I don't know if it is within the power of the correspondant, but if you could get an answer from the devs as to whether or not they will be taking out this command, I know that I would sleep better as a craftsman.

Believe me, we are trying!

As soon as I know something, you all will know something.

I've not seen any details as to how they intend to stop looping macros.

Take care,
Guru

Thanks for the info. I figured you were trying - just nice to have the reassurance of reading it.

Hehe, I hear ya.

I don't think that there is a Corre on the Corre forum that hasn't expressed, um, considerable curiousity as to the mechanism the devs will use to block looping macros.

I remain Guru and I wait with bated breath...

I would have to assume that yes is the answer.. I think they will be taking out the "/ui action toolbarSlot" command because that is essential to looping a macro.

Again, the effect upon the crafter grind may not have been something that they anticipated at their meeting.

"What will add more to the game itself?"

"Well AFK people are upsetting the players that are there:

"How do we stop that?"

"Stop them from using never-ending macroes"

"Okey, cut the /macro and the /ui action toolbarSlot command and it's covered"

That may be the gist of the convesation. Now that there has been enough 'uproar' about it, they may have to begin thinking about a different approach. The fact that there have been obvious foresight in even their most recent releases "Okey my overt guildies, line up so I can farm FRS points from you" does not put this oversight into the absurb.

Losing this is not going to be a bigdeal for crafters. It just means that you have to hita F key at the end of each macro when you are grinding.

A minor inconvienence IMHO.

I dont use anyrecursive macros in crafting... I only use them for one thing, and that is shuttle waits.. Mine is pretty simple.

/ui action toolbarSlot23

/pause 10

/ui action toolbarSlot22

Now I guess I have to start waiting in front of my pc at shuttle ports again..lol

Again, I do not think people are grasping what is needed in a crafting macro. With the removal of the action command, the QUICKEST way I can see to grind crafting is as follows:

Hit F Key to activate the crafting tool

Double click on schematic (or click on next)

Input the incredients

Hit F Key to macro to finish up.

Hit different F key to activate a second crafting tool

Repeat

THERE IS NO CONTINUOUS MACRO for crafters if they cannot access the crafting tool via a macro command - whichis /ui action toolbarSlot. The macro currently starts, opens to the window when you input the ingredients and then finishes. All we had to do is click on the ingredients. I would be ESTATIC if the change means all we had to do was hit the F key after each crafting macro is done.

I never use it for looping, just initiating a macro..

You can loop a macro, or call another one with:

/macro macroname;

in your macro.

What I take umbridge with is the comment about making "pretty long macros"... after a certain point, a point that is NOT clearly defined or announced macros wont save correctly past a log or shuttle trip... it truncates the text. There is NO notice during creation of the macro that you are exceeding this limit.

Last night I just found out that there is a limit to the length of the Notepad too, which is annoying and lost me a good chunk of notes about customers of mine.

I'll check my macro when i get home from work but i'm pretty sure it can be done. You would need to open up the crafting tool manually as you noted. Hit your new macro to warp you to the resource selection screen.Drop in your resources. Then let it close out.

Repeat.

And you are right it would not be continuous. It will still be much easier then manually clicking every single thing.

Luckily there were some good ideas in the In Development thread like putting the practice mode button on the front page and having it act like a macro.
