The /nextCraftingStage command does work.

You will not see it go to the next stage, but it will. If you put all four commands in a macro, with appropriate capitalization, the macro will work. The commands are correctly registered by the server (SOE's computers), but make no visible change on the client's UI (your computer) If you still don't believe this try the following:

If you are practicing (using "/createPrototype practice no item") you can check to see if you'reweaponsmith XP is going up by the correct amount (94 for a projectile riffle barrel)

If you are not practicing (using "/createPrototype") then your crafting tool will start a countdown and the item will eventually appear in your inventory.

I have six crafting tools, one in slot 11 of each of my six toolbars. my macro reads like this:

/nextCraftingStage;
/nextCraftingStage;
/createPrototype practice no item;
/createPrototype practice no item;
/pause 2;
/ui action toolbarPaneNext;
/ui action toolbarSlot11;
/selectDraftSchematic 70;

I have the macro set to the "/" key on my number pad (to do this hit control+O, click "controls", click "keymap", click "custom" tab, click on the appropriate macro, click rebind, hit desired key or key combo you want it bound to, click ok.)

I hit the "/" key, the crafting session closes (the first time I hit it there is no crafting session open so this does nothing) it pauses for 2 seconds and calls up the next crafting tool and loads the schematic. I double click on the resource twice and load it in. repeat process ad infinitem.

/, double click, double click, /, double click, double click, /, double click, double click,.....

If you have some means of simulating double-clicks (via a joystick or keboard shortcut as suggested in other threads) you can have it do the clicking for you and just set the macro to doan infinite loop.

I don't, but I use the macro quite often, when waiting for a shuttle or sitting in the cantina/med center healing.

Now I just need more steele

Thanks!!! This was exactly the tidbit of information I was looking for. It took a bit of searching to turn up this post, and since it was a huge help to me, I thought I'd say thanks and give it a bump at the same time in case there are others having the same problem with /nextCraftingStage.

My problem was that I wanted to, even while using macros I saw online as a reference, build my macro one command at a time, testing it after adding each command to make sure it was working and see if it needed to be tweaked. I was ready to pull out my hair trying to get this command to work. Everyone I asked said, "I dunno, it works fine for me," and I just couldn't understand what I was doing wrong. Now it all makes sense and more importantly, it works.

Thanks tao42!!
