How To Stop A Windower Macro

How do I stop a Windower macro? I've accidentally hit my 12 hour healing skill up macro when I don't want to skill up my healing. Is there some command I can do to cancel it?

//quit

or /logout, but I don't know if that will help when you log back in :D

Don't use skill up scripts, use skill up XML's that have cycles that can be stopped. fail safes are nice ^^

You can log out, but the moment you log back in I'm fairly sure the script will continue. Windower needs to be entirely restarted to reset.

How do I use XML's? (This is Aelogis btw)

And how do you reset Windower?

This is the one I like to use since it's a combine skill up with many various skills.

*You'll need spellcast.
*You'll need to make minor changes to the skill up script for fastcast, what skill you are working on and if you use food.
*I recommend skilling up in Adoulin areas for the bonus to skill ups.

If you have any questions, I can take a look and help.

Depending on the script, you may have options for ending it without logging out:

Many scripts that loop will either call themselves at the end of the script (i.e., you're running skillup.txt and the last line of the script is 'exec skillup.txt' - which is bad practice), or run an previously defined alias.

If the script you're stuck in is calling a script file at the end of it, just rename the .txt file; when the script gets to the point to execute the .txt file, it won't find it and end.

If the script is calling an alias to loop itself (i.e., at the beginning of the script it says 'alias startover' and the last line of the script is 'startover'), you can either enter 'alias startover /' into the console (or '//alias startover /' into the ffxi chat box) (no quotes on either), or you can do 'clearaliases'. clearaliases can be annoying if you have other aliases set up already, as you'd have to readd them (or re-run the script to add them).

If your script is just 800 lines of copy-pasted 'cast a spell' 'wait some time' 'repeat', then you'll have to close that windower instance as far as I know (I believe scripts will continue to run after you've logged out of a character).

Ideally, the best option would be to use a script that you're able to break out of, but I wanted to mention a few options for people who may have gotten stuck. I preferred using Aikar's skillup scripts; they're simple, effective, and easy to customize without spellcast knowledge (see my post in the link Sekundes posted).

I actually would like to know the opposite, after my skillup script stops i would like it to restart, is there a command?

Add more lines to make it longer lol

Huh? lol

Just copy and paste more identical lines to the file.

Are you talking about the smn file? that thing should run for like 9 hours lol.

If you wanted it to go... 18 hours you just paste another 50,000 lines on it lol.

Im pretty sure there should be a repeating addon somewhere.

Just use it

It starts with refresh and then i set it to cycle through all my avatars, after diabolos i want it to start all over again, refresh then cycle through.

Copy + 1 blank line at the end
Control VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV until you get tired of holding it lol

whats the point in cycling all avatars? I just capped on my just repeating carbuncle.

I just grab one line hold shift and use the down arrow to grab, much easier than that mouse, and why did you put siren and cait sith? they avatars now? lol

https://github.com/smd111/Gearswap-Skillup

--this tool is set it and forget it you can leave it running for hours as long as se does not log you out it will keep running--

to start Summoning magic skillup use command "gs c start summoning"
to stop all skillups use command "gs c skillstop"

Cait Sith and Siren are avatars now, yeah

But thats gear swap, i dont swap gear when im skilling, unless im misunderstanding that whole script.

You dont have to actually use gearswap, the lua just needs gearswap to function

Gearswap is the name of a lua, not "Swapping gear"

(I've never used it, I like my script)

Oh ok

In case i decide to try it, where do i place that lua?

addons

Oh aright
