Try to visit windowed forum but it came up "Apache Test Page".
Did I go to wrong one?
Windower.net?

If anyone can help, much appreciated!

Is there a fix yet for the bug where it interprets BPs and BST pet abilities as BLU spells and BLM magic spells? e.g. Blizzard II/IV, Filamented Hold, etc.

Try using the work around casting raw just sub in /pet or ma and the spell

<if spell="Protect*">
<castdelay delay="3" />
<command when="precast">input /raw /ja "Celerity" <me></command>
<command when="aftercast">input /raw /ma %Spell <me></command>
</if>

Doing this type of method fixed my shiva sleepga failure on smn.

But that won't make your equipment swap in or out, it just straight casts it. Suppose it's better than nothing, but hope it gets fixed soon in the next update of spellcast.

Can make an alias; this allows you to have a short command to type and will also trigger spellcast to switch out gear.

Just add the line to swap gear like so sorry I assumed you knew that: Then add one for aftercast to change gear back:

<if spell="Protect*">
<castdelay delay="3" />
<action type="Equip" when="precast" set="CHR" />
<command when="precast">input /raw /ja "Celerity" <me></command>
<command when="aftercast">input /raw /ma %Spell <me></command>
<action type="Equip" when="aftercast">
<body>Gaudy Harness</body>
</action>
</if>

Many ways to do it actually when you use command you can change gear cast spells and job abilities all in a sequence.

a perfect example is this using command and waits you can add gear sets pre/mid/after cast actions:

<elseif Spell="Sleep II|Sleepga II">
<if advanced='"$varSleepMessages"="1"'>
<if advanced='"$varComments"="1"'>
<action type="AddToChat">%Spell Process State</action>
</if>
<action type="command" when="aftercast">wait 14;input /echo ==== %Spell off @ 1:45 ====</action>
<action type="command" when="aftercast">wait 29;input /echo ==== %Spell off @ 1:30 ====</action>
<action type="command" when="aftercast">wait 44;input /echo ==== %Spell off @ 1:15 ====</action>
<action type="command" when="aftercast">wait 59;input /echo ==== %Spell off @ 1:00 ====</action>
<action type="command" when="aftercast">wait 74;input /echo ==== %Spell off @ 0:45 ====</action>
<action type="command" when="aftercast">wait 89;input /echo ==== %Spell off @ 0:30 ====</action>
<action type="command" when="aftercast">wait 104;input /echo ==== %Spell off @ 0:15 ====</action>
<action type="command" when="aftercast">wait 114;input /echo ==== %Spell off @ 0:05 ====</action>
</if>
</elseif>

If you list the spells and gear sets precast and aftercast I can write them up and post them after I test them at home. I love spellcast....

**Haborym** · 2010-07-13 12:16

is this the proper way to set up a prefacst.

Code:

<action type="equip" when="precast" set="FastCast" />
<action type="castdelay" delay="0.3"/>
<equip when="precast" Set="Fastcast"/>

Thanks, now one more question! Is this the right code for idling in Garden Bangles only during the day?

Code:

<if status="Idle" TimeLT="6.01" TimeGT="18.00">
<return />
     <else>
        <equip>
        <hands lock="t">Garden Bangles</hands>
        </equip>
     </else>
</if>

Reverse it basically that indicates night time what your doing...

Code:

<if TimeLT="18.01" TimeGT="6.00">
			<action type="var" cmd="set DayOrNight Day"/>
		</if>

**Haborym** · 2010-07-15 17:09

So I made a set named DayIdle for the bangles. Then this should work?

Code:

<if status="Idle" TimeLT="18.01" TimeGT="6.00">
<action type="equip cmd="DayIdle"/>
</if>

**Kalisa** · 2010-07-15 19:37

Short version: I'd like to make rules that don't replace my crap with Dusk Gloves if I'm not in combat.

Details: I'm a DNC. I have Dusk Gloves in my "Melee" set, but I wear relic gloves in my "Idle" set so I'm not slowed all the time. I have a Waltz set that equips my AF body/Relic head. This Waltz set is based on my Melee set, so it includes my Dusk Gloves. If I decide to do a waltz outside of combat, it equips my Dusk Gloves and I have to manually switch back out of them.

What XML do I need to use to make my Waltz set switch back to my Idle set instead of my Melee set aftercast if and only if I'm not engaged?

**Innuendo** · 2010-07-16 07:09

What XML do I need to use to make my Waltz set switch back to my Idle set instead of my Melee set aftercast if and only if I'm not engaged?

I'm not sure this is the best way, but I think it should work:

Code:

<if spell="*Waltz">
<action type="equip" delay="0.3" when="precast" set="Waltz" />
<if NotStatus="Engaged"> 
<action type="equip" when="aftercast" set="Idle" />
</if>
<else>
<action type="equip" when="aftercast" set="Melee" />
</else>
</if>

Thief XML question:
For using sneak attack/trick attack I want to swap out of my SA/TA set as soon as possible after my next hit lands. How can I do this without having to hit another macro after my next hit?

**kenshyn** · 2010-07-16 09:33

Code:

		<if spell="autoset">
			<equip when="idle" set="idle" /> 
			<equip when="engaged" set="TP" /> 
		</if>
			<elseif status="engaged">
				<equip when="aftercast" set="TP" />
			</elseif>
				<else>
					<equip when="aftercast" set="idle" />
				</else>

On sneak attack the problem comes in that spellcast needs a trigger for it to check its rules its easy to set gear on using a JA or a spellcast a bit harder to use spellcast alone when you lose a buff you would have to use autoexec in conjunction with spellcast I believe. See this Thf xml http://paste.windower.net/plugins/sp...f/ineptvagrant

**HKR** · 2010-07-17 08:14

Occasionally I'm getting spellcast messages that my nuking sets have poor practice on XML. I'm also noticing that my high resist set is being used for everything now instead of my full damage set when it should be. Anyone want to see what they can make of this jumbled mess?

If you change the else statement into an elseif statement, it should work. The way its set up now, it will never reach the last elseif statement. Also if you happen to be fighting tiamat,genbu,kirin,jol etc, and you happen to use ES before your nuke, you'll be nuking in your idle set fyi

The elseif bit worked, how do you recommended I change it so the ele-seal part works?
