Hail there i been trying to get this chant kite macro to work but im a total noob
I just got Macroquest a week ago and i got no idea on how to use it really, well i been trying to get this kite to work in PoV but everytime i try to run it i get errors and alot of them if anybody could help me and if anybody is intersted in teaching me how to do this i would be a happy man thanks in advance

error are like
Rubber x and y and so on i get
"Name already in use"

here is the macro

#turbo
#chat tell

Search and read before posting noob. WTF?

-Consider reading the manual.
-Consider posting in the correct forum. You want help with a macro...think carefully now, where should you post?
-When posting code, please consider using code markup (there's even a cute little button you can click on when you enter your post to make this easier)

The macro you posted looks ancient. It's using syntax that MQ hasn't supported for a while now, and isn't a very good place to start if you're tying to learn. It won't work at all without MAJOR modifications. I suggest you look in the Macro Depot or Snippets forums for something a little bit more recent to get you started. If you got this from something that was inside of the MQ2 zip, some dev needs to be shot for even keeping these around, as myself and others have offered elsewhere to update anything in there that needs updating. :)

Read this topic as -- Hi I found out about this on a certain website, I read enough of the manual to get it running, I don't know SHIT about it, now I come here and ask people how to make things work???

OH first rule RTFM
second there is a search function up top use that
third spend more than 15mins trying to get things to work.
oh yeah RTFM

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOB

You need to change all of the < and > instances to < and > respectively.

You got this macro running by doing that?

DKAA: It's a start.

My recommendation: Find a better macro in the Macros 3.0 area... or if you're really ambitious, read the sticky posts in the macro 3.0 area and try to convert it to the new params.

As things are.. that won't run without a serious overhaul.

gah.... rash of noobs floating in from RPGexpert and they want it all to work with no effort on thier part. Instant answers with no effort on thier part. Instant afk plat making macros spoon fed and oh ya... they want it with no effort on thier part.

I am still waiting for todays "someone compile MQ for me plz" post.....

WAIT???!!!! You mean MQ doesn't have a button that just adds plat to my bank? And no instant AA button either? WTF did I come here for?!?! I'm going to sue for false advertising, cuz I'm a law student at Dr. Sweeny's University of Law and Sewer Repair.

heh

The problem is much greater than that my friend...

He still needs to do it.

No, he will never get this macro working in a million years, changing the html is a pointless excercise and will achive nothing. Delete that macro and look in the correct place for a new one HERE

His macro is not correct syntax =x
Needs work for sure.

If you're looking to start out macroing, here are a few tips:
- don't ask any questions on the boards unless you are going to donate and then ask in a VIP forum.
- go read elretardo's guide under the OUTDATED threads. It's still pretty useful for getting the hang of macro coding.
- write a lot of macros. They will all fail. But don't worry! Eventually they will not fail as much.
- use the manual.
- start out slow.. you can't write a 15kb macro just yet =P

- re read "don't ask any questions". They never get answered, because MQ2 people hate people that don't have a fucking clue, and are not willing to do a little research.

If a newb bitches at you, just shove it up his ass.

Fully updated and working version of this macro is posted in the VIP forums. You want it? Donate to the project devs.
