Equipment Macro Problem

Anyone able to help me figure this out real quick... i skimmed and did a search but can't figure this out...

if you are using a windower .txt to swap gear... such as:
For some stupid reason it only swaps in 1 melody earring instead of both...

anyone have any idea how to combat this? same thing happens when i switch back to DD gear:

Really annoying and i can't find anything on it atm. I assume it's because they have the same name and it's trying to equip the same one twice?

EDIT: is for sure because of the same name, now how do i combat this problem i know i can't be the only one and for some reason whenever i try to do a search on this i get spellcast third party results which isn't the same thing here.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated :|

as far as i know cant fix it, just hit your macro twice quickly is what i do b/c it doesnt know which earring to equip because of them sharing name

bahhhhh.

i am dissapoint.

can do a wait 0.3 or something between them, usually works

That's odd. I'm using Coral earrings on my dancer right now and the .txt macros seem to be working just fine.

I'm sure this wont make a difference but have you tried adding a ; after each line. I've always had my macros like that, and it's the only difference I can see between yours and mine.

ie: input /equip ear1 "Coral Earring";


Dunno if that will work or not but it's worth a try.

Oooooooooh, Clin, I just had to deal with that with some of my macros when I started using Windower macros rather than FFXI macros. What you do is basically separate the two slots:
It worked out fine for me, hopefully it does for you, too :)

why are you messing with bst?

Never put your gear changes for ear and rings next to each other, it'll mess up every time. Also you don't need a /wait before you change your sub just put it at the end of the list and the Main at the top.

did i ever tell you how *** awesome you are :D

i didn't know i wasn't allowed to ._.

and also perfect ^_^

guys thanks a ***ton :D

You got your cap already, not sure what you going to use bst for. Interesting to see what they will add to bst past 75.

Check my profile again lol ._. i went insane and doing all of them to 75 now.

I actually have a legit reason this time besides a lame blue cap. I plan to take everything to 75 so that i can retire myself from everything except jobs i WANT to play as.

People will probably say "yeah sure you'll take them all to 99 too" but honestly no. Ever since i earned my maat's cap it's been a nightmare on what jobs i come as to events...

It's a bit of a curse.

This time if i get everything to 75 and only take 2-3 jobs i LOVE to 99... it's basically a second chance for me to gear the few jobs and dedicate myself to something instead of being a jack of all trades.

You'd be surprised when you have 15 75's how much you're of money gets spread around allowing you not to focus on what you enjoy and making you mediocre/average at everything.

Now to go get myself killed on BST trying to solo lmao.

I think my macros are setup decent and i have gear sets to cover certain situations hopefully.

I had no idea reward was modified by MND :O

I knew somebody who had all jobs 75 and over 600merits... She had nothing left to do so she quit and gave her account away...

edit**691merits

i didnt know the trick about putting them at seperate slots in the list, ty for that also :)

Well i don't plan to quit afterwards, just take SAM MNK and possibly WHM to 99 and enjoy those jobs instead of having everything.

I have a ton of friend's on the game and enjoy their company a bit too much to just leave. Plus this site/forums is fun for passing time (lol at the cesil drama thread).

I'm good for a bit still ^^

XD rofl, np, I went through the same "OMG D:" you did, just had some helpful lsmates around to point me in the right direction. Glad I could help~ (about the most useful thing I've done around here for a while, too. BUT THAT'S ABOUT TO CHANGE, SUMMER BREAK WOO WOO)

If this is the case would /wait 1 between earrings fix it?

nvm guess you figured it out.

awesome~ i've died twice already -.-;

Ok then. On a similar vein does anyone know how to make windower differentiate between peices of gear with the same name. Ie if you got cool augments on one for 1 thing. Or say trial staffs?

Only way to guarantee it is to keep one in storage or something like that.

I BELIEVE windower macros and Spellcast always pick the first item of that name in your inventory, so if you're on, say, RDM trying to macro in a MACC staff, that one has to be first in your inventory. Then if you switch to BLM, you put your MAB staff first.

Edit: Idk what kind of trial staves there are, that was just a guess.

Well the whole point would be to have multiple and effectively replace my HQ staves for dmg. And maybe if I felt really crazy get a set of ones for macc too. And of course the cure potency one I already have.

I heard someone about windower being able to macro in peices from a certain spot in your inventory too... or is that hooey? If so that would be feasible as long as I kept things in the right spot

lol just posted in the linkshell:ni cause I didnt see you had made a new thread about it. But yeah, this is correct.

It's technically a lag issue. The windower macro uses each input consecutively, and on faster connections the inputs happen so quickly that the game doesnt have time to sort your inventory and check whether certain items (or duplicates) are currently equippable before running all of the input commands on a windower script. So what happens is when the input for both ear1 and ear 2 come through the command line, the input is so fast that the game simply attempts to equip the same earring in both ear slots. The first earring it found in your inventory is still unequipped when it runs the input for ear2.

Staggering slots as posted above simply allows time for the first earring to equip, so when the input for ear2 does the inventory check it finds your second, unequipped earring.

It's the same thing for putting the /wait command in before equipping the grip. You dont actually need to use the /wait command, you just need to allow time for the game to recognize that you have equipped a two-handed weapon. Generally, placing the weapon as the first input, and the grip as your last input should provide more than ample time for this to occur.

heres an example, i have 2x star rings for mp/h and used to have same issue.

remedy was,

line1- /console exec "whatever-mp/h.txt" (this equips all my mp/h gear + refresh body and only one of the star rings)
line2- /wait 17
line3- /equip ring2 "star ring"
line4- /equip body "errant hpl."


edit: putting /waits in the .txt wont work and staggering the same equips within the .txt wont always work.

double edit: the wait can be whatever. i do wait 17 to keep refresh body on for awhile before the first tick of mp/h @ 20 secs.

atm, not possible. if you wanna use multiple weapons with identical names, gonna have to satchel and/or manually equip them mid battle.

Which basically makes it impossible to use the staffs as a set or even partial set except for long spells or manually equipping them before you hit maccro lol

use sets and use inputs for sub rules for like different subjob for specific pieces

How exactly would that help?

The point is to be able to nuke lightning in


Then nuke ice in



Then say sleepga in



Or whatever etc etc. All on the same job. Potentially with 12 staffs per job... ok probably more like since there is no point in rdm or blm needing light acc or dmg ones or needing a dark dmg one or needing a fire or lightning acc ones.

gonna have to just pick one brah.

im doing the thunder dmg(blm), -4 dark perp(smn), and 15% cure(rdm and future whm) staves personally. almost have kartika done ^^
