So I'm returning to FFXI after almost a 2 year break. However I've noticed that my beloved spellcast no longer works/is supoorted. I hear the new rage is gearswap.
My main jobs are MNK, THF, SMN and WHM in pretty much that order.
Can someone direct me to gearswap files that already are complete and I can just edit my gear to them?
This would be really helpful and appreciative. I know hoping for a converter to convert the SC file to a GS file is asking a bit much lol so this is the next best alternative :P
Many thanks in advance!

Found a converter lol I'm insanely surprised and impressed at how one was conjured up. Thanks to those involved with that!

I'm curious as well. Please do share the info. Thanks!
Incase anyone wants an accurate shadow counter you can use the text plugin and gearswap to do just that. Paste this into your Job.lua in the appropriate places. After reloading your gearswap give it about 10 seconds or so to kick in and then your good to go.
edit: Changed over to Bryth's example use this instead!
Thanks Byrth!

I was trying to use the built in text but i'm new to it all and couldn't get it working if you can show me how to improve it i would be greatful. Thanks!
edit: Sorry i didn't mean to say gearswap.lua i meant job.lua fixed it now thanks.

with regard to my post earlier just wondering is there a resources issue with defending ring at the moment? wont equip from wardrobe, could be just me maybe should i download and do a fresh install?
Hi, just trying to get into gearswap and started with my THF using Bryth's example THF lua to build upon, I completed the sets but when I try to load it I get the error ')' expected near '='.
I'll moan that spellcast at least pointed to a line when there was an error, reminds me of my failed attempt at learning C++ at Uni. But what is that supposed to mean? am I missing a bracket? I'd love to solve this myself as a sort of adjustment to gearswap before I come in with my lua uploaded to pastebin or something.
Kinda frustrating as I don't think I deviated too much from the example file which loaded fine.
Read the error more carefully. It also gives a line number.
Wish it did, I messed around with it, purposely deleted some things, doing some things caused the same error but with a line number whereas the bulk of them were the error message with no line number.
Are you sure that your screen isn't just too short? I have done a little Lua scripting and there are no syntax errors that fail to generate a line number.

Well I went home last night and tried it out. The Script loaded, and the sets were changing as requested. However they were not changing back to idle. There was also a number of "\" in there so ill be cleaning that up and trying it again tonight. Though the gear was changing on every skill used, be it Shijin, Perfect counter etc. I dont know if anyone would have the time to look at my new lua file as its still all new to me. Just to tell me why its not reverrting back to idle (if i cant figure it out). Also i use to use /sc "set name" to switch to P/MDT sets or /ma "water v" to lock certain equip. They dont work no more. Is this normal and is the set changes purely just a /sc > /gs ?
I have a question regarding the sets export to XML for gearcollector.
After I export, rename and place the XML file in my spellcast folder and let gearcollector transfer all the gear using the freshly exported XML file gearcollector just stops moving gear at some point and just stays like that until I go into the console and stop it manually.
Restarting it doesn't matter because it won't move anything beyond the initial items.
I have tried this with both my monk and summoner LUA.
I have looked around for an answer but couldn't find anything that solved it.
I have found a workaround by using my old spellcast, manually emptying all the gearsets in it and pasting a dump of the export into one of the existing gearsets in there.
Something I'd rather not do as I still have several other old spellcast to replace.
Anyone know the reason why the export, which is a very basic spellcast file doesn't work, but when I copy the gearlines and paste them into an existing Spellcast, it does?
In short, this cat wants to be lazy, export, rename and be done with it, not having to edit 2 or 3 seperate files every time my gearsituation changes a bit. :)

Are you sure you're referring to the exported file when you gear collect, and not one of your old xmls?
If you named the file RNG_GC.xml then you would call it with //gc rng_gc
Hello im new to gs and have lil problem since last night , it still swaps gear and working fine the only problem is it not changing Instruments thats all so can any1 pretty pls look at my brd gs and help me out fix this thing?
Also i use to use /sc "set name" to switch to P/MDT sets or /ma "water v" to lock certain equip. They dont work no more. Is this normal and is the set changes purely just a /sc > /gs ?
//gs equip <fullSetName> will equip a set.
i.e. //gs equip sets.precast.Chakra.
//gs works from the chat bar, you'll need to use /console gs equip sets.precast.Chakra from a macro.
You can disable individual slots by typing //gs disable <slotName> and you can enable them again with //gs enable <slotName>.
i.e. //gs disable ammo //gs enable ammo
Just looking for someone to explain this addon a bit for me. It looks like it is an alternative to Spellcast.
Is it going to be replacing Spellcast? In which ways is it better or worse. I don't know any programming but I've slowly learned more and more about spellcast and the 'language' used in gearswap is confusing to me.
It says it uses packets so it potentially could be more detectable? but does that also eliminate any lag that spellcast may encounter?
I plan on redoing my PUP xml to include pet casting sets thanks to the new addon petschool. I'm just not sure if it's worth it to just wait until gearswap gets more popular or to go ahead and do it in spellcast.
If anyone could give me more info I'd greatly appreciate it.
