can someone please just do it in a very comprehensive easy to understand manner? Okay, my question is, do I type out my macro in notepad or word or something and then save it to my swg folder on my C drive first and then call it up in game somehow? and if so, how do I know how much to pause based on my action bar and stamina and all that?

Just do it simply and thoroughly please, thanks.

Oh come on, don't let this go down the page unanswered. Please, someone help me. This is what I have so far, I've saved it to my Star Wars Galaxies folder on the C drive.

mac0001:/sample;/pause 400;/sit;/pause 200;/mac0002
mac0002:/stand;/sample;/pause400;/sit;/pause 200;/mac0003
mac0003:/stand;/sample;/pause400;/sit;/pause 200;/mac0004
mac0004:/stand;/sample;/pause400;/sit;/pause 200;/mac0005
mac0005:/stand;/sample;/pause400;/sit;/pause 200;/mac0006
mac0006:/stand;/sample;/pause400;/sit;/pause 200;/mac0007
mac0007:/stand;/sample;/pause400;/sit;/pause 200;/mac0008
mac0008:/stand;/sample;/pause400;/sit;/pause 200;/mac0009
mac0009:/stand;/sample;/pause400;/sit;/pause 200;

Now, to access it in game, do I type /load sampling.txt? Because that's what I saved it as, Sampling.txt.

I'm not even playing this evening because it's so fricking laggy even on high speed dsl.

What you need to do is locate where the game saved a file called alias.txt you can open this file up with word or notepad ro edit your macro, then save it do not rename it then when in game type /load and then /mac0001 or what ever you set your first alias to, to start the macro

but I did do a search for alias.txt and found none. and even if I do, don't I type /load mac0001 and not /load and then /mac0001? see, this is what I mean, getting conflicting information.

Ok, here's what I did. I saved that file as sampling.txt in my swg folder. Then in game I typed in the macro, /load sampling.txt, which worked, and then /mac0001... but then all it did was have my guy sit down and say outloud "400". Can someone PLEASE give me the CORRECT sampling macro so I don't have to go freakingcrazy? Thank you.

Well, based on the contents of your second post, you need to add a space between "pause" and "400" in lines 2-end.

Here it is, all in one place.

There is no alias.txt by default. You must create it, and it can be called anything you want actually. I call mine sample.txt and sample1.txt (that's right, you can have more than one).

The format of the file is as follows:

Command: /stufftodo;/morestufftodo;

NextCommand: /stufftodo;

Notice the space between the colon and the actual game commands. That is very important. The space tells the /load command where the alias ends and the actual commands begin.

To use these files, in-game, type

/load filename

For me, this is /load sample.txt

You will get a message that says "Aliases loaded from sample.txt" or something like that. Or you will get an error if something is not right, like the file is missing or misspelled.

One thing to note, an alias can not infinitely recurse, because of a fix put into the game. So the following will not work:

Sample1: /sample;/pause 200;/Sample2;

Sample2: /sample;/pause 200;/Sample1;

This will not work, no matter how many commands you put between these two. So to get this working they way you want, you will need to do something like this:

Sample1: /sample;/pause xxx;/Sample2;

sample2: /sample;/pause xxx;/Sample3;

Sample3: .......

And so on. What I like to do is to give each line 1 hour of pauses, that way I can easily build a file to a certain number of hours.

This has worked pretty well for me. Of course you always run a risk of being attacked while afk

Hope this helps

cadetumfer, I did put a space inthere after I wrote that and then tried it, it still didn't work.

renzer, I can load the file just fine but it doesn't do it right when I execute it. The main difference between my macro and yours is that you put a ; at the end of each string where I don't. Maybe that's the problem.
