Well I tried running your XML and its definitely outdated for 2.4. The rule itself is fine though as I used it in my BLM xml and everything worked out fine (granted I don't have the cape).
I think there is some tool that can auto-update your spellcast to meet 2.3/2.4 requirements in terms of syntax and such. However I'll post my spellcast for you to reference.

This code does in fact work for the cape:

Code:

					<if Advanced='"%SpellElement" = "%WeatherElement" OR "%SpellElement" = "%DayElement"'>
						<equip when="midcast">
							<back lock="yes">Twilight Cape</back>
						</equip>	
					</if>

Uhm speaking of updating the syntax (boolean in particular) you should probably get the new Sorc. Tonban line to replace. I know for sure the old Aikar one does not work anymore.

Code:

			<if Advanced='(!((bool)strmatch("* x2","%Weather")  AND "%WeatherElement" = "%SpellElement" AND "$%SpellElementObi" = "1") OR !("%WeatherElement" = "%spellElement")) AND ("%SpellElement" = "%DayElement" AND "$BLMAF2Pants" = "1") AND ("%skill"="ElementalMagic")'>
                <equip when="midcast">
                    <legs lock="yes">Sorcerer's Tonban</legs>
                </equip>
            </if>

You could delete the whole obi section and replace it with what he has

Yeah your spellcast would work with an older version. It wouldn't work in 2.3/2.4 unless you update the xml itself.

Would this work with 2.4 and im guessing i would just edit my gear back in?

<if Advanced='(!((bool)strmatch("* x2","%Weather") AND "%WeatherElement" = "%SpellElement" AND "$%SpellElementObi" = "1") OR !("%WeatherElement" = "%spellElement")) AND ("%SpellElement" = "%DayElement" AND "$BLMAF2Pants" = "1") AND ("%skill"="ElementalMagic")'>
<equip when="midcast">
<legs lock="yes">Sorcerer's Tonban</legs>
</equip>
</if>

Ok recently got Twilight Cape as well, trying to implement it into spellcast. I know with Tonban, we have the above rule to avoid using Tonban during double weather condition, since the bonus would be capped at .35 with obi alone. However, I was reading the above rule, which I know everyone has been using for a long time, and thought that shouldn't the line "%SpellElementObi" = "1"" be = 0 instead? The idea is to check if you have the obi, if no and during double weather, you should equip Tonban during midcast. But with = 1, doesn't it mean, if you have the obi, and during double weather, equip tonban during midcast.

The reason I am trying to understand it is that I would like to only use the Cape when there is single weather, and would like to make similar rule for the cape.

Thank you.

trying to set a stance on 2 ability up but not sure how to type it

<if mode="And" Buffactive="counterstance|Focus">
<var cmd="set Stance Focuscounter" />
</if>

with this it set if any of the 2 ability is up

**Radec** · 2010-12-18 23:53

That'll work if focus or counterstance is up, to do both you'd need

<if buffactive="focus">
<if buffactice="counterstance">
set stance
</if>
</if>

This was my first attempt at spellcast, so my apologies if it is broken beyond fixing. I was looking for a good pup xml, but none had everything that I wanted, so I tried to alter an old rdm xml that my ls leader used that was further altered by me, so it's probably messed up in several places. The gearsets themselves are ok, but the toggles are not triggering the same when I use the rdm xml, so the rules are most likely messed up.

http://pastebin.com/HTRn6JW2

The main things I wanted was to be able to toggle between idling in town/pdt/mdt/mp sets, switching between using a standard tp and eva set for engaged, and using a pet:matk set on Deploy when using the blm automaton for the duration of the nuke.

**Radec** · 2010-12-19 14:32

L306: is a /l in the advanced, assuming that was supposed to be into game chat instead, but that'd only alter melee toggles. I wish I could find the post now, but if that does fix it, there was a few points a while back about the use of " " in advanced rules comparing numbers, that it should be (L306 again for example) advanced='$Melee=1' instead. Worth a shot, I'll edit in a link if I find it.

**tenkiki** · 2010-12-19 16:49

Fixed L306 and the use of " " in a few of the advanced rules, but I think the problem was a stray </if> around L396 and missing a </if> right after the impact gear swap to idle according to spellcast. Everything seems to be in working order now except for having the blmpup gear swap not stay in for the duration of the nuke (L336ish)

**Radec** · 2010-12-19 18:25

When you hit deploy, standtime is set to aftercast, and the aftercast portion of the nuking equip set gets overwritten.

Quick fix would be change <else><var cmd="set StandTime aftercast" /></else> to <elseif notspell="Deploy"><var cmd="set StandTime aftercast" /></elseif> but any action except the toggle spells or autoset would change standtime.

**Novax** · 2010-12-19 18:34

Was there something needed to download w/ the update? Since then using sorc -mp set will leave both neck and waist on for nukes.

Edit: Using 2.40 now.

Do you have something like this in your rules, not within some other <if>'s?

Code:

<if status="engaged">
	<equip when="aftercast" set="whateveryoucallyourtpset" />
</if>
	<elseif status="idle">
	    <equip when="aftercast" set="idle" />
	</elseif>
