Ok...whole new slew of edits...
Instead of a /pause 9 for the Transfer module, it's now a pause 7. This decreases the pauses in the 1000, 5000, and 10000 point macros.
I figured out that if you pause too long on the Transfer module, the Buy module will eventually start to outrun the Transfer. This will cause missed Buys and generally screw up your timings.
The .5 pause in the FPXfer, is just to offset the Transfer module from the Buy module. It's not looping, so it will not accumulate like the pauses in the modules, which are looping. It just ensures that the Transfer module will stay .5 seconds ahead of the Buy module.
Hopefully, this will work out the current kinks I've experienced. I'll have to wait until I get another FP order before I can fully test this out.

And yet more edits...
Yes, I'm bored at work today...
I removed the /pause .5 at the end of theBuy module (the one between /conversationstop; and /m Buy; ), as it caused a cumulative time increase in the macro that was unnecessary. Meaning that as the macro looped it built up over time (ie: 10 loops = a 5 second increase over time).
I also decreased the pause in the Transfer module to a 6.
And I swapped the kickoff order of the Buy and Transfer modules in the FPXfer master.
Now, if I've got it figured right, the FPXfer will work like this:
1. You'll kick off the FPXfer macro.
2. It will kick off the Buy module.
3. 1/2 second later, it will /del 200. If you don't have the 200 points, it shouldn't matter, as the macros should sync on the next pass.
4. The Buy module runs through 2 times (6 seconds).
5. 1/2 second after the second Buy, the Transfer module /del 200 to the client.
The 2 modules should now be constantly offset by .5. You should take in 250 points every 6 seconds, and /del 200 every 6 seconds with a .5 second offset.
This is all theoretical however until I can actually test it.

This is by far one of the best Macro's in game, as well as the HARDEST to get to work corrently. Being a macro geek myself, this one has troubled me for months and months.

My macro knowledge has grown quite a bit over the last few months. Breaking the FP macro down wasn't that difficult after I understood a little more about the system.
The trick (as evidenced by all of my editing this morning) is to get the timings to work and to get both of the modules to sync up.
I'm interested to try my newest edits and see what the outcome will be.

Awsome, thanks for the macro
They should make faction cheaper, so more people will buy it
We should be allowed to place turrets at NPC cities (they would only attack overts) and the people with the most control the city and get reduced, travel or clone, or bazaar fees

The Macro itself works fine.
My Problem is that the Chatoptions seem to change its order randomly.
sometimes the macro pops up the leave faction dialog...next loop it runs smooth...then it pops up the buying faction stuff dialog...then runs smooth again...and so on.
why cant the devs just make an interface like getting money from the bank for FP?
*sigh*

Sounds like the lag monster got you.
Try increasing the pauses in the Buy module to either 1.5 or 2.
I ran the macro the other night and it worked fine for me, with the exception of lagging and getting the resignation window twice.
NOTE: If you change the pauses in the Buy module, the pause in the Transfer module will also need to be changed. As well as the pauses in the 1000, 5000, and 10000 macros.

Okay i will look into this. I am customizing the macro, to fit my needs. (e.g. put a feign macro inside as well, manual FP purchase...auto purchase, etc.)
i will try it...and if it works correct, i post it here.
maybe to inspire you more

I expect to have some transferring to do when I get home this evening, so I'll also play around with it a little bit and see if it needs any further tweaking.
