Having a hard time telling if my precast is going off like it should, and then switching to my midcast gear like it should. The gear swaps are either happening too fast, or they arent happening at all, and i can't tell which. Can you guys check out my xml and tell me what ya think?

Then it's a private pastebin and I can't access it.

Yep, sorry bout that. Fixed.
Your config is messed up.
Change this:
It's not really intuitive but... Config is like that.
Also you can turn showgearswaps to true to test it.
Change this:
Code
<config>
Debug="false"
ShowGearSwaps="false"

Made that change. So when i start a spell I should see 3 "Equipment changed"? 1 precast, 1 midcast, and then a 3rd aftercast right?
Ok, so I see what it did. But my macro is written like such:
/equip range "instrument"
/ma "Dragonfoe Mambo" <t>
/wait 1
/ma "Sheepfoe Mambo" <t>
Is that going to throw it off, its trying to equip pre/mid 2x for each macro I hit. Do I need to change my macros, or is spellcast fast enough to deal with this?

Is this so you can use only one macro for 2 different spells?
Cause you could make a rule that decides which one to cast based on if you already have a mambo up already. Though I prefer individual macros.

I dont use spellcast on bard, it have many issues not changing to midcast gear and more if there is some kind of lag like Neo Salvage areas.. old macro windowers ftw...
You just need a better xml ^^
Here is one I threw together couple days ago copying and pasting from others. Take particular note to the rules for buff song during Nightingale/Troubadour

If you're using "Silence", you're unlikely to see 3 lines in short succession, ever.
When I played, I used Spellcast for most jobs and Silence loaded always. I would only ever see two "Equipment Changed" lines per spell - Precast and Aftercast, and that's assuming I was casting a lengthy spell. Things like Flash/Holy, I'd get 1 line only. I get the feeling there's a short cooldown (2-3 seconds) so you can avoid any minor chatlog spam (which is the entire point of Silence :D).

My understanding of spell cast and XML is limited to what you see in my XML. Any tips? Ways to make it better?

Hey I took a look at your BRD XML as I am always looking for new rules, ideas I have never though of.
Code xml
<if advanced='"%Equipmain"=="Twashtar"'>
<action type="disable" slot="main|sub"/>
</if> Code xml
<var name="Equipmain">Twashtar</var>
If I’m wrong someone say and ill shut up now lol. ***Edit2*** im wrong :(
***EDIT*** If you can refer to equipment slots in that manner without having a variable then that’s something new I have learned with spellcast.
%EquipMain is a Spellcast variable opposed to a user defined variable. User defined variables start with $ signs. Spellcast determined ones (such as SpellElement), start with a %.
Ahh i see so %EquipSub would check what was in your sub slot at that time?
Yep. I believe you can also use them outside advanced statements, like you would with other attributes, but I could be wrong.
<if EquipMain=""> <blah blah> </if>
<if EquipMain=""> <blah blah> </if>

While that comment was mostly aimed at Aikchan about not using an xml for brd at all, if you need some ideas, you can look at mine:
http://pastebin.com/6LpzhP43
I've tried to make it as user friendly as possible and explain things but if you have any questions, let me know.

I'm at work, but I will take a look at it over the weekend.

Sekundes,
the <songta> variable that you have, when i have piannismo up, im not sure if the gear swaps are happening, but gear wont change during <st> confirmations, yes?

Correct, even if SC tries to put gear on, it can't cause gear is locked when you have an ST target confirmation up.
Gear should change after you select the target. With my xml, SC tries to put on my idle gear when I first hit the ST macro, but even if I take all my gear off and try to do it, it won't let it anyway.
I would like to figure out how to remove ST's from activating spellcast at all or just at least let it ignore it entirely but it doesn't interfere with the spell anyhow.

I was not getting "equipment changed" after I confirmed my <st> so I am currently not using <$songta>. The rest of it, I think, is working nicely. I edited the fear I have/don't have. The only part I can't figure out, I used the spell warp earlier and it gear swapped pre/after. Now, most of the time when it does this windowed crashes for me (past experiences). Is there a way to disable whatever rule you have set for that, for spells that cause me to change zones?
You won't crash, I don't. This rule prevents it:
It puts on fastcast gear, but then uses a fire spirit which cancels the aftercast of the old one.
Code
<if Spell="Teleport*"><!-- Teleports --> <action type="equip" when="Precast" set="FastCast" /> <MidCastDelay Delay="1"/> <cmd When="Midcast">Fire Spirit</cmd> <action type="return" /> </if>
It puts on fastcast gear, but then uses a fire spirit which cancels the aftercast of the old one.
I'll take your word for it, but I hear changed just prior to zone change.
