The update with the wardrobe patch broke some things related to resources that generated that error. I assume you've run the launcher since then to update all the Windower stuff? You shouldn't be getting that error anymore. If you are then it may be simpler to reinstall Windower just to make sure it has all the proper bits in place.

Regarding the test, I'd rewritten the bullet-checking code in the Cor files. Have you updated and checked that version? Also make sure you have all the latest Mote-* files, as I've pushed changes for them over the last few days.

Yes. I've tested it, and it all seems to behave as I would expect it to.

refresh.lua is a GearSwap file, not one of mine. You need to report the problem to Byrth's or Windower's bug trackers.

Here is and excerpt from my Lua

My quick guess would be use ['Iclamar +2'] anywhere you put Iclamar +2, anytime you're trying to name a set with spaces or other special characters, you will have to name it in this way.(Note, when naming a set like this you do not use a period inbetween. So for instance instead of sets.precast.Something.Low it would be sets.precast['Something'].Low (no period between precast and something, but there is still one between something and low)

Also for future debugging :

1)Please use code tags to make reading easier.
2)When you receive an error, your console should spit out a message. Please let us know what it says. If it includes a specific line number, post the chunk of code around that line so we don't have an entire file to read through.

I have a question! I'm putting the K'ayres Ring in my engaged set but is this ring going to pose me some problems seeing as it has that apostrophe in it?

Nevermind, I need to write it like so apparently: K\'ayres Ring

Not even going to try and mess with motes Gearswap, too many factors to take into account with 5 includes >_>

Can you show us the snippet you changed to narrow the issue a little?

Every once in a while my THF GS derps after a stacked Mercy Stroke and I get stuck in some form of hybrid WS set with my flume belt equipped; it’s pretty strange and is generally unresponsive (meaning I can run around in idle and switch to PDT, etc., but it will continue to revert back to that WS/flume set when “engaged”) unless I reload the add-on.

My knowledge is fairly limited on the subject, but I’m assuming I’m running into problems in the player status section; I’m guessing the Sneak Attack triggers and gets used so quickly that the GS doesn’t recognize that it’s gone… although I could be way off, so I'm attaching the bulk of my rules subsection.

Does anything in here look problematic? This seems to happen like once every 5-6 stacked Mercies, but I don't think it was happening before I made a rule change to keep augmented relic pants on until the feint blow landed... I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it, because if it was happening before that rule change I didn't notice it.

Code
function pretarget(spell,action)
	if (spell.type:endswith('Magic') or spell.type == "Ninjutsu") and buffactive.silence then -- Auto Use Echo Drops If You Are Silenced --
		cancel_spell()
		send_command('input /item "Echo Drops" <me>')
	elseif spell.english == "Berserk" and buffactive.Berserk then -- Change Berserk To Aggressor If Berserk Is On --
		cancel_spell()
		send_command('Aggressor')
	elseif spell.type == "WeaponSkill" and spell.target.distance > target_distance and player.status == 'Engaged' then -- Cancel WS If You Are Out Of Range --
		cancel_spell()
		add_to_chat(123, spell.name..' Canceled: [Out of Range]')
		return
	end
end

function precast(spell,action)
	if spell.type == "WeaponSkill" then
		if player.status ~= 'Engaged' then -- Cancel WS If You Are Not Engaged. Can Delete It If You Don't Need It --
			cancel_spell()
			add_to_chat(123,'Unable To Use WeaponSkill: [Disengaged]')

Ok, I am brand new to Gearswap. I have been working to understand Spellcast over the past few weeks only to yesterday realize why I couldn't work and that's because it's not used anymore/not updated. So I am reading this thread and what everyone has to say. However I am confused. How do I get my gearswap to recognize which file to use when I'm on a job. How do I load gearswap, it states in the first post to just run FFXI like you normally would but nothing has changed. This is currently how my, << Program Files (x86)> Windower4 > addons > GearSwap > data, looks.

Bard.lua
Blackmage.lua
Instructions
Mote-Globals.lua
Mote-Include.lua
Mote-Mappings.lua
Mote-SelfCommands.lua
Mote-Utility.lua
Ranger.lua
Redmage.lua
Summoner.lua
Thief.lua
Whitemage.lua

Is this done correctly? Sorry if this is hard to read.

Thank you for any help, it is really greatly appreciated!

Are you able to macro commands in similar to the "poison V" of old in order to switch between gear sets?

If not maybe I may have missed it in the break down but how do you switch between your set w/o having to key bind if any?

The current OP is out of date in a few ways. For the above, you don't need any of the Mote-* files; they're all already included with Windower, and are in the addons/GearSwap/libs folder.

For files names, you use the job's short name. So Brd, not Bard, Blm, not Blackmage, etc.

Technically doable, but not a good way of going about things in GearSwap. It was a hack in the Spellcast days that's completely unnecessary now.

Leviathan.Syagin said: »

Use self-commands now. EG: //gs c tp acc

//gs (if using from the command line; "/console gs" if you put it in a game macro, and just "gs" if you put it on a keybind) sends the remainder of the line to GearSwap directly. "c" tells it that you're sending a self-command, and everything after that is sent as a parameter to your function for handling. EG:
Code
function self_command(command)
    if command == "tp acc" then
        -- do whatever
    end
end

Appreciate that good sir. Had no clue that was a hack that's interesting...
