Gearswap Help Thread!

[JSHidaka]

the "bigger picture" was in the post #430, w/ the link of the file, but either way, Just got online, since saw that something got updated in the launcher decide to test it again, and "magically" it was working, same code as this morning... so I guess was some bug that got fixed.

[Byrthnoth]

Arcon was in the middle of updating the LuaCore API on -dev when the update hit, so he changed half of it back and pushed it. When he did that, he passed the LuaCore status change event a capitalized version of the statuses (BOOST instead of Boost), etc. I fixed it last night in GearSwap.

Is there a simple function for if MP is at a certain point, then do something?

For example, if engaged and MP = 100 or higher then equip Oneiros Ring or else equip what ever TP set is active.

Also, a simple global toggle to just toggle back and fourth from Ochain and Aegis?

[Eastaran]

I'm not auto-switching back to my engaged TP set after WS on Mote's PUP lua right now. Anybody else having this issue?

It switches fine after JAs and everything else. Just not after Weapon Skills...

In the excel files "variables" there is a list. Saw Player.MP so I guess should work like this

function status_change(new,old)
	if new == 'Engaged' then
		if player.mp > 100 then
		     equip(left_ring="Oneiros Ring")
		end
	end
end

for the shield thing.. I would make it like this:

function self_command(command)
		if command == 'Shield' then
			if sets.shield == shield.aegis then
					equip(shield.ochain)
					sets.shield = shield.ochain
					send_command('@input /echo Ochain Equipped')

			else
				equip(shield.aegis)
				sets.shield = shield.aegis
				send_command('@input /echo Aegis Equipped')
			end
	end
end

set.shield = {}
shield = {}
shield.aegis = {sub="Aegis"}
shield.ochain = {sub="Ochain"}
set.shield = shield.ochain << "Default Shield"...

in game macro would be "/console gs c Shield"

something like that... others ppl might have other solutions

Don't know if anyones mentioned it Motenten, but your newer files have "Ctrl =" bind in the Mote-Globals, and this overwrites your THF.lua TH toggle within the file, i fixed this for myself but thought you might want to change one of the two.

Ah, yep. The global binds should be done before the local ones, so that the local ones override. Will fix those.

[Motenten]

Fix pushed.

Any simple way to track recast in gearswap? Or grab the ability id via spell name quickly?

[Motenten]

Any simple way to track recast in gearswap?

	-- returns strategems recast in seconds.
	local currentRecast = windower.ffxi.get_ability_recasts(231)

Or grab the ability id via spell name quickly?

Not offhand.

[kenshyn]

Cool thanks now to dig up the id's.....

[JSHidaka]

Cool thanks now to dig up the id's.....

like a file that could have all those IDs and Abilities...
...something like the file abil.xml in the resources folder might help..

I finally found some time to mess around with drg. Restoring breath is now work, but I can't seem to get magic to trigger at 50% HP. I'm not sure which variable is wrong. The only error I get is "GearSwap: Lua error (runtime) - table index is nil"
It's probably:

http://pastebin.com/YRwS4jfG

function job_midcast(spell,act)
  if spell.type:find('Magic') then -- Should handle white/black/blue magic as an example
    if player.hpp < 51 then
      equip(sets.HB.Pre)
    end
  end
end

Every other thing I have tried out so once Healing Breath properly triggers, this lua will finally be done. Any support and hints would be greatly appreciated:
Side note: this lua is still based on Mote's before he introduced the side cars, will move to that once I have all the kinks figured out.

[Motenten]

Keyoku:

You define job_midcast twice. Move the stuff from your version at the bottom to the one already defined above. Might as well move job_pet_midcast up there as well, to group it with the other similar functions.

You're not doing anything in job_pet_aftercast that isn't handled by the default. Just remove it. (note: if this was to fix the issue with gear sets being left on after weaponskills, I've found the problem causing that, and hopefully the fix should be pushed soon)

You can use spell.english:startswith('Healing Breath') and spell.english:endswith('Magic') for faster comparisons.

You left in the conversion from GK weaponskills to polearm weaponskills from the source sam file. Just take that out.

You left in state.Buff values from sam. Take them out. Can also remove the job_aftercast and buff_change code that sets those values (and remove those functions entirely, since they'll be empty after that).


Edit: Also, not sure why it should be hitting your file (given what's in your code), but that error sounds like one that's been cropping up due to the broken day/weather element stuff. May not be anything you can directly do.

noob to gs, been using mote's nin.lua, wondering if there is any way for it to recognize getting a sv march to put me into the 0 dw set (gs recognizes 2march/haste), or would i need to add a toggle for that?

[Motenten]

You'd have to toggle that. There's no way of telling the potency of the marches you've got (instrument level, soul voice, etc).

[keseasura]

ok thats what i thought, kinda dumb question but i thought i would at least ask before doing so

[Eastaran]

So I've set up sidecar loads for all of my jobs now. If I'm understanding it correctly, I can just copy Motes versions straight into mine when he updates, leaving his sets and such and they won't get loaded?

If so, that's awesome!

[Motenten]

@Eastaran: Yes, that's correct.

Also, a small modification to how includes are handled has been pushed to dev. Includes no longer need the table wrapper, making them less confusing to set up. Anyone dealing with includes (which will be all of my standard includes, plus all the sidecar includes) can get rid of the extra namespace marker.

So instead of:

local MoteInclude = {}
function MoteInclude.init_include()
  -- include stuff
end

return MoteInclude

You'd just have:

function init_include()
  -- include stuff
end

I haven't pushed the updates to all my files with this change, yet, since this isn't out on live. If you're on dev, you'll want to adjust your files for that.

[Keyoku]

Cleaned out all the old bits from SAM as per your advice, Mote, and changed the code around a bit. Once your newest fix is out, I'll port it to that, but for now... I still can't get it to equip Vishap Armet. The full lua is here: http://pastebin.com/vVEiJkmd
the relevant code I'm not sure about:

function job_midcast(spell, action, spellMap, eventArgs)
	if spell.action_type == 'Magic' then
		equip(sets.midcast.FastRecast)
	end
	if spell.english:endswith('Magic') then 
    if player.hpp < 51 then
      equip(sets.HB.Pre) -- which is: sets.HB.Pre = {head="Vishap Armet"}
    end
  end
end

Once I get down to the 33% threshold, it'll use the appropriate set for Healing Breath, so that part works, just triggering it at 49% is refusing to work.
