Small program

Post by TheHunter » Sat Dec 06, 2003 2:00 pm

You guys had a program that limited FPS, that didn't involve the whole need/installation of MQ.

Is it simple to write a similar program that just handles auto archery?

<press x> start spamming the END key
<press x> ends spam

I'm anctious(sp?) to use MQ, don't wanna get banned, but i really need auto archery without the need of a gamepad.

You can get banned either way.

If you don't mind alt-tabbing every time you want to start a macro, you can use the rudimentary functions of AC Tool to get what you need done. Mouse movement will not work.

Currently using http://www.spinner.nl/products/winmapper/ but with this tool the Fkeys or END or NUM keys don't work (cause of directx i think), so i can't chat.

Anyone know a different program that allows this?

Xylobot

Personaly I don't run MQ that often usually only when I tag a botted character along behind me to heal or buff or tank while I shoot it with arrows. For Archery I have used gamepads and didn't like it. I use Xylobot for Archery and Kicking. You can tell it to stop firing by telling it to trigger off something in the log file. (an example would be, "You gain party Experience!")

Personaly for simple repeated actions I love Xylobot. It's quick, dirty and simple. The downside is it's 20 bucks to register.

MQ is FREE a lot more powerful and is definatly worth the extra time and learning curve to get set up. I use both and love em both. I feel using MQ is probably a little more "dangerous" than Xylobot though. :twisted:

SOE has stated that using a gamepad while sitting at the computer in no way violates thier rules. IT is the moment you leave that gamepad running and step away from the computer you can get banned for.
