Shaman Cannibalization / Bind Wound Macro

CaM3Lt0Sis · Post by **CaM3Lt0Sis** » Thu Jul 03, 2003 10:35 am

I was hoping to get a macro of this sort created, I've been fidgeting with macros all day trying to get one to function properly. I have come across one on this board, but the guy must have been MISTAKEN because he linked another macro into his instead of just weaving the code together AND/OR INCLUDING A LINK TO THE MENTIONED MACRO, which basically means if you dont have the same macro w/ the same filename as him to fill that empty codespace, you're screwed.

Any literate coders out there up for the challenge.

Essentially it's just telling the shaman to cannibalze until ~25% health, start binding wound until 50% or the max bind wound, then beging cannibalizing down again, back and forth until you are out of bandages.

Thankyou in advance. :)

edited it after i wasnt so frustrated, hopefully people cool down then :shock:

You wrote that, and you call him retarded?

and yes i did "somemage", because he didnt anywhere mention WHERE you could get the other macro.

eat a turd. :shock:

Why is using include retarded?

include makes it possible to create global macro files that can be used by any macro. Kind of like the other forms of include used in many other programming languages.

What I don't understand is why you flat out insult the author of that particular macro, and then ask for help to fix something that is far from being broken.

Wow...

Talk about a complete lack of appreciation.

I bet he thinks MacroQuest sucks.

AlphaBeta · Post by **AlphaBeta** » Thu Jul 03, 2003 2:09 pm

I think what he is talking about is that he found a macro that used another macro as an include but failed to include the included macro

CaM3Lt0Sis · Post by **CaM3Lt0Sis** » Thu Jul 03, 2003 2:44 pm

u nailed it on the head :P that's all that bothered me, not necessarily the use of include but the fact he didn't mention wtf the file was

BlueSkies · Post by **BlueSkies** » Thu Jul 03, 2003 2:45 pm

That doesn't mean the guy needs to be called "retarded"...

I'm willing to bet the included file is around these boards somewhere, and if not, it could have easilly been obtained by PMing the author and asking for it politely...

You catch more flies with honey, or so they say. But that's not the point.

A certain amount of respect needs to be paid to those who supply code / scripts by those who make use of them. Otherwise, "what's in it for me?" becomes the question who's answer (ie, "absolutely nothing") turns many coders off from distributing their additions. "It works for me, why should I release it to a bunch of assholes?"

Think about it. We're not paid any money, we don't get anything in return, except the pride of having acknowledged a need, and the respect given in return for fulfilling that need. And then some prick comes along and starts insulting us. Yeah. That's gonna make me wanna help the community.

Mutual respect is what drives this project. People like CaM3Lt0Sis undermine that driving force.

i was frustrated so i said something i generally in any other situation wouldn't have said.

geez of course u know you've NEVER done that right?

lay off i made a mistake :P

u get frustrated when things aren't working properly, and yes i found the file on the boards, and had to move some stuff around in his macro, but afterwards it functioned fine, so i give him props for that

keep in mind i made the post about 5 mins after realizing it wasn't gonna work the way i was trying to do it

like i said sorry, was a mistake, nothing to get so in flames about

BlueSkies · Post by **BlueSkies** » Thu Jul 03, 2003 3:52 pm

Hm.

Perhaps I was a drop hasty with my post.

Just trying to understand how, in his first 3 posts on a new message board, a person can call an established contributer "retarded," then go on to further degrade his own fledgling reputation by telling another member to "eat a turd."

Doesn't seem like a person who's truly interested in contributing to the project. That's my opinion, of course.

/boggle

CaM3Lt0Sis · Post by **CaM3Lt0Sis** » Thu Jul 03, 2003 4:10 pm

Actually I'm quite interested in contributing, however, I respond to flames WITH flames, and I was simply being polite by saying "eat a turd" rather than "fuck off."

On the subject of calling the guy a retard, I was just honestly frustrated, it happens :p

If you don't like the pre-written code. Don't complain and make your own.

You call me retarded when the #include was a common macro file that was released in previous releases back when MQ wasn't so noob filled...

And gee imagine what search can do?

http://macroquest2.com/phpBB2/viewtopic ... llcast+mac

If the bind.mac threw you off, it was simply Kudos to the guy who made bind.mac you didn't need bind.mac as I put it's code into mine.

CaM3Lt0Sis · Post by **CaM3Lt0Sis** » Fri Jul 04, 2003 10:05 pm

no actually it wasn't bind.mac as that obviously was coded into their, if you would re-read everything that's already been discussed in this post you would understand the situation and wouldn't have had any need to post.

YKW-28983 · Post by **YKW-28983** » Fri Jul 04, 2003 10:28 pm

I understand that I was called retarded because you didn't know how to use the search feature everyone talks about in this foroms.
