I'm trying to get it so that I can be doing work, etc. on the computer i.e. FFXI isn't the window of focus, and it plays a notification sound when the weather in a zone changes to a desirable one for Magian trials.

<autoexec>
<!--Weather-->
<register event="weather_Thunder" silent="true"><trigger sound ="TellSound"/></register>
<register event="weather_Thunder_x2" silent="true"><trigger sound ="TellSound"/></register>
<register event="weather_Fire" silent="true"><trigger sound ="TellSound"/></register>
<register event="weather_Fire_x2" silent="true"><trigger sound ="TellSound"/></register>
</autoexec>

It makes no complaints for syntax when I run it through Notepad++, but it doesn't work either, so I'm obviously doing something wrong. Any help would be much appreciated.

I believe spellcast and autoexec together can do this you will have to basically loop an action that then checks for weather and beeps when it is up could even set it up to beep for specific weather. The best way to start would be to use any of the auto-spell snippets as a base.

Anyone able to figure out a few posts back why my pup xml doesn't work?

[azagarth]

I would also like to know as its better than my xml and would like to use it ;D

First off, in your include (http://pastebin.com/aNbzae40) line 14 has an open tag, erase the leftover < .

Next make sure your include is saved as Maneuvers.xml in the same directory as your PUP.xml and it should work.

[azagarth]

hey would anyone possibly have a pretty much completed, up to date xml for blu? I am horrid at making them, and the only ones I can find online are from 2009 or earlier and well... the jobs changed way to much for what they have.

[Suljin]

Oh ok yea stupid me, didnt close the line on the maneuver part. Only problem I noticed now, is that it only changes into the manuever sets while im not fighting. When fighting, it only equips the maneuver base set, but wont equip the additional equipment for each special maneuver unless im not currently engaged (thus defeating the point). Anyone know a way around this?

[mistmonster]

Anyone have a good SAM 2.3 spellcast that they would be willing share? I was trying to use my mnk one as a template but I just see so much else I could be doing with it, I just fail at writing it

[Kvazz]

I'm pretty new to spellcast, and I'm loving it so far.
But there is one annoying thing..
If I'm casting a spell, then picks anotherone from the list before the other spell finishes, when It tries to swap back to idle set I just get a ton of "You cannot perform that action on the selected sub-target".
Any way to get rid of this? make it not swap to idle while I got somebody targeted or something?

You may want to actually post your code so we can see what's wrong. Use pastebin or [code] if you have to.

I got the same problem with both my BLM and RDM .xml, they are based on two different .xmls.
Should I just post my rules from one of them? or the whole thing?

[Massimo]

Just post the whole thing in 2 different pastebins.

[Kvazz]

Wont let me post URLs, tells me I need 10 posts Q_Q

[Massimo]

Seperate some of the letters in the URLs or PM me them.

That's part of the game. If you use an in-game macro that swaps gear (swap > ws > wait1 > swap), then bring up your magic menu, expand the chat log, go to your equip screen, etc, you'll get the same type of message. The game is too stupid to swap gear while you have a sub-target selected, have another window up, etc. It has nothing to do with spellcast, you just see a lot of lines (as it tries to swap to your full idle set, or whatever), instead of 1-2 lines that you would see with an in-game macro.

Yeah I know, why I asked "make it not swap to idle while I got somebody targeted or something?"

With my old windower scripts I had /wait then /console exec idle.txt blabla after every spell, to make it swap into idle automaticly.
So when I pushed another macro, I'd cancel the other macro and it wouldnt equip my idle set, so no errors.

Removing all the useless BasSet="Standard"'s fixed the whole going back to (sometimes partial) idle set at the start of casts for me. If your problem is in the game mechanics, where you get errors while in a menu, then there's nothing to do and it is unrelated to spellcast.

I'd definitely remove all the BaseSet="Standard" that serves no purpose though, and see if it that makes it any better for you.

So basicly If I wanna use spellcast on RDM I gotta live with the annoying spam Q_Q
Guess I can just make an idle macro and do it manually.
Notice it quite alot on RDM, specially when I cure-spam.
Cure4 -> ready cure3 -> errorspam -> cast cure3 -> ready cure4 -> errorspam D:

[Massimo]

That's what I'm saying. Remove the .. I'll do it for you.

RDM. Your BLM doesn't do it.
