I modified the common crafting macro because it doesn't work well since the datapad items are now sorted automatically (unless someone knows how to turn that off - please let me know).

The original macro looks like this....

/ui action toolbarSlotXX;
/selectDraftSchematic XXX;
/pause X;
/nextCraftingStage;
/nextCraftingStage;
/nextCraftingStage;
/createPrototype Practice noitem;
/createPrototype Practice noitem;
/pause X;
/ui action toolbarSlotxx; (call next macro)

I modified it so you can select a schematic and hit the to go to the next screen as well as changing the next macro call.

My macro now looks like this...

/ui action toolbarSlotXX;
/pause X; (add another second or two depending on lag and your speed preference)
/nextCraftingStage;
/nextCraftingStage;
/nextCraftingStage;
/createPrototype Practice noitem;
/createPrototype Practice noitem;
/pause X;
/macro (insert name of next macro here);

Whether you select your schematic on the first pass in your macro or preselect it before you run your macro, the schematic will be preselected from now on and you can just hit the to proceed to the resources screen. Seems to work just as fast as the original macro to me. Just adds one more keystroke is all.

You can find this and my helpful HAM Buff charts on my website - swg.1strev.com.
*edit* just making a clickie


Enjoy.

There is an option under Interface(?) where you can turn automatic sorting of datapad and inventory off. Could also be under Misc in the options menu but I'm 100% sure it's in there somewherebecause I have auto-sorting turned off .

I've found that option under interface.

However, after unchecking it, my draft schematics did not reorganize into the "original" order (it retained the "automatic" sort order).

So, it would appear that for those who turned of automatic sorting in the datapad before they viewed their draft schematic can still use the original macro.

And for all us unlucky individuals who viewed our draft schematics in the automatic sorted view, my macro changes seem to be the best option at the moment.

Can anyone confirm and dissaffirm my findings?

Thanks for the post on options window and sorry for the long absence.

Download the crafting macro from the guide in my sig.
