So with the update to Nightingale, songs are near-instant. How might I go about adding a variable that locks me into my song midcast gear if Nightingale is active?

<if BuffActive="Nightingale">
    <equip when="Precast" set="SongFastCast|SongEffect" />
</if>
<else>
    <equip when="Precast" set="SongFastCast" />
    <equip when="Midcast" set="SongEffect" />
</else>

Looks like the job xml you have is for the previous revision (based on work done in fall/winter of last year), while the include file is the current revision (based on Radsources changes that went in last month). If you pulled this from Yugl's pastebin, the include file you want is named "Yugl-Include", while it looks like you grabbed the "BETA: S-Series Include" file.

Ah, apparently I did grab the wrong one. Thank you very much. NOW, however, it's giving me this error in the console:

Error line 0: Error reading Element value

And I copied this and replaced everything in the Yugl-include to that one.

[Yugl]

I reuploaded my XML and the include. You can just copypasta the sets over and that should work. I've been on DRG recently and it's worked.

[Dathus]

It has, and thanks. Also, did you know that in your jump sets you have:

"<lring>Mekira-oto</lring>" line 175

Might wanna fix that.

[Yugl]

Hey, I don't know of any better ring.

I've written a fairly simple spellcast for my WHM mule, but i'm wondering how I do this basicly.
Precast I swap to fastcastgear for casting cure
Midcast I swap to cure potency gear for casting cure
Aftercast I swap to idle/refresh gear.

Current code that I use:

    <if spell="Cure*|Curaga*">
      <equip when="precast" set="heal"/>
      <addtochat when="precast">:: [White Mage Cure Potency set] ::</addtochat>
      <equip when="aftercast" set="Main" delay="1"/>
      <addtochat when="aftercast">:: [White Mage Idle/Refresh set] ::</addtochat>
    </if>

Nightfyre (or anyone else with experience), how are you handling the apostrophe issue aside from &apos; when using

<if advanced='(bool)Buffactive("Signet") AND (bool)Buffactive("Warrior's Charge")'>

?

[Landsoul]

<if Spell="Cure*">
<equip when="precast" set="FastCast" />
<castdelay delay="0.03" />
<equip when="midcast" set="Cure Potency" />
<equip when="aftercast" set="Idle" />

Thanks!

?

Any time I've needed to use apostrophes in an advanced rule, I just use the standard escape sequence: &apos;

[Yugl]

Ya, I don't like using that because the aikar's autoformatter changes it back to an apostrophe. Radec gave me the idea to use regex and just * the apostrophe though.

[Landsoul]

Nevermind.

Finished my BLM script today, and I've had several issues with it. I've gotten most of them ironed out. However, I'm getting this message now:

Spellcast: Error in Expression: Syntax error at position 8 near
Spellcast:: "1"="1"

It seems to only happen when swapping into my "precast" set. Script is below.

Here is your link in case others would like to tackle this.

I'm guessing your error comes here:

<if advanced=' "$SleepTimers"="1" '>

Try replacing that with:

<if advanced='$SleepTimers=1'>

I also see a weird issue when I launch with firefox, but try that for now.

[Giovani]

That worked. Thanks a ton Yugl!

Im pretty new to the whole spellcast thing but i basically dual box most things so is there a way for one windower to load a certain set of spellcasts depending on what charater im currently using, since i use both rdm and whm on both charaters its not loading the correct equip based on what gear each charater has.

[Yugl]

Name the XML differently for each.

Char1Name_WHM.xml

Char2Name_WHM.xml

Same for RDM.

Hey guys, ok so i am having the same problem Harbym was having on page 213, tried everything that was stated to fix, apparently he got his to work (i am using his template) but I can't get mine.

The issue is simply this not equipping tp gear after WS, originally thought it was exactly the issue that harborym had with relic aftermath, but its not working for me even after upheaval not just MT.

I pasted autoexed and xml to http://pastebin.com/u/Tyleron

any help much appreciated.

[Yugl]

<elseif advanced='"$DDNeck"="Ravager&apos;s Gorget"'>

This is the fix I think. You have Ravager's gorget instead of Ravager&apos;s Gorget. The apostrophe closes the advanced rule. Also, this:

<spellcast xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude">

This has a duplicate in your XML.
