Macros - Eq1

[ausversucht]

I just recently realized that this program supports macros in eq1, I had used xylobot for a while for macros (I really only needed simple looped macros), but that was broken sometime last fall and won't work at all anymore and has been unsupported in eq1 for quite some time.

My question, do you need to install any additions in order to utilize simple input macros in eq1? I can't seem to utilize the macros by way of using the Macro commands in the console, it doesn't recognize it as a valid command. All I want to do is cast spells over and over to raise the casting skills on my Shaman (level 23 now and can't cast canni without about 20 fizzles in a row)

Do I need isxeq to do something this simple?

Yes.

Additionally, there is a script + include file to do exactly what you want over in the MQ2 ISXEQ Scripts forum

No actually. You can make a script click repeatedly without ISXEQ, or record/playback keyboard+mouse control.

Try putting your mouse cursor over the hotkey that casts your spell, and type "mouseclick left" in the console (the one in game from hitting `, not the uplink console available from the IS right click menu)

Here's a really simple macro that could easily be used to raise casting skills.

Code: Select all

function main()
{
  while 1
  {
     /* click left mouse button */
     mouseclick left

     /* wait 3 seconds */
     wait 30
  }
}

Save it in InnerSpace/Scripts as castskill.iss, then in the game console type "runscript castskill", with your mouse over the button to hit. Then just sit and watch, or go get a sandwich, etc. You can end the script when you're done by typing "endscript castskill"

Thanks much,

What is the command for a keystroke? I would like to set it up to do several different casting skills in a row. May need to weave in a heal for the times I need to nuke myself.

Very helpful. Again thanks.

press <key>
e.g.

Code: Select all

press a
press b
press c
press enter

you can also do "type" to make it type a sequence of keys
e.g.

Code: Select all

type abc
type blah blah blah

Sweet, Thanks again

After about 8 hours of strait casting, all of my important skills are now at or near max. This is great, Thanks
