AutoExec/Spellcast

I'm a returning player from 2012 and I can't seem to remember how I had my previous setup. I have a secondary account I use for WHM and I use to be able to type in what I wanted it to do, which made dual boxing a lot easier.

For example, I'd send a /t "HasteMe" and it would trigger it to cast haste on me.. does anyone recall how to set that up again?

Any information would be great!

I know there's trusts and whatnot now but I'd rather use my own characters. :)

It's now possible to send the commands directly to the mule via a windower addon called Send, rather than sending commands via FFXI chat. Provided both accounts are logged in on the same PC. You might look into that rather than messing around with autoexec.

Also the successor to Spellcast is the addon Gearswap. Although some of Spellcast's functionality was split off into two other addons, Shortcuts and I think the last one was Inforeplacer.

Gearswap, naturally, handles the equipping of gear for various actions.
Shortcuts lets you use simplified commands and has intelligent targeting.
And inforeplacer lets you do that thing were you put a variable like %hpp and it would output the value for that in chat

Yeah, I'm not too familiar with the "SEND" feature. I just wish I saved my old files. I just can't remember how I typed it out in a notepad to recognize an incoming /tell as a command to trigger a spell... it's driving me crazy.

You can send tells, but certainly don't need to send tells for alts to perform an action/cast a spell etc. The send addon let's you send a command to character that is running on same PC.

It was something like this.. but I can't get this to work.. maybe I'm doing it wrong?

<register silent="true" event="chat_tell_Daedroth_Haste">input /ma "Haste" Daedroth</register>

and to load AutoExec it's

//load AutoExec "ScriptName" Correct?

For SEND, is it as simple as sending just the word Haste and it casting haste on me or would I have to type out that who thing..

//send mule /ma "Haste" main


I'd rather just solve my autoexec issue and type up one word triggers for an action to occur.

You can make simple alias in your init.txt or any script for that matter.

alias s1 send @others /ma "Stone" <bt>
alias s2 send @others /ma "Stone II" <bt>
alias s3 send @others /ma "Stone III" <bt>
alias s4 send @others /ma "Stone IV" <bt>
alias s5 send @others /ma "Stone V" <bt>
alias s6 send @others /ma "Stone VI" <bt>

if you do //s5 all other instances will do a stone 5 on the battletarget
or

alias hm send mulename /ma "haste" Daedroth

if you do //hm the mule will haste Daedroth

all this works with the use of the SEND addon

So, basically no one knows the answer to my question on how to setup AutoExec to function like I want it to.. I'll have to try and find more information.

The tool(s) you seem to be determined to use are considered old hat. You have a choice of where to invest your time:

1. Rediscover how to implement Autoexec in the way you want, but forever be frustrated by the lack of support the community can offer.

2. Learn how send works, get better support from said community and get a better tool at the end of it.

I know what I'd do.

ive had issues using the send command to cast spells that use "II or III" possibly Iv or V too


seems to be the II messes up the quotes or something as though it was written in a lua script and had a apostrophe or soemthing


so

//send name /ma "dia II" <bt> will not work, however

//send name /ma 'dia II' <bt> might work, however gearswap will not swap gear if you type it this way


theres a few spells that are wonky like that with send to the point where i just made an actual gearswap command to make it work like //send name //gs c Command

with a script in the individual lua.

either way instead of <bt> you may want to use

You can replace the <r> for your name, but this makes it haste the last person to send a tell.
