Yes, that's most likely the bug. I had the same problem with brd, using Pianissimo. I'll put together a similar fix for sch.

**Eastaran** · 2012-12-06 09:34

Awesome, thanks Mote!

**Motenten** · 2012-12-06 20:25

Ok, did a significant overhaul of my sch xml. Should fix the bugs, as well as streamline a few things. Tidied up the queuing info, and revamped how magic sets are configured to match up with CastingMode as well. Doesn't separate out sets by Light Arts/Dark Arts anymore; figure the lower complexity helps speed it up a bit, and there's replacements for gear that's Arts-dependant now that should cover most situations. I might have left it in if not for the fact that, even as it is, I'm at 77/80 inventory, so the space is probably better used on more general-purpose gear.

Wow! Very nice, can't wait to switch over to the new version now, thanks for the awesome XML's Mote!

Looking for some help - never used spellcast before, and am a bit of retard when it comes to this kind of thing.
I downloaded spellcast and put it in my windower plugin folder. When i call up the windower interface in game and type /load spellcast, I get an error message.

What am I doing wrong? I run windows 7 x64.

**Byrthnoth** · 2012-12-07 11:26

Is it an error message that crashes FFXI or a windower console error message (red text?)

Your resources are probably outdated. I think these are up to date, and you specifically need to download "resources.xml" manually because it doesn't update when you do //updateresources in the console.

**Yugl** · 2012-12-07 11:26

Post the Spellcast you downloaded and make sure there aren't any "include" lines.

Nope. Doesn't crash FFXI or windower. GW login doesn't always prompt now since I dropped spellcast.dll into my plugins folder though. that's about it, and the error message.

The message i get is "Error: Spellcastin- failed to load plugin- (126)module not found.

And I re-downloaded windower from their site and it said it was up-to date.

Yugl I will post it in the follow up msg to this one.

Make a folder named "spellcast" (no quotes) and add the XML to that folder. Name the XML YourName_RDM.xml and save the XML within the spellcast folder. The spellcast folder should be where the other .dlls are.

yup - that's what I'm talking about. Told you I was retarded with this shit.
Good talking to you again after all these years Yugl. Will check if that works. ty

Because I lack a lot of situational SCH gear and I'm too lazy to remove it from other SCH XMLs, I decided to make my own SCH spellcast a while back: http://pastebin.com/FSvHmJjk

It worked fine for a while, but recently I've noticed that it doesn't reliably hit 500 skill (sometimes I see 5 TP/tick regain, but sometimes it's 6 TP/tick). My Perpetuance set has 501 skill in it, so this is a mystery to me. I always wait until I see my gear show up in inventory before I start Embravaing and it seems to work about 50% of the time. Sometimes it casts in my Fast Cast set and sometimes it just misses the hat. Why is this happening?

Fixed a few things that shouldn't be affecting the main problem

This might be a reason?
If you Idle in a piece of gear (#1), precast swap into another piece (#2) and try midcast swap back into idle piece (#1) - it won't load. You would need to manually set a midcastdelay=0.6 (or more) for this swapping to work properly. You basically swap gear too fast for spellcast to keep up.
There are only few pieces that cause this problem, ie BRD AF3+2 feet(idle AF3+2->precast AF2+2->midcast AF3+2).
A workaround for this for Embrava I'm using - basically use full 500-skill gear in precast.

Another reason for gear not swapping properly might be, if you use precast->midcast swaps, but don't specify midcastdelay= In such situation precast and midcast get processed instantly together at the start of casting.

**Cursed** · 2012-12-07 12:58

still getting same error.
how do i manually update "resources"?

**Yugl** · 2012-12-07 13:00

There are two resources locations.

resources folder > delete all the stuff within that folder
within the plugins folder, there is a script called resources > delete the script named resources

then type //updateresources while in game. Looking for that module error now though.

**Yugl** · 2012-12-07 13:18

If updating resources doesn't work, try removing

Code:

    \';lkjhgfyu

from the XML too (Should do that anyways). Some other people had that issue when they installed two instances of windower as well.

**Yugl** · 2012-12-07 13:18

double.

where is that exactly? and i have 3 instances installed.

**Cursed** · 2012-12-07 14:02

updating resources does nothing now.
I think im just going to delete all instances of windower and install from scratch.

**Yugl** · 2012-12-07 14:09

There was a post on FFXIAH where someone had the same 126 module error due to installments of windower. Your issue could also be due to the UAC level according to this thread.

**Darkmagi** · 2012-12-07 14:11

Yes, delete all instances of windower, I'm fairly sure that's your issue. I helped someone with the same thing a while back and that's the only thing that worked.
