thx man.

nope

Not unless you use apparently some sort of "external Mouse" program, apparently there a programs that move the mouse for you on apartern that you record... but i have not used nor seen one... so i dunno

is there any crafting macro's out there?

Here ya go:

This set of macros (5 of them) is designed for 4 tools. You can easily change it to whatever number of tools you prefer. For this example, we will say that the 4 tools are in toolbar slots F9, F10, F11, F12. The macros for each individual tool are in toolbar slots F5, F6, F7, F8. And, the main macro that starts it all is in slot F1.
You can arrange them however you like, and I will highlight in the script what would need to be changed for your configuration.

F1 script:

/ui action toolbarSlot04;
/pause 6;
/ui action toolbarSlot05;
/pause 6;
/ui action toolbarSlot06;
/pause 6;
/ui action toolbarSlot07;

This script will run the other 4 scripts setup on keys F5 to F8. Those toolbarslots are refered to as toolbarSlot04 through toolbarSlot07. The bottom row of your toolbar is refered to as toolbarSlot12 through toolbarSlot21. If you plan to use more than 4 tools, or have the macros for each tool in a different slot, those are what you would need to change in the above.
The pause for 6 seconds is what I found to be an appropriate choice on my system. I suggest creating the script with say an 8-10 second pause at first and lower it to whatever is best for your connection/system. It is the total time between the start of one tool and the start of the next tool. If the delay is too short, you will be the 'you are already crafting' error.
This script calls the other 4 scripts, setup for each of the 4 tools. And here is one of those:

F5 script:

/ui action toolbarSlot08;
/selectDraftSchematic 71;
/pause 3
/nextCraftingStage;
/nextCraftingStage;
/nextCraftingStage;
/createPrototype practice no item;
/createPrototype practice no item;

The first line in this script will start the tool in toolbar slot F9. This is what you change in each of the scripts you place in slots F5 to F8 for each tool F9 to F12. The second line determines what you want to make. 71 is rifle barrels for 90xp each. I think that by concensus, that is the best thing to grind. It only requires steel, and can be made in one step.
The pause for 3 seconds is enough time for me to double click steel twice to load the resources. That is the only thing you have to do manualy, other than hitting F1 to start the process. You may want to start with a pause of 5 seconds and lower it to a value appropriate to your system/connection.
The next three lines advance through the crafting stages, and the last 2 select practice mode so as not to fill you backpack. This macro will work if you are next to a crafting station and if you are not. The extra "/nextCraftingStage; and /createPrototype practice no item; " lines will be ignored when you are not near a crafting station, and will skip past the extra experimenting screen when you are.

So, in summary, you need the 1st macro listed above to launch the other 4 macros. The other 4 each individualy launch a crafting tool.
To use it, simply click the 1st macro (or press F1), then move your cursor into position where your steel will be for insertion into the schematic. When the macro pauses, double click twice. The crafting session ends immediately, and the next tool starts up and you simply keep your mouse in place and doulbe click twice the next time it pause. And again for each tool.
That's it!

Now, some extra info.
-This works just fine if you crit fail. It simply goes onto the next tool.
-You go through your crafting once manualy each time you login before using this macro. As you know, the initial bootup of the tool, and the insertion of the resources is slow the 1st time you craft after login. Those delays will overlap the crafting and you will have to cancel a bunch of error messages.
-If the "loading..." message is still displayed after you doulbe click the resource to go into the schematic when the pause ends, you will get an error message that you have to clear or the next crafting session will fail also. If you do not double click the resources right away, just do nothing. That session will end without doing anything, and that is better than clicking late and having the session stall at the error message just mentioned.

Well, I hope someone finds this helpfull, and credit goes to Skcusawn on the O boards for posting something that I based this on.

ive been reading the forums and ppl always talk about a crafting macro where can i get it cuz med crafting sucks.

Does Anyone know what the / command is to use the practice mode in crafting

example /createprototype?

I have tried /createprototype practice and all my Food and chemical tools are set to practice when i do it manually.

heres a sample of my macro

/ui action toolbarSlot01

/selectdraftschematic 00

/pause 5

/nextcraftingstage

/nextcraftingstage

/createprototype

/createprototype

/pause 5

/ui actiontoolbarSlot02

etc.....

Yup, think the command is osmethinglike this:

/createprototype practice no item;

Give that a whirl...

/createp practice no item;

That works =)

was wondering how to set up a crafting macro to grind crafting xp with ABEC's so i don't have to go through doing it all manually like i did on my character on scylla.

Any help is appreciated

If you want to grind through med crafting here is how. Doing this I went from intermediate Cm crafting to Master in2.5 hours.

Expand your toolbar into two rows. Know that the top left slot on the tool bar is slot 00. So the top of the bar has slots 00-11 and the bottom, starting at the left is 12-24

Make 2 macros.

Macro 1 is simply this:

/nextcraftingstage;
/nextcraftingstage;
/nextcraftingstage;
/createprototype practice no item;
/createprototype practice no item;

Put this is slot 00 on your toolbar

Macro 2 is long. You wil lneed to find the draft schematic number. For me, Master Doc, no artisian skills the ABEC was #17.

/ui action toolbarSlot12;
/selectDraftSchematic 17;
/pause 4;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/pause 2;
/ui action toolbarSlot13;
/selectDraftSchematic 17;
/pause 4;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/pause 2;
/ui action toolbarSlot14;
/selectDraftSchematic 17;
/pause 4;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/pause 2;
/ui action toolbarSlot15;
/selectDraftSchematic 17;
/pause 4;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/pause 2;
/ui action toolbarSlot16;
/selectDraftSchematic 17;
/pause 4;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/pause 2;
/ui action toolbarSlot17;
/selectDraftSchematic 17;
/pause 4;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/pause 2;
/ui action toolbarSlot18;
/selectDraftSchematic 17;
/pause 4;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/pause 2;
/ui action toolbarSlot19;
/selectDraftSchematic 17;
/pause 4;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/pause 2;
/ui action toolbarSlot20;
/selectDraftSchematic 17;
/pause 4;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/pause 2;
/ui action toolbarSlot21;
/selectDraftSchematic 17;
/pause 4;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/pause 2;
/ui action toolbarSlot01;

Place this macro in slot 01. Now get yourself ten crafting tools. Put them in slot 12-22. Now you are ready to rock. The real trick here is the first macro. Running that macro will process the item and close the crafting session...with no delays -it is instant. I burned through roughly 9k of lok wheat and tat fibro in 2.5 hours. Macor 1 deals with crit failures as well...you will not even notice them.

So all you need to do to start the macro is hit slot 01. You will then have 4 seconds to load your resources. I recommend turning your left mouse button into a double click for the macro session - it was a life saver.

When you want to stop the macro just type /dump. Good luck!

Darkspring I tried using your macro, but for some reason after thesecond crafting unit is done I get the message "You are already Crafting". It finishes number 3 then skips crafting unit 4 and starts 5. Can you only have 3 crafting units crafting at one time?

hiya all, im currently grinding armorsmith, now at the mo im making armor upgrade kits as they require little resources and give ok xp.....but rather than slogging it out manually is the any way i can make a macro to grind for me??
