My first thought is you have a shitload of sets. Is there some max number of sets SC will recognize?

I'm very new to this, not sure if there is a limit. Thank you for the tip. I went ahead and cut many of the sets that are not currently being used. Also removed the repeating sets. But still no luck. Here is the slimmed dowm version. Please take a look.

While in abyssea, my WS gear for Raging Rush is not /equiping, at all. Please help

[Radec]

After buffactive=visitant, it should be if buffactive="berserk", not elseif.

Corrected:

                <if Buffactive="Visitant">
                    <if buffactive="Berserk">
                        <if buffactive="Blood Rage">
                            <!-- WHEN BERK AND BR ARE UP -->
                            <equip when="precast" set="BerkAbysseaRR" />
                        </if>
                        <else>
                            <!-- WHEN JUST BERK IS UP -->
                            <equip when="precast" set="BerkAbysseaRR" />
                        </else>
                    </if>
                    <elseif buffactive="Blood Rage">
                        <!-- WHEN JUST BR IS UP -->
                        <equip when="precast" set="BerkAbysseaRR" />
                    </elseif>
                    <else>
                        <!-- WHEN BERK AND BR ARE NOT UP -->
                        <equip when="precast" set="AbysseaRR" />
                    </else>
                </if>

I'm not aware of any and I can't think of any reason why there would be.

[Yugl]

Motenten's work with Spellcast lag doesn't imply a limit on the number of sets an XML can hold, but does suggest that increasing the number of sets increases lag.

[Atoreis]

I loaded SC for 2 chars and it worked for one but I have fatal error for 2nd :/

Everything I do that involve SC working (like typing /ma spell me w/o "< >" results in unloading the spellcast with fatal error

When I try to load other .xml windower crashes.

Same spellcast and all xmls works for my other char with no problems (also works for 3rd char)

[Churchill]

what happens if you do the commands in normal sc script, eg, //cure4 ato

Are your resources updated on that character, some new piece of gear?

Im unfamiliar with SC. I pretty much started using it week ago. I will bet thats about those non updated resources. I bought new pieces of gear including chelona Boots for example. How I should update it?

EDIT: //cure4 ato crashed windower

[Byrthnoth]

Yeah, Chelona's boots are your problem. Download Radsources.rar from here: https://github.com/radectheblm/Radsources

Expand it, put the files into your resources folder. (Windower/plugins/resources)

I have obis, zodiac ring, twilight cape, and sorcerer's tonban+1. I would love to edit my BLM spellcast so when I nuke and it matches day of the week and/or weather it swaps those pieces in. I tried looking at Motenten's BLM .xml and its way too advanced for me to understand. Can someone please help me! My current blm .xml is linked in the below pastebin. Thank you in advance, I am sure this will involve some work.

Can use this within the include and then add the include line to link to these. After that, adding $Holder(Obi), $Holder(Sorceror_Tonban), etc to the equip section of your spells.

EX:

<equip set="Nuke|$Holder(Obi)" />

Can't figure out why gear swaps aren't working for precasting of JAs with Mote's THF xml. This is my xml

http://pastebin.com/eaGWJnNU

Any help? Things like Collaborator/Violent Flourish/Conspirator/Box Step won't trigger precasts, but for some reason Despoil and Waltzes do.

[grevenilvec75]

Do you have any and all include files in the correct places?

[Landsoul]

How can I simplify this code?

        <if spell="Valor Minuet*">
          <action type="equip" when="precast" set="FastCast">
            <range>Cornette +1</range>
          </action>
          <command when="precast">input /echo :: [Bard - song spellcasting/buff set] ::</command>
          <equip when="midcast" set="SongBuff" />
          <equip when="aftercast" set="Main" />
          <command when="aftercast">input /echo :: [Bard - refresh/idle set] ::</command>
        </if>
        <if spell="Advancing March|Victory March">
          <action type="equip" when="precast" set="FastCast">
            <range>Cornette +1</range>
          </action>
          <command when="precast">input /echo :: [Bard - song spellcasting/buff set] ::</command>
          <equip when="midcast" set="SongBuff" />
          <equip when="aftercast" set="Main" />
          <command when="aftercast">input /echo :: [Bard - refresh/idle set] ::</command>
        </if>

[Yugl]

<if Type="BardSong">
<equip when="Precast" set="FastCast|%Spell-Instrument" />
<command when="precast">input /echo :: [Bard - song spellcasting/buff set] ::</command>
<equip when="midcast" set="SongBuff" />
<equip when="aftercast" set="Main" />
<command when="aftercast">input /echo :: [Bard - refresh/idle set] ::</command>
</if>

And make sets called *Madrigal*-Instrument, *Minuet*-Instrument, *Etude*-Instrument, *March*-Instrument, and others. Place the instrument within those sets.

[Ophannus]

Anyone else use Mote's SCH xml and notice that sometimes it thinks ebullience is on after you've finished nuking in it, and all subsequent nukes will replace with Nares Cap with AF3+2 bonnet as if ebullience is up even when its not? I also discovered that after I perpetuance a spell, it thinks perp is still on and I end up nuking/buffing with AF3+2 hands instead of like Nares Cuffs.

[Khajit]

I'm going to do a few modifications I've needed to do for a while. What would be the code for ensuring athos hands are used when it boosts blade hi? I'm sure it's a modification of my old day/night sets for ws but I've usually not had the inventory space on mage jobs for obis to reember the line offhand. on that note what's the basic/standard Obi code everyone adds since It's about time my ass used that as well. And would if tp=gt275 be the appropriate line to add for my moonshade?

[Yugl]

I posted my Obi codes a bit earlier. That's not "standard", but I like that code since you can adjust which spell groups get the obi.

For athos, use:

Variables
<var name="Athos_Gloves">BlankSet</var>

Rules
<if Day="Dy1|Dy2|Dy3etc" Spell="Blade: Hi">
<var cmd="set Athos_Gloves Athos Gloves" />
</if>
<else>
<var cmd="set Athos_Gloves BlankSet" />
</else>

In your WS <equip> rule, have

<equip set="WSSet|$Athos_Gloves" />

For Moonshade, you can do the same but replace Athos_Gloves with Moonshade_Earring but instead of using

<if Day="Dy1|Dy2|Dy3etc" Spell="Blade: Hi">

use

<if TPGT="275" Spell="Blade: Hi">

Your total WS equip should say <equip set="WSSet|$Athos_Gloves|$Moonshade_Earring" />

IMPORTANT: Make a set called "Athos Gloves" and a set called "Moonshade Earring" and put the equip within those sets.

Any idea why my midcast set won't equip? Sometimes it does and sometimes it just equips only my precast set.

Does it consistently work/fail for a particular song? Fast casting songs with fast cast gear might give you trouble.
