Regarding scripts..
All your scripts from 3.4 will work in 4.0 because 4.0 was built on the same platform. you need to locate the windower4 files and replace the empty script folder with your original folder from 3.4.
When you initially downloaded 4.0, you had to select a location for the windower4 files. For me, it was C: > Program files (x86) > windower4.
Find this folder and move it to your desktop if you want to. Then replace the empty script and screenshot (if you wish) folders with your folders from 3.4.
After that, everything should be fine regarding scripts.

right click pol icon and select "troubleshoot compatibility". I think kernalbase has something to do with how apps work with windows 7. Is that what you are using?

lol no problems. Yea I been using 3.4 for a while, but now my Plugins don't work and some of my macros don't want to work correctly. Before the Update I did try to use beta 4.0 and the hook.dll crashed on me and I went back to 3.4. So far I'm kind of dead in the water. Yea I can play the game, but I want my plugins XD Any word on when 4.0 is out of Beta and 3.4 will get a fix?

How can I get recast to work on Windower 4? I'm not a huge fan of timers and the bars across my screen.
Also, on windower 3.4 I used to have the graphics settings kind of dumbed down so that when i dboxed I hardly ever experienced lag, but ever since i downloaded windower 4 it bumped up my settings quite a bit to the point that on just one character I'll experience some pretty bad lag. I have super sampling on and everything else is default. I'd prefer to have my old windower 3.4 settings back if possible, i'm using 800x600 display.
EDIT: Also, is there any way to get Yarnball for 4.0?

4.0 comes with all the plugins 3.4 has with a few minor changes. 3.4 is broken atm so my best advice would be to download 4.0, it is very simple and takes just a few minutes. If your using windower scripts for macroes, you'll need to delete the empty scripts folder in 4.0 and just replace it with your scripts folder from 3.4.
When you launch 4.0, there is a very simple menu option that lets you turn on/off any plugins you see fit.

Just now DL'ed it and the graphics....my gosh, it is excellent! Thank you so much Ihm for your hard work, and to the rest of the Windower Team. And even the plugins are so much easier to maintain than 3.4 was.
Thank you!!!

This is what I am working with too. Seems fine, but don't do FULLSCREEN, the Alt + Tab feature seems to crash PoL.

In regards to the new graphical recast
If you want to change it back to the way it looked in 3.4:
1. Find your windower4 file.
2. windower4 > plugins > settings > RIGHT CLICK on timers.xml and select edit.
3. top line should read <graphicalmode>true</graphicalmode>
4. change true to false then SAVE (can't tell you how many times people forget to save)
There you go :)

One thing I seem to have a problem in is:
Not being able to access my taskbar when I hover over the bottom area of my screen while in Windower4. To surf the internet as I game. I never had this problem with this in 3.4.
Any help in regarding this, please post here.

maybe play around with your profile settings in the launcher. There are 3 options: borderless window, window, fullscreen. see if any of those work the way you want it to.

Not sure if this was answered earlier, but when I change the settings.xml (for Timers and Gearcollector) and try to save, it keeps saying that t he file is in use by another application. FFXI and Pol arent open, even restarted and getting same result. Am I overlooking something glaringly obvious?
Edit: nvm, figured it out

So wait, are we able to record videos in Windower4 now? Wondering what the video folder is for.
Yes. Oh hell yes!

Still having issues with <stnpc> and <stpc> macro's going off before hitting enter. Perhaps a spellcast problem idk.

Most likely its Borderless Window. Will try it in a few.
EDIT: Windowed mode was it. Thanks, Jarrin!

Been using w4 for a day or two now. Since the switch, I randomly crash when I'm 'engaged' (casting nukes, using JAs between spells from /SCH etc). I unloaded all plugins and I'm still having the same issue. Is anyone else experiencing something similar, or have any suggestions as to what it might be?

Anyone annoyed by the enmity system right now? lol. I dunno if it's just me or if they messed something up but as WHM in a few of the new areas we fought like 1 of every monster type just for something to do and I couldn't even cast anything barely without pulling hate expecially at the beginning of a fight. Slow or Paralyze pulling hate even after 6-7% life has been taken off the monster, a Cure III or 2 pulling hate from DDs when the monster is half dead already, etc. I just gave up after a while and just stood right behind the monsters cause it was getting annoying.

Everything in 4.0 is great! Might be a bug or a patch coming out for spellcast for this issue. When i use <stpc > it doesnt allow me to make a target then let the spell/action go off, it just selects myself and goes off. ><; anyone else with this issue or just my old xml spellcasts.

@ Jarrin, thanks for the tip for the "troubleshoot compatibility" option on Windows 7. it worked :)
We've released a fix for Windower 4. If you use the Windower 4 Beta, just re-run the launcher and it will automatically update. If you haven't moved to v4 yet, we encourage you to do so here. We are working on backporting the fix to 3.4, and will be posting an update when a fix is available.
It's a hook update, so make sure you close the game before updating :).
