No f laming here,

but I find it interesting that you removed item naming colorization because it wasn't easy to use (so you told us) and now you are advertizing us to use the same thing for bio.

Am I missing something there?

---

Yeah, they didn't remove item coloring because it was difficult to use. They removed it because they feared it gave sellers an unfair advantage of having their item names stick out on the bazaar withoug having to pay the cost of listing it as a premium auction. Or that was the explanation we were given. It seems they could have just had the bazaar strip the color codes when showing the names, but maybe that would be difficult to implement.

A tip:

You can use these color codes when naming a waypoint or a harvester to help you keep your things organized better.

Oh and here's a link to some HTML color codes

---

That's correct

We do want to add it in the future as something players get when they use the "premium auction" feature so that the premium feature has a real advantage.

7 and 8 dont do anything, so i think its 1-6.... I like #4... looks like 5 is the default

---

Hmm, I'm sure I remember there being a 0 too... 1 is the only one I care about though.

On a completely different topic, I can't believe after a year people still have that extraneous \ in there. When you do \#000000\Whatever, the second \ isn't needed. You can just do \#000000Whatever. You can also do \#. to go back to the "default" color, whatever that is.

This is a nifty logout macro I wrote.

/afkmessage logging off in 30 seconds...;
/afk;
/sit;
/pause 3;
/logout;
/pause 3;
/afkmessage logging off in 25 seconds...;
/pause 5;
/afkmessage logging off in 20 seconds...;
/pause 5;
/afkmessage logging off in 15 seconds...;
/pause 5;
/afkmessage logging off in 10 seconds...;
/pause 5;
/afkmessage logging off in 5 seconds...;
/pause 5;
/afkmessage afk;
/quit

/quit;

Anyone has some secret command to expand the room in your bio? I'm a casual players with 4xx days on my veteran ticker and one of the most anoying things in this game is the very, very small room in the bio. I get alot of nice comments on mine and would really like to continue writing.


Same goes for /note. I really cant understand the design logic that is behind the character limit in there. It is stored LOCALLY, so it takes no server space, noone else can see it and yet there is a rather small character limit...why? (its full with a couple of resource vendor stock lists)

Here's what I've done with my setup, I created a macro called /journal which contains

/ui action questJournal;

I then bound that to CTRL+J, now when I press it it toggles the quest journal, just like the rest of the windows. (I started doing this in JtL Beta since the Journal is bound to J in space, and wanted easy access on the ground)

I've also setup a maskscent macro, however mine does the following

/dismount;
/pause 1;
/maskscent;
/target speederbike;
/pause 1;
/mount;

If you aren't riding a bike the first dismount is ignored, so it can still be used to jump onto a bike, however if I am riding it will dismount me, maskscent and remount my speeder bike, the /target speederbike means I dont have to bother selecting the bike before I run the macro. (You'll need to change it if your aren't using a speederbike or swoop) I currently have this mapped to CTRL+N on my keyboard, though I might change that to open the notepad and find a different key for maskscent/mount.

I've found this maskscent macro invaluable travelling across Dathomir when trading in XP.

Actually you can do it much easier than this!

Go into Options (CTRL+O) then Controls then Keymap. If you look around in there there's a mappable command called "Quest Journal" (I'm at work so I can't remember what category its under). I've got this mapped to Ctrl+J so I can quickly see my FS and JtL missions while on the ground, and its one less step than yours!
