v0.34 Talk:Macros and keymaps
Designating start point
- Recording mining operations
Press d, move the cursor to the start point. Start recording. If you want to mine press d again and continue with the macro.
- Playing macros
Press d, move the cursor to the start position, load the macro Ctrl+l. Play the macro Ctrl+p
Coordinates
Macros are locally coordinated, that means they act on the current view and start at the default position, unless you move the cursor by pressing d
Moving mouse outside window
I can confirm it... sort of. Upon moving my mouse to the Window bar, the macro I was executing stopped, although the "Play" indicator remained. I'm using the latest SDL version, if it matters.--Doktoro Reichard (talk) 03:37, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
- I also have this issue on other platforms, usually when switching to another application (using SDL, of course). Maybe it's SDL-specific, although I can't check because running the Legacy version in Wine would almost certainly produce different results than running it on Windows. I haven't found this on the bug tracker, but I'll check again when I get a chance. —Lethosor (talk) 03:58, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
- FWIW it isn't a bug: it's the only way to stop a macro while executing. I merely posted this as to close a verify tag that was on the page.--Doktoro Reichard (talk) 12:22, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
How do you "delete and reload" a macro?
The article says this:
Changing, removing and adding macros while the game is running uses a counter-intuitive process. After editing the file, you must delete and reload the macro. Select Options>KeyBindings>Macros. Delete the macro and reload it with Ctrl+l.
However, in my experience, you can't reload a macro once it has been deleted. Can someone clarify this, please?
- It's, as it indicates, contrived and counter intuitive, although the explanation is lacking. After deleting the macro from the Keybindings menu (but without leaving the menu), I then was compelled to copy a backup of the amended file to the macro folder, which worked. I may rewrite that part in order to match what I see from my testing.--Doktoro Reichard (talk) 04:21, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
