Click on the above link. I explain the inner workings and how to set up the macros used for this specific spellcast file for my latest job to exp!

Only one more level till 75. Woohoo!

Done! Spellcast for Corsair

After many revisions and some 'trial and error's, my spellcast file for my Corsair is finally complete!

Go here for the actual spellcast code: http://windower.net/plugins/spellcast/userxml/cor/leybot_cor
(Spellcast 2.30 compliant! Last Major Update: 10/16/2009)

Covered Gearsets

• Quick Draw shots based on either MAB or AGI. This exludes elemental staves because I use two different sets of macros for shots based on what I'm doing (i.e. merit parties versus special events and ZNMs).
  
• WHM spells (cures, buffs and debuffs)
  
• Three types of ranged attack (based on accuracy, normal or STR)
  
• Weaponskills, melee combat and idle

Features

• When doing phantom rolls, it will also add the dice name and their lucky/unlucky numbers.
  
• Using variables, determine when to equip Luzaf's Ring for Phantom Rolls and Double-Ups. For Corsair's Roll, it will always equip it.
  
• Whether in melee combat or idle, it will switch gear accordingly after performing a ranged attack or Quick Draw shot.

If you fancy yourself a piret, give it a try and let me know how it works!

Safety Dance

We can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't dance
And if they don't dance
Well, they're no friends of mine...
- Safety Dance - Men Without Hats

Let's face it. None of the other races can look as elegant as a dancing Galka. You may think otherwise, but this statement is irrefutable. Nevertheless, we can all keep trying and keep on keeping on. Just dance for the sake of dancing. Forever.

Dance forever. How do you do just that?

1. Sign up for a Windower ballroom dance class.
   
2. In the scripts folder of your Windower directory, create a dance.txt file with the following contents:

echo "=== Start the Dance Marathon! ===";
echo "Use the Control-Escape Key to end this macro.";
plugin_unloadall
//Remove above line if you do NOT want to unload all your plugins.

What this script does:
First, this script unloads all your plugins (so that it won't interfere with them executing commands at same time). Then, it makes you perform 8 dance emotes in an infinite cycle. Upon pressing Ctrl+Esc, the script will stop running and then reload your plugins via your init.txt script. If you are still dancing, just move your character and he/she will stop.

To execute the script, type //exec dance.txt.

Epeen Macro Mastery

Are you one of those people that have 5 or 6 macros just to do a single weaponskill? Two macros dedicated to changing out your entire equipment sans your weapon(s). Another macro for your uber relic/mythic weaponskill. And then another couple more to change back into your TP/haste/melee setup. That sound about right?


Let's face it. You like to stroke your e-peen with weaponskill damage in the 4 digit range. Anything less is just unacceptable. In real life, you sport those Affliction t-shirts and have a PC rig that costs as much as the down payment you made on that lifted Hummer. When partying a lowbie job, you keep telling fellow party members of that sick damage you do against Kirin and how you pull out 3k sidewinders in merit parties. Yeah, brooooo. You're like awesome.

Okay, douchebags! It's time to listen to your new anthem and get cracking on some scripts! In this example, I'll use the rare job Samurai that no one really plays too much.

Here's what you'll need before stroking your epeen harder without a lot of macros:

1. Get some Windower lube for your epeen.
   
2. Create two (or three) text files and name them in the following format: [job][equip type].txt. For Samurai melee/tp, you can call it SAMmelee.txt. For single hit great katana weaponskills, name the file SAMws_single.txt. For multi hit weapons skills like penta thrust, create a file named SAMws_multi.txt.txt.
   
3. For each of the text files, the contents should be in the following format. Substitute in your own uber gear for each setup:

input /equip head "Ed Hardy Hat +1"
input /equip neck "Snoop Dogg 24K Gold Chain"
input /equip ear1 "Earring of Awesome Power"
input /equip ear2 "Earring of Powerful Awesomeness"
input /equip body "Affliction Tshirt +1"
input /equip hands "Abercrombie & Fitch Leather Wristbands"
input /equip ring1 "2009 Laker Championship Ring"
input /equip ring2 "Pimp ring of Pimped Out Pimpness"
input /equip back "Amemet Mantle +4"
input /equip waist "Douchebag Belt of the Bros +1"
input /equip legs "True Religion jeans of Ridiculousness"
input /equip feet "Chuck Taylor Converse +1"

Now that you have your gear text files created and saved in the Scripts folder of your Windower directory, let's make some macros for that elusive Samurai in mind!

