Hello,

Im not the ost experienced of players and although I do use SpellCast I only got as far as using </set> and </head etc . etc . > macros.

I have brought about a decent Fastcast/Healing Casting time set now for WHM but I have problems using the following macro:

/sc set WHMfastcast
/ma "Cure V" <stal> <wait .5>
/sc set WHMcureV <wait .5>
/equip Sub "Curatio Grip" <wait 5>
/sc set WHMidle

. . my problem is that <wait .5> seems to be the lowest ffxi can wait and it isnt enough to catch my WHMcureV set before spellcasting ends. This means I end up casting all my cures in a hybrid Cure/Fastcast/Healing Casting time set and its gimp :/.

I have tried to adulterate other people's XML's on this forum but i cannot seem to get things to work. I'm a complete layman noob when it comes to spellcast:/

I would very much appreciate if someone can guide me step by step to get <if> rules into my XML to do the following:

1.Get my Fastcast set into my cures and then switch to my Cure set before casting ends (I seem to feel people use a wait of .2 for this but i do not understand how to put this into XML and Macros).

2. Figure out a way that i don't have to have a line for Grips. I try using XML to </equip> sub weapons/grips/sheilds but always get "You need a 2-handed weapon to equip etc.. .etc" message in FFXI. Is there a way of doing this with SpellCast?

3. I would like to set up a Fastcast <if> rule to equip Fastcast set whenever I cast Protect and Shell and also a Fastcast set then Haste set to run when I cast Raises.

Thanks in advance for all your help :)

I thought the lowest wait time on macro's was 1 sec, you can go half secs? >.>?

Anyways you can set delays to the tenth in your spellcast xml, you should post it within code tags so we can help you out.

at least post your gear sets you want to use

You see i dont know what code tags are :/ Not everyone is au fait with XML. Sorry.

All my XML is atm is </set>s of equipment for large equipment swaps. No <if> rules or <ifelse> or <variable>.

Code xml
[code=xml][/code.] without the period


and that's fine, can help you make rules based on the gear sets you've made so far

Okay, sorry for the delay was still doing something on the game and trying to do this.

Now, your macro

Quote:
I have brought about a decent Fastcast/Healing Casting time set now for WHM but I have problems using the following macro:

/sc set WHMfastcast
/ma "Cure V" <stal> <wait .5>
/sc set WHMcureV <wait .5>
/equip Sub "Curatio Grip" <wait 5>
/sc set WHMidle

I really, really don't like this. Change it just to this:

/ma "Cure V" <stal> or <stpc>

for your XML I'm going to suggest this:
Code xml
		<if Spell="Cure*">
			<if Spell="Cure IV">
				<equip when="precast" set="CurePrecast" />
				<if advanced='"%DayElement"="Light" OR "%WeatherElement"="Light"'>
					<equip when="midcast" set="Cure4">
						<back>Twilight Cape</back>
						<waist>Korin Obi</waist>
					</equip>
				</if>
				<if advanced='"%DayElement"!="Light" AND "%WeatherElement"!="Light"'>
					<equip when="midcast" set="Cure" />
					</equip>
				</if>
				<equip when="aftercast" set="Idle" />
				</return />
			</if>
			<if NotSpell="Cure IV">
				<equip when="precast" set="CurePrecast" />
				<if advanced='"%DayElement"="Light" OR "%WeatherElement"="Light"'>
					<equip when="midcast" set="Cure">
						<back>Twilight Cape</back>
						<waist>Korin Obi</waist>
					</equip>
				</if>
				<if advanced='"%DayElement"!="Light" AND "%WeatherElement"!="Light"'>
					<equip when="midcast" set="Cure4" />
					</equip>
				</if>
				<equip when="aftercast" set="Idle" />
				</return />
			</if>
		</if>

The advanced rule is just checking to see if it's lightsday or light weather, I suggest you get a Korin Obi and a Twilight Cape, but for now I'm marking them as a note. Just remove the <!-- and --> parts when you get one of them.

At the moment there are no delays added to your precast or midcast, I would like for you to try those out and to see what needs to be done from there before adding on delays.

Here is the xml you need to copy over yours.

Save it, then reload it from your console to try out cures.

That's it for cures, I can help with other spells after you try that out.

Stripped down rules set for you (barely 100 lines of rules for the white magic section). Left in some hand-tweaked items for certain things (eg: Orison +2 head for -na spells, etc). Used only the gear sets you have listed. Need to add variables for the staves you have for enfeebling spells (eg: wind for silence, earth for slow, etc; I just listed a couple to show the format), though you didn't indicate whether those were actually used.

It makes no attempt to adjust cast timing. I've had no trouble in mine using the default values. Whatever problems you have in that regard are probably very much tied to your computer, so anything I put in would be mere guesswork.

Can't really help on the grip thing; it's a rare problem for me, but I know no one's really found a solution for the issue.

