hiyas all,
first just to clarify im not posting anything new just the way i am writing my macros
1.)
first macro
macro name: sds
/selectdraftSchematic XXX;
(just this one command)
second macro:
i called it fp (for finish prototype)
/nextcraftingstage;
/nextcraftingstage;
/createprototype practice no item;
/createprototype practice no item;
/nextcraftingstage;
/createprototype practice no item;
/createprototype practice no item;
third macro: there is not much use for this but on some reasons its nice to have)
i called it fi (for finish item)
/nextcraftingstage;
/nextcraftingstage;
/createprototype;
/nextcraftingstage;
/createprototype;
/createprototype;
i used the icons with 1,2 & 3 in the graphics and put them into f10-f12
2.)
place the number of crafting tools into your f1-fx (im using 4 and this exapmle will use 4 tools)
crafting macro: im using the name loopcraft
/ui action toolbarSlot00;
/macro sds;
/pause 5;
/macro fp; (or fi if u want to make the stuff and not practice it)
/macro sds;
/pause 5;
/macro fp; (or fi if u want to make the stuff and not practice it)
/pause 2;
/ui action toolbarSlot01;
/macro sds;
/pause 5;
/macro fp; (or fi if u want to make the stuff and not practice it)
/macro sds;
/pause 5;
/macro fp; (or fi if u want to make the stuff and not practice it)
/pause 2;
/ui action toolbarSlot02;
/macro sds;
/pause 5;
/macro fp; (or fi if u want to make the stuff and not practice it)
/macro sds;
/pause 5;
/macro fp; (or fi if u want to make the stuff and not practice it)
/pause 2;
/ui action toolbarSlot03;
/macro sds;
/pause 5;
/macro fp; (or fi if u want to make the stuff and not practice it)
/macro sds;
/pause 5;
/macro fp; (or fi if u want to make the stuff and not practice it)
/pause 2;
/macro loopcraft;
/macro loopcraft;
u can place this macro anywhere between the crafting tools and the the other macros placed in f10-f12
but u can arrange it like u want - only the tools have to be in fixed position.
3.)
find out the right number (draftschematic) what u want to grind by checking your datapad (if u sort it once (change view) its from top to bottom which makes it easier to count - for me at least) and type it into the sds macro - just there.
4.) happy grinding
if u have any problems with the macro u can easily check where the problem is with pressing f1 to start a tool then the sds macro in f10 and then one of the macros in f11 or f12 to practice or make something.
advandages:
1.) if u grind thru a profession u learn more and more schematics which can screw up your schematic number ... with this setup u only have to find it out and change it once and u can be sure that u have it for all tools set. (if u have it all in one macro u sometimes forget to change just one schematic number and your screwed.
2.) sometimes even a crafter goes hunting or anything. since last patch it is not needed anymore but imagine: u are out in the field and need a camp. go to this toolbarsetup and hit f1 to start tool. select the basic camp kit hit enter and draw in the hide and bones and then just simply hit f12 (if this is the fi macro) and there ya go ... no more stupid clicking thru all the annoying crafting steps hehe.
3.) this can easily be changed to any other setup (6 tools or just 2 whatever u like) no need for typing each macro with this nextcraftingstage thing and so on. just add /macro fp; and there ya go.
4.) this is a discussable point but for me it seems that i can craft faster with this setup - it seems that this 2 macros running at same time speed it up a little bit but im not sure. very possible that this is just my feeling.
disadvandages:
none
hope u like this, cheers spima / richie

brilliant. now you can make a 7-10 tool macro without having to write out ALL that text in two macro's.
