Thread: Spiffy song-board style utility macro

Here's a simple macro that you can put in the bottom right slot of an empty toolbar set. All it does is press each toolbar slot in sequence with a 4 second delay between each one.


What I've been doing with it, is dropping different Flourish icons in the slots to set up song like sequences. It's easy to change between cycles, you just remove the flourish icon you don't like and put another one in. If you want a non-flourish period, leave a toolbar slot blank.


I suppose you could get fancy with it and increase the delay and put other macroed flourish sequences in the slots to put on a complete show if you wanted. :-)


/ui action toolbarSlot00;/pause 4;
/ui action toolbarSlot01;/pause 4;
/ui action toolbarSlot02;/pause 4;
/ui action toolbarSlot03;/pause 4;
/ui action toolbarSlot04;/pause 4;
/ui action toolbarSlot05;/pause 4;
/ui action toolbarSlot06;/pause 4;
/ui action toolbarSlot07;/pause 4;
/ui action toolbarSlot08;/pause 4;
/ui action toolbarSlot09;/pause 4;
/ui action toolbarSlot10;/pause 4;
/ui action toolbarSlot11;/pause 4;
/ui action toolbarSlot12;/pause 4;
/ui action toolbarSlot13;/pause 4;
/ui action toolbarSlot14;/pause 4;
/ui action toolbarSlot15;/pause 4;
/ui action toolbarSlot16;/pause 4;
/ui action toolbarSlot17;/pause 4;
/ui action toolbarSlot18;/pause 4;
/ui action toolbarSlot19;/pause 4;
/ui action toolbarSlot20;/pause 4;
/ui action toolbarSlot21;/pause 4;
/ui action toolbarSlot22;/pause 4;


Note that it does not auto-repeat, as posting that would be a EULA violation. :-)

Argh what's the violation? You just add one more /ui action toolbarSlotXX and then put the whole macro in that slot. Did nothing different than what you are already doing with the macro yet it repeats to infinity, or until you remove the icon from that slot.

It's against the EULA to "use or distribute macros or other programs that would allow unnattended game play" - which would include posting them on this board. :-)


I wouldn't imagine they would get pissy about it unless you used it to stay online AFK macroing for huge amounts of time - but whether you are at the keyboard or just ignoring everyone is difficult to prove. Proving that you are using a looping macro however, is not difficult - thus it is the language used in the EULA, along with the statement about "putting an inappropriate load on thier infrastructure (as determined by them)" which covers just being connect to the servers 24/7 doing nothing at all.


It's a perfectly understandable rule from a business standpoint, the longer you are connected to the servers the more SOE pays in bandwidth charges - the more people that get "offended" by you being AFK the more trivial & whiny CSR tickets that get generated and have to be dealt with by the CSRs - taking time away from more important customer service issues which costs them in money and Customer Satisfaction.
