Random Question Thread XII: Don't Believe Advanced's Lies

[Guitarman]

Forgot to ask but do Abyssea Worms give all lights or just Pearl/Ruby/Azure?

just the 3, though the boxes seemed to pop the rest with fair frequency. I had ebon light quite often.

Where is there good evidence to support Counter has an accuracy check built into it, I believe that it does, I'm just wondering how it was 1st discovered or assumed.

Take off your accuracy gear, counterstance, and engage one of those froggies in abyssea-la theine. Count the counters until you die.

The Final Fantasy Ultimate Collection that they sell on Steam, it says it includes all the expansions, does it actually include reg codes for all of them for only $10?

[Johnblaze]

Includes everything but Abyssea in 1 Reg code.

<if buffactive="footwork" status="engaged">
<equip set="fw"/>
</if>
<elseif status="enagged">
<equip set="tp"/>
</elseif>

Something a little more logical.

<if status="engaged">
   <if buffactive="footwork">
      <equip set="fw" />
   </if>
      <else>
         <equip set="tp" />
      </else>
</if>

You can also put the "aftercast" rules for engaged in this one, to keep your code a little cleaner.

I personally use a variable that I set manually if I want to use footwork or not (or auto-cancel footwork after ws if I don't want to use it full-time), and have the rules switch based on that variable, but this is a nice simple way to do it.

Huh, missed this. Go fight some Puks and watch your Counter rate disappear every time they use Flash.

Anyhow, this is the thread that established the relationship, at least as far as I'm aware: http://www.ffxionline.com/forums/mon...nter-data.html

I was thinking of doing a variable like that, but been far too lazy to sit down and actually do it. I suppose it's the cleanest/simplest way of doing it. Thanks a lot.

Got my pc running, but now I need to know how to set my in-game resolution again. I remember seeing a little walkthrough on ffxiwiki a while ago (years). Anyone have one or remember how to do it off the top of their head?

[Clemz]

Windower comes with a GUI that let's you do all of that without messing with the registry. Tick advanced in the GUI to get the extra options.

Can somebody please explain to me what the hell people mean by getting "!!" on abyssea NM's and what they're for?

[rog]

Mobs have weaknesses, which will trigger a !! to appear. It can be triggered by a spell, ws, or ability, and varies by mob, and possibly other things. It affects drops, and can do various things to the mob too.

[Fievel]

Interesting, thank you comic sans.

So for Brooder do I need to get a !! to pop so I can get purple boots? Or will it just increase the chance?

[rog]

Just increases the chance.

How can someone add Abyssea maps to ApRadar?

Can anyone recommend/share a good xml file for bard? I was using Kimem's on the windower site but the functionality of swapping in a lower tier song if i press for something that i can't cast at that moment for whatever reason was annoying.

I've had a quick look at other submitted xmls on the site but they inexplicable gearsets with names like 'buff2' that only the author will ever know their purpose.

ctrl+f buff2, and see when it gets equipped.

Asked in the abyssea-la thiene thread but no response. Strat for Pantagruel? Gigas NM, drops archer's torque.

Not the most user friendly, but if you have any understanding of spellcast it's the best you'll get.
