You'd have to post your lua or at least the codes pertaining to your capes/WS.

its also quite possible that you cant get an update thats needed because windower.net is down

Thanks for your prompt reply .. I tried but it says I need 10 posts to be able to past a link; however, below is my LUA

...

thats just the setup needed for using motes include you have no rules for when to equip change

you still need job_precast,job_midcast,job_post_midcast,job_after cast,etc. or some combination of them with rules in side them

start looking here: https://github.com/Kinematics/GearSwap-Jobs

[EternalKing]

Thanks, I'll try to include precast and midcast and see how it goes.

But even with doing manually //gs equip sets.precast.WS.Mandalic Stab WS Cape isn't really loading and all other gear sets swaps fine.

Lastly, really appreciate dedicating some of your time to support those in need, much obliged.

P.S I haven't really had the chance to update windower files since the update; however, I will update it once windower runs back again and see

this
//gs equip sets.precast.WS.Mandalic Stab
might not work because of the space

[Sechs]

No dlsmd, his lua for Mandalic Stab is fine, check the pastebin here.

http://pastebin.com/y32JMRPg

I had him try to MANUALLY equip the set with "//gs equip setname" and it STILL does not equip the cape.
Which hints there's something wrong in the section where he converts augments into varnames.
It's the following, but looks fine to me.

    STPback={ name="Toutatis's Cape", augments={'DEX+20','Accuracy+20 Attack+20','Accuracy+10','"Store TP"+10',}}
    WSback={ name="Toutatis's Cape", augments={'DEX+30','Accuracy+20 Attack+20','Weapon skill damage +10%',}}

Imho it's just an issue with resources or some basic component. He has an old version and he cannot update to the new version because windower.net is currently down.
If the cape doesn't swap with the manual equip command it can't be a problem with precast or midcast or aftercast functions.

You can pull the resources down from Github. https://github.com/Windower/Resources

Try and re-export the cape's augments. My DEX+30 WSD cape for thf doesn't combine the dex into 1 augment. It is split like this:

{ name="Toutatis's Cape", augments={'DEX+20','Accuracy+20 Attack+20','DEX+10','Weapon skill damage +10%',}}

[Sechs]

Ooh good point Wheeldog, I think we have a winner and that's the issue!
I completely forgot about it but *all* my capes with Stats+30 are split in two. I think the problem here is that EternalKing exported the cape before adding the 4th slot. Then he added the 4th slot and DID NOT re-extract the cape, but simply added DEX+10 to the already present DEX+20

Pretty confident that's the issue. Good one Wheeldog, I completely missed it!

[Byrthnoth]

Yeah, this is a foible of the augment system. There are actually two DEX augments on the cape, which are only combined on display.

[EternalKing]

Try and re-export the cape's augments. My DEX+30 WSD cape for thf doesn't combine the dex into 1 augment. It is split like this:

{ name="Toutatis's Cape", augments={'DEX+20','Accuracy+20 Attack+20','DEX+10','Weapon skill damage +10%',}}

yay!!!! thank you very much <333 it worked... I totally neglected exporting the cape and manually added the +10 DEX

I really appreciate your support, literally, thank you.

[Trumpy]

is there a way to make this print into chat log instead of console? via addtochat or whatever works?

if command == 'table' then
	for i,v in pairs(windower.ffxi.get_player()) do
		print(i,v)
	end
end

[dlsmd]

use add_to_chat(7,i.." = "..v) not print(i,v)

[Trumpy]

thank you for the quick reply... i tried that and it prints 2 things in chatlog: "linkshell = MyLinkShellName" and "superior_level = 0". then the console gets error "attempt to concatenate local 'v' (a table value)

Edit: Randomly tried just: add_to_chat(7, i,v)
and it worked! thank you.

Re-Edit: Ok noticing it gives the things in the tables but doesnt tell you their values like it did when it only showed the 2 things.

[Byrthnoth]

Yeah, because add_to_chat doesn't take three arguments.

Do:
print_set(windower.ffxi.get_player())

[Trumpy]

Yeah, because add_to_chat doesn't take three arguments.

Do:
print_set(windower.ffxi.get_player())

Ok finally got online and tried that out byrthnoth. it gave me 27 arguments (like the linkshell and superior level i mentioned above) from the table and what their values were, but it repeated those like 25 times in the chat log. some of the values differed though. for example vitals table was difference in each listing. I guess it did give me what I needed to know though in the end so it is all good. thank you.

[Mafai]

Pretty sure you dont need the loop anymore, just print_set(windower.ffxi.get_player()) alone will give you what you want.

[Byrthnoth]

yeah, print_set() is gearswap's baked-in function that prints the contents of a table.

[Trumpy]

Ahhh ok so instead of this:

if command == 'table' then
	for i,v in pairs(windower.ffxi.get_player()) do
		print(i,v)
	end
end

Do this?

if command == 'table' then
	print_set(windower.ffxi.get_player())
end

[Sechs]

Dlsmd, you god of gearswap you, I summon your wisdom!
There's something that's been going on since like forever on my mage luas, but I've always been too lazy to try to fix it.
It's a small issue, I basically only notice it sometimes when trying to fire multiple magic bursted spells on the same SC. What happens? That sometimes the spell doesn't start casting as fast as it should, or as fast as I want it to, meaning it starts like half a second (or even less) too late, and because of this I sometimes lose the window for a third or even second magicburst on the same SC.

I *think* I migth have found the culprit for this behaviour.

Long time ago I did something in my mage luas, it's been there since forever, and I no longer completely understand why I went this way to handle things.
Basically I wanted to avoid Gearswap to continuosly swap precast/midcast cycle if I accidentally spammed a spell macro. (something I have the bad habit to do... very often)
So I created a variable called "casting" (which I set to true or false accordingly) to check wether or not I'm currently through the process of "casting" something.
When I start casting I set this var to true, and at the beginning of my Precast I check for the var and ignore everything if it's true. For instance:

function precast(spell,action)
	if casting then
		cancel_spell()
		return
	end
        ...
        ~real content of my precast function~
        ...
end

I set the var to false in my Aftercast. This created a problem though. What if the spell didn't complete or got interrupted? In those situations I was never getting to Aftercast, meaning the var would remain to "true".
To solve this I created something at the beginning of my Midcast function:

function midcast(spell)
	if spell.prefix ~= '/jobability' and spell.prefix ~= '/weaponskill' then
		casting = true
		coroutine.schedule(function () casting = false end, (spell.cast_time/4+.5))
                ...
                ~real content of my midcast function~
                ...
end

Now I don't exactely remember how that coroutine works, but as far as I remember it's a "scheduled operation" that sets the variable called "casting" to the value of "false" after X seconds have occurred.
X is then calculated as the casttime of the ongoing spell / 4, and then adding 0.5 seconds to it.
Isn't this value too high, considering I'm pretty much always 80% FC capped if not more on some jobs?
I think I should change these values so that the final result is smaller, maybe removing the + 0.5, I dunno. Looking for suggestions.
