Gearswap Help Thread!

As my title suggests, I'm looking for some Skillup.lua's for GS. Found a very sweet one for all self target skillups but cant seem to find any loops for offensive types other than spellcast. Looking to get a basic tier 1 nuke/aspir1and2/Sleep 1and2 loop to get Dark/Enfeeb/Elemental Capped. Does anyone happen to have such a thing :O?

my skillup.lua was made to conform to windowers rules (i.e. auto skillup in battle would be a bot) how ever there are lots of free tools to auto cast spells during battle

that being said you could build one in to your own gearswap if you wanted to

Yeah, granted I knew how to set such a thing up .

I'm using Mote's COR lua, and while it has something to use for Triple Shot JA and AF3 119 body, it's only during activation and doesn't change any sets. I'd like to get it to change my ranged engaged set to have the AF3 119 body equipped while Triple Shot is up.

Here's my current COR.lua, right now I'm just fulltiming AF3 119 body in my Ranged set but I'd like to use my 119 Relic for Rapid Shot/Recycle.

Here ya go.

function job_setup()
    state.Buff['Triple Shot'] = buffactive['Triple Shot'] or false
end

function init_gear_sets()
    sets.precast.JA['Triple Shot'] = {body="Chasseur's Frac +1"}
    sets.precast.RA = {body="Lak. Frac +1"}
    -- stuff
    sets.buff['Triple Shot'] = {body="Chasseur's Frac +1"}
end

function customize_idle_set(idleSet)
    if buffactive['Triple Shot'] then
        idleSet = set_combine(idleSet, sets.buff['Triple Shot'])
    end
    
    return idleSet
end

function customize_melee_set(meleeSet)
    if buffactive['Triple Shot'] then
        meleeSet = set_combine(meleeSet, sets.buff['Triple Shot'])
    end

    return meleeSet
end

function customize_defense_set(defenseSet)
    if buffactive['Triple Shot'] then
        defenseSet = set_combine(defenseSet, sets.buff['Triple Shot'])
    end

    return defenseSet
end

My Dnc gs recently stopped switching my gear to my engaged sets, abilities and stuff still work and can't seem to figure out why it started doing it.

[Trumpy]

Is there a reason to have binds for both chocobo jig 1 and 2? why not just choco jig 2? By sayin switch to your engaged sets does that mean when you engage a mob, in your aftercast sets if you are engaged, or what? All of the above? you are using a mote include so I cant help you much but I figured clarifying which situations it occurs in might help.

[Falkirk]

It's probably just the superfluous set of {}s around his engaged set.

Hello,

I have a problem with sets.midcast.Pet.Weaponskill for my automaton it does swap equipments (verified by showswaps) but with no effect on weaponskill (+1000 TP), what gives?

no one can help bacause with out the code we cant see whats going on

[Suteru]

Does gear.ElementalRing not work anymore for Zodiac ring? Could've sworn Mote's luas included it. At least on Quick Draw.

it's mote pup lua nothing changed just the gear.

sets.midcast.Pet.Weaponskill = {head="Karagoz Capello", hands="Karagoz Guanti", legs="Karagoz Pantaloni", back={ name="Dispersal Mantle", augments={'STR+4','Pet: TP Bonus+480','"Martial Arts"+17',}}}

it's just that I never realized it didn't work until I got pet: +1000TP from new equipments.

one thing i know for sure is that gearswap does not change gear unless you or your pet does an action and most TP Bonus+ augments/.etc only cause the ws to be as if you have 1000 + augment tp thay do not give you that amount of tp

for what you show in your post when your pet uses a ws it will get the power of 1480 tp (when it ws's at 1000 tp) and the added tp will never show in the display

the test was done with Cannibal Blade which has a fixed dmg that is only modified by TP and automaton melee skill, so adding an extra 1000 TP (480 + 525 from headgear) should be very noticeable and consistent increase, which it didn't.

Showswaps command showed gear change in chat under pet_midcast but it wasn't actually changing in equipment window nor the dmg was increased at all.

its possible that that Cannibal Blade does not accept TP Bonus+ in its augments can you try another ws??

it does
without = 750~ dmg
with = 1250~ dmg

[dlsmd]

it does
without = 750~ dmg
with = 1250~ dmg

then it might have a TP Bonus+ cap or there might be a cap in ffxi for TP Bonus+

[Byrthnoth]

If cannibal blade is quick then the delay between readies and uses may be too fast for midcast swaps to work. Iirc this was also reported with armor shatterer?

Midcast works for avatars because they have a 1.5 second ready time, but even for them my strategy is just to aftercast the command ability in BP gear. Because you do not directly order your pet to use the ability it may not be possible to react quickly enough to use that gear.

[Sechs]

Speaking of which, I really hope you'll manage to find where the recently reported avatar issue comes from

[Byrthnoth]

I honestly do not doubt that it might be the same issue. I bet I log in and my avatar shit swaps just fine.
