Gearswap Help Thread!

[dlsmd]

I love you dlsmd <3

if there is any help you need ill try to assist


also i even figured out how o use all of gearswaps commands from my own functions not started by gearswap
example:

function reg_event.zone_change(new_id,old_id) --zone change event
    reg_event.clear_aggro_count()
    local zones = gearswap.res.zones
    local new_zone = zones[new_id].name
    coroutine.schedule(gearswap.equip_sets:prepare('zone_change',nil,new_zone,zones[old_id].name,cities:contains(new_zone)),(Zone_change_delay or 5))
end
reg_event.zone_change_id = windower.raw_register_event('zone change', reg_event.zone_change)
function zone_change(new,old,city)
    ---------------------------------------
    --new     string    The name of the new zone
    --old     string    The name of the old zone
    --city    boolean   true if new zone is a city
    ---------------------------------------
    --change gear with
    --equip(<setname>)
    ---------------------------------------
    --example: rule (change gear on entering city)
    --if city then
    --  equip(sets.city)
    --end
    ---------------------------------------
    
end

I would really like to understand how job abilities are handled in GS and the proper syntax for checking their status as well as equipping gear based on certain buffs. My RDM set is fairly good at this: handling both Composure (both when cast on me and on others) and Saboteur. I use an external file (Motes Mapping file) to map out all the spells there and then call them within my LUA. Here is how my RDM is setup:

RDM:

function_job_setup:

Spoiler: show

function job_setup()
    state.Buff.Saboteur = buffactive.Saboteur or false
    state.Buff.Composure = buffactive.Composure or false	
	update_active_strategems()
end

function job_post_midcast:

Spoiler: show

function job_post_midcast(spell, action, spellMap, eventArgs)
    if spell.skill == 'Enfeebling Magic' and state.Buff.Saboteur then
        equip(sets.buff.Saboteur)
	elseif spellMap == 'Cure' and spell.target.type == 'SELF' then
            equip(sets.midcast.CureSelf)	
	elseif spell.skill == 'Enhancing Magic' and buffactive.composure and spell.target.type == 'SELF' then
        if spellMap == 'Temper' then
			equip(sets.midcast['Enhancing Magic'].Temper)
		elseif spell.skill == 'Enhancing Magic' and spellMap == 'GainSpells' then
			equip(sets.midcast['Enhancing Magic'].GainSpells)
		elseif spell.skill == 'Enhancing Magic' and spellMap == 'BarSpells' then
			equip(sets.midcast['Enhancing Magic'].BarSpells)	
		elseif spell.skill == 'Enhancing Magic' and spellMap == 'Regen' then
			equip(sets.midcast['Enhancing Magic'].Regen)	
		elseif spell.skill == 'Enhancing Magic' and spellMap == 'Haste' then

			equip(sets.midcast['Enhancing Magic'].Protect)
		elseif spell.skill == 'Enhancing Magic' and spellMap == 'Protect' then
			equip(sets.midcast['Enhancing Magic'].Shell)				
		end
    elseif spell.skill == 'Enhancing Magic' and buffactive.composure and spell.target.type ~= 'SELF' then
        equip(sets.buff.ComposureOther)	
	elseif spellMap == 'Temper' then
			equip(sets.midcast['Enhancing Magic'].Temper)
	elseif spell.skill == 'Enhancing Magic' and spellMap == 'GainSpells' then

	elseif spell.skill == 'Enhancing Magic' and spellMap == 'Protect' then

	elseif spell.skill == 'Enhancing Magic' and spellMap == 'Protect' then
			equip(sets.midcast['Enhancing Magic'].Shell)				
	elseif spell.skill == 'Enhancing Magic' and spellMap == 'EnSpells' then
			equip(sets.midcast['Enhancing Magic'].EnSpells)				
    end
end
 
function job_get_spell_map(spell, default_spell_map)
    if spell.action_type == 'Magic' then
        if spell.skill == 'Enhancing Magic' then
            if spell.english:startswith('En') then
                return 'EnSpells'
            elseif spell.english:startswith('Refresh') then
                return 'Refresh'
            elseif spell.english:startswith('Gain') then
                return 'GainSpells'
            elseif spell.english:startswith('Bar') then
                return 'BarSpells'
            elseif spell.english:startswith('Temper') then
                return 'Temper'
            elseif spell.english:startswith('Regen') then
                return 'Regen'
			elseif spell.english:startswith('Haste') then
				return 'Haste'	
			elseif spell.english:startswith('Aqua') then
				return 'Aquaveil'	
            end
        end
    end
end

The gearsets:

Spoiler: show

	sets.buff.ComposureOther = {
		head="Lethargy Chappel +1",neck="Orunmila's Torque",ear1="Etiolation Earring",ear2="Loquacious Earring",
		body="Lethargy Sayon +1",hands="Lethargy Gantherots +1",ring1="Weatherspoon Ring",ring2="Prolix Ring",
		back="Sucellos's Cape",waist="Witful Belt",legs="Lethargy Fuseau +1",feet="Lethargy Houseaux +1"}

    sets.buff.Saboteur = {hands="Lethargy Gantherots +1"}

While it looks like a mess, this was pretty much the only way I could get Composure on others and on me to separate themselves. The point is: it works and Saboteur's buff also works properly.

However, I tried a different approach with BLU and am having a very hard time with getting the AF2 feet that extend Diffusion's duration to equip properly.

Unlike RDM where all my sets are defined in Mote Mappings, I have mappings defined in the BLU LUA itself.

The job_setup() function looks like this...

BLU:
function job_setup():

The gearsets:

Spoiler: show

	sets.buff.Diffusion = {feet="Luhlaza Charuqs +1"}

No matter what I do, it will not equip Luhlaza Charuqs +1 when Diffusion is active and a buff is being cast. Instead, it defaults to the base sets.midcast.Buffs equipment.

