Spellcast // recast status?

[Mazmaz]

My spellcast was working fine, but now all of a sudden it keeps unloading and saying something about fatal error and access violation in Outgoing Text method. Any idea what that is?

[stewie]

Nvm I'm stupid!

Having any of the new equipment on, including and especially magian weapons, makes spellcast explode.

Even if the name of the weapons isn't in your .xml?

[Clerix]

I keep getting a c++ error on my spellcast whenever I load it.

Do I have an out of date notepad++ or something?

Stop equipping Trial of the Maigister weapons with spellcast on, problem solved.

Spellcast can't do any new spells or items until the resources.xml is updated with them.

Oh, right, I totally forgot I equipped my Magian weapon when trying to put trial on it D:

Is there a way to manually update my resources.xml? I imagine if I could somehow locate the item ID that it would be possible. Any help with either locating the item ID or otherwise updating it would be appreciated.

This seems to be working for me but I've only used it for an hour or so.

You need POLUtils for this as far as I know.

Open POLUtils
Choose FFXI Data Browser

Weapons or Armor

Extract list as XML

Open the xml file
Lag out some more
Search for your weapon name - in my case, Peeler.

All you really need is the "<field name="id">19332</field>"

Go to /Windower/plugins/resources/, open either weapons or armor as needed, and add a row at the very bottom. I assumed the nonenglish names only matter on nonenglish clients and just added:

<i id="19332" enl="Peeler" fr="Peeler" frl="peeler" de="Peeler" del="peeler" jp="Peeler" jpl="1">Peeler</i>

Long as the id and your local language match I'd guess you're fine.

Update: Untested because I don't have them yet, all the daggers.

<i id="19332" enl="peeler" fr="Peeler" frl="peeler" de="Peeler" del="peeler" jp="Peeler" jpl="1">Peeler</i>

Thanks very much for the fix. If anyone else wants fixes for specific items let me know.

[Deelo]

Anybody working on text/icons to make FFXI pretty again ?

[Devinry]

FFXI Style v. 1.15 works fine. Just need to re-replace the dats.

oh...thank you!

I'm not 100% certain, but an easier way to find the Item ID is to look it up on FFXIAH

http://www.ffxiah.com/item.php?id=11628

the 11628 would be the ID for Strigoi Ring if I'm not mistaken

add that to the end of the armors txt

Just checked this, and it appears to be correct. Though, to be fair, at the time when i originally asked the question the items I don't BELIEVE were on ffxiah. Certainly thanks for the tip though.

In game, //updateresources


Resources XML is now updated for the update.

[DAKPluto]

NEW INFO:

If you are updating and the new items are still causing an issue, check your resources files in the Plugins/Resources folder.

If the file dates are from November or earlier, you probably have an entry in your hosts system file that points to the now old windower servers. This is not a correct entry anymore and preventing your update. Remove it.

Has there been any fix to Recast to handle the "Unknown-Ability" thing?

For recast you need to download the resources.xml from the windower wiki and put that in the plugins directory. It is up to date.
