Entertainer Archive

Yes yes i know you all HATE AFK entertainers but I generally go to a far off cantena somewhere and AFK macro. but the problem im having is the system is logging me off after two hours for being afk. What can I add in my macro that will prevent this? Again im sorry that I must do it, but I dropped Master Commando and CH for this crazy goose chase and I would just like a little help Thanks to all of you who post here in advance for all your help!

Does your macro continuously call itself?

yes its real simple its like

/flo 1 ;

/pause 8

/flo 2 ;

/pause 8

etcetcetc

/macro afk (Name of my macro)

I have no interest in ever getting a Jedi character (personally I think they should have left them OUT of the game entirely and I think I will be proven right no this). But I am actually curious about this holocron thing.

Do you have to Master Musician with your CURRENT PC, the one who has the holocron, or can you make up a different one and have him master music and then (I guess) become a Jedi?

I don't really care even, I guess, but I am just curious.

As for the macros, I don't think you can call them in-ilne, but I think ALIASES can call themselves. A forum search of the entertainer forum ought to reveal the relevant process and syntax.

Having sensed the force in you, SlickRipTide made sticky a post for a padawan such as yourself. He's got very helpful things in it that will get you started and on your way...

If you don't want to cut and paste, the post is stickied at the top of this board, "Entertainment for the aspiring Jedi", i think is the thread name.

Heh it still doesnt tell me what to add to my macro so the system wont log me out

Maybe because that the easy way, the fast way, the luring dark side of the force ?

Don't take it personally, I can feel your pain, I wouldn't want to have to master CH, but I wish they had another process of finding Jedi instead of looking which power player can cheat most effectivly. It's disgusting. It will just make me disrespect aJedi should I ever see one.

/macro afk

That won't do much.

Instead, drop your macro into a toolbar slot and use this (case-sensitive and spelling matters):

/ui action toolbarSlot00;

That assumes you've placed the macro into the F1 slot on the toolbar. Add +1 to the 00 for each slot you increase it (F2 = toolbarSlot01, F3 = toolbarSlot02, Shift+F1 = toolbarSlot12, etc.).

And to the anti-afk crowd, thanks in advance for the one-star.

I am not sure what is causing the original poster's problem. I know for a fact that clients can stay logged in for as long as the server is up. Are you sure you're not starting an AFK macro 2 hours before the system goes down for a reboot (the server system, that is)? Otherwise as far as I know there is no auto-logout feature in SWG.

Check your options and see if your auto-AFK is turned on or off. If it's on, turn it off and I think that will help your auto-logout problem. You can't stay on 24 hours, simply because the servers are rebooted pretty much every day at around 4am Pacific.

Sigrun's advice should take care of your problem. If you reference the jedi thread at the top of the forum, it contains a URL to a macroing thread that should answer most questions you'd have about the process.

To the person asking about using a different character - The path to force sensitivity is different for each character. The information given by a holocron is only of use to the character that used it.
