In the quest for Force-sensitive crafting exp, I resigned myself to grinding out frames again. The grinding macro:
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/selectDraftSchematic 169;
/pause 3;
/nextCraftingStage;
/nextCraftingStage;
/createPrototype Practice noitem;
/createPrototype Practice noitem;
/pause 5;
/selectDraftSchematic 169;
/pause 3;
/nextCraftingStage;
/nextCraftingStage;
/createPrototype Practice noitem;
/createPrototype Practice noitem;
/pause 5;
...no longer works. When it hits the first /nextcraftingstage, it ends. Was this part of the recursive macro changes? It works up to that point.

All of my macros still work. I recommend that you go back. Look and make sure that you have no spelling or capitalization errors.

Add the item in yellow and you should be okay.

I dunno, maybe it's just me...but if you've been a DE for a long time and really just want the quick experience I'd think the BLL grind would be more suited for this kind of thing.

That's a paste of what my macro is... I did try adding the third nextcrafting stage; no good. It aborts as soon as it does the first nextcrafting stag; where it would say success or failure...
EDIT: Slightly ominous note... I had four grinding macros still in one of my toolbars from when I finished DE. I had to recreate them because they were empty except for the ui action line.

Were you / are you near a crafting station of any kind? If so, store the droid or move away from the PCS.
I used the exact macro above just within the last few days and it seemed fine.

This has been the case for some time. If you travel, leave a zone, relog, etc., your macro isn't saved. You'll need to copy/paste it as needed.

Yea for some reason when you copy and paste from somewhere else, it will erase. If you type it in by hand though it wont. Mine works fine.
BLL are a faster grind, you do use far more resources though to save you some time.

Lol, that is what I mean. If you copy and paste it, it will then erase later. You need to keep copying and pasting it again every so often right? If you type it out by hand, you wont need to do that ever again.

You do have to re-copy/paste but I've seen that it's dependent upon the size of the macro.
This will be getting a 'pass', I'm sure, once the recursive macro change hits.

I have mine set up like this.
/ui action toolbarSlot##;
/sel ##;
/pause #;
/next;
/next;
/next;(third is only needed if by a crafting station)
/createPrototype practice no item;
/createPrototype practice no item;
/pause #;
Copy this exactly and it will work. Just substitute whatever numbers you need in place of the #'s.

I have the same problem asMightion, I have tryied all the stuff posted in this thread and still don't work. I am master DE and I used that macros for grinding some months ago, but this time it don't work at all. The macro fails when it arrives at nextcraftingstage phase...
A friend of mine that is master smuggler also tryied it and don't work.
