Thread: Super easy and super uber grinding macro

As an architect - my general/weapon/droid tool can create deeds that the schematics quote as requiring "Speacialized Crafting Tool".
That's been bugged since last month's big patch. The general/weapon/droid tool seems to be able to create any item, but you can't experiment on or make schematics of non general/weapon/droid items with it.

I'm having exactly the same problem Milkent is. The macro accesses my tool and opens the correct schematic, but after I put in the resources, the macro stops dead or ends my crafting session. Um... wha?
Thanks for any advice.
And no, I'm nowhere near a crafting station. Are there spaces in the /nextcraftingstage line that weren't in the post?
Peace,

I've followed MANY macro threads since I grinded through Medic, Combat medic and Doc crafting trees and the single most common issue is that /nextCraftingstage works for half the people and not the other half..
Some people suggested I was near a crafting station so I ran into the middle of Talus with nothing around me for 1000s of meters.. still didn't work
Then someone suggested adding a 3rd or 4th /nextCraftingStage into my macro, that didn't work either..
Basically I ended up settling for a macro to fire up a crafting tool, selecting my schematic, and pausing while I load my resources and hit ENTER on my keyboard a few times and then looping all over again.. ![]()
Oh, before I forget.. you can also test your macro line by line by typing in the appropriate /command..
Meaning, open your crafting tool, type /selectDra ## and hit enter and it will select that ## schematic..
You can do this step by step in your macro if you're having a problem. Nine times out of 10 if you keep getting errors about already crafting or it just eats resources its because of something simple like a spelling or CapiTaliZation error in the syntax. It skips such things and you usually just get a string of /pauses or /selectDraftschematic commands..
It freaking rules!!
For those of you that cannot get it to work, I sympathize with you very much. It took me about an hour of troubleshooting to get it to run, and than another hour for me to get it just right as far as the pauses and the schematic selection.
I agree wholeheartedly when people say that 99% of the errors come from a missed capitilization or a word slightly misspelled. Look it over carefully...it works.

/bump for the ikes man
god this macro rules...made master last night...all told maybe 10 hours from nov to master
easy!
it does not work for me
i hit the button and it says it ends. i am behind a cantina far away from a station
whats my problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????
this is really starting to tick me off
i'm probably missing something stupid but question: when i start my macro i have a /pause 3; so i expect a 3 second wait but it waits like 15 secs and i get 2 crafting station have ended messages, then the 3rd one pops up i put in my resouces and it says can't find hopper??? then it skips 2 more and repeats the process... what am i missing on the macro? or has anyone else had a problem with this? i have checked my spelling, i have changed my pause times, added and/or subtracted /next... commands. any thoughts?
