also make sure the last /pause is /pause, not /pasue

=P

caopy pasted it from the frist mispelling DOH!!! dang sorry about that. Hopefully people know about the /Pause command and get past that I would feel bad if they copied in and it bombed over that haha

im dumb brother, please break it further down for me bud? thanks

I use a set of macros very similar to this, maybe a little more complex, but I like 'em (must be the programmer in me). I use 7 macros to control 5 crafting tools and normally takes me about an hour to get 80000 xp resources permitting:

Craft1:
/ui action toolbarSlot00; -- crafting tool 1.
/selectDraftSchematic 36; -- my Micro Nutrients you will likely change this.

Craft2-5: -- Same as above only change 00 to 01, 02, 03, 04

FinishCraft:
/nextCraftingStage;
/nextCraftingStage;
/createPrototype practice no item;
/createPrototype practice no item;
/createPrototype practice no item; --Third one allows for use while near a crafting stat.

CraftBase:
/ui action toolbarSlot06; -- pos of Craft1
/pause 4; -- allow for ingredient selection, adjust to your liking
/ui action toolbarSlot05; -- This is pos of FinishCraft
/pause 2; -- short wait before next run
/ui action toolbarSlot07; -- pos of Craft2
/pause 4;
/ui action toolbarSlot05; -- again FinishCraft
/pause 2;
.... -- Keep on repeating until you get to craft5
/ui action toolbarSlot22 -- This is pos of CraftBase

** recommendation: Tie CraftBase to a hot key somewhere
** some notes on the above:
1)It will run indefinately without your intervention. To stop it simply move CraftBase out of its assigned slot (#22 in mine)
2)Each run through nets 550 xp (assuming all successes) in ~30 sec.
3)I often run this macro while running from place to place, but keep it in slot 23 instead of 22 so i have more control over how much I'm making and the avoid crafting problems while fighting
4)It has a couple of drawbacks, one it forces 5 crafting runs(can be annoying if run out of resources, or are trying to maintain a conversation), and two it is vulneralbe to lag.
5)Very flexible macros so you can do any number of runs with little effort.

Some other macros I use:

HarvestMeat, HarvestHide, HarvestBone: -- pick em clean and move on
/harvest [meat/hide/bone]; -- use only one of harvest meat/hide/bone
/loot all; -- get anything off the critter also good for NPC mobs
/ui action cycleTargetOutward; -- get your next mob

TargetClosest:
/ui action targetSelf; -- target yourself, same effect as Ctrl+1
/ui action cycleTargetOutward; -- now you've got the mob closest to you. Most Impressive

Thats all for now. sorry about hijacking the thread

Yea i just started Doctor and I dont understand all this talk about macros ( sorry if i sound like a noob).

Here isamacro I use that seems tobe working great!I use onemacro and hit the button and just let it ride! use as many tools as you like.

stick the macro on F1

/ui action toolbarSlot 12 (first toolbar slot second row)
/selectDraftSchematic ## (the number of the schematic in you datapad, youll need to experiment with this #)
/Pause 3 (At this point the tool is open and waiting for you to doubleclick your resources into it HURRY)
/nextCraftingStage
/nextCraftingStage
/createPrototype practice no item
/createPrototype practice no item
/Pasue 2 (pauses for a couple seconds before the next tool opens)

/ui action toolbarSlot 13 (second toolbar slot second row)
/selectDraftSchematic ## (the number of the schematic in you datapad, youll need to experiment with this #)
/Pause 3 (At this point the tool is open and waiting for you to doubleclick your resources into it HURRY)
/nextCraftingStage
/nextCraftingStage
/createPrototype practice no item
/createPrototype practice no item
/Pasue 2 (pauses for a couple seconds before the next tool opens)

/ui action toolbarSlot 14 (third toolbar slot second row)
/selectDraftSchematic ## (the number of the schematic in you datapad, youll need to experiment with this #)
/Pause 3 (At this point the tool is open and waiting for you to doubleclick your resources into it HURRY)
/nextCraftingStage
/nextCraftingStage
/createPrototype practice no item
/createPrototype practice no item
/Pasue 2 (pauses for a couple seconds before the next tool opens) ect ect ect

Just repeat this for however many toolbars you are going to use. Thenclick the macro button and place you mouse in one spot and wait for the tool to pop open, QUICKLY double click the resrouces in time for the rest of the macro to complete. If it is to fast or lag is an issue with you, just increase the timers as needed.

This IS CASE SENSATIVE, Pay close attention to where there are spaces and where there are no spaces.
** Note on macros, some people use semicolons, and I think although you used to have to use them, that is no longer the case. None of my macros require them to work properly.

Hope this helps

You misspelled "pause" several times. Is that intentional or an accident?

