Request: Pointwatch show remaining exp?

Hi,

Is there any way that we could get pointwatch to show remainders like attainment did?  It really helps me to know how much further I have to go to the next merit/capacity point and I'm sure there are probably others who liked that function as well.  

Example:

exp:  12000/15000 (3000) 

current exp/exp needed to get to next level (this much left until you reach the next level)

Thanks in advance if this is possible!

You can do this with your file. For instance, the default is this:

xp.current..'/'..xp.tnl..'XP '..lp.current..'/'..lp.tnm..'LP ['..lp.number_of_merits..'/'..lp.maximum_merits..'] XP/hr:'..string.format('%.1f',math.floor(xp.rate/100)/10)..'k '..cp.current..'/'..cp.tnjp..'CP ['..cp.number_of_job_points..'] CP/hr:'..string.format('%.1f',math.floor(cp.rate/100)/10)..'k'

But you can change your default to be this:

xp.current..'/'..xp.tnl..'XP ('..(xp.tnl-xp.current)..') '..lp.current..'/'..lp.tnm..'LP ('..(lp.tnm-lp.current)..') '['..lp.number_of_merits..'/'..lp.maximum_merits..'] XP/hr:'..string.format('%.1f',math.floor(xp.rate/100)/10)..'k '..cp.current..'/'..cp.tnjp..'CP ['..cp.number_of_job_points..'] CP/hr:'..string.format('%.1f',math.floor(cp.rate/100)/10)..'k'

Notice how I added the xp.tnl-xp.current and lp.tnm-lp.current? Those should tell you how much you have remaining until the next level or merit.

Hi Byrth,

I'm unfortunately super fail at coding.  I understand what you're trying to do there though.  I tried copy pasting it into the settings.xml file on the <default> line but when I load up ffxi, pointwatch just errors out now.  

It tells me:

PointWatch: Lua runtime error: pointwatch/statistics.lua:148: bad argument #1 to 'setfenv' (number expected, got nil)

PointWatch: Lua runtime error: pointwatch/pointwatch.lua:136: [string "current_string = xp.current..'/'..xp.tnl..'XP ('..(xp.tnl-xp-cu..."]:1: '=' expected near '/'

hello there

i have another problem with pointwatch and everytime i load pointwatch i get this error

PointWatch: Lua runtime error: pointwatch/pointwatch.lua:143: attempt to index a nil value

maybe cause this was a ffxi update or something
