Windower Macro Question

[Cautery]

I have a newbie question guys! I've made a macro when I have to perform Blade:Jin that doesnt works... I mean, for the first half part it works, for the other, not.

This is the macro:

input /echo > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > NIN [Blade:Jin Day] Setup < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < <;
input /equip ammo "Bomb core";
input /equip head "Optical hat";
input /equip neck "Hope torque";
input /equip ear1 "Ethereal earring";
input /equip ear2 "Brutal earring";
input /equip body "Koga chainmail";
input /equip hands "Ninja tekko +1";
input /equip ring1 "Jaeger ring";
input /equip ring2 "Crimson ring";
input /equip back "Amemet mantle +1";
input /equip waist "Potent belt";
input /equip legs "Galliard trousers";
input /equip feet "Rutter sabatons";
input /lockon <t>;
pause 1
input /ws "Blade: Jin" <t>;
pause 2
input /console exec NINtpDAY.txt;
input /lockon <t>;

The part that doest work is after input /ws "Blade: Jin" <t>;: It performs the WS but then I dont know why it doesnt starts the script NINtpDAY.txt.

Have I made something wrong?

You probably just need longer than a pause 2 right after jin. Have you tried extending the time of that last pause?

[DanielRemora]

Try changing

input /console exec NINtpDAY.txt;

to

exec NINtpDAY.txt;

[Cautery]

Working!

Thanks Daniel! :D

The proper Windower command isn't:

input /console exec NINtpDAY.txt;

It's just

exec NINtpDAY.txt;

Commands that go through "input <blah>" won't trigger the custom commands like /console, and using input and /console together is useless anyways. "input <blah>" says to send <blah> to the game as if you typed it in the chat box, and "/console <blah>" means send <blah> to Windower as if you had typed it on the console.

And what about the gear change and after just 1 second the WS? It takes all the changes I've made for the WS or I should put "pause 2" before performing the WS?

[DanielRemora]

I don't think you need a pause at all between the gear switches and the WS. As far as I know, the server should execute code in the order it is recieved.

A pause after the weapon skill is required, however. Due to the delay between initiation and execution (Can be too far away, etc). Two seconds seems sufficient.

[Niiro]

You don't need any pause between gear swap and WS, you do need one between WS and gear swap back to TP gear.

[KimimaroKun]

Yeah that's what I was saying, a pause "after" jin. But you don't need it before. I was thinking if the weapon skill was long enough, it was some how not executing the /equip back on because of not a long enough deley. But now that I think about it, pause 1 is all it should need being it's only a command.

/wait 1 after WS didn't work well for me, most of the time one ring wouldn't be swapped back.

This usually only happens if you switch 2 of the same ring types in and out for TP/WS (ie: 2x snipers for 2x flame and back).

I've always used /wait 2 after WS.

Ahh yes I use to have that problem myself. For that, I made a wait 1 equip all my gear then another wait 1 and equip the doubles (str rings, earrings, snipers, etc). But maybe 1 wait 2 would do the trick. I should try that out. :D

I've got an additional question to this. I've been using an /echo for TP return value to see whether or not I'm hitting all 3 hits and/or double attack on my Jin's. Although, depending on whether or not I'm playing on my laptop instead of my desktop I happen to get the TP return /echo with a TP over 100%. It seems to happen a lot more on my laptop too.

My WS macro looks like this:

FFXI Macro
/p {Blade: Jin} <t>
//jin

nin/alias.txt
alias jin exec "nin/ws/jin.txt";
alias ws exec "nin/gear/haste/ws.txt" //ws set depends on build

nin/ws/jin.txt
ws; //stores ws set depending on build
breeze_gorget;
pause 1.0;
input /ws "Blade: Jin" <t>;
pause 2.0;
/input echo [<tp>] TP RETURN;

nin/gear/haste/ws.txt
bomb_core;
optical_hat;
brutal_earring_l;
minuet_earring_r;
kirins_osode;
ninja_tekko_+1;
rajas_ring_l;
triumph_ring_r;
amemet_mantle_+1;
warwolf_belt;
byakkos_haidate;
rutters_sabatons;
input /echo [HASTE] WS »» ACC/DEX +10/+42 _ ATT/STR +32/+37;

Look into spellcast, it makes thing a lot easier
