Client's slow to recognize gearswaps, if you go A>B>A Spellcast may think you're still wearing AF3+2 and not equip it for the final swap. Add a slight delay or use <cmd> on the last body swap.

[GoggleHead]

How slight a delay are we talking here, 0.1 seconds or something more sizable? For that matter, what's the default midcast delay on spells that it isn't getting enough time to pick up on my body swaps?

Lag or the thought of lag has always been an issue for me. I use a .3 delay for WS spells and some DNC JA. The .3 seems to work very well but the idea of not needing any delay is always on my mind.

[Lonewind]

if I have a Fastcast/Eva Haste hybrid sets for nin, but specifically for Utususemi, can the code be written like this?

<if spell="Utsusemi*">
<equip when="precast" set="FastCast" />
<equip when="midcast" set="FCEvasionHybrid" />
<action type="equip" when="precast|midcast">
<neck>Magoraga Beads</neck>
<feet>Iga Kyahan +2</feet>
</action>
<castdelay delay=".25" />
</if>

without writing a new set just for utsusemi.

Spellcast noob, can someone just give a brief description on how to use this please? aka what folder to put in, how to exec, how to choose which set (4 or 5)?

Thanks

I don't think that's a spellcast xml, but a script, put it as a txt file and under scripts/ folder

edit: I think you execute it by //exec "filename.txt" or something like that if it's directly under the scrip folder. if not it's "//exec "/folder/filename.txt"

if it's something like c:/program files/windower/script/folder/filename.txt

I was just thinking that actually since its not the typical xml setup. So I would just do /console exec smn_skilling.txt (or whatever I name it) just like other scripts? Tried it real fast on rdm and the /echo at the bottom came up but nothing else happened (I was expecting a "cannot use that spell"). Never seen a script with all this alias and 2 different sets so I'm kinda confused, any suggestions?

[Yugl]

You need to type out the alias trigger in console ("set5" I think).

Anyone seen a decent bst xml floating aroung? Ive tried a few but none seem to work all that well, looking mainly just for reward/call beast/dd sets. There is one from like 9 months back in forums but it doesnt swap even after sets entered.

was thinking on making one soon, since lvled a month ago bst but still havent used it! i'll start it as soon as i finish the pup one (should be about done,just missing a couple things i'd like to have)

[Slore]

I can throw together some sets, the xml i have is almost 3 years or so back needless to say i tried updating gear but yeah it fires not haha

This can crash ur system running so many have moved to using spellcast instead:
http://wiki.windower.net/plugins/spe...mn/smn_skillup

To get it started just copy/paste into a XML file in the spellcast folder and laod it up with [sc load filename.xml] After the script is loaded up and you preform any action you will get a one time message informing you of the script being loaded.
Trigger Spells

Cast one of these spells after the XML is loaded to start the skill up process.

Cure1 - This will start the healing Magic cycle.
Carbuncle - This will start the summoning magic cycle.
Protect - This will start the Enhancing magic cycle for protect / shell spells
Barfira - This will start the Enhancing magic cycle for bar spells
Blaze Spikes - This will start the Enhancing magic cycle with BLM spike spells.
You can press CTRL+ESCAPE to unload the script.

I have a version that switches to double axes using commands since equipping 2 weapons or weapon and grip can cause errors.

I use a similar script for curing/enhancing. This works like a dream. Only thing this one lacks are bard skillups, but I would imagine it being relatively simple to incorporate that into this.

What program can I use to copy and paste this and save it as an xml? I tried open office spreadsheet but I keep getting the ingame console error saying
"Spellcast: Invalid XML. No <Spellcast>?
Spellcast: Your document failed to load. Please view the error above, and once it is corrected type /sc reload"

Ok works perfectly now, thanks a ton!

Basic WHM spellcast, can anyone assist? I'm competent enough to fill in gear slots and whatnot, but I've messed with a few MNK and WAR spellcasts I've found via pastebin and when trying to edit them to fix what I didn't like basically ruined the whole thing.

All I would want is to have an idle, precast, and cure set :/

[Motenten]

I have my whm spellcast on pastebin: http://pastebin.com/u/Motenten

Get it and the Mote-include.xml if you want to try it out.

[Demenic]

I was wondering if you guys could help me out with something. I recently started using Motenten's THF xml and it's great. It can do pretty much anything I wanted for my THF. However, I'm having a slight issue with getting it to swap to Triplus Dagger and Thief's Knife on engage and after the TP check, even when set to Aggressive mode. I'm pretty sure I only modified the gear sets and set the default TH mode to be Agressive instead of Conservative. I can't figure this out and I've spent a while looking at the code, trying different things to no avail. Maybe I'm overlooking something. Can anyone offer any suggestions?

Here's the URL for my modified XML: pastebin.com/0mJnZ1HX

Sorry, I'd post it in hyperlink form, but I don't have the required posts needed to hyperlink. I'm more of a lurker than a poster

Any help would be greatly appreciated with this. Thanks in advance.

Edit: Nevermind, it started working suddenly. I think my spellcast plugin was bugged out or something as the xml started working upon restarting the plugin completely. Thanks for the help!
