I am using the macro listed in the guide to weaponsmithing which is sticky'd up top. I have 8 doid and weapon tools in my toolbar. when I run the macro it will start one tool then say "crafting session has ended" and this will repeat like 2 more times then a tool will open and allow me to click on the resources then it'll do the same "crafting session has ended" so its like only every 2 or three tools are alowing me to craft. not very efficeint. Anyone know what I am doing wrong?

It sounds like you might need some extra pauses in your macro. If your computer or your internet connection is somewhat slow, your macro could be running faster than the crafting kit. So, try to add a /pause 1; in between commands here and there where you think the macro is breaking.


Also, you are sure your macro's all call the next macro in order, right? The command to activate a crafting kit would be ToolbarSlotXX; where XX is a number from 00 to 23, representing the 24 hot keys you can use. The numbers start at 00 instead of 01, so that's why its 00 to 23 instead of 01 to 24. Anyway, assuming you have your8 crafting kits in the first 8 keys (F1 to F8), and your 8 maco's in the first 8 shifted keys (Shift-F1 to Shift-F8), then just check to be sure your 8 macro's correspond to their correct crafting kits. The first macro should access the kit in /toolbarslot00, and the lastmacro command will start the macro for the second kit by calling /toolbarSlot12; (which is Shift-F2, which starts the second macro), the second one ends with /toolbarSlot13; etc etc. The last one should call the first one if you want them to loop. So in this case the macro on the Shift-F8 key should end by calling /toolbarSlot11; which is the macro on the Shift-F1 key.


So, if you're macro's are giving you trouble, you'll just have to learn how they work, and experiment with pauses to overcome difficulties in timing.
