Gearswap Support Thread

Okay, so I got the whm lua to have no errors in it, and I even ran the Refresh.lua file that comes in the gearswap folder through and neither of them have any errors in them, but I'm still getting the same error message as stated in the first post.

Can anyone help me with getting a Capacity Mantle lock? Zigbar's PLD.lua has a cool toggle for it, but i cant seem to reproduce it on other jobs. Tried copying over some lines onto other luas but having no luck

By chance, did you just remove the line "include('Obi_Check')" from your lua? If so, that explains your problem. No doubt there's code inside your WHM.lua that relies on this file to function.

Your only option is to find that file, or use a different WHM.lua from somewhere else.

Fixed my own problem..

I have the obi_check file now in that same data folder as the whm Lua, Idk if it goes there or just under the gearswap folder. But either way it still gives me the same Refresh.lua error as original post.

Ah, oh well. Can you pastebin your WHM.lua?

There's too much I don't know about what you're doing to be honest. I tried Grouf's WHM.lua and it works fine. You could have changed something that's causing the error though, so I don't know without seeing the file you're using.

Did you rename Grouf_WHM.lua to either WHM.lua or Ratchety_WHM.lua? (assuming that is your char's name) Also be careful to name the Obi_Check.lua file exactly as he has it. Capitalization is important.

I literally copy/pasted the lua and saved it as Whm.lua, I also have the Obi_Check.lua saved exactly as it's named. I do not believe the refresh error has anything to do with the lua used because it's been there for 3 different lua's.

local gearswap_appdata = os.getenv('APPDATA') .. '/Windower/GearSwap/'

That is the line that I am getting an error on based on what it's telling me

Joined this discussion late, but...

To Ratchety, you should have a folder inside /Windower4/addons/GearSwap named 'data', that is where you should be saving your job files, aka WHM.lua

Next, you should be saving any file being "included" in the /Windower4/addons/GearSwap/libs folder. (There will be a lot of Mote- luas in there.)

To summarize:

/Windower4/addons/GearSwap/data/WHM.lua
/Windower4/addons/GearSwap/libs/Obi_Check.lua

The only way you should get that error is if all the priors search checks are failing. Basically, it's saying that you're missing these folders:

/Windower4/addons/GearSwap/libs-dev/
/Windower4/addons/GearSwap/libs/
/Windower4/addons/GearSwap/data/Ratchie
/Windower4/addons/GearSwap/data/common
/Windower4/addons/GearSwap/data/

It's then trying to search your AppData folder in your Windows file and it's not finding the folders there either. I would guess you probably deleted these folders since they didn't appear to matter to you, but they are needed.


For the record, I *never* suggest copy/paste when using someone's file from GitHub. This site has a RAW button with which you can right-click and Save Link As... or Save Target As... or w/e your browser says to save the lua directly. Same idea for Pastebin, but you can just click the Download link there and the same thing happens.

Of the folders you listed:

/Windower4/addons/GearSwap/libs-dev/
/Windower4/addons/GearSwap/libs/
/Windower4/addons/GearSwap/data/Ratchie
/Windower4/addons/GearSwap/data/common
/Windower4/addons/GearSwap/data/

I am missing :
/Windower4/addons/GearSwap/libs-dev/
/Windower4/addons/GearSwap/data/Ratchie
/Windower4/addons/GearSwap/data/common

But I have literally just redownloaded Gearswap, so where could these files have gone/what do I need to do to get them back?
My current file shows
/Windower4/addons/Gearswap/data
/Windower4/addons/Gearswap/libs
and those are the only two subfolders found under Gearswap atm.

That's fine, you should only need those two. Now, just make sure the files are where they need to be.

Both are in the correct spots, Data> WHM.lua, Libs> Obi_Check.lua

The only thing I can suggest at this point then is to try redownloading the WHM file by right-clicking the Raw button and downloading it from there into your data folder. Much like Orestes, I was able to load the file just fine, no errors whatsoever.

I can try it again, but I honestly don't think it's my WHM lua that's causing the problem... as I get this same error message if I login without a lua in the data folder.

