i have the macro that boots crafting tools up for u up and runing fine. but now that im farther advanced in my skills i now need a macro that can do the same as the normal grinding macro but also work when im standing infront of a crafting station

is there any way other then just going tho every schematic number to find out which schematic has what number ?

Sorry if there's a guide posted somewhere but I don't see a search feature and i've been looking through the forums but only run across bits and pieces.

Is there a guide somewhere that explains the macroing sytem in game? I've read posts where you can setup a hotkey to switch out weapons perform specials and switch back to another weapon etc. Or another example is making camps repeatedly etc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Well first you need to understand one rule when it comes to macros, that everything starts at 0. Once you understand that then you will understand everything after this.

Ok let's say you want to bind ctrl+g to equip your armor. You start by choosing a toolbar pane to put all your armor in the icon slots. Now toolbar pane 6 in macro terms would be toolbarPane05 remember capital letters are important in macro terms.So now you placed all your armor in the slots provided. Lets say you put the entire set, that is helmet chest leggings boots biceps bracers gloves. Thats 9 pieces of equipment. OK now you placed the armor in your toolbar, make sure your toolbar has two rows similar to this http://www.grifta.com/swg/screenShot0062.JPGnotice that i have two pane row's if you need to do this just drag the corners down. Now place the armor in the first 8 boxes and the gloves on top row's first box. If this is all done then we can start making the macro. ctrl+a new macro now choose an icon anything will do really and now this is what you need to type

/ui action toolbarPane05;/ui action toolbarSlot00;/ui action toolbarSlot01;/ui action toolbarSlot02;/ui action toolbarSlot03;/ui action toolbarSlot04;/ui action toolbarSlot12;/ui action toolbarSlot13;/ui action toolbarSlot14;/ui action toolbarSlot15

that is to equip all of the armor. now let's say you want to bring it back to pane 1 which in macro terms in toolbarPane00 just add this line to the end. remember to add the semi-colon ; after the 15.

/ui action toolbarPane00

Now to bind it to ctrl+g just go to options ctrl+o go to keymap, then go to custom and bind it to ctrl+g.

I personally have binds to equip a certain pistol and bring to my pistol pane, equip certain parts of armor, such as helmet only or chest, bracers etc.Can almost go a whole gaming sessions without opening my inventory

If you want to make a macro to equip your clothing just follow the same steps, except if you use the same pane it will use different slot numbers. I hope this helped if it doesnt just give me an email to [email protected] and I will give you in depth detail.

If anyone think's I should make my website www.grifta.com have a macro guide let me know here, I love learning these things and I am more then willing to help people situate themselves with quick ways to do things . Also it's a great asset to BH's all over since it's always good to have a quick binds for weapons. Given a scenario where your mark is melee and has just breached your circle ( i call that the 15m range around your character) you might be in trouble but not if you equip your carbine fast, have it switch to pane with all your carbine specials, and use /underhandshot or /fireknockdown mark is down and ready for a beating

So my second holocron told me to master Doctor last night. No problem, I enjoy helping people out and healing them so they can get back out to battle. It'll be fun to chat up people and hear their war stories. Plus it's a nice changes from my chosen profession of BH and my 1st holocron profession of Swordsman (So much killing and destruction! Those poor creatures on Dath never had a chance!)

The problem is going to be the 96k of Medicine Crafting Xp I'm gonna need. Has anyone else had to master Doc for their holo? If so did you happen to use a macro for the crafting end that you could share with me? Or is there a Master Doc who uses one to make their own medicines? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is a macro that I found helpful, yet there is no crafting macro that will let you go afk (that i know of) and still gain XP.

Setup 6 Food and chem crafting tools from left to right in the top bar using a separate panel. Have 21k Lok wheat and 21k Tat Fiber in your main inventory. Once you go through this macro you will notice the message "Crafting Station has ended". Don't worry about it this macro is automatically skipping the practice box after you load the resources but you still get the XP.Also I would recomend if you plan on hotkeying this Macro to put it in the Shift F12 button of the panel.

You can use this macro while you are running from point A to point B, during some downtime and even crafting stations or droids will not affect this macro as it skips the experimentation and practice screens.

One thing to keep in mind, I would not recommend copying and making this macro go on for longer than 6 crafting tools. One time I forgot I was overt and was using this script. I got jumped by some Imps and had to wait till the script ended before I could defend myself.

/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/selectDraftSchematic 0;
/pause 5;
/nextCraftingStage;
/nextCraftingStage;
/createPrototype practice no item;
/createPrototype practice no item;
/ui action toolbarSlot01;
/selectDraftSchematic 0;
/pause 5;
/nextCraftingStage;
/nextCraftingStage;
/createPrototype practice no item;
/createPrototype practice no item;
/ui action toolbarSlot02;
/selectDraftSchematic 0;
/pause 5;

WRONG. You can stop your craft macro at ANYTIME by simply typing /dump.

I have a great grinding Macro I got from a Saint (or soon to be one) in the Medic forum, but now I have a question...

in this macro I use the following sequence, after pausing to select resources:

/nextCraftingStage;

/nextCraftingStage;

/createPrototype practice no item;

/createPrototype practice no item;

How do I change this so I can start making some of these instead of just practicing?

i think you just need to remove the "practice no item" parts from both lines.

Tried that, didn't work... for some reason I have a feeling the two lines before that are not working right... oh well, I'll just grind with the ol' BEC and use the factories for actually creating things

When setting up a macro, how do i know the skematic number of what i am trying to make? Thanks forthe help.

the schematics are listed in order by number starting with 00, which is the first schematic for the tool that can make it. as long as you haven't reorganized them they should work out to be in order.
