One artisan waypoint tip -

If you make waypoints to high concentrations of resources, be sure to name your waypoints with the date in it, so next time the resources shift and you don't immediately clean out your datapad, you know automatically which ones are old and which ones are new. There is nothing more frustrating than running a few 1000k and finding that the waypoint of 98% of that high-quality resource is outdated and there is now none of it there at all.

Interesting concept... but I don't think you can call more than one alias from a macro. That is, I've tried making something like this and it didn't work because I had too many aliases in my macro.

Luckily the /dump command should stop all running macros. Haven't tried it yet though... don't have any long macros that would need it.

This is a great thread.

Here's my tip for would be Squad Leaders:

Requirements: Wanrning Shot (though Threaten shot may work s as well)

A pet or player that can tank and

Mask scent is extremely helpful, perhaps required

When hunting MOB's that can turn you into Ground chuck in 10 seconds, I have found success with this formula.For this example I will use Pikets from Dantooine which almost always start out and respawn in threes:

1) target theclosest MOBand get just within attack range, appox 65m. Kneel or go prone.

2) hit target with Warning Shot then immediately /peace

3) if successful the target should run away, out of range and the other two MOBS will begin charging.

4) since the two MOBS will now be running at you, shift-tabwill allow you to selecta nowcloser MOB (watch target distance in meter)

5) Send 'Tank' at the new target and run backward until 'Tank' engages the MOB. Both creatures should attack your'Tank'.(BTW my current tank is a Greater Sludge Panther,I"ve seenthiswork with Robas and other 2-3k HAM pets.)

6) Warning shot then /peace one of the two creatures that is attacking you tank until it is out of combat range.

7) focus onthe MOB that is attacking your pet. Hopefully, you have enough firepower to destroy this thing before it kills your pet and attacks you, but that's a judgement call you have to make.

8) separate and destroy the remaining MOBs

You should have successfully scattered the rest of the pack and made it easier to pick of the remaining MOBs. Of course, this takes practice and you will need to find out details that make it easier for you to attack, but the end result should be One MOB, away from the lair and no hits on you.

9) hit the lair 1 time only and /peace (or CTRL / works too apparently)

10) as soon as the first spawn appears use a SAP shot and /peace (see below)

Another technique that I find useful is to target the mob farthest from the rest of the pack. Get just within attack range. Go prone or kneel, and mask scent. Do a Sap shot (damage over time, i.e. mind shot, health shot, etc) and immediately peace. If your shot was successful, and none of the other MOBs attack you, then you can run back 30-40 m and wait 20 sec. If you are not too far, the MOB will attack you as soon as it takes damage. You wil haveplenty of time to prepare for it's attack, it can stillrun atyou from as far a 100m. I generally try to pull it past the rest of my group so they are firing away form the lair, but at 100m (+or-) you should not accrue any more agro.

Again, practice makes perfect, and this works best in a group, though I've successfully done this by myself (with pet) or with one other person. You can usually substitute Warning shot for a pet, but it might back-fire on you.

Good luck troops!

"So a "nerf" has come to mean any reduction in power to any part of the game. "

This should say any *perceived* reduction or balance in power

Did you know...

/dump works perfectly to terminate running macros. I macro a whole lot of stuff, and keep a hotkey for /dump on my taskbar. When it's time to stop sampling or flourishing or whatever, hit it and you're done.

You can put a macro in the taskbar and then have it call itself by pressing the corresponding taskbar button at the end of the macro - instant recursion! It's really vital to /dump before switching taskbar panes though or it'll start calling something else...which might be a combat macro...which can be BAD.

When crafting lots of big things (powering through Droid Engineer) you can have as many crafting tools as you need. When I'm building Advanced Droid Frames I have eight Droid Crafting Tools running simultaneously. Never any downtime, and at 400xp a pop you rise right quick if you've got the resources.

The /emote command places a little bubble over your head for thoughts ... example:

/emote thinks that the entertainers are HOT

will put a bubble over my head that says ...

Selah thinks that the entertainers are HOT

Actually, on my microsoft intelli 5 button mouse i have double click on the wheel and autorun on the large thumb button. But either way, a button for double clicking is by far the best thing that has happened for SWG Saves sooo much time.

Did you know that it helps you in the game to be memorable.

Two things i like to do....

Instead of yelling i need training in such and such...wait for a shuttle to come and stand on the platform right before it gets there. Type in AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! Help!!! and then when it's almost landed hit enter and do a roll to prone command. I bet you get more than a few lol's. Then ask for training or whatever you need and you'll get a lot more responses.

The other thing i like to do is to go into a medical hospital when i need healing and say "Hey Doc it hurts when i do this." /jump "Got anything for that?" I usually get healed a lot faster than the others sitting around quietly.

Stupid humor i know but, you get yourself noticed and you can get what you need faster as well as building a personality for your character. Good luck.

Great thread!

THE SUPER SAMPLEING SCRIPT

&

THE ARMOUR ON AND OFF WITH ONE BUTTON

&

MACRO LOOPING

Post

ok people here it is , the super sampleing script you seen varations andgood ides to wards it here is a fully automated sampleing loop

/sample;/pause 4;/sit;/pause 30;/stand;/ui action toolbarSlotXX

Script Explained: and the LOOPING pricipals

1) this script as it is only takes one sample b4 you sit FACT even a master has to wait 25 sec's between samples if you sit 30 your fully healed (keeping you action maxed)

2) **edit** is /ui action toolbarSlotXX the is a command to execute somthing in your tool bar numbers start at 00 running to 11 meaning f7 is numbered 06 F9 is 08

3) by calling it's self you've just created and endless loop to stop it type /dump or make a macro

4) hmm if it loops that means i never have to check it so i can go out for a good drunk and get 1k of resurces in a 85% plus area in a a 5 hour span

* note /ui action toolbarSlotXX <- that s is uppercase for a reason if you miss is it will not work

** if you don't put the macro in the right slot you won't get it to loop

*** always face you back to town when using this for EXTENDED periods when you sit / sample you move back a tiny bit My personal best is 300m move for a automated sample sesion

4x* you can caft while auto sammpleing so do it and get awesome XP

EQUIP UNEQUIP one button

goto a tool bar you don't use put all you armour in there (say toolbar 6 )

make this macro (longer depening on how many pieces or armour you have )

/ui action toolbarPane05;/ui action toolbarSlot00;/ui action toolbarSlot01;/ui action toolbarSlot02;/ui action toolbarSlot03;/ui action toolbarSlot04;/ui action toolbarPane00

SCRIPT EXPLANED

1) this script will change you tool bar to bar 6 , hit 5 F# buttons for you and change you back to toolbar 1

2) use the macro once to put it all on and once again to take it all off

* once again it's case sensitive make sure the Pane and Slot are capped like i have

** if for some reason you armour didn't all equip and now you are half armoured hit it again and the other half is armoured hit ctrl+F6 to go to toolbar 6 and hit the armour you have on (to take it off) this skips the pain fumbling thru your inventory to un / equip you armour and hey it's in a tool bar so use it =P

Hope i helpped
