Hi, I tried to make this plug-in work yesterday for a rng friend.
I just wanted to know if it's currently broken or if I should try harder
I tried to pair it with spellcast, sent //ara start after engaging a mob, tried CTRL+D as stated in the read-me file, yet no cookie.
Is there anything I should do to make it work ?
AutoRA Broken?

I haven't been able to get this to work since i came back like a year ago. I don't think it is supported anymore.
You can write a spellcast script to offer a similar functionality that will try to shoot every few seconds, but I don't quite know the details.

It currently does not work, and as Ninjaface said, it hasn't worked for a while. Sadly, the user who created that has probably moved on from FFXI, doubt it will function anymore.
There is already a lua addon which works for this

Thanks everyone for the clarification.
I used it yesterday, it worked fine for me.
I used it on RNG, using spellcast
edit: I think I used it yesterday. I am 100% sure I used it on Wednesday if not.

Hmm, i just fired it up right now as i read his post and tried it, i got nothing. Do you have something special in your spellcast for this ?
Also, are you positive you don't just have spellcast autoshooting for you? you can do it with like aftercast I think.
If autoRA works, it doesn't work as the readme says it does, or some option with windower needs to be enabled that I don't have enabled.

Checked the spellcast I have with me atm, nothing there, will check on the PC I used in a while but if there is then it was on accident. The toggle from the lua was working for me too, control D start alt D stop, so I believe it was that which was doing it.
honestly, that's pretty exciting news. I haven't heard anyone claim that it works since i got back into the game. I'll definitely be messing with it when I get home.
I wasn't able to get it to work Tuesday when I was trying to get skilled up. It's possible that I did something wrong but it's not all that complicated.
for skilling up a simple SC script is sufficient. something that tries to shoot every couple seconds works pretty well for me.
Checked SC, there are no actions in my aftercast rules other than equip. Loaded autoRA and it's working for me right now. The start and stop buttons are also working.
buttons?
what buttons? there are no buttons.

Sure there are, just gotta know where to find em and how to push em ;)
There is a minor error in the autora file.
Run Notepad++ as administrator.
Open autora.lua
Change lines 58 and 62 from windower.send_command('/shoot <t>') to windower.send_command('input /shoot <t>')
Change line 103 to windower.send_command('@wait 1;input /shoot <t>')
Save the file.
Reload autora.

Mine doesn't have those changes and works
If you have spellcast loaded, you don't need to make those changes (you probably still should).

Ah, that may explain my issue. I had sc unloaded because it conflicts with GS.
Mine works great. I don't even get charged arrows while it is auto attacking for some reason.

Ah I see, thank you Vow

Edited the Lua file as Vow suggested and it is working again for me, however, i'm frequently getting the in-game error "You must wait longer to perform that action". The autoshots then cease firing.
I'm going to guess it happens whenever rapid shot and/or snapshot procs kick in but can't say for sure.
Is there anyway around this?

The shots stop because it only responds to the action of a successful ranged attack. If a ranged attack is canceled because not enough time had passed since the last shot it won't try to start again. I'm not sure why that would happen, but you can increase the delay in the send_command line. I picked one second because it seemed to work for the two minutes that I let the addon run for after downloading it for the first time. I never used it again.
You can also try this different addon which I have also never used.

You can add a timer to register when you deal damage to the target (Based on how SB works) to allow you to auto RA as soon as possible rather than waiting for a set time for more overall DPS if you're super lazy.
hmmm the "set timer" is coz you need to wait for the animation to finish before you /ra again... if rapid shot proc, it will shot right away
I'm still having trouble getting autoRA to work properly. I haven't made any adjustments to the script other than those suggested by Vow an am getting the error message: "autora: lua error (runtime)... lua95: attempt to index field 'status' (a number value)
Aparently AutoRa is working again.
Thanks to whoever fixed it.
Now to cap archery.
