Verviticus, you must capitalize the S in slot and P in pane or it wont work.

/ui action toolbarSlot00

/ui action toolbarPane00

All,

Wow. We must have a lawyer in the group.

Well, I hadn't really used this anyway, and wasn't smart enough to make it work. I'll just do my political crap around the camp fire and do this the old fashioned way.

B

I've noticed that If I just sit around it will automatically log me out, but if I sample I stay online MUCH longer.

I am still having trouble with this macro. I can build a camp where Im at so I know its not a problem with being too close to a building ora lair.Someone please help...

1. Do you need semicolons after each of the commands? I have tried with and without them and it still doesnt work for me.

2. Does the macro work for multiperson camps? Does it matter?

Here is what my macro looks like:

/ui action toolbarSlot12;

/pause 10;

...(goes up Slot number until)...

/ui action toolbarSlot20;

where slot 20 holds the macro itself. Anyone got any ideas about how to fix this?

It wouldn't work for me either then i went back and realized i had to capitalise the S in slot. I don't think you need those semi-colons if you have those in your macro. Cuz it worked for me once i capitalized the Ss. I had no semi colon like /pause 10; just /pause 10.

The most common mistake is not capitalizing Slot - it IS case sensitive. Should read, exactly, "/ui action toolbarSlot12" for example. No semicolon is needed.

What I always do is type it in the chat pane whenever I initiate the macro, so I know it will work - just in case. If your camps aren't triggering, then try typing it in the chat pane also. If it works it will make an effect on that hotkey. If not, you typed it wrong.

I tried this last night and it worked like a charm. I filled up the bottom row of a set of toolbars with camps, modified the script a bit to include a survey/sample script I already had, and let it rip.

It went through about six or seven camps and got auto-logged out sometime during the night.

I'm wondering if this occured because of a "scheduled maintenance" window on the server.

No big deal it still got me through Survival II and well into III before it stopped, and I also got a ton of survey xp and some good samples.

A great tip!!!! I'm not a big fan of grinding AFK, but this one is really great.

The system does that whenyou have been idlefor an extended period. I'm not sure what the cutoff time is, but I've had this happen to me quite a few times when I would step away from the computer while logged on. Write down your current survival xp, run the macro, and step away from the computer. If you get logged off while you've been away, log back in and check your survival xp. If it increased, then the macro was successfull.

There is a simple solution to the auto log-off and two ways of doing it. The first option is to ctrl+o (options) and go into the afk menu. At the top of the screen is a box for auto afk that is x'd clear that box = no more auto AFK. The other option is to edit the macro, such that the first command after you execute is /AFK. The deal is as long as you manually AFK the log out timer doesn't kick in. If the system takes you AFK the timer starts and you get bumped.

Ok.I went back through the macro. Removed the semicolons and double checked that the capping was correct. Still doesnt work.

All I get is a metallic 'clunk' sound. Any suggestions?

Do the camps need to be single person or can multicamp kits work? Does it even matter?

What do you mean that you type it in the chat panel? Everytime that I type '/ui action toolbarSlot12' I get the same metallic 'clunk' sound. Someone help, please.

One more thing, I have all the camps put on Toolbar2. Does that make a difference? Does the toolbarSlot12 refer to the first box on the 2nd toolbar?

All hail Da_Bamf...you rock man. I tested you macro last night, while I was going to dinner with my soon to be In-Laws. I was at dinner while the game ran, maybe 3-4 hours I let it run on it own. I got back and I was almost done with Survival 3! I am at work right now and guess what my PC is doing right now....you guess it...earn me some survival xp baby!

I adjusted you macro a bit and instead of sampling (Which I have no need to do) I added maskscent. Now I had read that maskscent gives you scouting xp, but that did not work. Oh well. I still earned 5000 survival xp for doing nothing at all. Do you have any other suggestions to add scouting xp to the survival xp?

In any case...to anyone who is looking to boost their survival xp while you are away...this is the REAL DEAL baby! It works.

Bravo!

Scout-Pistoleer -

That metallic "clunk" you are hearing is the sound you get when you're macro is hitting a hotkey with nothing in it. Macros can be pretty tricky if you're not totally familiar with them. What you need to make sure is that there are camps located in the hotkeys that are being referenced in your macro. They can be single camps, multiple person camps, ect. As long as you have a camp in there (or any other item for that matter), then you won't hear that metallic clunk. Now, you said that you are storing all your camps in your toolbar 2. I'm not sure if you are talking about your secondtoolbar set(Ctrl+2) or the second row of your toolbar. But if your talking about your second toolbar set andyour macro does not contain commands to access that particular toolbar pane, it will automaticly default to the toolbar you have up. If that's the case, then you need to make sure that your toolbar 2 with all the camps is the one showing on your HUD when you begin your macro.

Here's some general info regarding toolbars and what slot# they correspond with:

1st row of Hotkeys F1-F12 --> toolbarSlot00 - toolbarSlot11

2nd row of Hotkeys Shift+F1-Shift+F12 --> toolbarSlot12 - toolbarSlot23
