Gearswap Help Thread!

They are not part of the framework. I convinced him to submit it to the gearswap repository as a gearswap library so he could control the version people were using and ensure everyone was kept up to date.

That said, the lib system is just a tool to do that. It doesn't mean the file is supported and updated with the rest of gearswap

yup ill have to step back on that one your right

i thought about adding mine to it as well but i think several things mine can do will violate windowers acceptance policy(it has several botting type abilitys built in)

Thanks for the help, solved two of the issues. Can't believe I didn't know about that show swaps option. Helps a lot.

1. Deleted the "main=" part and my Idle sets work now. Dumb mistake.
2. Combined the two functions into one and magic bursts work now.
3. I do have Hachirin-no-Obi and Twilight Cape. I tried casting cure on myself on lightsday and I did not swap into them. Tried casting Comet on Darksday and that didn't work either. Put up various weather using /SCH and it did not work.
4. When I try entering the function Shadowmeld wrote into the lua, it will fail to load the file, pointing to the line of the function saying "attempt to index global 'state' (a nil value)"

3. the only reason i can think of why cure wont equip your Hachirin-no-Obi and Twilight Cape is because you have more the 1000 TP(this is what causes it)

    if player.tp > 1000 then
        disable('main','sub')
    elseif (spellMap == 'Cure' or spellMap == 'Curaga') then

also no need to have this(because you dot have anything els to check with it)
(spellMap == 'Cure' or spellMap == 'Curaga')
use
spellMap == 'Cure' or spellMap == 'Curaga'
and for the elemental magic part try changing
equip(sets.midcast.Bonus)
to
equip({waist="Hachirin-no-Obi",back="Twilight Cape"})
4. i wish i knew more about motes includes

[Kincard]

Managed to solve the Obi thing by doing what I was told about earlier again, placing them under the same function as magic bursts and Spaekona Coat. (Also not sure why whoever wrote the lua initially had obis being put on precast rather than midcast for cures) Now I just need to fix the Capacity Toggle thing.

[Shadowmeld]

In the Job_state_change function add the code for the capacity back.

function job_state_change(stateField, newValue, oldValue)
    if stateField == 'Offense Mode' then
        if newValue == 'Normal' then
            disable('main','sub','range')
        else
            enable('main','sub','range')
        end
    elseif stateField == 'Capacity' then
        if newValue == true then
            equip({back="Capcity Cape Name"})
            disable('back')
        else
            enable('back')
        end
    end
end

Please forgive me if this has been answered before or if I am oblivious of the obvious, but...

My issue is that binds are not unbinding with the send_command('unbind [modifier][key]') code within a function file_unload() function. I have googled "ffxi gearswap unbind" and I didn't find any talk on this when filtering results within the last year and so I figured it'd be safe to ask this question without running the risk that it has been answered already. I figure that the fact that I'm the only one asking this probably means that I'm overlooking something silly that I've done that has broken this function for me specifically.

Here is the code I am using.

send_command('bind @t input /echo testing unbind code')
		
function file_unload()
    if binds_on_unload then
        binds_on_unload()
    end
	send_command('unbind @t')
	
end

That is in my whm.lua. My debug method is to type //gs l whm.lua ingame to update the lua, then I type //gs l sch.lua to unload the whm.lua (//gs u and //gs u whm.lua both give me "GearSwap: Command not found"), and then I press windowskey+t (@ refers to the windowskey) to see if the unbind worked. The result is that "input /echo testing unbind code" executes; which tells me that the unbind failed horribly.

Has this function stopped working recently or am I just doing something silly that has broken it for me?

Thanks!

are you using motes include??
if so you should put that in
user_unload() not file_unload()
other wise i have no idea why it does not work

Hmm, that's not working for me either I'll put below the two functions I've tried. I simplified the code as far as making the results easily visible ingame. If the unloads work an /echo will display; it never displays.

send_command('input /echo Test loading code')  --works, doesn't need to be tested but whatever--
		
function file_unload()
	send_command('input /echo Test unload code') --broken--
end

send_command('input /echo Test loading code') --works, doesn't need to be tested but whatever--
		
function user_unload()
	send_command('input /echo Test unload code') --broken--
end

Here is my whm.lua. Hopefully it helps figure out what's going wrong.

