Be sure to get the updated resources.xml from the link there, and follow the directions.
The official update is done ^^
Big thanks to Hyshio for assisting with the bug testing and the help in general since he had permissions and I didn't ^^

Tis a good day. Thank you windower gods

**Kainos** · 2010-10-08 06:19

yay! thank you GUYS

**Appie** · 2010-10-08 12:55

Thanks, no more "Uknown Ability"! \O/

**Valient** · 2010-10-08 16:10

One mistake I've noticed so far is THF ability despoil is labeled incorrectly. In the old version it was labeled as Ready. This version it's labeled as "Pet Commands".

Code:

 
<entry id="55" index="255" prefix="/jobability" english="Pet commands" german="Dressur" french="Familier" japanese="ペットコマンド" type="JobAbility" element="None" targets="Self" skill="Ability" mpcost="0" tpcost="-1" casttime="0" recast="0" />

Guessing I can just delete that line and change steal to be steal/despoil as they are on a shared timer atm. In the future SE may break them up. At least they can since they have separate IDs.

**SnickySnacks** · 2010-10-08 16:48

Deleting the line just makes it go to the next index="255" line (Heel, in this case). Wonder if this requires a modification of recast itself since it doesn't seem to have enough information to differentiate between certain abilities...

I have been getting a connection timed out error for the last 2 days trying to download the new resources.xml file, can someone host it somewhere for me please?

My smn friend is reporting all smn bloodpacts of any avatar as showing up as carby's bloodpacts in recast after updating resources. I go on mnk/smn 11 and replicated the problem as well using garuda's claw (which showed as poison nails in recast). Did something get screwed up?

**Yekyaa** · 2010-10-09 03:26

We'll be redoing an update hopefully sometime this weekend. Out of everything, the only problem is with Steal/Despoil.
It displays properly in the one we're working on, but as far as we can tell, due to a bug in recast, it also pops an Unknown-Ability (index 255) as well.
This is the only problem. Once we've checked a few other things this weekend, we'll re-release the updated resources.xml and the spels/abils also.
We want to apologize as we were sure we had tested everything, but now we both have the necessary access to do testing without affecting the public release.

Also, due to an existing problem with spellcast and recast, handling of BSTs Ready TP attacks with the same name as BLU spells may present a problem.
We'll try to iron out the details later as he has BST and I have BLU at the necessary levels to accomplish the testing.
Just thought I'd provide an update on this. Again, sorry for all the problems, things will be definitely fixed by the end of the weekend barring any other surprises.

**pugnax179** · 2010-10-09 06:44

my recast still shows unknown ability, did i do something wrong?

-edit- nvm, figured out the problem

**Stromgarde** · 2010-10-09 20:45

I'm still having the unknown ability problem, what did you do to fix it?

**The Blackrose** · 2010-10-10 15:16

Something I've noticed: instead of saying "Strategems:" in Recast like it used to, it's saying "Penury:" for strategem recast. Just something that sort of drives me nuts.

EDIT: Tried swapping arts and other things to see if it ends up breaking. It looks fine.

**Yekyaa** · 2010-10-10 21:25

Ok, updated. Follow the instructions as before.
Tested further. Problem lies with recast regarding Steal/Despoil, it shows up properly, but pops a 255 index with Unknown-Ability at the same time.
Minor aesthetic problem. Re: SMN, BLM spells and BLU, BST Job Abilities vs spells. Aliases with spellcast such as //fire2 or //foot kick typically favor /magic first, and assumes that to be the prefix.
I'm working on getting spellcast rebuilt with a temp fix. SMN JAs are pushed to /pet no matter what. BLU and BST have no such priority, so /magic is used first...
Shouldn't be any problems using them from the command-window or fully typing out the spell.
Until I can get spellcast recompiled on my home system, I'm going to work on repairing it in the meantime.

**cdgreg** · 2010-10-10 21:35

Before I upgrade, has anyone tested with yarnball? I know it's a long shot, but any chance yarnball works with stuff like phalanx II, gain-mnd, refresh II? Inb4 who cares, refresh II and I have the same duration.

Thanks for your continued work btw!

**SephYuyX** · 2010-10-10 22:18

Wut?

Also, i think Krellion's working on Yarnball to not use Resources.xml but the folder instead now.

**mallister** · 2010-10-10 23:57

i'm still getting the unknown spell/ja thing, tried twice following directions posted. am i reeeely stupit or just missing something obvious?

**Yekyaa** · 2010-10-11 00:38

Make sure you're using recast 1.73
1. unload spellcast
2. unload recast
3. delete resources.ver and resources.xml from the Windower plugins folder
4. Go back to the game
5. Type //updateresources into the chatbar and hit enter
6. download the new resources.xml from http://resources.windower.net/resources.xml (right-click, save-as, save it to the windower plugins folder)
7. load spellcast
8. load recast.
9. ???
10. PROFIT
tl;dr Yes, you're doing it wrong.
