Issue w/ Windower Freezing When Running Spellcast

[Callisto]

Hey guys, having a Windower issue, tried their forums but no luck really so figured I'd try here...

I started using SpellCast recently, and I'm having an issue where it works fine when I'm doing something light like killing EPs outside of town. My xml itself appears to be fine, but when I try to do something more intensive like meritting where I have lots of animation flying around after about 5-15 minutes my Windower locks up...if I restart it, unload SC and go back to my plain script macros it works fine again.

I'm thinking it's an actual problem with my computer, nothing in the SC debug log looks off, Windower just dies on me here and there when someone dings a merit or a bard song fires. No idea where to start looking at for a fix, turned my graphics down a bit which helped but only extended the length of time before it crashed by a few minutes a pop, any advice is appreciated.

If it's applicable my laptop is running Vista Home Premium 32b on a Toshiba Satellite A215-S5837, 2.0GB, Radeon X1200.

Thanks~

Make sure you're using the beta version of Spellcast on the forums, not from windower.net/plugins/spellcast.

Make sure you're using the beta version of Spellcast on the forums, not from windower.net/plugins/spellcast.

I'll give that a shot, I'm still using 2.22, thanks.

He meant the beta hook file not the Spellcast cast beta which is 3.42.2.

Along with Retice's suggestion, using the Spellcast Beta as well as the Windower hook beta probably wouldn't hurt your chances. Be sure to read the Spellcast Beta thread before playing with it, though, as there are some changes and I believe <rule> was officially dropped. Aikar posted a syntax converter to update XML files to work with the newest version, so copy/paste yours in there before-hand.

Did anyone on their forums look at your XML in regards to efficiency? It's a long shot, but if you pastebin'd I'd be willing to give it a once-over just in case?

Oh and the lag is Isladar slowly sucking your soul out over time. She's getting weak and feeble and needs to wash in the blood of your lifeless body to restore that angry luster.