**edit** NEWBS! hehe nah man jokin

what we want to do is:

1. make skill as fast as we can
2. to do this youll want to use several crafting tools, and those will want to be in toolbars.
3. now manually usually you would just click the toolbar and continue on from there like normal.
4. pick a schematic (the item in the list when your tool opens)
5. add resources
6. and complete the assembly by click other buttons in the interface.

Now to grind xp you would just keep repeating this over and over untill you had severe pain in your wrist !!!

What this macro does is it takes all of those actions and automates them. I will go into this step by step and explain it action

1. /ui action toolbarSlotXX
- This command refers to the toolbar slot your tool is in. It in essence "clicks" that toolbar button.
- One thing to remember is hotbar slot 1 is actually 00, slot 2 is 01, slot 3 is 02 (basically minus 1 off of the toolbars actual position)

2. /selectDraftSchematic XX
- Note the space between "DraftSchematic XX" it is very important or this command will not work
- This command refers to the number of the draft schematic number in your datapad in the game. This number will not be the same for all people because it can change depending on your professions. If your a straight doctor and can not craft anything else.. thats all that will be listed in the datapad. If your an artisan also ALL artisan schems are in there too. Needless to say the numbering will change depending on that, and youll have to experiment a little bit to find the number of the schematic you want. For example Advanced Bio Effect Controllers are number 17 in my list.
- Basically this command simulates you double clicking the item you want to build in the tool.

3. /Pause X
- X = the number of seconds you want the macro to sit and wait before moving on
- This is here because in this point in time the macro clicked the hotbar to fire the crafting tool, picked a schematic and is now sitting on the screen where you have to add the resources. This time is whatever you feel good using. I use 2 seconds to get my resorouces in there, but you can make it 3 - 4 .. ect ect for whatever suits you.

4. /nextCraftingStage
- this simply simulates the user clicking the enter button to advance to the next screen.

5. /nextCraftingStage
- this does the same thing because there is another screen that pops up, so this simulates you clicking enter agian.

6. /createPrototype practice no item
- This is similar to the 2 commands above, it advances you to the next screen and tells the game you are using practice mode.

7. /createPrototype practice no item
-This does it agian (unsure why- but it works so use it hehe )

8. /Pause X
- This is a pause to make sure the above process is finshed before the macro continues on.
- At this point you are all done making one item.

The next step would be to do this agian using the next tool in the next hotbar. ALL of the script above will remain the same except the first line.

/ui action toolbarSlotXX would be the next crafting tool youll be using. SO if its the tool in slot 10, XX = 09 ( one less than the slot position)
/selectDraftSchematic XX
/Pause X
/nextCraftingStage
/nextCraftingStage
/createPrototype practice no item
/createPrototype practice no item
/Pause X

/ui action toolbarSlotXX
/selectDraftSchematic XX
/Pause X
/nextCraftingStage
/nextCraftingStage
/createPrototype practice no item
/createPrototype practice no item
/Pause X

ect ect ect...

NOTE*** you will only be able to use this with 6 tools at once because youll run out of space to type in your macro.

Also agian pay close attention to my syntax. Its all Case sensative and make sure spaces are there if they need to be, and places that dont have space dont have them.

Hope this was a bit more helpful

I just though of something, it might be over the edge but hey... just in case.

you write these macros in the commands screen in the game. Once you open it there are tabs at the top of the form called Combat - Social - Moods - Macros - Other.

pop that open and click new macro, name it, pick an icon for it, then type all that mess I showed you in the window it provides.

Once the macro is created drag the icon to a hotbar for you F-keys, so when you click F1 for example it will fire the macro.

So I've typedthe code in exactly for the first crafting device. I'll just loop it for the 8 tools I have as either a whole block of 8 or 2 sets of 4. This is the code.

/ui action toolbarslot11;
/pause 1;
/selectDraftSchematic 78; (Advanced Frame Unit)
/pause 4;
/nextCraftingStage;
/nextCraftingStage;
/createPrototype practice no item;
/createPrototype practice no item;
/pause 2;

I can get into the crafting station and click on the resources but thenn all I get is a 'crafting session ended!' message twice. I cannot get the /nextCraftingStage command to work. I used a longer pause and advanced them manually but then was unable to get the /createPrototype Practice no item command to work

Any ideas?

TIA

Roldar

very cool macro man i applaud u my **edit** wrist started to hurt bad after just 1 hour of **edit**ing double clicking this and that! I am having problems with it not doing the /nextCraftingStage part. It just sits there after i click on my resources any suggestions? thanks again

gogo-girl

rodian forge i had the same problem. And after some frustrating hours or trying to get it to work i fixed it Put spaces in between the words next crafting stage so it look like this:

/next Crafting Stage

/next Crafting Stage

hope this helps
