c. The last command is /ui action toolbarSlot00;
This button simply returns your toolbar pane to its default location.
There must be a single space in between the words, "/ui" and "action" and also between "action" and "toolbarPane00"

A completed list of commands to change your shirt, pants and shoes might look like this:
/ui action toolbarPane01;
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/ui action toolbarSlot01;
/ui action toolbarSlot02;
/ui action toolbarPane01;

Basically, what this does is switches the toolbar, clicks each of the buttons you listed in the macros and then switches it back to the default toolbar.



both of these should be toolbarPane00

Argh, stop using /ui action to call macros, its too fiddly compared to:


Macro name : FindJohn

/findFriend John; (where "John" is your friend's name)

/pause 10;

/macro FindJohn






Well, the honest truth, I didn't know about /macro


So kudos to improving it! Can't wait till I get home to try that one out!!

A new tip, for those who are writing a post and get the dreaded "forum time-out" that erases your posting :

1) When dumped back to the Forum Homepage, do NOT click backward/back/etc
2) Click on login, and enter your info - submit
3) THEN use the back button - and your post should be intact

Works every time for me now.

Wow, AO, now *that* is a helpful Tuesday Tip!

Remove the armor changing delay, please.
If it wasn't in, this would be a useful tip. I don't even use my armor macro anymore.





/agree 100%

I never use my macro either. You're better off indivually clicking each item then using a macro. You'll still have a delay by the time you get to clicking everything.


The item delay has no justification what so ever. The only reason that could be deemed as justifying this stupid "fix" (Which is why I dislike the "developers" of SWG with a passion and will never buy another game that have the slightest involvenment with.) is to prevent Jedi from being Jedi/TKM hybrids and being able to switch from Jedi outfit to Comp when attacked.

But a better way to prevent that without ruining the fun of this game would've been to only apply such a delay to Jedi or to the LS and Jedi Robe... Not some general "fix" like this that ruins it for everyone. But that would've called for extra thinking on the "developers" end and some coding which they are amateurs at.

Nice tip, I use to use a macro like this... until the equip delay was added. Having a macro like this is suicide to hit if you're anywhere near combat because it's extremely hard to break out of which can end up getting you killed rather easily. I've gone back to just switching armor by clicking manually since the delay was added, as that's actually less grief than hitting the macro, especially if you run the macro by accident.

Why is there an armor / clothing delay outside of combat?


I can understand not wanting people to drop encumberance for specials during combat.


Outside of combat it's just a frustration.

Your macro doesn't work since the delay was put in.

It either errors out because too many things are in the queue or just dumps some of them w/o an error.

Dont mind the armor delay to much but the weapon delay is hectic seeing how im a BH and need to use different weapons quickly as well as specials. Thats what our strength is yet we are dealyed on using it. :/

I agree wholeheartedly. We have at least 3 main weapons we use and adding a delay for us makes it practically impossible to play our profession as intended. Same goes for Master Marksman.


Can we please get a reconsideration?






Some of my pet peeve bugs:
•Armorsmith protection layers were not converted with the CU.
•Ship Details window does not close when you click "Travel" resulting in the message "You have lost the target. Closing interface."

The armor delay also forces everyone to walk around in composite armorALL the time because if they're caught off guard they are dead. So thanks to the delay, we have composite clones everywhere instead of just in battle.


I really hate the armor equip delay

I dont think they're paying attention to this thread anymore, since the original post still has flaws in it.
