Ahhhh Thor I need your Crafting macro expertise

[Chalrhynn]

I copied down the 5 star crafting macro (practice one)
and it will say when i start it " too many commands queued commad <select draft schematic> <next crafting stage ect.... I need your help i would like to have master medic by monday (have off school God bless M.L.K. ;D) so i can fac elong dark of Moria(doc.)

THank you so much

[Thorsen (Aemon)]

hmm, well.. without knowing exactly whats going on, I'll throw you some basic macroing tidbits...

1. Make sure you included the ; 's
2. Make sure you included the ; 's (yeah, I forgot them once)
3. Try increasing the pause time (exspecially in lag)
4. Never Macro near a crafting station
5 and along with 4, never macro in town (to much lag, to much stuff going on, too possible to be near a crafting station)

If this doesn't help give me another hollar and we'll try to figure it out.

[Chalrhynn]

i got it to bring up the first tool ( forgot they were case sensitive ) but now they wont go to the other stations just comes up the crafting station has ended

[Thorsen (Aemon)]

That I can fix

Change the numbers 01 02 03 and 04 in the macro to
00 01 02 03

That should fix you up.

ie: if you push F1 your actually pushing tool bar slot 00. I hope this helps.

And if not, make sure your not near a public crafting station.

[Chalrhynn]

ok now it actually pushes the tool in the F1 slot but it will be compleated and you would expect another window to come up to click ingredients but instead i get

the crafting session has ended X2 and it would keep bringing up this message in a pair for all eternity till i type /dump

i am just thouroughly confused

Not sure how much this will help, but this is what I used to grind spices.

I used FOUR Generic Crafting kits. While one was on timer I'd move on to the next one.

How my hotkey toolbar was setup

F1: Macro: FINISH_1
F2: Macro: FINISH_2
F3: Macro: FINISH_3
F4: Macro: FINISH_4

F5:
F6:
F7:
F8:

F9: Macro: START_1
F10: Macro: START_2
F11: Macro: START_3
F12: Macro: START_4

Shift + F1: Generic Crafting Tool 1
Shift + F2: Generic Crafting Tool 2
Shift + F3: Generic Crafting Tool 3
Shift + F4: Generic Crafting Tool 4

Shift + F5:
Shift + F6:
Shift + F7:
Shift + F8:

Shift + F9:
Shift + F10:
Shift + F11:
Shift + F12:

Now for the Individual Macros ...

FINISH_4

/pause 2;
/ui action toolbarSlot08;

How does it work ....

You press F9 to start the process.
- When you press F9 (START_1 macro) it will activate the first Crafting Tool in slot 12 (the shift + F1 position).
- The macro will then load the schematic (in this example schematic 19) and send you to the screen where you will have to manually select the resources to use.

Manually select the needed resources (double click or click and drag), do NOT click Assemble!!

Press your F1 (FINISH_1 macro) key.
- This will take you through the rest of the crafting process.
- It will also automatically start the next START_X macro ... opening up your next crafting tool, selecting the proper schematic, and getting you to where you have to select your resources again.

Press your F2 (FINISH_2 macro) key.
- This will take you through the rest of the crafting process.
- It will also automatically start the next START_X macro ... opening up your next crafting tool, selecting the proper schematic, and getting you to where you have to select your resources again.

Press your F3 (FINISH_3 macro) key.
- This will take you through the rest of the crafting process.
- It will also automatically start the next START_X macro ... opening up your next crafting tool, selecting the proper schematic, and getting you to where you have to select your resources again.

Press your F4 (FINISH_4 macro) key.
- This will take you through the rest of the crafting process.
- It will also automatically start the next START_X macro ... opening up your next crafting tool, selecting the proper schematic, and getting you to where you have to select your resources again.

Press your F1 (FINISH_1 macro) key.
- This will take you through the rest of the crafting process.
- It will also automatically start the next START_X macro ... opening up your next crafting tool, selecting the proper schematic, and getting you to where you have to select your resources again.

I think you can figure it out from there.

Why, oh, why did I setup my tool bar like that?

Fist of all you do know that when you craft something, the little number in the corner of the crafting tool is a timer, right? I tells you how many seconds before it's ready to go again. If not, you do now. Craft something ... anything ... and you'll see a number pop in the corner of the toolbar slot that crafting tool is in.

So, because I get lazy, drowsy, forgetful, whatever ... in case I forgot which FINISH macro to use, I could tell at a glance.

Remember:
F1: Macro: FINISH_1
F2: Macro: FINISH_2
F3: Macro: FINISH_3
F4: Macro: FINISH_4

Shift + F1: Generic Crafting Tool 1
Shift + F2: Generic Crafting Tool 2
Shift + F3: Generic Crafting Tool 3
Shift + F4: Generic Crafting Tool 4

If I see the following in the bottom row of my toolbar (CT = Crafting tool; # = timer):

| CT1: 15 | CT2: __ | CT3: 38 | CT4: 26 |

Then I would know that I need to press F2 (FINISH_2) as it matches up with Crafting Tool 2 in slot (Shift + F2)

If I see the following in the bottom row of my toolbar (CT = Crafting tool; # = timer):

| CT1: 17 | CT2: 8 | CT3: __ | CT4: __ |

I would know that F3 was the nest one to use as it matches up with the first Crafting tool not on a timer (thus ready to go).

Not sure this is what you needed, but this is what I did and I got through spices in 2 days. (Would have been 1 but I ran out of resources).

EDIT: I tried to clarify things here ... I hope I didn't just confuse you more.

[Thorsen (Aemon)]
