After reading some responses I realize that I posted above about counting out your draft schematics from the datapad incorrectly. I wasn't really thinking about what happens when you use the different crafting tools, since I was using the weapon, driod and item tool at the time, and it can pull up all the schematics. Sorry if I mislead anyone, and thanks for pointing that out !

The only problem i am having with this macro is selecting the materials used to make the item. I cant see a way to select steel + fibreplast for example, without manually clicking on them. Am i doing something wrong or is this intended? The macro doesnt seem to select them for me.

There is no macro for selecting the resources. The3 second /pause should be enough time to dblclick the resources into the slots

ok so after all the poasts and such, what crafting macros are the correct ones to use? is what he has correct or is there something missing, sorry for the confusion and thanks a bunch for the help.

I'm a holo DE, but I want to have some fun with it too. I've been looking forward to doing DE for the better part of a week now and I finally got novice today. Started working on some MSE's but I don;t see an option for making floor models. How does one make floor models for these (or other droids for that matter)? I don't see this mentioned in the FAQ anywhere... or did I miss it??

The "floor models" you see are actually Adv. Droid Chasiss, which the MSE (along with DZ70s, WEDs, and R5s)doesn't have.

Thanks for the post, extremely useful :-)

After I click the resources in it ends the crafting session and I lose the resources.

I am also looseing my resources and it ends the session. Can you type out the macro in working condition on a post? I can fill in the location numbers on my own, thanks.

If it works like every other crafting profession, then the correct macro would be:

/ui action toolbarSlot01;

/selectDraftSchematic ##;

/pause ##;

/nextcraftingstage;

/nextcraftingstage;

/nextcraftingstage;

/createPrototype Practice no item;

/createPrototype Practice no item;

/pause ##;

/ui action toolbarSlot##

The last /ui action toolbarSlot will cause the macro to loop. Just place the macro in the F1 slot and put your crafting tools in F2-F12. As for the pauses and schematic numbers, you will need to experiment on those as each persons datapad may be a little different in terms of where schematics are located.

I have used this macro with a number of different crafting profession and it has worked like a charm. You can also use multiple crafting tools with this macro if you work the pauses out just right. To use multiple crafting tools, just copysteps 2 through 9 over and over in the macro for each crafting tool you will use and then just make the last command the /ui action toolbarSlot00, which is where the macro is placed.

Hope this helps a little.

If you can keep 11 crafting tools humming at the same time, please post your macro.. the complete macro!! lol.. because I've found I can only keep 4 tools going at the same time.. works out almost perfactly where 2 seconds after the 4th tool starts running the first is ready for me to start again. I don't see how anyone could do it any faster... 29 seconds per droid and it takes about 8-10 seconds to get through the crafting stage on each.... I just don't see how anyone could go any faster and keep all crafting tools working at full capacity. I must be slow in my old age! lOL

When it says "Crafting session ended", it's working as designed. You should check your xp, when your resources go away and your crafting tool starts counting down, you should be set.

If you are getting "Crafting session ended" and it's taking resources, and your tool is not counting, and you're not getting xp, you're getting critical failures. Try the first half of the macro, add your ingredients, then manually go through the rest to see if you get a successful craft.

This style macro does work, I used it to pound out Master DR and am looking forward (ok, that might be a stretch) to going up the DE tree as well.

I should add that sometimes when I move through the macro too fast, sometimes it says Crafting session ended and it didn't take any resources, this may just be specific to me though...
