Random Question Thread (FFXI Related)

The rule checks your status, and if your status is engaged, it will fail, if you're swords are put away, and you aren't resting or dead, then it should work.

Yeah that fixed it! :D I just find it kind of odd that proth didn't already have it set up that way xD

Ok, now to figure out the groups thing

Do I basically have to have a whole new XML just with eva as the default combat set?

I worded that wrong, I mean when I make the group EVA and I slap an eva set in the "TP" spot, do I have to put aaaallll the other gearsets in there too?

No, you only have to put sets that change between the two groups. So if you have some other sets you want different when you're in your Eva group, you can put those too but because the group inherits the other group, if it can't find a set in the eva group, it will look in the inherited group for the set.

You may want to put an idle set in there if you want to idle in eva gear as well when not engaged.

Also, it needs to retain the "TP" name or it won't work with your XML the way it is. So you'll put your Eva gear, in a set called TP in your eva group ^^; kinda weird.

is wildfire damage effected by true shot?

Thanks Sekundes this has all been very helpful ^^ I'm now a spellcast user and loving it so far :D

I'm still having trouble getting the eva group to work, whenever I add it to the xml, it wont read my xml in game

Are you using notepad+ ? It will tell you what parts of the spell cast are broken.

is there any command that allows blinkmenot to do just 1 blink? tired of looking like i'm fighting in my idle gear xD

Most likely, the placement caused an issue or there is a tag missing. What error does it give you when you try to load it?

As Nemesio recommended, get Notepad++, it's amazing for finding issues since all syntax is highlighted. This makes it far easier to spot typos and missing end tags. Firefox can also be used for troubleshooting, if you open the xml file in firefox, it will give you an error message if something isn't formatted properly. Note that it won't find logic errors, just mismatched tags or other coding errors.

If you post what you have, I'll point out any errors.

I don't know that there's a direct command but when I need to force blink, I have a macro that sets blinkmenot to off for certain situations. Alternatively, you can put on the gear you want to look like you are in and then lock blinkmenot down so you never blink, and will stay in that gear.

no, it is not affected

thought so, since its magical dmg but just wanted wanted to confirm since I know it affects other ws. thanks.

on a somewhat related note, what should my tp/barrage set look like using armageddon on rng? will be mostly vw use til I have annihilator

how do you access advanced mode for the starlight celebration mini games so you can get orchestrion? cant figure it out...it doesnt say in the guide

What is the easiest place to farm kindred seals while doing other things (minimal likelihood of dying)?

Thanks sek, I actually got it all working fine now though. As far as blinkmenot, I tried switching into the gear i wanted to wear, but it still blinks when I'm not in combat, so puts me back in idle.

I used to get quite a bit from the 3 beastman strongholds farming other shizzah

Thanks. I found a thread that talked about 1: 5 min/party.

So I've noticed in Draylo and other people's videos, they have a different cursor and menu style in their windower. How do I get those?

where can i find an altana viewer that has the most current .dats in it?

This is the latest one I have.

If you want to turn it on all the time then you'll need to set it in the settings. If you just want to do it in-game do this:

//bmn always self on

In the settings xml do this:

<alwaysself>True</alwaysself>

Is anyone else experiencing absurd crit hit surges in Abyssea?

I've been in [A] La Theine farming helms on war and thf. I hit 3 different SA's for 3~4k dmg (no set bonus, only wearing TH feet)
Atmas RR GH Apoc

Also I've hit a few huge crits on war with regular attacks
a few 6~7k
Atmas RR GH VV

Any UI fix since the update? Or do I just need to replace the dats again? Goobbue Kart dat stil working fine, but ugly default font is still there D:

For the full completion Meeble Burrows reward category, must you have all expeditions finished to goal 3 on the same book or does it keep track globally?

Globally.

thanks!

Just need to replace the dats, they all actually still work for once!

Feet give partial set bonus, low proc rate, but still possibility.
As for the war idk, set bonus i guess with ODD procing?

I never got an answer on windower cursor. Anyone?

so what do I do with the items I get from the holiday minigames? the recipe mentioned in the version update doesn't use any of them.
