Can you reproduce the issue?

anytime bard is medding

Some days ago I noticed new behavior when bard should med

[General]
KissAssistVer=12.001
TwistOn=1
TwistMed=5

As far as I remember in the past, when bard was start medding with only 1 song declared at "TwistMed", he would twist it once and than sit down for med. As the bard has no need to "retwist" a song when only 1 song has to be sustained, he than would med until done.
New behavior I see regulary since I noticed it some days ago: while medding he keeps to stand up and retwist the one song, even ther's no need for it. My main problem is: if there is a player closeby knowing that's unneeded behavior, its very dubious to others.
Suggestion: when there is only 1 song declared for "TwistMed", go back to the former behavior and sing it only once at the start of the medding.

Are you getting a message like, "You have something outside of Kissassist standing you."?

 

[Silverspaceman]

I've noticed this same behavior with my bard as well.

 

[Dragonslayer]

never noticed a message like : "You have something outside of Kissassist standing you."?
Presume it should appear in the MQ's window.
Will keep an close eye next med-round of bard and report back.

 

[Dragonslayer]

seems worse than I thought ... I am confident than last time I've seen this "cannidance" he was casting the supposed chorus.
This time he was cannidancing the aa-selos whereas the spell on slot 11 is "Chorus of Xigam" in the ini andalso in game.
Addendum: he is chaincasting while medding ... not recasting when chorus (or Selos in this case) has run its time.

@Dragonslayer

Characters don't stop buffing when in the Med routine. They buff and return to the the med routine and the med routine sits them back down again. You need to add a condition to your buffs to keep them from casting when medding.

Use the variable Medding or Me.Sitting

Cond1=!${Medding}
Cond2=!${Me.Sitting}

I would use Cond1.

The other thing I would check is if your bard is casting buffs before the song/buff expires, you need to add a check for the song/buff using a condition or use the Dual tag.

 

[Dragonslayer]

"Buffs12=Selo's Sonata|dual|Selo's Accelerato|me" is the AA-buff he's chaincasting when medding .. using alread the Dual tag. Will check if the buffs name is really the right one when logging in next time

 

[ctaylor22]

This is what I have on my Bard and she doesn't keep chain casting.

Buffs3=Selo's Sonata|dual|Selo's Accelerando|me

 

[Sic]

"Buffs12=Selo's Sonata|dual|Selo's Accelerato|me" is the AA-buff he's chaincasting when medding .. using alread the Dual tag. Will check if the buffs name is really the right one when logging in next time

double check what selo's spell you have in your book - selo's accelerando or selo's accelerato --- Accelerato is purchased in Lceanium

 

[Dragonslayer]

Check 1 ... a view days ago, this bard got the aa-upgrade. So wrong name at the dual-tag.

double check what selo's spell you have in your book - selo's accelerando or selo's accelerato --- Accelerato is purchased in Lceanium

If I remember well, the level of the Selos AA defines, which of the selos in thr book is cast.

Fixed this in the ini and keeping an eye now, if this fixed the prob.
Will report back.

 

[Dragonslayer]

Problem was definetly the wrong tag "selo's accelerato" after dual, which didn't match anymore the level of the AA.
Bard is back to working as intended.

Conclusion: If your bard starts "cannidance" - like behavior while medding, check your buffs-section closely ... likely the problem can be found here.

Many thanks for the help.

I was having this problem with my level 80 bard (no AA casts/abilities). Just trying to use the song gem to continuously cast while medding.

The given sample code didn't seem to be working:
"Example: TwistMed=5 - Bard will sing the one song and sit."

So I tried a bunch of things but having this combo seems to work. I don't think the buffs are doing anything because its =0
So it must be the TwistOn=0 that stops the reset of singing while medding. (Also, be sure to have return to camp working)

(Edit: I learned that this info needs to go under the "General" section)
TwistOn=0
TwistMed=1
TwistWhat=1

[Buffs]
BuffsOn=0
BuffsSize=2
Buffs1=Chorus of Restoration
Buffs2=NULL
RebuffOn=0
CheckBuffsTimer=1

I also have my melee twist set to:

MeleeTwistOn=1
MeleeTwistWhat=2 3 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 1 2 3 1

(the extra numbers helps to skip #4, which for me casts an AE for lots of mana)
