Gearswap Help Thread!

[hopefulki]

So this is a bit strange, but when I logged in today, I got the following error:

GearSwap: Lua error (unknown: 1) - ..Windower/Windower4.1//addons/gearswap/statics.lua:61: bad argument #1 to 'pairs' (table expected, got nil). I haven't edited statics, and i re-downloaded GS just to make sure it wasn't me.

I saw resources get updated today, not sure if that has something to do with it, but I would think so, since no error before the update.

Resources are actually re-downloading/updating anytime you open the launcher today, strange.

*EDIT* definitely resources, battlemod went bonkers too with abilities

[Darkmagi]

afaik, is not working again

Anything else on this? Also is this something being fixed if it is broken? (gearswap augments)

[Sithel]

Thank you. The LUA is actually Sithel's from the gearswap shop thread, I see he is active in this thread so maybe he would know what's wrong.

So I'm assuming the way I tested is at least legitimate? Sithel do you know if your snapshot set is still being swapped in?

I just double checked mine to be sure, preshot is working fine for me. Is all you did it change gear or did you change some functions around? I'll reup my rng profile to pastebin but everything working just fine for me.

I noticed updated lua for brd and cor that added wardrobe support, is this something that has to be done at a lua by lua process, or can be added to the includes?. If has to be done manually what would be the code to add? IE using the blu lua http://pastebin.com/NjH4ZWsL

what hes doing with that code is make sure you have the gear by checking both locations(normal inventory,mog wardrobe) for the gear and it would require him to reorganize his info to do as you ask

If, in your lua, you have any reason to check player.inventory, it's probably a good idea to also check player.wardrobe for the same thing. If you do not have reason to check player.inventory (for example, the blu lua doesn't ever check for anything), then you don't have to do anything to update the file.

The brd lua, for example, is checking that you have a Daurdabla (or Terpander) available before allowing you to change the songcasting mode, since that affects the gear set chosen. That's also something very specific to the brd file, so isn't something to be put in any of the includes.

[Motenten]

Thanks! Works like a charm.

Also unrelated to mnk. I made a rng profile months ago and since the update I can now do a Weaponskill while standing idle and never engaging the mob. For ranger I love this, but I know it can't be correct. I have 3 LS people using my rng profile and can do the same thing, but I know a few others using GearSwap for RNG and using someone else profile and cannot do this. So was thinking it has to either be in my GS file or I need to log out for updates? I really like WS'ing while idle but outside of LS people, I may look suspicious.

Here's my rng file for reference if there's something in there causing it.

That's a known issue with GearSwap itself, and has been the case for pretty much as long as GearSwap has been functional. Byrth has decided that he doesn't intend to fix it. The other lua files you refer to probably explicitly prevent that from being done for the very reason you mention -- it could look suspicious. Since you made yours yourself, you obviously didn't put in any controls for that issue.

To block it, add something like this:

function precast(spell)
    if spell.action_type == 'WeaponSkill' and player.status ~= 'Engaged' then
        cancel_spell()
        add_to_chat(123, 'Cannot weaponskill while not engaged.')
    end
end

Ah, i assumed any gear in wardrode would be ignored, but i see that is not the case, thank you. On a side note, any reason why i get the notice in chat that step is ready but not for violent flourish? Here is the section of code.


function job_aftercast(spell, action, spellMap, eventArgs)

if spell.type == 'Step' and not spell.interrupted then
send_command("wait 15;input /echo -- STEP READY! ---")
end

if spell.type == 'Flourish' and not spell.interrupted then
send_command("wait 20;input /echo -- FLOURISH READY! ---")
end

if not spell.interrupted then
if state.Buff[spell.english] ~= nil then
state.Buff[spell.english] = true
end
end
end

[dv8nxs]

instead of doing a toggle command and skipping through them like this

Spoiler: show

function self_command(command)
if command == 'toggle TP set' then
TP_Index = TP_Index +1
if TP_Index > #TP_Set_Names then TP_Index = 1
end
send_command('@input /echo ----- TP Set changed to '..TP_Set_Names[TP_Index]..' -----')
equip(sets.TP[TP_Set_Names[TP_Index]])
elseif command == 'toggle Idle set' then
Idle_Index = Idle_Index +1
if Idle_Index > #Idle_Set_Names then Idle_Index = 1
end
send_command('@input /echo ----- Idle Set changed to '..Idle_Set_Names[Idle_Index]..' -----')
equip(sets.Idle[Idle_Set_Names[Idle_Index]])
end
end

would i be correct to do this

Spoiler: show

function self_command(command)
if command == 'TH' then
send_command('@input /echo ----- changed to TH -----')
equip(sets.TP.TH])
end
elseif command == 'toggle Idle set' then
send_command('@input /echo ----- changed to DD -----')
equip(sets.TP.DD])
end
end

instead of it having to toggle threw an index of things?
if not what would be the best way of doing so

[dv8nxs]

oh and i was also checking to see if i weapon skill if it would return back to lets say i had acc set before tping if not then what could i do to change so that it will come back to gear set i changed too

the problem w/ this is, that you will equip the gear, but after any action it will go back to the "aftercast" you have.

a toggle is just a command that increment index by 1, but you can do a command that directly set the index to the number you want. (need to see what each number is for a better example).

lets say index #3 is TH

you can make a command like this

if command == 'TH' then
   TP_Index = 3
   equip(sets.TP[TP_Set_Names[TP_Index]])
   send_command('@input /echo ----- changed to TH -----')
end

and in your second "spoiler/code" you have an END before the elseif that shouldn't go there.

if spell.type == 'Flourish' and not spell.interrupted then
send_command("wait 20;input /echo -- FLOURISH READY! ---")
end

its because there are 3 Flourish types
Flourish1
Flourish2
Flourish3

spell.type for Flourish like Violent F. is Flourish1, for reverse is Flourish2

okay thank you and what about switching back after a weapon skill would it switch back to index 1 or would it return to index 3 sorry just trying to learn

[JSHidaka]

that way I posted, after any action (JA, WS, while engaged) will go back to Index 3

[dv8nxs]

Thanks so much JSHidaka

Edit: Nevermind, figured it out! Also thanks to those who helped with my DRG one, works like a charm now.

Are spell.target.hp and spell.target.hpp broken? Mote used both of them in his waltz optimizer, but I can't get either to work when trying to write my own, even cribbing the alliance target finding function.

[Byrthnoth]

If spell.target exists, then spell.target.hpp should exist. spell.target.hp should not exist except in rare cases, I think.

[dlsmd]

how are you using it
it should be
spell.target.hpp == 19
for when your spell target hpp is 19%
