Silo, or anyone who has gotten the camp macro to work.................can you please write your exact marco text in a post??? I tried all kinds of combinations of "/ui action toolbarpanexx; /ui action toolbarslotxx" but could never get it to work. I never got any error telling me no such command or anything, it just didn't do anything at all. But if I just physically hit my hotkey for my camps, they pop right up. I'm just over half way to survival 4 and this will help tremendously...............please someone post actual WORKING macro text on here, not the bits and pieces of good thoughts in the previous posts...........though they are much appreciated for getting this started.

Is there any way to make a macro/alias/hotkey simulate a keypress? If there if you can somehow select the control device with the macro you can make it press teh ~ key (which opes the radial menu) wait 5 second to take lag into account and then hit which ever number key is set to disband. Can anyone try this?

thought of that last night, too but didn't get to experiment.


i will today and will let you know what i find.


i don't know if that's possible, but i'm also wondering if there isn't a direct "/" command to open that radial menu (in effect doing the same thing as hitting the '`' key)- maybe something like "/radial" ?

I spend around 2 to 3 hours a night playing. When I have a group I love being able to make campes for em when they are needed. When I'm solo, I make cames to help with the healing process. So....when I'm done around 10pm or so I just make 11 camps, put them in slots 2 though 12 and hit the macro in slot 1 and go to bed. Next morning I have 11k exp. I create 11 more campes, head to work, when I get back, 11k more exp. Then it's time for playing some more. This makes takes what is a tedious process and makes it manageable. If they did not allow it, they would not have put in the tools to do it.


I use the top level camp in the scout tree for 1000 exp per camp. It disbands exactly at 50 mins 32 seconds for me (each camp is diffrent). I have my macro set up for a pause of 3060 (51 mins), so my new camp is started 28 seconds after my old one disbands. This is what my macro looks like.


/ui action toolbarSlot01;/pause 3060;/ui action toolbarSlot02;/pause 3060;/ui actiontoolbarSlot03/pause 3060...ect


The only Capital letter is the "S" in "Slot". ToolbarSlot 01 is actually the second slot which is why you do slot 01 through 11. It's actually pulling camps from 02 through 12. If you really want to you can change your hotbar bank to 24 slots and go from 01 though 23.


Also, I start Dancing after I start the macro. I've never had the system sign me off after any period of time but I do it anyway just in case. (and yes, you can start your next camp even while dancing)


For the question on how do you get the camp to disband...you don't...it disbands on it's own after a set period of time. Which is why it's important to get the /pause time correct.


Hope that helps anyone.

I'm gonna try out these macros when I get home. The camps will be placed in slots 12-23. I can get in 2 sampling cycles per camp cycle. Total camp time still remains at 3060.

That would work....very creative actually.


Also, I've seen reports on the Ranger Board that while it disbands at 50 mins 32 seconds for me, that's not always' the case for everyone. It may have something to do with .....well....nevermind what I think it is. My point is to try one camp and at about 48 mins or so into it, start watching it so you can get an idea on when it disbands for you.

Hmmm... perhaps camp exp and timing is associated with your skill level? I noticed my camp autodisband at around 50-60 mins. I dont care if I need to pad the timer a bit.

Make sure you turn auto afk off in your options. The reason you are probably quiting within an hour is that swg quits after about 15 minutes of being afk and since the default auto afk setting is 15 minutes, you will be quitting after 30 minutes since you aren't doing anything then.