That tells me that you have another lua being loaded, somehow, somewhere, because without a file in the data folder, GearSwap shouldn't even be loading, much less throwing errors.

What files are inside your /data/ folder?

Instructions text file and whm.lua
under the base /Gearswap folder there is a bunch of .lua's tho..

The base folder should have:

equip_processing.lua
export.lua
flow.lua
gearswap.lua
helper_functions.lua
parse_augments.lua
refresh.lua
statics.lua
targets.lua
triggers.lua
user_functions.lua
validate.lua
version_history.txt

Mine does not include:
parse_augments.lua
Wonder why that is? Maybe this could be causing a problem? I'm not sure. It's telling me my problem is in the Refresh.lua but it runs clean through the site saying no problems detected..

To be honest, I don't know if parse_augments is used anymore, as the file hasn't been updated in almost a year and a half.

When you've been making changes to files and such, have you been logged into the game while making the changes?

I restart windower each time I make a new change

What version of Windows are you using? Your orignal error suggests you don't have APPDATA defined on your system.

You should be able to open a command prompt, and run the following.
Alternatively, you can simply type "set" and it should list APPDATA, among many other environment variables.

If that doesn't return a path, I would bring this up to a windower developer.

edit:
Here is another post with the same issue. It doesn't appear that Conagh was ever answered.

This is really dirty, but if you can't get a dev response try manually setting the value on line 675 of refresh.lua temporarily. (change YourName to the real folder name)

I run windows 7, and thanks I'll try to get a hold of a dev, until then I'll try your technique.

Hey,

I'm having a problem but not sure if it comes from my Macro or Gearswap though but I would like to know if anyone already had that kind of problem before.

For example if I'm using a simple macro like this:
/ja Ebullience <me>
/wait 1
/ma "Thunder V" <t>

Sometimes my Set won't change and just stay in Idle Set, this does not happen only with Ebullience but also with Enlightenment it happens pretty much often (not all the time though) when I use that kind of macro and sometimes I might have seen that the set is returning back to idle set a bit faster than usual before my spell cast is done.

I really don't know why would this happen because when I simply cast any spell I never have that problem, only when I'm using this kind of macro.

Returning player learning how to Code For GS, been reading though all the different guides and stuff like that. I haven't read anything on this but is there a way to have gearsets for specific zones? like say if im in sandy have my Idle set w/ Aketon equiped but anywhere else would be regen/refresh/-dt gear, or be able to set specific TP sets for zones Like if I'm doing Dynamis/Salvage where I want to Fulltime TH or If I'm in a CP party like in Moh Gates to lock my backpeice? if anyone knows if you can do this at all would be awesome if you could explain or link me in the right direction ty

There's a number of ways to handle what you're looking for. There is world.zone and world.area, both of which are the string names of the zone you are in.

Handling idle set would be something as simple as :

Fulltiming within certain zones is a little different. You could bind to event on zone change, though there's probably some failure rate in it actually firing :
The above example contains IDs for Dynamis Zones. Salvage would be a little trickier due to encumbrance, though the same rule could be applied for capacity points mantle, replacing the S{} table with IDs for capacity zones you want to consider and using disable('back'). IDs can be found in /res/zones.lua

I'm having trouble setting up a Capacity mode for my MNK Lua. I use Motes Mnk lua. I'm not sure what i need to do. I have limited knowledge of gearswap. If someone could show me or direct me to where i can find the solution would be a great help.

Im running into a problem on BLU with the new dual elemental spells with the longer cast times, it switches back to my idle set before the spell finishes casting. I had been using this lua with no problem before these spells came out, so maybe I need to somehow add them into the rules?

Dont know if people use pastebin anymore, but I couldnt figure out how to work github...

With Mote's you can do the following.

place this in job_setup()
create a hotkey in user_setup()
make a set in init_gear_sets()
The following makes sure the mantle is equipped, should you kill a mob with WS.

Add or integrate this to job_post_precast()
finally, add this to customize_melee_set()

Pretty much all my luas have this, so you can use them for reference if you get lost. If you're missing any of those functions, create them.
