The people getting banned are using speedhacks, position hacks, or afk bots. You don't have to worry about the legitimate plugins, and gearswap is much better.
You can program GearSwap to differentiate between differently augmented verisons of the same item.

For what it's worth, you can do this with vanilla as well. Place the items in different inventories and use the corresponding inventory ID.

Whats kept me away is my lack of understanding the writing of scripts.
Beyond that, just ask questions and feel free to experiment. Coding is both art and science; there's an optimal path for specific things, but each person has their own needs and priorities. We approach a common problem from very different angles. Motenten for example created a simple but powerful structure that translated well between different jobs. Each of my xmls shared many concepts in design, but that backbone was modified as needed to maximize flexibility and power for each of my jobs. Redshift's WAR xml was another beast entirely, etc.

Feary PUP.lua
Oops, found a nice one here: Kinematic's PUP.Lua
Also started reading this:
Gearswap for Dummies!
So what I gather from gearswap is that it functions in the way that spellcast did that when you use abilities or engage a mob/WS the addon automatically picks this up and swaps gear as needed? I saw a line in the .lua that mentions using commands when it says my puppet is using his Weaponskill, can I actually add a precast WS set for my pet and have it go off when the log says hes preparing it?
Would you know if there's any lua's for BLM's and SMN's?
So I'm just coming back, and much to my dismay SpellCast doesn't seem to be a thing anymore, unfortunate, because I knew that very well.
My question is, I used to have something that would check buffs and change spells so I could buff with one macro basically, something like...
I was wondering if there was a way to set this up with gearswap? I really liked that set up for BLU.

FFXI's native macro system won't let you do anything less than a wait 1, you can try using no wait command and just putting it right after, I've heard mixed results on that working however it seems to work sometimes and not on others.
Gearswap will work consistently on anything that is instant cast however. I'm unsure if gearswap lets you check if your pet is doing a WS but there is an entire pet object in gearswap letting you know a lot about it so I'd be surprised if that isn't in there. SMN does it via bloodpact command not checking the pet's action though and I'm pretty sure BST does it via a ready command.
Equipsets are usable to do most things but in reality it's a stripped down version of gearswap with more limitation, though it is easier to do Augmented gear with equipsets gearswap does let you do augmented gearswaps of the same name. Instant precast though is something I've heard doesn't work too well with equipsets so you might have to ask around some more to be sure. Doing
/equipset 1
/my ability
/equipset 2
works for some, even if you just do <wait> or /wait it defaults to 1 second and you can't do a wait less than 1 sec.

Iirc, we can write a /wait to be less than 1. Something like
Code
/wait 0.5
Code
/ja "Some ability" <t> <wait 0.5>
It has been a little while since I've played so I may be misremembering. The other alternative is to write an "/echo" between lines for a small pause.

In looking you're right, but this has been discussed 3x before here and the official forums that I have seen and everyone was wrong lol. So thanks for bringing that up. But ya it appears anything .5 works. Interestingly if you are over 60, it counts it as 0. So you might try
/wait .5
/wait 0.5
The talk page on ffxiclopedia says 2.5 works, and anything in .5 increments works, but you can't do .1, .2 etc.
/wait .5
/wait 0.5

So, addressing the idea that FFXI's native macro/wait system accepts decimal waits in increments of 0.5.
Test methods differ somewhat from last time. I will be using lua via gearswap and the os.clock() function to check the time. This is very precise compared to my prior timestamp based test.
The involved code:
Test 1. Measure the base delay of going from one macro line to the next.
Macro structure.
Results copied from logger logs.So, a 2 line macro generally incurs a delay of 0.032~.
Test 2. Does a <wait x> work when placed after /console in a FFXI macro? If it doesn't, additional macro lines will be needed, and the extra delay will need to be accounted for.
Macro.
Results.So yes, a <wait x> will work after a /console. Which... honestly, is really weird. It's also interesting that the extra delay was 0.06 on a 2 line macro rather than 0.03. Maybe using a <wait> incurs an extra line worth of delay? But that's an issue for another time.
So, onto the main thing.
Test 3. Try using a 0.5 wait.
Macro.
Results.This is no different than the original control. The 0.5 wait is being floored to 0.
Test 4. use a wait of the same duration(0.5) but a differnt format. That being .5(leaving the 0 off)
Macro.
ResultsInterestingly, a .5 wait(rather than 0.5) is rounded up to a 1 second wait. I guess when you use a 0 at the start, it just stops reading the number after that. I'm not going to list the data for it, but I tried a .3 as well, and it still changed to a 1 sec delay. So it's not as if it's actually rounding based on the value.
Conclusion. Decimal waits, including increments of 0.5, do NOT work in FFXI's wait/macro system.
If you need a decimal delay, you need to use scripts, or gearswap, etc. Cause FFXI itself won't have it.

Since Martel already showed it... One would think that it need not be reiterated by one such as me.
But I also know people go full on derp when they see "math" like Martel's post.
"Wait 0" is a thing.
So the game does NOT round up to 1.
<wait> or as Martel showed <wait 0.X> or <wait 0> all give wait delays of "0". (Most likely all values of X will result in a wait 0, since FFXI generally prefers truncating or flooring numbers instead of rounding them... But someone would have to test 0.8 or such to verify.)
<wait> is especially good for SMN since they changed it.
All <wait> does is basically tell the game to finish the previous action before doing the next.
Hence why it's good for BPs.

My original test, linked a few posted up, used a 0.9 wait to test. And it still resulted in a 0 sec wait. So that's already verified. All this test really did is show that 0.5 waits weren't some kind of exception. Well, and measured things far more precisely.
