Macro help

[BRuTAL]

Anyone know how to get macro to equip my weapons... everything works, all my skills and even can equip my shield but not my weapon...wtf is up?

[Hellfire]

I'm not using macros very often, but whenever I wanna change equipment by them, I put the parts of the equipment in one free short-cut-bar (I dont think you use all 10). Normaly I take 9, then when I create the macro, I drag-drop the icon from the bar into the code-line of the macro (e.g. my tallumgloves) and the proggy writes the code automatically. Save it, try it ... no guarantee

Well i guess i figured it out...i need to be attacking b4 it actually goes back to my duels.
if i hit mob with my duels then use my macro it goes ( takes out shield, stuns,then goes back to duels). thx for the help tho. laters

Bad part is, Macro's are extremely slow and they dont always work! it sometimes skips something which realy sux

I guess I know why they not work correct. Most macros I've seen until now work like this:
1: /useskill haste
2: /useskill focus
3: /useskill deathwhisper
... etc.

On the old old rm2k we had similar porblems. There we solved this laggs by putting in "waits". I know from other ppl. (but I dunno the correct code) that you can put in an little intervarl as code. This would normaly mean, that the macro would work slower. But you don't have to put in a delay of 1 sec +. When I worked with the rm2k, a 166 mhz processor was satisfied with an delay of 0.01 seconds after every comand.

To my regret I cannot test it (atm). I dunno if it would work here too. If yes, good - If no, sh1t happens ...

yeah well the porblem is.. the smalles pause interval in l2 is 1 sec

Oh, sorry, I didn't know

The right code for the delay is: /delay x
x stands for the seconds. Minimum is indeed 1 sec.
Usually you can use:
/useskill x
/useskill y
/useskill z

the problem is only, that the macro will be canceled, if you do ANY action while it runs. Chatting, using other skills, pressing any keys, clicking around,...

Fock macro's, they are slow. I dont even use it when I duallog. BUT for shops they are awsome!!!

I have a question about Macros, too. I don't know if I should've posted this in a new thread (sorry if it seems rude, Brutal, to talk in your thread), so feel free to make a new thread and move my post. Question: I know how to make a Macro advertise for shops in Trade chat, but how do you do it for Shout chat..? I've seen people advertise for their shops way too fast to type all of that, so I'm pretty sure there's a way, but I've never been able to find it before. Please help.

[Soel]

I think these people use a kind of bot.

[Artemîs.]

Oh.. Darn..

[BRuTAL]

Hey rhia, no i dont mind u using this thread, its the macro thread for anyone that wants help. But yes the people that spam so fast use l2walker to auto say what they are selling or buying.

[Artemîs.]

Ohhh.. I see. Thanks.

Shortkeys might work too.
