spellcast windower mod

[Brendanv]

so ive been reading alot about this but it still just comes off as confusing to me. its just far too much code for me to understand fully on my own. ive read other peoples sets that they have made and it made a little more sense but not enough to go make some on my own. especially when they got into the rules/variables. it just lost me. there any site or something that can help me make some of my own? this addon has amazing potential and i really would love to use it to its fullest but too tired to lurk for answers atm. anyone could help would be great. otherwise i guess ill just do some searching of my own

You could always follow what's done, but step by step and play around with it. Most people who post their own xml have an advanced and a newbie (to xml) version of their work. I don't know how to create an xml file in windows, but I learned to copy a duplicate into windows (resources.xml file to be specific) and edit it in notepad I recently started playing with it on my own time outside of events and I am looking forward to some smoother play experience. I'm an obsessive blm and I have gear for just about every situation and mash too many macros. The windower team has IRC that you can get onto with either the normal client or the web client and they are very willing to help you out. The best thing to do really is to borrow someone else's xml and manipulate the data in it and try to understand the tutorial.

I hate spellcast. Can never get it to work the way I want it to.

I can see how Spellcast would be difficult for some people. My suggestion would be to download Notepad ++ and get the XML Tools plugin for it. Notepad ++ should help you understand the structure better.

this does help some but the plug in gives a bunch of errors for me most of the time.

I personally love spellcast, however due to the current windower bug spellcast causes me to crash "randomly" anywhere from 5 mins after i login to 30 mins after i login.

As result this awesome plugin got commented out till they release 3.4

Yeah, it's a VERY awesome plugin. You can have it auto-equip NIN boots for running at night, or Vampire earrings once it's night for WS. Or.. auto-switch to Minstrel's Ring on BRD once <75% HP... But.. 3.3's plugin interface isn't up to par with Spellcast, I too will have to wait until 3.4 comes out. HURRY THE FK UP AIKAR </3

Open notepad, type out the xml, save it and rename it to .xml Nothing special at all goes into making xml in regards to that.

For some very odd reason, my laptop wouldn't let me do that a very long time ago when I first tried out spellcast lol, so that's why I did what I said before Thanks though

Notepad likes to stick .txt on the end of filenames... to force it to do XML you can just put the filename in quotes (as in "filename.xml") and that'll do the trick

or have show known extensions, which allows you to view all extensions of files and you can change them at your leisure

There is an entire sub forum on the windower site dedicated to Spellcast, and helping people with their xmls. I'd highly recommend digging through that forum, and posting any questions you have.
