January 2022 Version Update

Yes, exactly. When you include the staff merits, it puts you up to just enough to shell crusher. I've already confirmed this on DNC which has no native staff skill.

0x15(nor anything you inject with windower libs) arent packets, they are single instructions, it doesnt matter when you call inject windower and ashita will always add the injected instructions to an existing udp packet

so no, despite the common mislabeling of instructions as packets, it doesnt matter what isp or when you inject them. if you dont inject more than windower or ashita will fit into one udp packet they cannot be split or reordered

I've seen up to 20ms delays between when the action and midcast equipset is injected. I was only looking at the 0x15's timing and sequence numbers, and not injecting anything. I made an assumption that if the interval between injections is too long it will eventually build a complete packet and the precast/action/midcast could theoretically get split up.

I forgot about merits :) Nice, but unfortunately it's not a massive change since the only thing I was using for shell crusher from /war before was only torque and its still useful for other things, so no inventory +1 sadly.

I can't 100% verify this without access to windower's code, but if gearswap's model were used in ashita all of the processing would happen during a hook to the game thread's command handler. This means that during that 20ms, the game client isn't able to start a udp packet(as it occurs on the same thread), and you still have a guarantee that your packets are arriving in one piece. 20ms of calculation time seems extremely questionable for what gearswap is doing though, which leads me to wonder why nobody is observing framerate drops when they perform an action. It would be nice if a windower dev could clarify some of this with certainty.

Using Ashita with Ashitacast or Luashitacast, I can 100% verify this is the case, as their model modifies packets during a hook prior to outgoing packet encryption. So, all processing will occur while a packet is pending and the only way they can be split across multiple udp packets is if an insane amount of things are injected, far in excess of multiple actions.

I have only observed such large delays when the framerate is low due to high graphics load. Now that I think about it, the delays probably correspond to the longer packet intervals I recorded. It makes sense if there is only one thread for the lua interpreter, graphics and outgoing packet processing. In that case it would be impossible for the actions to be split across multiple outgoing packets. Thanks for the reply.

I can confirm that graphics, outgoing packet processing, and command handling are performed *by the game client* on the same thread. Without windower's source I can't verify 100% that their lua interpreter does not leave the thread, but I am inclined to believe that they would have set it up similarly to how Ashita does, so it seems likely to me.

And they broke the new club in the process.

Went in after this patch to continue farming Apademak Horns and the Conflux Surveyor (Uleguerand) at least offers to take in 3 stones for a 180 mins of time.

However, if you select 3 stones it takes all 3 but only gives you 120 min of time.

That's working as intended, not supposed to be able to go above 120 minutes from the NPC. The only method for going above 120 minutes is supposed to be from chests.

I wasn't playing when the new paddle was added, but does that mean everyone else sees it like I do?

I'm looking for a fix, but I don't see anyone mentioning it. Is it a "wait until February update" kind of thing? Repairer Moogle doesn't do anything with it when I trade it to him.

Sorry if this was answered. I only skimmed each page and the official version update page didn't mention it as a known issue that I saw. Thanks.

Yes. They just accidentally removed the English descriptions from the .dat in a patch. You won't need to trade it to a repairer Moogle to fix it. SE just needs to release a patch/update.
