skills.mac-a macro for just about all skills

Malachi · Post by **Malachi** » Wed Feb 19, 2003 12:17 pm

This macro does all the practicable skills found in the readme. I'll make a druid casting practice one too that expects low level spells for every skill. I don't know the other classes low level spells/skills, but someone can edit it for their class if they choose.

This has pretty good instructions, I wrote it because since I started using MQ, lots of my basic skills have suffered. (for example sense heading) Additionally, I have several melee characters and plugging away at those hotbuttons is sure a pain.

So, without further ado, Skills.mac.:

|by malachi
|Instructions: Read the list of /calls and place a | in front of anything you DON'T want it to do.
|If your race/class can't do one, no worries, it checks for that and just won't try if you can't do it.
|
|Yes, timings are off. It will loop perpetually though,|so you'll get max attempts, I promise.
|
|I would suggest making one of these for idle practices and one for battle.
|
|That is, one with battle disciplines and one for sitting down, save as skills1 and skills2 or
|whatever and call with hotbuttons. Just don't forget an /endmacro hotbutton as well.
|
|This has no delays, so you should be able to add it to other macros by including and calling the sub
|if you so desire.

Noted one minor error in code:

sub Disarm
|starts commented b/c of aggro
/if $char(ability,"Slam")>0 /doability "Slam"
/return

ability should be Disarm not Slam.

Thanks. I also forgot to put hide in there. EDITED to fix BOTH.

While playing my necro this evening, I discovered a kickass trick. I'm not going to publicly talk about it, but basically I leveled my (Starting at 9) necro every 3-4 kills w/o taking 1 hit. (25 mins per level)

I needed KEI.

I needed this macro that I threw together. It doesn't target, I do that. This just casts the spell over and over in the shortest time possible. I won't say where or what. The name of the .mac gives it away. I shouldn't even post this, but if it's nerfed it'll be ok cuz I'll be done w/ it by then. There is 1 spell that necros get that is almost unresistable. This uses that spell. Please don't post it if you know it, I just stuck this up so you people could use it if you figured it out.

Code: Select all

sub Main
:Loop
/call Cast
/goto :Loop
sub Cast
/cast 4 |I put the spell in my 4th slot. You should edit this.
/delay 30
/return

Don't PM me cuz I won't tell you. You can do eet!

~malachi

p.s. I'm not trying to brag...I just wanted to share. This uses a widely known "exploit" and a KEI trick that I figured out for myself. Basically, it's unlimited mana.

sub Feign
/if $char(ability,"Feign Death")>0 /doability "Feign Death"
/return

might want to add

sub Feign
/if $char(ability,"Feign Death")>0 /doability "Feign Death"
/stand
/return

in there, because you can't complete a lot of skills while feigned, need to stand back up.

Also, might want to add

sub Sneak
/if $char(ability,"Sneak")>0 /doability "Sneak"
/if $char(ability,"Sneak")<0 /doability "Sneak"
/return

otherwise sneak just stays down and the skill does not go up.

These are just some tweaks I had to make as raising skills for a monk, otherwise good macro.

Malachi, that's a well known exploit, and every guide drops by there practically once a shift to check on it. Good way to get suspended or banned.

Wow, way to bump a post from FOREVER ago. :)

of course, Ayla's post was from today as well, but that's ok.

I don't play EQ anymore, feel free to edit this script as you please. I leveled a necro from level 7 to 17 in an afternoon in paludal in one of the safe spots using lifetaps with fiend.mac. No guide ever came in, but my server was an ol' skool one...we did silly stuff and never got banned.

I coulda taken him to 25 easy, but I quit too soon. :) eh. /shrug

I never did find the location of that spot... which is a shame, my wizard could use an easy 4 or 5 levels.

Valerian · Post by **Valerian** » Wed May 28, 2003 11:07 am

there were a few spots in Paludal that were "safe points"... and yes, they were observed usually at least once per shift by Guides. All those are gone now, as is the safe room in HighKeep.

Was trying to get pick lock skill up, but this wasnt working. So I added /left click in there. Seems to work, only problem is trying to /endmacro.