Hmmm, I've taken a look at the unload function in my blu.lua, which doesn't use mote include. I know the function works because the itemizer code executes that puts away my gear. The unbinds, however, are not working! Here is the relevant code. I'm getting more and more lost as to what my problem is; "//unbind @t" works ingame but something's going wrong here.

send_command('bind @t input /echo Test code for windowskey + t')

function file_unload()
    if binds_on_unload then
        binds_on_unload()
    end
	send_command('unbind @t')
	send_command('unbind !%numpad.')
	send_command('unbind ^%numpad.')
--<itemizer>--
-- Satchel --
send_command('input //put "Hippo. socks +1" satchel')
-- Sack
send_command('input //put "Tempered cape +1" sack')
-- Case --
send_command('input //put "Tanmogayi +1" case')
send_command('input //put "Vampirism" case')
send_command('input //put "Colada" case')
--</itemizer--
end

Hmm, that's not working for me either I'll put below the two functions I've tried. I simplified the code as far as making the results easily visible ingame. If the unloads work an /echo will display; it never displays.

i wonder if gearswaps send_command is broken???

varify that the function is running with(print directly to windower console)
print("Test")
then try the windower command directly
windower.send_command('input /echo Test unload code')

[Roland_J]

I believe that gearswap's send_command is fine as I use it for assigning all of my binds. The binds get assigned and function fine. I just can't unbind them at the moment.

Is the "if binds_on_unload then binds_on_unload()" code any good? I don't remember where I found that code but I think it was intact in one of the job.luas that I found and so I've always included it in the function ever since. I'm not sure what it even does.

I'd run that print test for you but I don't know how to activate that test mode. Please check my post previous to this one; I added a portion on how the unload code in my blu.lua is functioning in a strange way.

yes this code is correct

if binds_on_unload then
    binds_on_unload()
end

but if you want to varify that it goes past that run a test like

function file_unload()
    print("file_unload function start")
    if binds_on_unload then
        print("binds_on_unload start")
        binds_on_unload()
        print("binds_on_unload end")
    end
    print("file_unload function end")
end

if you do not see eather test1 or test2 then the functions is not running
if you see test1 but not test2 in the windower console then that would be ware its getting stuck(should also show an geaswap error in the console)
if you see both test1 and test2 then its fine

this is a basic way to find logic bugs in every language

I see what was probably causing most of my problem. "//gs l otherjob.lua" does not count as an unload of the currentjob.lua D: Testing these unload functions while changing jobs in my MH is providing successful unload code. lol, I figured from the start that I was just doing something silly >< I just had to figure out what it was

Thanks for all the help dlsmd ^^

I'm trying to include Mote-TreasureHunter.lua in my blu.lua. In the help text at the top of that .lua mote states "Place this in ... get_sets() function if your job file isn't based on my includes." My blu.lua isn't based at all on mote's files and so I'm putting it in my get_sets().

What happens when I try to load the blu.lua with "include('Mote-TreasureHunter')" in the get_sets() is that the following error message appears.

"...dower4\/addons/GearSwap/libs/Mote-TreasureHunter.lua:45: attempt to call global 'M' (a nil value)"

Hmmm.... idk lol. I deleted the M and then it moved on to call an error on line 52 of the TH lua. I can't keep deleting stuff else I'll prob break the lua. (deleting the M probably broke it too lol)

Also, does the length of my job.lua and everything "include('ed in it')" contribute very greatly to the stability and/or strain put on my computer by ffxi? My blu.lua is 1200 lines, 54,999 characters, but that's prob comparable to other luas once you add up all the lines and characters added to a .lua by include('Mote-Include.lua'). My laptop is pretty weak and sometimes ffxi gets pretty unstable. I wonder if it's sometimes because of gearswap.

use include('Mote-SelfCommands')
and change your selfcommand to job_self_command(commandArgs, eventArgs

ofcorse you need to put TreasureHunter back to normal

my include has everything below not including job file(the one that holds your gear per job) so i dont think you should have an issue (it will just use more memory)
my comp is a dual core 2.9 ghz with 6 gigs of ram and can over heat fast(stupid HP)

I've tried adding both

include('Modes')
include('Mote-SelfCommands')
include('Mote-TreasureHunter')

and

include('Modes.lua')
include('Mote-SelfCommands.lua')
include('Mote-TreasureHunter.lua')

and I changed my

function self_commands() to function job_self_command(commandArgs, eventArgs)

and it still gives me the error "...dower4\/addons/GearSwap/libs/Mote-TreasureHunter.lua:45: attempt to call global 'M' (a nil value)"

I've discussed this with dlsmd in PMs and we're out of ideas. Does anyone else know what I need to do? Thanks!

Can anyone tell me what to add to my gearswaps to make Trust magic work with my precast/midcast rules? Appreciate it.

Can anyone tell me what to add to my gearswaps to make Trust magic work with my precast/midcast rules? Appreciate it.

Put this, with the sets code replaced with w/e your fc set is named, within your precast and possibly also midcast. Precast alone will be enough if your lua doesn't have a default midcast for everything not defined that is something other than fastcast gear.

	elseif spell.type == "Trust" then
		equip(sets.Precast.FastCast)

You probably know this already but your iLvl upon casting isn't what affects your trusts strength; your current iLvl is what affects it. Their level will fluctuate up and down as you do your gear swaps during play and so all the only thing that proves efficient to be in the precast/midcast is fast cast gear, regardless of what iLvl your fast cast set is, pretty much; for the purpose of both cast and recast reduction.
