Just a note: If you're using Ashita Windower you can follow the same steps with two differences. Use /exec instead of /console exec and leave out "Input" in the txt files.
Thanks so much, this is what I was looking for. I was doing a search for a spellcast tutorial and found your video. Think this is better and easier than learning how to use spellcast.
Good video as always. Windower Macros are just fine for linear gear swaps but if you want variables and special rules for different situations. For example, if you are a DD and you have your standard TP set, you might have one for PDT tanking. This allows you to use your same macros, the ones you use every day for this and that, but applies them to every situation. If you sit down and really read everything there is to read about Spellcast, you can learn what you need in a matter of hours.
Hey thanks for this. I have been curious about windower macros for a while not but mainly exposed to spellcast and it seemed overwhelming. This made it easy to understand and I really appreciate it. Thanks for posting it, will be following you now. o.o /equip body "Stalker's Cloak".
Do you still play? ... i'm just getting back into game after a 5+ year leave.... using windower4 and windows 10.... and its "cant find ???.txt file" .... are they supposed to be in a new spot, how would i fix it.... ty any info would be great
Just getting back into FFXI and completely forgot how to do the macros with windower. It helped out a bunch liked, faved, and subbed:) BTW do you happen to play on Odin now or in the past? Your name sounds awfully familiar. My main is Pocrage, I'm pretty sure we played together in the past.
I'm sure it's possible.. Especially if you save the macros to SE's backup server, but I've never heard of anyone getting in trouble for it. Although at the same time I wouldn't run around blabbing about using them in game.
Yeah, we still here playing FFXI 8 years after this video was made. I am a scripting genius as I multibox and use /con send commands, but, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to define ambu backs that are all in your inventory into the windower macros. Help!
hiya! ^^ well was wondering if there anything else at all that i have to do, cause unfortunately i did everything in your vid and nothing seems to be working @all, was wondering if maybe u can mae a specific video for macroing gear.
i am stumped i set up a Test macro just like you did and i keep getting Path on found error. is there some kind of program needed or windower to make this work?
Hey there, I wonder if you happen to know how to bind keys for macros on the keyboard. Like the windows key plus numbers. I recently started playing to continue the story and to play other jobs I didn’t get the chance to, since now is easier. Your guide helped me a lot.
hey not sure if you still play this but i just came back from 6 YR leave.. i know right lol anyway i can't remember how to window down with windower i alt tab and it doesn't minimize. help a nub out? :D thx
I would just be happy if I could get my macro window to STAY open in the PC version of Final Fantasy XI rather than having to constantly hit alt or tab.

Very informative. Would like to see a video guide on GearSwap and AutoExec if you've experienced those two, yet.
Thanks man, was seriously stuck before I saw this.
... The fact that I did not think to do that amazes me.

Thank you! Yeah, or like a zerk up/down set. I'm sure Spellcast isn't hard to learn by any means I just haven't done it lol.

Actually on that note, is it even possible to get your macro window to remain open permanently?
