No it's addtochat, I've been using silence for years and it never did that, i've only been using addtochat recently before i never used addtochat in spellcast, but I liked to see what gear sets I'm swapping to.

Replace

(regex)%Weather=^.* x2$(/regex)

with

(bool)regex("%Weather","^.* x2$")

Thank you

Since Bloodpacts have a delay before firing off does this work or do i have to add a delay?

      <if spell="Predator Claws">
          <equip when="precast" set="PredatorClaws" />
          <command when="precast">input /echo :: [Summoner Predator Claws Bloodpact set] ::</command>
          <equip when="aftercast" set="Iddle" />
          <command when="aftercast">input /echo :: [Summoner Idle/Refresh set] ::</command>
        </if>

No clue, but you mis-spelled "Idle"

[Landsoul]

Thanks for pointing that out, just made a quick spellcast for SMN

[Yugl]

Add a aftercast delay.

            <if spell="Restoring Breath|Smiting Breath">
                <equip when="precast" set="%Spell" />
                <aftercastdelay delay="2.1" />
            </if>

Posted this in the wrong thread, attempting to make Nightfyres DRK work and having multiple issues. The distance trigger(and a few others, but these are not very important to me) is not working and thus makes me unable to WS. I'm also swapping into town idle regardless of area, and if i cast stun multiple times in quick succession it will crash my game.
http://pastebin.com/v7RTMvEd is what I have put in so far, what am I doing wrong?

For some reason these echos don't work anymore...

So I removed the variable so now the echo works, but when I Double-Up it says ((Double-Up)) Lucky: 5 * Unlucky: 7

I'm not sure why...

[Nightfyre]

DRK xml fixed and re-upped. Expect an additional update at some point tomorrow.

[Darkmagi]

Ty sir, much appreciated.

<else spell="Miser*"> is really just <else> - so the doubleup is taking this branch as well.

Change it to <elseif spell="Miser*"> .... </elseif>

[Aja]

Ahh, ok thanks!

[Ophannus]

What the fuck is up with Icesoul Rings in my RDM and SCH XML(both from different authors). I think it's the piece and not the xml because many times when I precast Fastcast gear with Prolix ring and midcast nuke gear(Icesoul Rings) the slot that has the prolix into icesoul swap almosgt never swaps into Icesoul ring. It works beautifully when I change the xml to ANY other ring but Icesoul. I'm not spelling it wrong and I quadruple checked. All my other fastcast gear swaps out fine for nukes midcast except Prolix keeps staying on instead of icesoul swapping out. Once more, when i change "icesoul ring" in my <lring> to any other ring besides Icesoul, it swaps out. It's the ring!

[Radec]

It's trying to equip the same icesoul ring to both slots, and since it's already used in the rring it can't be in the lring. Yes, you have another perfectly fine icesoul sitting there unused, it's just that there is no command to equip the 2nd of an item. (/equip lring "Icesoul Ring.2" isn't a thing)

Couple things that can help, never equip only 1 icesoul ring. If you really want to FC in prolix, equip prolix+somethingelse. (Dark+Dark > Prolix+Sheltered > Icesoul+Icesoul)

Your delays between idle > fcgear > midcastgear may be too low, and the game is still sending the values for icesoul in lring, even though prolix has swapped(If you go ice+ice > ice+prolix > ice+ice). Increase the allowed time (probably a line somewhere about midcastdelay) and try that.

These are all FFXI issues more than spellcast or xml issues, you just need to work around them.

[Ophannus]

Makes sense. Usually have the problem when I'm nuking in succesion without aftercasting in Idle gear.(Dark/Dark>Prolix/Icesoul>Icesoul/Icesouk then nuking without going back to Dark/Dark, so it stays in Prolix/Icesoul ad infinitum)

Very likely an include file is missing, see the stickied "completed spellcast xmls" for instructions on where to get them.

[gnat]

I have motes include in the spellcast folder named Mote-Include

[Motenten]

I have motes include in the spellcast folder named Mote-Include

Lines 820 and 826. You have a copy from before I fixed some misnamed links. Change the "Mote-Include v3.xml" reference to "Mote-Include.xml".

Edit: Ugh, and apparently I hadn't uploaded the fixed version to my pastebin. Sorry about that.

[gnat]

Works a charm, tyvm for the help guys. Appreciate the effort put into these.
