Oh, I don't know about the castdelay. I guess it was just in the xml wherever I found it. I'll take them out tonight and test it without them, I am almost always dualboxing so I do get some lag in abyssea but I'll give it a go. The only Shinryu item I do not have is the body, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to add that zone in as well, even tho I'd probably go THF for that. Thanks!

[Haborym]

Can't you just do <if area="Abyssea*">

[Esvedium]

Can't you just do <if area="Abyssea*">

I have mine for <if area="Abyssea*"> and <else>, but Aja has 2 different Abyssea Hi sets, one for visions/scars areas, one for heroes areas, hence the full area names.

[Haborym]

Oh, yeah I see that now. Didn't really read through all of it. :3

Something like this might work. I cleaned up the code a bit, you had your <if></if> tags out of order, and updated it to 2.3+ tags (changed <action type="equip" to <equip). Give this a shot. I left all the variables the way they were, so that should still work, the rules processing also should work, but can't test it from work. Also, where I commented in the code, I think you need to put a when statement in there, assuming when="precast", but if is working for you like that already, maybe not.

Spoiler: show

<if advanced='$Ring == 1'>
    <if notarea="Abyssea*">
        <if advanced='"$%SubJobRingHP" !="\$%SubJobRingHP"'>
            <if advanced='%HP &gt; $%SubJobRingHP'>
                <equip set="MinusHP" /><!-- You need to specify when in this statement -->
            </if>
        </if>
        <else>
            <equip set="MinusHP" /><!-- You need to specify when in this statement -->
        </else>
        <equip when="midcast">
            <lring>Sorcerer's Ring</lring>
        </equip>
    </if>
        <elseif area="Abyssea*">
            <if advanced='"$%SubJobRingHP" !="\$%SubJobRingHP"'>
            <if advanced='%HP &lt; $%SubJobRingHP'>
                <equip when="midcast">
                    <lring>Sorcerer's Ring</lring>
                </equip>
            </if>
            </if>
        </elseif>
</if>

Got around to testing the code and you were pretty close. Looks like the rule "<if advanced='"$%SubJobRingHP" !="\$%SubJobRingHP"'>" Only applied to the hp down set, not to the ring itself. Removing that from the inside statement made it work. It no longer equips HP down inside abyssea, Uses my 2 int +7 rings on nukes, and only uses Sorc under the correct HP value and not the 75% threshold that doest work due to the cruor buffs.


For people that wanna add this to their code, the proper code is:

<if advanced='$Ring == 1'>
    <if notarea="Abyssea*">
        <if advanced='"$%SubJobRingHP" !="\$%SubJobRingHP"'>
            <if advanced='%HP &gt; $%SubJobRingHP'>
                <equip set="MinusHP" /><!-- You need to specify when in this statement -->
            </if>
        </if>
        <else>
            <equip set="MinusHP" /><!-- You need to specify when in this statement -->
        </else>
        <equip when="midcast">
            <lring>Sorcerer's Ring</lring>
        </equip>
    </if>
        <elseif area="Abyssea*">
            <if advanced='%HP &lt; $%SubJobRingHP'>
                <equip when="midcast">
                    <lring>Sorcerer's Ring</lring>
                </equip>
            </if>
        </elseif>
</if>

[Esvedium]

stuff

You might want to change the line in the "inside abyssea" part of that from <lring>Sorcerer's Ring</lring> to <lring lock="yes">Sorcerer's Ring</lring>, so it doesn't get overwritten by a later rule. You said it worked, but if you tweak your xmls as much as I do, another rule later on might take precedent, but if you have lock="yes" in there, it should keep working the way it is now.

[Salmijr]

Yea, I could do that. As it is now, it works fine tho, and I shouldnt be hitting another macro while the spell is going off. And with the Hp rule inside abyssea, the only time im even equipping the ring is under 35% or so anyway, so meh. But yea, I see what you are saying.

[Fereydoon]

Ugly Pendant/Artemis Medal rules? <if MPPLT="50">?

[Yugl]

MPPAftercastLT="50" for Uggy. For Artemis, you want <If moon="NewMoon|Blargh|Blargh">.

[Soho]

I'm pretty sure I got this basic RDM XML from a link on either here or the Windower site (thanks to whoever linked!) and I'm trying to make it NOT swap out my weapons when I have Swords equipped. There's some code near the bottom about having TP or not, but maybe it's in the wrong place or maybe I'm just misunderstanding it.

Would someone be kind enough to show me the proper code to make that happen and tell me specifically where to insert it into this XML? Thanks in advance!

<if status="engaged" EquipMain="Name1|Name2|name3">
    <equip when="engaged|precast|midcast|aftercast|reasting|idle">
        <main lock="true" />
        <sub lock="true" />
    </equip>
</if>

Change Name1...Name3 to whatever weapon you want to use while meleeing. Put it after this code:

<!-- Rule: Gear Based on Status -->
    <!-- Rule: Equip Idle Set -->
        <action type="equip" when="AfterCast|%status" set="%status" />

[Soho]

Thank you kind sir!

[Soho]

Hmm... Maybe I did this wrong. It's working while I'm engaged, but as soon as I go idle, it swaps back to Terra's Staff.

This is how I did the names:

<if status="engaged" EquipMain="Magn*|Joy*|Myth*">
		  <equip when="engaged|precast|midcast|aftercast|resting|idle">
		      <main lock="true" />
		      <sub lock="true" />
		  </equip>
</if>

[Yugl]

Oh right. Take out the [status="engaged"] part.

[Soho]

Oh right. Take out the [status="engaged"] part.

Works perfectly now. Thanks again!

Just coming back to FFXI, trying to set spellcast back up. I have all of the info in a Default.xml, whenever I load spellcast with that I don't get anything aside from a "plugin successfully loaded". I made a copy of it and labelled it WAR.xml, but when that loads I get an error "SpellCast: XML Parsing Error: line 64 - Error reading end tag."

line 64 is just "</set>", I can't find any errors anywhere near it.

I based my xml off this
http://wiki.windower.net/plugins/spe...ar/toralin_war


here's mine, I included both default.xml and war.xml in a rar. I'm not exactly sure why, they're the exact same thing.

Just paste em to pastebin.com, 99% chance you have another tag before </set> that isn't closed properly.

[JustaWAR]

Thanks, there was a fucked up tag in the set that line 64 closed that I haven't noticed before. It seems to be working fine now.
