Spellcast Help Thread (Link your XML using Pastebin.com for help!)

[Radec]

Ok so I copied my xml into this, hit the convert button, and I cant find any noticable changes. It didn't even change the equip parts am I doing something wrong?


Edit: and if I just went through manually to change all the equips, how do I handle stuff like this?
<if advanced="$SubBody=1">
<equip when="Precast|Midcast">
<body>Argute Gown</body>
</equip>
Would it still change into the gown, since wouldn't it need to call a set?


Well I went through and changed everything manually, bit its still not working, im assuming I did something wrong again, heres the updated file thanks for all the help guys!

This tool is for converting 2.23 and below to 2.3, not 2.3 to 2.23. You're downgrading the way you're doing it, rather than upgrading every other file.

[Khamsin]

I recently changed to 2.3, but I'm noticing some issues with regex. I changed the old (regex)..(/regex) to the new regex(..) style, but it seems to convert everything to lowercase so such things as \W and \w or \S and \s don't work anymore. \W is supposed to be a non-word character, and \w is supposed to be a word character. Yet both \W and \w are interpreted the same (as \w, a word character).

Anyone know how to remedy that?

Im so confused now, so what do I do to fix my xml file?

[Radec]

Before you posted here, you had
BLM+Other Jobs: 2.23 version
SCH: 2.3 version
Spellcast: 2.23 version

They'll all work if you DL spellcast 2.3, but you should convert your blm and other jobs to 2.3 versions using the tool linked.

Link to 2.3 is in the OP of this thread.

Here is where I think you got confused (spoilered for you can ignore this, to reduce confusion)

Spoiler: show

If for whatever reason, like the regex changes posted above, you can't or won't use 2.3, changing <equip../> to <action type="equip"../> in your SCH xml will make it work with 2.23.

Since this is a 2.3 thread, I'd like everyone to be using it, means that when I paste <equip../> sections it'll work, but I realize this is just "spellcast help" at this point.

Oh thanks, wow not sure how I missed what you were saying lol. Ok ill try that when I get a chance thanks!

You're just missing an </if> before </rules> at the end. Add that and it'll be fine~

[Suljin]

Ok so /retard off figured out all the stupid stuff from last night, updated to 3.0 and everything works except on my sch one after resting and correctly changing to resting gear, when I get up it doesn't swap into idle gear . I checked casting and all that gear works fine. I went through I couldn't see any blatant errors, though im also not good at spellcast (clearly lol)

Did you not have an addendum up? you only have idle sets when in add:whm or add:blm.

Use this instead at line 206, assuming if you don't have either set of books up you're in whm mode (3rd equip set)

<!-- set of gear to equip when Addendum: Black is active and finished casting a spell or coming back from resting mp (idle set) -->
<if buffactive="Addendum: Black|Dark Arts">
	<equip when="Idle|Aftercast" set="BLM_Mode" />
</if>
<!-- set of gear to equip when Addendum: White is active and finished casting a spell or coming back from resting mp (idle set) -->
<elseif buffactive="Addendum: White|Light Arts">
	<equip when="Idle|Aftercast" set="WHM_Mode" />
</elseif>
<else>
	<equip when="Idle|Aftercast" set="WHM_Mode" />
</else>

Haha awesome! Ty so much! No clue how much I appreciate the help!

[shepardG]

Has 2.3 came out of beta yet?

Has 2.3 came out of beta yet?

Aikar said 2.3 is pretty much done when I talked to him on AIM. He may have been messing with me though.

Spoiler: show

But most Tarus know better than to do that.

Nevermind

Is there a way to make rules that recognize the weapon you currently have equipped, and then equip gear according to that?

<if equipmain="weapon name">
<whatever you want to do>
</if>

[Khajit]

NVm. already answered.

[kenshyn]

<if equipmain="weapon name">
<whatever you want to do>
</if>

I wish that could be weapon type ;;

[Esvedium]

I wish that could be weapon type ;;

How many weapons of a particular type do you have? You can do something like:

<if equipmain="plaga scythe|perdu sickle|death scythe">
<whatever you want to do>
</if>
<elseif equipmain="nightfall|algol|naglering">
<whatever else you want to do>
<elseif>

Is anybody else having issues having trouble getting spellcast to equip their Graiai Earring? In auto-trans it has a space after earring so I've tried the following:
<lear>Graiai Earring</lear>
<lear>Graiai Earring </lear>
<lear>Graiai Earring_</lear>
<lear>"Graiai Earring "</lear>
<lear>"Graiai Earring_"</lear>

The damn thing just won't equip it no matter what. Any suggestions?

Probably is the same as the 2nd line, but set a variable

<var name="dumbEarring">Gralai Earring </var>

and equip it

<lear>$dumbEarring</lear>

Maybe try &nbsp; as well, <lear>Graiai Earring&nbsp;</lear> - I can't imagine why it would work, but the extra character is already confusing enough.

Oh, what does typing /echo "%equiplear" give when it's on left ear? if you run logger, might be able to copy w/e that is into spellcast, if it's some nonstandard character.
