Hey there everyone.
I've been studying the blue mage xml listed on BG. However it is rather complex in basis for my understanding of BlueMage, and it seems a bit over the top for where I'm currently at with the job. Not that it isn't useful, just I'm not getting the whole picture.
For those wondering its listed here.
BG Blue Mage XML
There are multiple sets for the same spell, but based on variables the set changes. Burst Affinity, Chain Affinity, and Variable "N"
Does anyone have any suggestions or a completed XML that I could utilize? I found a somewhat completed version of the posted XML, but pieces of it weren't utilized.
Somewhat Completed Blue XML
Thanks in advance~

just fill in your gear for the sets listed.
the xml seems fine.
the only other thing anyone could do for you is try to teach you whichever parts you are confused about... but you didn't specify.

If you want to learn how it all works together, then you need to do what everyone else has done. Write your own to do exactly what you want it to do. Then test it, rewrite, test it, get baked like an apple pie when it doesn't work, have a eureka moment, test it again, then repeat until no one plays the game but you.
Those spellcasts are easy to understand, you just need to learn to read them by knowing how to write them. You'll be surprised how powerful and how over the top OCD you can really be with spellcast. This is a spellcast script,WAR script, I wrote years ago for my WAR. I would have 9 different sets of gear varying by ACC (1=low ACC, 9=full ACC) for TP, RR and KJ. I would have premade variables with the monsters name and use different sets with different buffs. For example, <var name="Greater Colibri">223 111A 112H</var> (oh how I do not miss colibri...) would equip engage set2/RR set 2/KJ set 3 when neither hasso or aggressor up AND equip engage set1/RR set 1/KJ set 2 when aggressor is up AND equip engage set1/ RR set 1/ KJ set 1 when hasso (without aggressor) is up.

Hooyah Necro bumps! Anywho, I have a problem with these lines I created....
<if spell="Amorphic Spikes" buffactive="Chain Affinity">
<equip when="precast" set="CDC" />
</if>
<elseif spell="Hysteric Barrage|Vanity Dive|Disseverment|Battle Dance|Barbed Crescent|Amorphic Spikes">
<equip when="precast" set="phydex" />
</elseif>
Under Chain Affinity my Amorphic Spikes will still cast in phydex set and not CDC.
<if spell="Amorphic Spikes" buffactive="Chain Affinity">
<equip when="precast" set="CDC" />
</if>
<elseif spell="Hysteric Barrage|Vanity Dive|Disseverment|Battle Dance|Barbed Crescent|Amorphic Spikes">
<equip when="precast" set="phydex" />
</elseif>
Under Chain Affinity my Amorphic Spikes will still cast in phydex set and not CDC.
Spellcast parses from top to bottom. Since Amorphic Spikes is also under your elseif rules, it'll equip phydex after the CDC set, since in this case, Amorphic Spikes fulfills BOTH conditions. The solution is to take out the "buffactive="Chain Affinity" clause and write it as such:
Code
<if spell="Hysteric Barrage|Vanity Dive|Disseverment|Battle Dance|Barbed Crescent"> <equip when="precast" set="phydex" /> </if> <elseif spell="Amorphic Spikes"> <if BuffActive="Chain Affinity"> <equip when="precast" set="CDC" /> </if> <else> <equip when="precast" set="phydex" /> </else> </elseif>
Awesome! That works, thank you.

[34 days between previous and next post]It's probably been asked 1000 times but I can't seem to find it. Is there a way to have it switch in athos's gloves on the correct day?
This is my Mekira-oto rule, which the athos's rule should not be too far away from:
<if advanced='"%DayElement" = "Light" OR "%DayElement" = "Thunder" OR "%DayElement" = "Wind"'>
<equip when="precast">
<head lock="yes">Mekira-oto +1</head>
</equip>
</if>
I'm sorry I can't be more specific atm but hopfully it gives an idea
<if advanced='"%DayElement" = "Light" OR "%DayElement" = "Thunder" OR "%DayElement" = "Wind"'>
<equip when="precast">
<head lock="yes">Mekira-oto +1</head>
</equip>
</if>

HA! Tyvm that was exactly what i needed, just had to play with it a tad to get it right but it works perfectly now.
I used prothescar's xml and it worked perfect. The only thing I had to add was to always put myself back in idle gear when not in combat. The one I got initially would only switch into idle when leaving combat, but if I casted a buff I'd go back to tp.
Yeah I just made mine based on Prothescar's XML last night. I took out a few sets for situations that I didn't have any gear at all for, and added a Town Gear set.
Working beautifully. :D
Working beautifully. :D
How does Prothescar's XML use PDT and MDT gearsets? I see that they're in the XML itself, but there are no rules for them. Do you just equip the sets via macro? I don't know the specifics of working that so that it'll stay on when you need it, without auto-setting to TP to early or not at all.
/sc set pdt
/sc set mdt
in a macro~

I just started using spellcast and am not entirely sure where I would put the bit for properly using athos gloves also is this what it should be for use(assuming CDC)
<if advanced='"%DayElement" = "Light" OR "%DayElement" = "Ice" OR "%DayElement" = "Water"'>
<equip when="precast">
<hands lock="yes">athos gloves</hands>
</equip>
</if>
<if advanced='"%DayElement" = "Light" OR "%DayElement" = "Ice" OR "%DayElement" = "Water"'>
<equip when="precast">
<hands lock="yes">athos gloves</hands>
</equip>
</if>
I assume you'll have a CDC rule in there to swap your gear anyway, if so then put it after something that should look like this:
Add that section just after your precast gear swap (the one that puts on WS gear), you don't need the spaces - I just wanted to make it a little clearer where the code was.
Code xml
<if spell="Chante du Cygne"> <equip when="precast" set="CDC" /> </if>

thank you that is most helpful