Uber Gekko Macro
//exec SAMws_single.txt
/wait 1
/ws "Tachi: Gekko"
/wait 1
//exec SAMmelee.txt

Penta Thrust of Epeenery Macro
//exec SAMws_multi.txt
/wait 1
/ws "Penta Thrust"
/wait 1
//exec SAMmelee.txt

Bam! Two complete gear changes and your weaponskill ALL IN ONE single macro! Wassup brrrrrrooooo!!!

If you don't want to have ridiculous amounts of instantaneous "Equipment changed." in your chat log, download the Silence as well. It will condense all that nonsense into a single line.

Wanna step your game even more? Then check out Spellcast. Like Extenze, it'll lengthen your epeen even more and give it some girth.

Party hard and keep your mouth yappin' about your leetness!

Ranger G-spot & Unlimited Shot

Oooh. A little to the left. Mmmm. Okay now, move up more. No wait, that's too much. Sweet feathery Jesus, OMG that's it!

Still trying to find the Sweet Spot to maximize your damage with your pew pew? Yes, it varies with gun, bow and crossbow...and maybe even that pebble you like to throw at worms. So you want to find it faster so you can quickly lay that monster...to the ground? Here's what you'll need to do:

1. Go to the book store and buy Dr. Ruth's copy of "How to satisfy your mate with Windower".
   
2. Skip to chapter 4, "Finding the elusive G-spot with your Distance plugin".
   
3. Depending on the size of your weapon, you may have to stand closer or farther away. Get a ruler to see how your weapon measures up or just go here.

The distances on FFXIclopedia aren't the same as what you'll see exactly using the distance plugin, but you'll figure it out in the end.

And remember to always practice safety first as well. You don't wanna be sticking your Patriarch Protector's Arrow into something unclean without first slapping on Unlimited Shot. You'll need three macros to get the job done.

Ranged Attack
Use this while shooting for TP. Unequips any ammo and equips TP ammo, then fires it while announcing your TP level. The last line is optional, but is helpful for those that aren't typically engaged while shooting for TP.
/equip ammo
/equip ammo "Demon arrow"
/ra <t>
/echo TP<tp>

Unlimited Shot
Unfortunately, this one isn't entirely stupid-proof. If Unlimited Shot is still on recast, do NOT use weaponskill! If you chose not to WS or the JA is not up, it will switch back to your normal ammo after X seconds. X is equal to whatever you're comfortable with. If JA is ready, then be sure to fire off your Sidewinder macro before X seconds.
/ja "Unlimited Shot" <me>
/equip ammo "Patriarch Protector's Arrow"
/wait X
/equip ammo
/equip ammo "Demon arrow"

Sidewinder
Time for the money shot. Thrust this macro before "X" second from the above macro. It will send your PPA spiralling and then safely return to your regular ammo.
/ws "Sidewinder" <t>
/wait 1
/equip ammo
/equip ammo "Demon arrow"

I hope this helps you as much as it helped me. And remember folks, you don't wanna go out like Willy Lump Lump. Slap it on extra tight!

Spectral Jig

"WTFcakes!"

You've probably said that a couple times or so when sneaking and invising around monsters that can facerape you with just their pinky. Whether it be DNC main or /DNC, you've all wished that this job ability would last longer. (At least it's better than a RNG's Camouflage!)

So here's the recipe for some easy and smart Spectral Jig:

Ingredients:
1. One quart of Windower cake batter.
2. Three cups of Cancel plugin frosting.
3. A pinch of Macro know-how

Cook #1 until golden brown. Apply #2 frosting after cooling. Now create the following macro:

//cancel 71
//cancel 69
/ja "Spectral Jig" <me>

The first and second line will cancel your sneak and invis. The third line will obviously instant cast your job ability. No more manually cancelling your sneak and invis and then pounding your macro like pizza dough.

Note: You can not mash this macro. If you do, you will cancel your freshly baked Spectral Jig. Think of it as a delicate souffle. Be smart of where and when you do this. There are some monsters that will aggro the use of Job Abilities or your stupidity.
