		<if status="Engaged">
			<equip when="aftercast" set="engaged"/>
		</if>
		<else>
			<equip when="aftercast" set="standard"/>
		</else>

put that right before </spellcast> and it should work for all spells/sets

@Nerji: <action .../> is SC2.2* formatting, SC2.3+ don't need it for equip and several other types of command.

before </rules> works. thanks

Anyone have an updated BRD.xml they don't mind sharing?

[Shalafi]

Thanks a ton!

A quick question: is there a way to force the correct spirit to match the day without selecting it via the magic menu? I.E. If I macro Air Spirit, is there a way to have spellcast switch to dark spirit if it's dark day? Just want to see if I can make a single Siphon macro.

Check the comments at the top of the file; ddaydj has accounted for all scenarios and the xml will set the best element for day/weather (conflicting day & weather included), just need to set elemental siphon variable (detailed in the comments at the top)

[Shalafi]

<if spell="*Spirit">
	<action type="Changespell" spell="%DayElement Spirit"/>
</if>

Not a summoner myself, maybe need to do:

<if spell="*Spirit">
<if notspellelement="%dayelement">
	<action type="Changespell" spell="%DayElement Spirit"/>
</if>
</if>

to prevent it looping.

The issue with this is that you can't cast spirits for anything but elemental siphon (I know, who uses spirits for anything BUT elemental siphon).

[Hanyoko]

For proper day spirit I would overwrite something like.. Cure (if cast on self). At these levels I cannot think of any reason you would need to cure 1 yourself. that way you still have functionality of casting whatever spirit you want for a situation.

or could make a chain so that if you use Elemental Siphon ability it will cast the proper day elemental wait a few seconds then use the ability. I know you would have to use raw commands to do this but it should be doable. Might even be able to check if an elemental is up beforehand and thus eliminate the need to summon one.
Someone that knows more about pet usage in spellcast might have to chime up there.

[Shalafi]

Can't siphon without the elemental out.

Like I said, it's covered in the script I posted, need 1 raw command to set the variable.

I was wondering if anyone has a good XML for RDM, my gear is +2 empyrean, morrigan's, Almace (would like a script for when i am one handing and dual wielding) and pretty much all the nice little pretties for rdm.

Also wondering if something can be added to equip empyrean set while composure is up.

Thanks alot

Rules for PDT set, town, Minstrel's earring and such. It's not perfect but it works well for me. (Minstrel's Ring and -hp +mp aside). Everything else should work ok. If you find any faults, please let me know.

Thanks for posting.

When I get a few to implant my gear sets into it and give a whirl, I'll let you know how it does.

I seem to have a problem getting Ambusher's Hose working with my spellcast. I'm not doing anything remotely tricky at all, it just doesn't work. I know it's not the spelling because it works the first time after I zone, but doesn't work anymore after. Wat.

Whenever I try to load a xml, I receive the error "XML Parsing Error: Line 0 - Error document empty". My spellcast is up to date, so it might be my xmls but I'm unsure. http://pastebin.com/8fRsCkju is the original xml I based my WAR's off of and I never encountered an error in prior use.

[Colenzo]

Does anybody know what my xml would look like if I was trying for a good QD setup? http://pastebin.com/BnjpXFUL I found this code in an uploaded xml and was wondering if this would do the trick.

Post the xml files that are giving you the errors, as well as the included files.

Mojo: No idea, post and can look but I can't think of anything that'd cause that.

Need some help on designing this. Since Torcleaver is a WS that has weird modifier, so depends on mob, either attack or VIT or a mix should be used. I plan to have 3 sets of gears for it in one group, let's say to name them TorcleaverVIT, TorcleaverATT, TorcleaverMix. How should I set it so that in game I can just press a macro to say ok, from this point on, all torcleaver will use torcleaverVIT until I press another macro that says to use another one. I believe I can set a variable say X = VIT, ATT, and Mix, and in the setname, I can do torcleaverX. I forgot the specific language that connects variable to set name. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

[Nameless]

ok, let me just set it up and you guys can tell me if it will work.

<var name="X">MIX</var> (mix is the default)

blah blah...

<set name="TorcleaverMIX"/>
<set name="TorcleaverVIT"/>
<set name="TorcleaverATT"/>

blah blah...

<if spell="Torcleaver">
<equip when="precast" set="Torcleaver$X"/>
</if>

And in game I will make macro for //sc var set X VIT and //sc var set X ATT //sc var set X MIX to adjust accordingly

Will that work?

Thank you.

[Radec]

Yes.

Not there yet but keep an eye on http://forums.windower.net/forum-25/...vel-variables/ if you want to make more complicated sets in a similar fashion.

[Nameless]

Ah, interesting, thank you.
