=== Original Article === [http://www.swgcraft.com/forum/showpost.php?p=46398&postcount=106 JoeCrimson's Post on Crafting Macros] First of all there isn't an AFK macro for crafting, but this can really speed things up for you. Here's what you'll need to get this to work right: * pad and pencil (or a REALLY good memory) * half an hour or so to set up macro * 4 to 5 or more crafting tools depending on how long it takes to make whatever you're trying to make Here are the commands and a description of how they work: * /ui action toolbarSlot00 ** THE 'S' NEEDS TO BE CAPITALIZED!!! The UI will not give you an error message if you don't capitalize it, you'll just sit there and wonder what went wrong!!! This triggers one of the toolbar buttons, depending on the number (00 - 11 for the bottom row, left to right, and 12 - 23 for the top row) * /selectDraftSchematic 0 ** Capitalization, oddly not required, but stay in the habit of capitalizing new words, it's a good programming practice . Selects a draft schematic based on the number after the command (note the space in there). The ordering of the draft schematic seems to be based on phases of the moon, and other strange esoteric stuff, so that's why you need the paper and pencil. It's time consuming, but the best way to do this, is to type out /ui action toolbarSlot00;/selectDraftSchematic 0; and run that from the chat prompt, stepping selectDraftSchematic manually as you go, and closing the crafting window after each time. This prevents pressing enter from triggering the next crafting stage and messing you up ("Gee, why is the Advanced Biological Effects Controller draft schematics number 5 - 28, that's weird." And don't look at me like I'm stupid, it was an honest mistake). ** The draft schematic ID number seems to be based on when you received the schematic. So, if you have, for example, 160 schematics, the schematics you received for Novice Artisan would be at the lower end of the scale, where your Master Weaponsmith schematics (assuming this is where your career ends up) is at the top of the scale. * /nextCraftingStage ** As above, capitalization not required. This moves crafting to the next stage of the session (like pressing enter). * /createPrototype * /createPrototype Practice No Item ** These two commands are the same, except for the 'Practice No Item' switch at the end. This command ends the crafting session, and makes the item (or practices on it). The completed macro comes together something like this (annotated version follows): /ui action toolbarSlot00; /selectDraftSchematic 0; /pause 7; /nextCraftingStage; /nextCraftingStage; /nextCraftingStage; /createPrototype Practice No Item; /createPrototype Practice No Item; Notes and annotated version of macro: * First, if you do this with one crafting tool, it isn't worth the time. On average, with a schematic that takes 29 seconds to make (Micronutrient Supplement, /selectDraftSchematic 8 for me), I can make 5 or more in the time it takes me to do 4 manually. Get good crafting tools, if you critically fail while doing this, it's probably going to take you a couple of minutes to move your crafting button out of the spot it's in and let the macro cycle through to the end. * Second, yes, those commands are there multiple times for a reason. Put them in just like that if you want the macro to work right. * Third, this macro will not let you automate the experimentation portion of crafting, nor will it stop on the experimentation portion of the crafting process. This is due to /nextCraftingStage not actually SHOWING the next stage, but just going to it in memory. This macro is 100% useless for experimenting IMHO. Annotated version: /ui action toolbarSlot00; * Activates button in the F1 position /selectDraftSchematic 8; * Selects draft schematic 8 /pause 7; *6β7 seconds is the minimum ...unless you're very fast with the mouse ...run it this way once or twice, and then adjust as you see fit ...or it's probably going to waste time by trying to go to the next stage of crafting. /nextCraftingStage; *forwards UI to the next step of crafting (hidden) /nextCraftingStage; /nextCraftingStage; /createPrototype Practice No Item; *finishes the item /createPrototype Practice No Item; *closes the crafting session window Okay, other than that, just repeat and have it target a different crafting tool in a different slot of the toolbar, until you've used all the tools you have. After that, set it to trigger itself again, and it'll keep running through till you move the button from the position it's in. ---- Here is an update to this post to streamline the process even more. For this I have been using four crafting tools, using higher quality tools to cut down on critical failures. What I have done is simply added two more commands at the end of this one and created the macro four times. I will show you exactly what I am using and then explain the additions so you can modify to your needs. First of all I created four macros crafting_1 - crafting_4. Crafting_1: /ui action toolbarSlot12; /selectDraftSchematic 144; /pause 6; /nextCraftingStage; /nextCraftingStage; /nextCraftingStage; /createPrototype Practice No Item; /createPrototype Practice No Item; /pause 3; /ui action toolbarSlot01; Crafting_2: /ui action toolbarSlot13; /selectDraftSchematic 144; /pause 6; /nextCraftingStage; /nextCraftingStage; /nextCraftingStage; /createPrototype Practice No Item; /createPrototype Practice No Item; /pause 3; /ui action toolbarSlot02; Crafting_3: /ui action toolbarSlot14; /selectDraftSchematic 144; /pause 6; /nextCraftingStage; /nextCraftingStage; /nextCraftingStage; /createPrototype Practice No Item; /createPrototype Practice No Item; /pause 3; /ui action toolbarSlot03; Crafting_4: /ui action toolbarSlot15; /selectDraftSchematic 144; /pause 6; /nextCraftingStage; /nextCraftingStage; /nextCraftingStage; /createPrototype Practice No Item; /createPrototype Practice No Item; /pause 3; /ui action toolbarSlot00; The set up, expand your tool bar so you can see both rows. Now place Crafting_1 in the top F1 slot of the bar than place Crafting_2 in the top slot of F2 and so on... Now place each of your four crafting tools in the bottom slot of positions F1 - F4. Once this is done simply hit F1 and start crafting. You will have 6 seconds to select your resources before the macro moves on. *side note* You can select the resources by double clicking on them, don't drag and drop it takes too much time. The macro then finishes the crafting session. Next there is a 3 second pause before the last command. The last command in this macro is to start the next macro in line, Crafting_4's last command is to start Crafting_1. The end result is once you hit that first key you shouldn't have to hit another key until you want to stop the loop. Now you just sit back and double click your way to the next level! One last bit of info is on time control. The overall length of time each macro takes is 9β11 seconds. The item I am grinding to get xp, takes 30 seconds for the crafting tool to create. So when tool 1 starts to produce the item I have three more tools to go through before I get back to tool 1, so at 10 seconds for each tool it takes me total of 30 seconds before I get back to tool 1. This works out perfectly for me, but what is if your item takes 40 seconds to make? Well it is a pretty simple solution create macro Crafting_5 and add a fifth crafting tool. But what if your item only takes 25 seconds to make? Well you could leave it as is but we want to be as efficient as possible, so I would recommend dropping the 3 second pause to a 2 second pause.
