hey! i am a new crafter and i found a macro that everybody seems go get to work expect me!
i got a few questions about it...
1) toolbar slot... how do i figgure this # out....
2) schmatic slot ... i know that when i look fer the schematic, i count from the left, starting at 0, but even when i do that, the tool grabs the wrong schematic... and when i try to adjust by adding or subtracting numbers, i still keep getting the wrong schematic...
3) when i get a part of the macro working, i dont get to the point where i can click on the actual ingredents...
or is there a fool ( me) proof grinding macro...
thanks bros!

I don't think there is any fool proof way of figuring out which schematic number each is. You could just start at 1 and work your way up until you find the correct schematic. Othewise, select a number, i.e. /selectD 50 then look at your UNSORTED (if you sort it the schematics will not appear as they are numbered) schematic list and see if the schematic you want comes after/before this one and then try another number until you find the correct number.
The problem is apparently caused by certain tools not counting certain schematics, and hence they aren't numbered as they appear in the lsit, when you're not near a crafting station or something.
If you get more schematics the numbers might change so you may need to alter your macro every time you get a new skill or npc schematic! Pain in the a$$.
I never could get the /nextCraftingStage command to work either. Maybe I was using it wrong... who knows.
Happy crafting.

Oh yeah, the toolbar slots are numbered
toolbarSlot00, toolbarSlot01, ... toolbarSlot11
toolbarSlot12, tollbarSlot13, ... toolbarSlot23
Generally, the macro should be something like
/ui action toolbarSlotX
/selectD #
That should get you to the selection stage.
If you're not in range of a crafting station hitting enter 3 times should complete the crafting session.
toolbarSlot00, toolbarSlot01, ... toolbarSlot11

Are you near a crafting station? Sometimes that screws up my macro. Also be sure to put away the droid. Post the whole macro so we can help more.

Ok, does your macro have "practice no item" for the createPrototype line? That makes it so you don't get an item (so you don't have to worry about deleting out of your inventory), but you do get a 5% xp bonus.
If you want the item to get created, leave that last part off.

You guys mind listing out a new macro for me to try maybe im just doing something wrong. If Im buy a hopper it says no acess to hopper. If Im not buy a hopper it says hopper out of range so soemthing in my macro is way wrong.

Well, the basic layout goes like this:
/ui action toolbarSlot##;
/selectDraftSchematic ##;
/pause 5;
/nextcraftingstage;
/nextcraftingstage;
/createprototype practice no item;
/createprototype practice no item;
/pause 1;
/selectDraftSchematic ##;
/pause 5;
/nextcraftingstage;
/nextcraftingstage;
/createprototype practice no item;
/createprototype practice no item;
/pause 1;
If you're next to a crafting station, you need a third /nextcraftingstage. If you want the item to go into your inventory, remove "practice no item".
The only time I've seen the "you cannot access hopper" message is when you next to someone's personal crafting station in a building where you do not have admin rights (which is required to use the hopper). That doesn't matter, you'll still be able to craft, but the macro will need that third /nextrcraftingstage.
The "hopper out of range" message comes up when you're in the same building as a private station, but not close enough to access the hopper. I'm not sure whether or not this puts you into range of the station's experimentation functionality (which is what the third /nextcrafting stage is advancing through). What happens if you're just out in the middle of nowhere, or at least outside a building, and not close to a public crafting station?

Ok now when i was grinding out CM crafting and doc crating this never happened but now when it get to the 3 and the 4 crafting tools it only gives me 1sec to load the steel and ore but only tools 1,2,5 it gives me to correct amount of time.
I have remade the macro 2 times made all new crating tools this is getting old really fast and is slowing down my crafting.

I tried splitting teh macro into two and nothing happens... any help would be GREAT
I ran into this as well. I just kept to leaving it in my /notepad.
I've submitted bugs/reports... no response. The Smuggler ignore is in full effect.

glad to see I'm not the only one, maybe a solution is known somewhere in the community

I have this problem as well and find it really annoying considering I do faction sales quite frequently. Whats worse is that even if I fix it (say in Coronet), but then catch a shuttle to my faction delegation location (say Theed), it reverts back to showing just the first line of the macro and has to be fixed once more.
An odd thing i've noticed with regards to this problem is that it only crops up on the PC I am using at the moment. For a while I was using our other PC and never had this problem. It could be that the macro is not being saved properly evertime we exit the game or something.
