if anything changed.
My code is:

function pet_midcast(spell,action)
        if string.find(spell.english,'Healing Breath*') then
                equip(sets.Pet['WyvernHP'])
				elseif spell.english:wcmatch('*Breath') then
				 equip(sets.Pet['ElementalBreath'])
        end
end
 
function pet_aftercast(spell,action)
        status_change(player.status)
end
 
function pet_change(pet,gain)
        status_change(player.status)
end

What's supposed to happen is:

1) Hit Stardiver macro
2) Gearswap puts on Stardiver WS-precast set
3) Stardiver goes off
4) Gearswap puts on my aftercast
5) Wyvern readies Flame Breath
6) Gearswap puts on sets.Pet['ElementalBreath']
7) Breath fires off
8) Gearswap puts on my aftercast again

Instead, what's happening some of the time is:

1) Hit Stardiver macro
2) Gearswap puts on Stardiver WS-precast set
3) Stardiver goes off
4) Gearswap puts on my aftercast
5) Wyvern readies Flame Breath
7) Breath fires off
6) Gearswap puts on sets.Pet['ElementalBreath']
7) Meleeing in breath gear still


Seems to work inconsistently,but it worked extremely well >95% of the time a few patches ago when I last played DRG. Dunno if its due to lag that its kinda wonky now.

try using this instead
spell.english:startswith('Healing Breath')
spell.english:contains('Breath')
it could be that
string.find(spell.english,'Healing Breath*')
spell.english:wcmatch('*Breath')
is just not fast enuf

[Ophannus]

I tried:

spell.english:contains('*Breath')
instead of
elseif spell.english:wcmatch('*Breath')

And it doesnt even attempt to equip my breath set, as confirmed by Showswaps.

[Ophannus]

So this is what's supposed to happen(notice damage)
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y15...pscopfc7mw.png


And this is what it' doing like 50% of the time
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y15...psgn6ezaki.png


Is there a pet-precast or something that may buy me a few more milliseconds? Or are they sent out on the same packet?

[dlsmd]

I tried:

spell.english:contains('*Breath')
instead of
elseif spell.english:wcmatch('*Breath')

And it doesnt even attempt to equip my breath set, as confirmed by Showswaps.

not
spell.english:contains('*Breath')
use this
spell.english:contains('Breath')
the * is not needed here

so is it not going into pet aftercast

[Ophannus]

When i get the 428 breaths it isnt going into pet aftercast, and therefore I'm stuck sitting in breath gear until the next time i do an action or lose/receive a buff. When I get the 556 breaths, i go into pet_aftercast fine. Petaftercast is my normal melee set.

[Ophannus]

I tried your version with the change and it switches the same as the wcmatch*breath. Maybe it's just lag or something :/
Frustrating cuz I'm carrying around this breath gear and I want it to work when I WS. I know its only like 120ish damage difference but over the course of a long fight, it adds up, especially when I'm wsing every 1-2s.

the only thing i can think of is its a dropped packet (this happens and there is nothing we can do about it as far as we know)

[Trumpy]

Possibly for temporary fix you can use the WS aftercast to put on breath stuffs. then maybe it will switch in time. not sure bout the aftercast of breath tho. does wyvern ALWAYS do breath after a WS? My drg is 10.

Re-downloading a new spells.lua wasn't working, so I just went in and added: ",[21]=99" to each tier V spell in there and it works now.

[gargurty]

In wat file is that, cos mine still not working. Also i have no clue where i is in kinematics files.

[Kanriel]

windower4/res/spell.lua it has each spell listed on its own line, and one part of the line is about jobs and the level they learn them. So [21]=99 would be Geomancer (21st job) learns it at 99.

[gargurty]

tried it, but not working for me

[Quixacotl]

tried it, but not working for me

You have to go to Windower4/res/spells.lua.

Go through every Tier 5 spell and literally edit this: [4]=(n), [21]=(n) to this [4]=99, [21]=99.

[4]=(n) is for Rdm (4th job) learned at level (n). [21]=(n) is Geo (21st job) learned at level (n).

[4]=100, [21]=100 won't work.
