Ashita v2 [Windower Alternative] Now Dead!

[atom0s]

I've started using Ashita and I have two issues that hopefully someone can help with.
1. After closing any menu, the cursor moves up one space.
2. Ashitacast doesn't work. It says it's loaded, I've created the xml, but it just doesn't do anything.

If anyone has any suggestions I'd be greatly appreciative.

1. Make sure that you have chosen to disable / unhook the mouse in the options of Ashita. Doing so will prevent the game from moving your mouse at all.

2. Be sure to check out the AshitaCast documentation. I didn't write it so I cannot give any direct support for it. However, you can find the docs online here:

Ashita v2.2.0.11
- Fixed an issue where the plugin interface was using an outdated return type (Ashita::AS_String) for some string returns.
- Those return types are now turned into const char* instead.
- All base plugins have been updated to the new interface version.

Third-party developers will need to update their plugins for this change.

I assume that's why gearlock, shorthand, statustimers, and lootwhore just stopped working? Is there some kind of way to get it to work until they get updated?

Is there a way to downgrade temporarily? It's essentially unusable without ashitacast.

I wasn't around for the holidays, I apologize for not checking in. Assumed nothing would break since the maintenance had already passed.

Getting my plugins updated and pushed now, should all be up within the hour.

[Lolwutt]

Ok, all of my plugins should be updated and available through the launcher. If any issues, can post here.

Everything seems up and working thanks for the quick turn around

The issue was fixed but I would recommend instead of using ashita.exe every time to load up, create a desktop shortcut (or anywhere) to boot the game without loading ashita.exe. This can be done after loading ashita.exe and press the chainlink icon on the bottom right of the window.
This way you can check forums for updates, and update when everything is sorted out.

Usually this means you are missing the required runtime files.

Hit up Google and look for the following files:
- VC++ 2010 Redistributable x86
- VC++ 2012 Update 4 Redistributable x86
- VC++ 2013 Redistributable x86
- VC++ 2015 Redistributable x86

Make sure you get the 32bit version files only. You do not need the 64bit files for Ashita or anything associated with it.

Every file should come from Microsoft.com.

Even if I am running 64 bit OS?

Yes

Ashita Updated
- Fixed broken player pointer.
- Fixed broken entity structure.
- Removed IEntity::GetPetTP / SetPetTP
- Added IPlayer::GetPetTP

Plugins will need to be recompiled by their developers for them to work. Some addons may need to be updated with this pet change!

For those that obtain PetTP from an addon, the new syntax will be:

AshitaCore:GetDataManager():GetPlayer():GetPetTP()

My plugins should all be up to date now.

So this is weird some plugins that were more or less working right after the update are failing to load now. Specifically shorthand, statustimers, lootwhore, gearlock, servo and bellhop that I know of. All of them are giving invalid interface version expected 1.09 got 1.08

Edit: Manually downloading and putting in the .dlls seems to work though

Sounds like your system might be caching the web requests made by the launcher to obtain the update files or something. Seems strange as all of them on the Gitlab are all the latest versions.

Hmm not sure how to fix that. Something else though the first time I started it today it just crashed before the updates happened to maybe that's why?

Edit: Well went and manually did them and most seem to work but servo still getting same error

Third-party plugins need to recompiled by those that maintain them.

Yeah looks like it was fixed this afternoon

I am having a ton of trouble getting Windower to play nice with my Surface Pro 4/Windows 10. So now I would like to try Ashita but every wiki/guide I find has dead links or no instructions on how to get Ashita up and running.

I'm not looking to play on a private server, just looking for a windower alternative. Can anyone give me a ELI5 version on getting ashita installed and running?

Thanks
