Console error messages after doing a clean install

Hello,

I did a clean installation (e.g. blew away the Windower4 directory) and am getting error messages in the console (insert key).  (NOTE:  I did save the log, photo, and video files/folder, but nothing else.)

The errors are:

Error attainment - File does not exist.

Error blinkmenot - File does not exist.

Error attainment - Plugin was not loaded

Error blinkmenot - Plugin was not loaded

These four message appear each time I log into a character.  I would include a copy of the console log, but it is 0 bytes (thus Windower isn't saving the console to the log file).

Thing is I did NOT enable / download either of these Plugins.  In fact, I don't see Attainment in the Plugin list at all!  As for BlinkMeNot, I don't have it in the list of enable plugins.

NOTE:  In fact, I don't remember even using BlinkMeNot even before the clean reinstall of Windower.  I also haven't used attainment in a long time having moved to the new LUA version.

The autoload.txt file (under scripts folder) is:

// !!! DO NOT EDIT !!!
// ==========================================================================
// This file is automatically generated. Any changes made to this file will
// be overwritten the next time Windower is run.
//

Thank you,

I. B. Halliwell.

P.S.  The main reasons I did the clean install was to see if it would fix the triple log entry issue *AND* also the double "X" key on the controller issue.

The triple log entry problem went away, but while the double "X" key on my controller is better it is still there.  YES, I thought the controller might be at fault, but I can NOT reproduce the issue using other programs / games.  I'm not saying Windower is at fault, but I'm looking for direction from those who know FFXI better than I know it.

OH!  I should note I am running TWO copies of Windower / POL.EXE at the same time.  I'm working on characters on two different POL accounts.

Thanks!

P.S.  REQUEST: Is / Would it be possible to have only the sound/music from the active FFXI window heard?  Yup, like how the sound works with PlayOnline sign in.....  Right now, hearing two FFXI sessions is, well, not very cool (most of the time).  Again, I'm looking for thoughts / suggestions from those who know FFXI better than I know it.  Thanks!!

Check your init.txt file; it's probably where those plugins are being loaded, and since they're not installed you're getting an error. I'm not sure what the double X key thing is.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.  I looked at init.txt and don't see the problem with these two plugins I don't use.  NOTE:  These 4 error message show up each time I log into a character.

In any case, here is the init.txt file:

keyboard_allowmmf 1

//Set console variables
console_position 15 50
console_color 255 255 0 0
console_displayactivity 1
console_fadedelay 3500

//Set general variables

// FPS Position - Use -75 1 to position it on the top right corner.
//fps_position 5 5 //top left
fps_position -75 1 //top right

drawdistance set 10
//Bind keys
//Bind syntax is "bind <key> <up> <command>
// ^ represents control- and ! is alt, eg !1 is alt-1

echo Toggle FPS = F12

echo DrawDistance Lv 1: Ctrl-F10
echo Paste Clipboard = Ctrl-V

//Sets ConsoleBG Background Position

Also here is the Autoload.txt file .....  Also neither of these plugins are in this file either . . .

if it happens when loggin its probably due to plugin_manager trying to load those plugins, check in the settings file of plugin_manager.

OK.  What am I suppose to do with this information.  I looked in the settings.xml file and it made zero sense with notepad.  Basically two lines of run on stuff and nothing read correctly.

I tried doing:  /plugin_manager help   and got nothing ...

Sorry, but this is the default behavior after a clean install and I'd think it would make sense out of the box.

As for the X thing . . . It's actually the "Confirm" button on my Logitech controller (F310 and its the A key).  What I'm seeing is I'll press it once but it will act as two confirms.  Thus as an example:

You'll go to menu to logout and press confirm on Logout and it will bring up the confirmation message and then dismiss it as the second firm ends up say nope, don't log out.

It doesn't happen all the time.  The occurrences take a bit of time -- much quicker when using more than one POL.EXE session for FFXI.

NOTE:  When I use other games and the Logitech diagnostics the problem does NOT show up.

I GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP!

I mean the plugin_manager settings, you can find it in the "...\windower4\addons\plugin_manager\data" folder , open it then delete all the lines that contains a plugin you don't want to load, they show like this:

<plugin>attainment</plugin>

<plugin>blinkmenot</plugin>