Code xml
    <variables>
        <var name="Staff-Fire">Vulcan's Staff</var>
        <var name="Staff-Wind">Auster's Staff</var>
        <!-- ... etc. -->
    </variables>

If you just move the sub line to the end of a set it fixes it normally.

Or just copy it 2-4 times for a set and it will get it equipped every time.

for example his cure set above:
Code xml
<set name="Cure">
	<main>Arka IV</main>
	<ammo>Mana Ampulla</ammo>
	<head>Orison Cap +2</head>
	<neck>Fylgja Torque</neck>
	<lear>Healing Earring</lear>
	<rear>Orison Earring</rear>
	<body>Orison Bliaud +2</body>
	<hands>Augur's Gloves</hands>
	<lring>Sirona's Ring</lring>
	<rring>Aquasoul ring</rring>
	<back>Tempered Cape</back>
	<waist>Cleric's belt</waist>
	<legs>Tatsumaki Sitagoromo</legs>
	<feet>Cleric's duckbills +2</feet>
	<sub>Curatio Grip</sub>
	<sub>Curatio Grip</sub>
	<sub>Curatio Grip</sub>
</set>

Not sure why that would work (and I've heard from others that it doesn't), since the equipment order in the xml has no relation to the order the equip commands are sent to the game. And if you have multiple entries for a slot, all but one of them get ignored (easy to have happen if you copy stuff between sets).

Might just be one of those 'magic' fixes that works for some.

lol It's just whm macros... why make something so simple into something complicated. Only thing you need in advanced macros is gear swaps. Can fit everything into 4 rows. (40 macros)


[Ctrl_10]Enhancements+Sch Sub JA
[Alt_10]Repose+Divine Magic+RR3, Raise3
[Ctrl_1]Cure Magic and Haste/Refresh/Auspice
[Alt_1]FirstMacro Idle/Refresh Gear set, Debuff Situation magic

Of course macro gear swaps into all spells accordingly.
/console exec WHM/Idle.txt
/console exec WHM/Cure.txt
ect ect

Just a suggestion though, most likely OBJECTION!! Just don't see reason to make xml macros when there is much less complicated way to do them.

All I know is it works for me when I want to switch from club/shield to staff/grip or use two rings that are the same (double dark rings).

Before I tried doing that it didn't work at all, after I did I never had an issue again.

At the moment there are no delays added to your precast or midcast, I would like for you to try those out and to see what needs to be done from there before adding on delays.

I dont understand how I can try those out if there is no delays in my precast or midcast. Surely if there are no delays they wont work?

There are default delays already in place in Spellcast. If you set delays manually, you're changing the defaults, not creating entirely new delays. Kalilla wants to know how it behaves at the default level before suggesting any tweaks.

Just for the hell of it, I did exactly that less than one minute ago and had no problems whatsoever. No idea how you manage to make that not work tbh.

Even if you copied the wrong area (like including the "code" tag and copying the line numbers) it should still work.

Perhaps there's some sort of conversion for the carriage return/line feed characters (/r/n) that Notepad++ isn't handling properly. Since I don't use Notepad++ (I use UltraEdit instead), I have no idea what configuration options there may be in that regard.

Possibly you're working in a system other than Windows? Or Notepad++ is configured to convert DOS newlines to Unix newlines? Or maybe there's a program tied to your keyboard driver that's intercepting and munging the values? (or mouse driver if you're using the right-click copy/paste instead of ctrl-c/ctrl-v) Check your clipboard history? Try copying *anything* else, from any other source, and see how Notepad++ behaves? Maybe it's a bug in the clipboard code of the browser you're using. Put some effort into figuring out what is and is not working on your end.

It copies every word fine, and in the right syntax / value / colour.

It just does it all on 1 line. This happens if I copy normal text too.

Im just going to have to copy it manually.

I have tried everything:

I have tried copying your XML by hand unto my XML: It does not work it wont accept the </equips? or the </if> EVERY damn time. I have checked and rechecked it time and time again and it doesnt work.

I cannot copy and paste anything that you guys have post into any XML reader (Notepad ++ Ultraedit) I download. I always just puts the whole information onto 1 line and I cannot change it.

PLEASE dont give me some quip about "If you cant manage Cut and Paste etc .etc" because this is clearly not the case and is very patronising.

All i want to do is to be able to place precast into my cures.

its taken me 3 days now to get this far and now my whole spellcast wont work at all so i cant play.

PLeaes help me out!

Could you please repost your XML on here in a format other that the way you have done it here so i can Copy paste?

As an explanation of what happens:

THIS:

<body>Golaird Saio</body>
<feet>Savant's Loafers +2</feet>
<waist>Korin Obi</waist>

END UP LIKE THIS ON MY COMPUTER AFTER I COPY:

<body>Golaird Saio</body><feet>Savant's Loafers+2</feet><waist>Korin Obi</waist>

All on 1 continuous line. ive tried everything from Paste Special to Formating and nothing works either on Notepad ++ or Ultraedit.

Please help.

Have you tried reformatting it yourself? Just click after every end tag and push enter.
