1) do you have crafting tools in your hotbar?


2) have you ended every line with a " ; "


3) have you began ever line with a " / "



the problem is in your hotbar, or your script.

No, he is saying exactly the contrary:
If you do not use a / at the beginning and a ; at the end, then the macro wont work

Howdy all,


Great thread, first of all... Hopefully I can get my problem answered here...


I can't get the /nextC; command to work. It just sticks on the same screen. I've also tried typing the whole thing out and using different permutations of it. Any idea what could be going on here?


Thanks!

Just a little more info.... I just tried going into a nice, low-populated place on Dantooine with no success.


Also, it uses up my resources, and I get the msg "The crafting session has ended!".


Hope this helps a little. Thanks...

Nevermind... Looks like it started working... I dunno what happened. It may have helped that I ran the whole macro instead of testing it by hand line-by-line. It might have been that it was working all along, but the msg I got made me thing it didn't. Anyways, DE, here I come!

I am new to the DE tree, and am a little upset. I looked at the other crafting trees and noticed that the diversity of items that could be produced was grossly smaller on DE than on any other tree. This is, after all, a professional tree. Novice Artisans can make more items that are more useful than a Novice DE. Why is that? Why should I have to grind three hundred mouse droids to get to a second teir box? MSE droids don't sell, and they don't do much. It is kinda pointless to build three hundred of them. If the devs wanted a tree or a game where players wouldn't purely grind (as other forum boards complain about), then why on earth would the DE tree be set up like this? All of the other novice DE items are practically the same - they give little to no xp, and have very little value. Several of the items even require parts that a Master Artisan is required to make (and there are items in their box that require a DE).....again, does this make any sense to anyone? Droids are not that strong now, and won't be getting much stronger with Droid Invasion. I have no reason to mass grind MSE droids, only to have to turn around and mass destroy them. I used the holo thinking that it might add a direction to my game play. I'm spread out on my skills, and i have no real focus. Then the holo said DE. So i get novice DE, and it is a grind tree. I hate the idea. I know others who do. WHY? If anyone can please show me the logic behind having interlocking (yet not) trees, and a required worthless grind, i would probably bow down before them....i just don't think anyone's capable of it.


If anyone wants to buy an MSE droid, by the by, please send Ipino a tell (Wanderhome)...i have a great selection and unbeatably low prices......


who knows, i could pay u to take them.....

Uhm have you noticed the little box in the last crafting step that said [ ] Practice Mode? Gives more XP and no Mouse Droid to get rod off...


Generally i do agree that the grind is a bad thing. It's a shame that anything below MDE isn't wort a thing because droid sales are low anyways and when someone wants one it has to be a top of the line Droid with lvl6 modules.


Oh and if i would be in a bad mood i'd say as a hologrinder you deserve nothing better... Hope you learn to appreciate the business of Droid Engineering nonetheless.

I haven't the time nor the patience to read through all 5 pages of posts to see if this particular observation has been noted, so I apologize in advance if I'm repeating/restating the obvious.


Every time you acquire a new skill box you get additional schematics added to your datapad, and yes at first these schematics simply 'stack', or are added to the bottom of the list.


THE NEXT TIME YOU LOG IN, however, the datapad may rearrange those schematics somewhat. Actually 'may' should be 'WILL', so be prepared to re-locate your grinding schematic of choice each time you log in. Doesn't take a lot of extra time, maybe 5 minutes, but it will be necessary if you want to grind the entire prof with one particular schematic like MSE's.



Whomever I may or may not have killed isn't important. It's how I treat the living that really matters.

In the end, there can be only one.
