In addition to all the nice find commands.... use the below to clear the last find command.

/find clear

This is much easier than deleting them from your datapad.




I love you
Thanks for the great tip!

It stopped working a while ago. If it was put back in, no one told me!

It still works - they just made it so you can't do it from out of range anymore. For instance, in the mini-spaceport planets (Lok, Endor, Dant, Dath, Yavin, as well as the Rori Rebel Outpost) you used to be able to go inside, use the Ticket Terminal, buy a ticket, then without moving, type /bo tr to board the shuttle. Now, you have to be outside and in range of the Ticket Taker.


Here's what I do:I created a command that looks like this:


/alias slc /purchaseticket lok Nym's_Stronghold lok Star_League_City single


and


/alias nym /purchaseticket lok Star_League_City lok Nym's_Stronghold single


After typing these, I can use /slc to buy a ticket that goes from Nym's Stronghold to my guilds player city on Lok, while /nym buys the ticket going the other way. See previous Tuesday Tips to get the syntax of the above command.



Also, I recommend creating a macro that has only "/bo tr" in it. In the Control-O, Controls, Keymap window, there is an option for "Custom" which contains a list of all of your created macros. Bind your "/bo tr" macro to Control-B, and bingo, boarding a shuttle you have a ticket for is a simple two keystrokes.


Thanks!

Mouse inertia is a setting that controls the way your camera moves.


When you set it to a setting between 3-4, it makes the controls nice and tight.






Ooh I see, thanks for the clarification. I can see how thats useful

Thanks for the tip about binding macros...forgot about and how to do it The 24 F-key hotkey slots just aren't enough.

/find is very usefull, i use it every day and now after i read about /find clear i found it
even more handy. /who could be very usefull too, but i can't get it working properly. I usually get
no result when adding a regular expression or a profession name.


Ok, here is my tuesday tip:

/ui action clearCombatQueue - i use it for almost all commands in combat. I usually have an attack spamming
macro on.



If its time to heal me or a group member:

Macro: healdamage


/ui action clearCombatQueue;

/healda;


If its time to heal my pet - Ok, here it is not needed, as petstims don't go into the combat queue

Macro: healpet


/tar (Songoku);

/pause 0.1;
/ui action clearCombatQueue;

/ui action toolBarSlot07;



Healing states (You will only heal one state per click, so make sure you put the most important to the top)

Macro: healstate


/ui action clearCombatQueue;

/healPoison;

/healDisease;

/distinguishFire;

/healstate intimidate;

/healstate dizzy;

/healstate stun;

etc.



I also have one for each of my weapon, so i can change quick in combat

Macro: equipF23


/ui action clearCombatQueue;

/ui action toolBarSlot22;



And of cause for the good ole COB loop - lag sometimes causes a delay, so i put the command twice

Macro: cob


/ui action clearCombatQueue;

/centerofbeeing

/pause 1.5;

/ui action clearCombatQueue;

/centerofbeeing

/pause 29;

/macro cob;

For new players or those without high combat skills, there is an easier way to get around on dangerous worlds. Use the natural highways used for centuries - rivers.

They are flat with no obstructions and no spawns in them. Set a waypoint so you know where to come ashore closest to your destination.




Nice tip!! 5 stars coming up

While crafting, do NOT learn a new schematic.


This is especially important with all the new loot schematics.


My friend did this last night and lost his Acklay bones. Poof. It sucked pretty bad, and they were nice bones as well.


He put a ticket in, but I didn't hear how it turned out.


Just make sure you don't learn a new schematic while you've got a crafting tool open and resources/components in the schematic. You WILL lose the resources/components that are in the tool at the time.

/ui action clearCombatQueue=w00t, I have wondered what the clear combat queue command is finally I know, thanks again for the great tips.
