Hi friends,
tTracker is a Windower addon for Final Fantasy XI that displays recent spell casts and TP moves used by your current target in a small, draggable text box. It helps track enemy actions in real time.
This addon displays:
Spells cast by your target (color-coded by element)
Monster abilities being readied by your target (with optional manual element coloring)
Weapon skills being used by your player/trust target (color-coded by element)
Spells and TP moves interrupted
Commands
//track mode [always|combat|action] -- When you want tTracker to be showing (default: always)
//track lines <1–50> -- Max lines displayed (default: 5)
//track timeout <1–120> -- Line duration in seconds (default: 20)
//track status -- View current settings
tTracker also has the capability of manually adding elements to specific monster abilities if needed. I've found this particularly helpful for Sortie D and H bosses as a RDM.
See below:
( Valid elements are: `fire`, `water`, `wind`, `ice`, `earth`, `thunder`, `light`, `dark`)
Changes:
Note:
Additional Comments:
Spells and player weaponskills are colored based on their element as defined by Windower’s `resources`.
Some spells (specifically Blue Magic spells such as *Cocoon*) or physical weaponskills may appear with unexpected colors. Example: *Cocoon* is an Earth spell, but may appear as element ID `15` (None) due to how Windower classifies it. Similarly, physical weaponskills are classified by default as light. (This is a limitation of Windower’s internal spell database and not a bug in the addon.)Addressed fully now. In large part to comments from u/Lili
Windower does not natively recognize monster ability elements, so they will need to be manually added if required
I recognize there is some overlap with OhShi. However, I've found this more user friendly as: a) it tracks everything your target is casting/readying, not simply what you manually specify; b) it automatically assigns colors based on elements of spells/weaponskills; and c) it looks nicer.
Cheers!

This might help you, it's a little snippet of code I wrote to fix the Light element thing you said. Basically that flag is not really the element, it refers to what color to display - and both Light element and Physical weaponskills use the same white icon.
This sorts through that. Turns out there's exactly 10 light elemental weaponskills in the game, and no more.
Code
local res = require('resources')
local light_ws = S{ "Shining Blade", "Seraph Blade", "Primal Rend", "Tachi: Koki", "Uriel Blade",
"Shining Strike", "Seraph Strike", "Flash nova", "Trueflight", "Garland of Bliss" }
for i in pairs(res.weapon_skills) do
local rline = res.weapon_skills[i]
local skill = rline.skill and res.skills[rline.skill].english or 'None'
if rline.element == 6 and not light_ws:contains(rline.english) then
rline.element = -1
end
end
You can do the same for blue magic, but as you can see from here you need to categorize stuff manually.

Hey Lili, I appreciate the assistance. I didn't know that the element in resources corresponed to the color, which makes a lot of sense. For the weaponskill issue, I made a separate table (light_weaponskills) and simply added the following in my p.Category == 7 logic:
Code if element_id == 6 and not light_weaponskills[ws_name] then
element_id = nil -- override false "Light" classification
end
It's gonna take me some time to manually do Blue magic spells, however. Thankfully, the vast majority do seem to correspond correctly. Appreciate the input!
Update: Now working properly.
