A tool to reduce the amount of button mashing in the FFXI game.
By default, HealBot will monitor the party that it is in.
Commands to monitor or ignore additional players can be found below.
Buffs gained via job abilities are now supported, but have not yet been tested extensively.
This is doubly true with pet jobs.
Alternative for pet job abilities that I have found plays relatively nicely with healbot: Headtatt / Selendrile's Gearswaps https://github.com/Headtatt/GearSwap
Detection of whether the local healer is able to act has been improved for when debuffs such as sleep or petrify are active, so that now it should not try to spam spells while unable to act. This is apparent by the text box in the top- left corner of the screen displaying the message 'Player is disabled'.
Bard songs are not supported at this time. Singer is the best alternative - https://github.com/zpaav/Singer
GEO isn't well supported at this time. Alternative: AutoGEO - https://github.com/zpaav/AutoGEO
COR is also not well supported at this time. Alternatives: Roller - https://github.com/zpaav/Roller AutoCOR - https://github.com/Icydeath/ffxi-addons/tree/master/AutoCOR
Coming soon: The ability to cast offensive spells on an assist target's target. Work in SCH AOE Regen with Max Duration / Potency. May try AOE options for other buffs as well (Protect, Shell, etc.).
HealBot now supports IPC between multiple instances of Windower running on the same computer when both characters have HealBot loaded! This means that HealBot will now be even better at detecting the buffs/debuffs that are active for characters on the same computer!
Only the healer's HealBot needs to be on - the non-healer just needs to have HealBot loaded to be able to tell the healer's instance about its active buffs and debuffs.
These libs can be downloaded here. Full url: https://github.com/zpaav/lor_libs/
To install, unzip the download and place the internal most lor folder into the Windower\addons\libs folder.
To verify the correct folder setup, click on the lor folder and if it has the lor-*.lua files inside that lor folder it's good to go.
If not, go one level deeper until you see those files.
gearswap shortcuts cancel
Please install these and turn them on. This can be done through the Windower Addons options.
If you have the shortcuts addon installed, your aliases.xml file from that addon
will be loaded, and those aliases will be available for use when specifying
buffs.
You can edit/add/remove buff lists that can be invoked with the
//hb bufflist listName targetName command in data/buffLists.lua. The order of
buffs within the list does not affect the order in which they will be cast.
Follow the syntax of existing sets when adding/editing your own.
You can also edit/add/remove debuff lists that can be invoked with the
//hb debufflist listName command in data/debuffLists.lua.
Follow the syntax of existing sets when adding/editing your own.
You can modify the priority with which other players will be attended to by
editing data/priorities.lua. Note that detection of players' jobs is not
perfect at the moment, so it is better to specify individual players' priorities
by name. Lower numbers represent higher priority. Follow the syntax of
existing sets when adding/editing your own.
Monster abilities that do not display what debuffs they cause are specified in
mabil_debuffs.lua. This list is woefully incomplete, but I plan on vastly
expanding it in the near future. If you decide to add any, I would greatly
appreciate it if you would share what you have added. If you add something, and
it isn't detected, please notify me, and I will attempt to make sure that it can
be detected in the future.
Place the healBot folder in .../Windower/addons/

There is an option to load up custom settings file that is setup by the end user. This will minimize the amount of commands that are run to get healbot up and moving.
To load custom settings healBot: //hb custom (Custom Settings List Name)
The location of the custom settings are in data/custom_settings.lua.
Reference the custom lists already in there for some ideas. Further explanation of the settings and examples are below.
These settings can work along with the data/buffLists.lua and data/debuffLists.lua lists that are setup to ensure that buffs and debuffs are brought in.
Reference each of these as well to setup customized buffs and debuff lists to be brought in.