Any ideas? Should I just stick to using the Mote Mappings file to map spells?

[dlsmd]

as i know vary little about motes include system i cant help you
--im doing this so that you know im almost useless for your request

[HitomeOfBismarck]

Darn. You've always been a big help, dlsmd! Maybe I should see if Diffusion is even listed as a buff in Mote's libraries.

Edit: Looks like it's handled in Mote-Includes here:

function precast(spell)
    if state.Buff[spell.english] ~= nil then
        state.Buff[spell.english] = true
    end
    handle_actions(spell, 'precast')
end

function midcast(spell)
    handle_actions(spell, 'midcast')
end

function aftercast(spell)
    if state.Buff[spell.english] ~= nil then
        state.Buff[spell.english] = not spell.interrupted or buffactive[spell.english] or false
    end
    handle_actions(spell, 'aftercast')
end

And defined in Windower's buffs.lua here:

    [356] = {id=356,en="Diffusion",ja="ディフュージョン",enl="Diffusion",jal="ディフュージョン"},

Odd that it won't work for Diffusion, though, when it works for Saboteur and Composure.

well
1. this state.Buff[spell.english] checks spell name not buff name and there is no spell names "Diffusion"
2. even this buffactive[spell.english] checks spell name and there is no spell called "Diffusion"

In the past there was a problem with diffusion and spells used with unbridaled. I remember mighty guard specifically had an issue, to fix it u had to go into the gearswap file that talks about it and add mighty guard or something. I cant recall exactly. Maybe a mistake got put in there again?

This makes sense. I should have tested Diffusion with something like Battery Charge or Erratic Flutter. I'll have to find out how to deal with Unbridled, though. Will do some testing when I get home.

[Nyarlko]

The solution I've found is to add an extra conditonal to precast & midcast for checking if Diffusion is active for any magic cast. Probably far from the most CPU efficient, but it works every time this way at least ^^;; Bonus: I can pretty easily understand what is going on when reading thru the coding XD

Hello again! I am attempting get my lua to index my custom Climactic flourish for when the buff is active and rudra is being used. So far, I am able to change gear as intended but when I try the //gs equip function it says the set does not exist. I am not too sure what I've done! Do you happen to know how to get it to recognize the set?

http://pastebin.com/zgVGQ402

whats the full command your tying to use
is it //gs equip :
sets.buff['Climactic Flourish']
or
sets.buff.Climactic Flourish

what im betting is its the space in 'Climactic Flourish' thats causing your issue gearswap would need a fix to correct this

[Rikimarueye]

//gs equip sets.precast.WS["Rudra's Storm"].CF

That's what I am trying to do. I am trying also:

sets.precast.WS["Rudra's Storm"]

and it says they do not exist. On that note, I did try other WSs precast and they worked fine.

[dlsmd]

sets.precast.WS["Rudra's Storm"]

it must be the space in "Rudra's Storm"

[Byrthnoth]

//gs equip sets.precast.WS[\"Rudra's Storm\"].CF

The windower console screws with double quotes unless you escape them using \

[dlsmd]

//gs equip sets.precast.WS[\"Rudra's Storm\"].CF

The windower console screws with double quotes unless you escape them using \

i did not know that
i guess i was wrong

[Rikimarueye]

Oh, phew! Thank you both for helping me. It works perfectly fine with Byrths' suggestion. ^^

I don't suppose anyone knows how I would write a keybind for gearswap that would allow me to bind !F1 to use Cure with the subtarget plugin?

This is what I think it should look like... but it doesn't seem to like it....

send_command('bind !f1 input //send @PLD /target <stal>; //send @PLD /con sta go @PLD Cure ')

Thanks for the help in advance!

[Trumpy]

Im not great at coding, but I use a macro for that kind of thing. Curing what i subtargetted. though with your code i would guess it would send the whole command at once. In macro it wont go to the next line til you click that subtarget but in command form i think it might bring up the subtarget but execute that next part right away.

My macro on my main to send the cure command to my mule to who i want is:

/target <stal>
/con sta go mulename Cure

notice it says "go mulename" not @mulename, Im not sure if the @ is necessary?

send_command('bind !f1 input //send @PLD /target <stal>; //send @PLD /con sta go @PLD Cure ')

whats confusin me is you are making a bind to use the Send addon to send a command for SubTarget to other window to send a command back to you (or to another mule) ? So on the second character a subtarget would pop up... are you going to switch to it to select what target? wouldnt it be better to just put the subtarget command on that window instead of sending to it?

Also for commands that arent official ffxi commands you dont have to use input or //s.

Example:

Windower command: "send @others /echo Boobs!" "send @others /p Boobs!" "send @others Cure me"

Official FFXI command: "input /echo Boobs!" "input /p Boobs!" "input /ma "Cure" <me>"

@others is any other ffxi window, not character specific.

Does anyone know off the top of their head what kind of issue would cause me to need to unload and reload gearswap in order to get Motenten's obi functionality to start working again? It seems to only happen after job changing, perhaps only certain job changes. My PLD and BLU luas aren't motenten, everything else is. I never used to get this error but now it shows up pretty often. Namely, it started showing up around 1 week ago from now.

It'll report a nil value on "ElementalObi" from "gear.ElementalObi.name = obi_name or gear.default.obi_waist or """ in Mote-Utility.lua. An obi is assigned to each element in mote-mappings.lua, gear.default.obi_waist is defined in my job.luas, and I use waist=gear.ElementalObi in many gearsets just like I always have, those three things haven't changed. I have compartmentalized my job.luas though in order to incorporate sidecar gear files and I added my own small custom include to my PLD and BLU luas, though my include doesn't have an obi system in it at all.
