Had a quick question about convert. I'm a taru, so I don't idle in enough hp to cover my mp + a cure 4. So I was wondering how it would be possible to basically set up a convert macro w/ spellcast that swapped to a set of gear -> cured me -> converted -> cure IV -> idle... Tried a few times and never got it quite right. Not using Divine Seal either if that's any help. Any help would be appreciated. - Fixed, Thanks.

Could someone help me with this problem I'm having with Aiker's blm xlm? It's the part about the checking my hp and sub job for the Sorcerer's Ring. It's changing to my minushp gear even when my hp is below the max amount of hp I put to it and the sub I'm using.

This is the original, causing the problem (I'm on 2.3)

                            <if advanced='$Ring == 1'>
                                <!-- make sure we have an HP variable set for current subjob -->
                                <if Advanced='"$%SubJobRingHP" !="\$%SubJobRingHP"'>
                                    <if Advanced='%HP &gt; $%SubJobRingHP'>
                                        <!-- if you have too much HP at the time of casting, equip minus hp -->
                                        <equip set="MinusHP" />
                                    </if>
                                </if>
                                <else>
                                    <!-- if no HP amount is specified for the current subjob, just always equip minushp as precast -->
                                    <equip set="MinusHP" />
                                </else>
                                <equip when="midcast">
                                    <lring>Sorcerer's Ring</lring>
                                </equip>
                            </if>

And this below should fix your problem.

                            <if advanced='$Ring == 1'>
                                    <if Advanced='%HP &gt; $%SubJobRingHP'>
                                        <equip set="MinusHP" />
                                    </if>
                                <equip when="midcast">
                                    <lring>Sorcerer's Ring</lring>
                                </equip>
                            </if>

i'm having a problem with my drk's xml. i have an older one i've been using for about a year now, works fine. i was trying to consolidate it a bit and use variables for which accessories i have according to which weapon i have equipped, and which body too use according to the group i'm in. however, it won't change the variables out of their starting values. i'm sure i've done something really simple and stupid with this...

any help would be appreciated. thanks ~

I only spent 10 mins looking at it, but from what I can see <if main="Subduer" > is faulty. Main refers to main job and not the equip slot afaik. Couldn't find a reason to why your body gear wouldn't change though.

[Thorny]

Hi all, this is a question regarding PLD spellcast with autoexec.

What I am trying to do is to use autoexec to switch to shield gears when shadow wears off. That part is easy, as I can just add buff_loss=copy_image //sc set shield, and be done with (not the exact way to write it but you get the idea). However, for those who also use cancel plugin to cancel shadow when casting Ichi, this will also trigger autoexec to think that shadow wore (or would it?) and go on with the shield set mid way casting Ichi. Is there a way to avoid that? I was thinking of making the autoexec to cast a dummy spell, which will then have a precast set of shield gears and cancel spell, when shadow wears instead of switching to shield set directly, and use certain rules to prevent this. But I can't think of a way to make spellcast not cast that dummy spell when I am midway casting ichi or Ni.

Help will be great. Thank you.

Have your spellcast set a variable named casting to 1 when you start casting ichi, with an aftercast action of setting it back to 0. In your dummy spell, put an advanced rule checking if that variable is 1, and if so, use return.

son of a whore. i thought that was exactly how you worded it for main/sub weapon equips. i may go stab myself with something jagged now. thanks.

Just made a SC for my wife's Rdm and it is working semi well, but there seems to be something wrong with the rules section. It will put on enhancing builds for stoneskin and phalanx. It will do the FC/Conserve MP for haste/Refresh. But it wont change to MND/INT builds for enfeebles, or my curing sets, or nuking sets, or anything else.

Anyone see the problem?

These are based off of Ryuke's Rdm example, using Spellcast 2.3.

[mallister]

ok, changed the <if main = "X weapon" > to <if equipmain="X weapon" >. also, i saw that using an apostrophe in the variable wasn't a good idea, so i changed to the &apos; instead.

the rules parse, i can tell by the echos for each one. however, it's STILL not changing the variables and now i'm really friggin clueless. i'm obviously missing, well, something obvious...

relevant changes here: http://pastebin.com/3fF2Kc3B

good friend of mine pointed out something:

this line "<action type="var" command="set tpbody Hauberk +1" />" should read "<action type="var" cmd="set tpbody Hauberk +1" />". problem solved!

also, it's pole grip, not pole strap. had that in one of the variable calls. didn't help much ~

[mallister]

here is the completed xml if anyone's interested:

http://pastebin.com/C2fshhHA

[test123]

If a buff runs out or you cancel a one, spellcast does not change back to another set. How do you fix this?

[Neosutra]

Just made a SC for my wife's Rdm and it is working semi well, but there seems to be something wrong with the rules section. It will put on enhancing builds for stoneskin and phalanx. It will do the FC/Conserve MP for haste/Refresh. But it wont change to MND/INT builds for enfeebles, or my curing sets, or nuking sets, or anything else.

Anyone see the problem?

These are based off of Ryuke's Rdm example, using Spellcast 2.3.

Anyone have any input on this ? Really want to get the rules working so my wife doesnt fail so much (jk Ala dont kill me >.>).

[Nameless]

Have your spellcast set a variable named casting to 1 when you start casting ichi, with an aftercast action of setting it back to 0. In your dummy spell, put an advanced rule checking if that variable is 1, and if so, use return.

Thank you for the reply. A couple follow up questions tho:

First of all, let's say I have set the dummy spell as flood II in my autoexec to cast when shadows wear, and on the top of my rule section in spellcast, I go:

<If spell="Flood II">
<if status="engaged">
<equip when="precast" set="shield"/>
</if>
<cancelspell/>
</if>

This is what I currently have. Do I have to add an <else> rule to let spell know to do nothing when status="idle" etc or does it not matter?

In addition to that, let's say I add the advance rule like you said, and add a return if variable = 1, will it not switch to my aftercast gears after the ichi casting since I am not parsing the rest of the rules? In other words, I still want to switch back to TP set after casting ichi, wouldn't <return/> make it not do that? or will spellcast parse at the end of the ichi cast?

Thank you.

Let's say you do something and spellcast sends the new /equip commands to the ffxi server. Will spellcast resend /equip for slots that does not need to change?

I keep getting "You were unable to change your equipped items" eventho nothing should be changed, IE idle = melee set, getting msg after engage.

[test123]

Can someone tell my WHY spellcast wants to equip an item that is already on?

If it is already on, why try to equip it? this causes a few FFXI errors, namly two rings with the same name but you only use one for a set.

Change all Type="______*" to Skill="____*"

Type is WhiteMagic, BlackMagic, BlueMagic etc

Aside from Spellcast, this is an SE coding error. The game cannot differentiate between the two items, because they are exactly the same. Therefore your macro/spellcast is trying to equip both items simultaneously into the same slot, hence the game error.

If spellcast was programmed a little better, there would be no need for spellcast to try to equip something that is already equipped.

Say if "WS set" has 5 items different then "Idle set" then why should spellcast try to update all 14 slots causing the error when it could just update the 5 slots instead.

[Yabby]

I think that is more of an SE error than spellcast. Considering i've had problems equiping same item names in two different slots before i started using spellcast.
