Questions about tradeskills

Post by wassup » Sat May 24, 2003 12:45 pm

Will Macroquest work with the older tradeskill scripts that were used before the old UI was removed?

I understand some changes might be needed to adjust to the /click and mouse functions that were recently added. I am mostly wondering about whether Macroquest can still find items in your inventory regardless of which pack they are in.

No, /finditem does not work. No prediction on when it will, I'm busy with things around the house and don't have time to work on the location parser right now. That has to be done before /finditem can be fixed.

Well, that's not too much of a problem, I can use the mouse functions and get the xy coordinates for the locations in the bags.

Macroquest still has a large advantage as long as the $cursor() function works.

$cursor still works, no problems there... well, for some reason my fishing script doesn't want to destroy rusty daggers today, but oh well :)

Make sure your containers don't overlap before you begin, pretty sure you will only click on the top one and that can, of course, cause problems.

Until I get a chance to poke at the parser a bit more you can still do all tradeskills using XY values for mouse movements. If I can get the parser to look through bags, even a little, we can probably write a macro to temporarily replace the /finditem function.
