macros and DT

[Brune]

Hi folks,

I just tried to make sure my macros file on a certain computer would work (cos I had to edit them a bit on a different machine), and the auto download of v254 failed.

I went to the DT CL page...well, almost. The DT main page loads, but the CL page is empty/won't load.

Anyone know what's up?

Also, last night I read the macro's news regarding multiple mouse buttons. It was very frustrating, since I could read the words, and even sound them out. But I couldnt really make sense of them.

I have modifier-click macros for cadding and staffing. I think I'd like the "other" button to be "/use\r"

How in the heck do I do that?

Thanks

HWC Brune

Can't help you with the macros,
but I can confirm that a lot of folks have big problems
with the DT-webserver.

Looks like it's badly broken and there are not even the
client-updates downloadable.

Hope DT noticed that already and is working on it.

(AnnGM admitted recently that they run out of disk-space
on the Web-Server... )

In the meantime while they're working out the server problem, I posted the client, data and image files on my server (http://www.windsofdawn.org/clapp.sit) (warning, it's like 38MB).

About your macros, Brune.. your existing ones should work just fine unmodified. The new features allow you to do fancy things by checking the @click.button variable, which indicated which button was pressed. Could you be more specific about what you want? I can guide you through using the new features once I know what you want out of them.

Hey Hidden, Althus and other Mak'ros priests...

With this latest update (v254), my macros that do word parsing seem to be broken.

Specifically, if I "set" or "setglobal" a variable to a word, and then try to access specific letters in the word by using "word.letter[letter number]", I get nothing back.

All of my macros worked just fine before the update...
Any ideas?

Thanks!

Geesh hidden, this is embarassing.

My problem is that I don't have a good idea of how macros really work.

so, telling me the @click.whatever does thisamathing doesnt help.

But here's an example (if I see it, I can likely learn from it)

Right now, shift-control-click on a player is this:


shift-control-click
{
"/equip mercurial staff\r"
"/use " @clicksplayer "\r"
message "

While I download the v254 OS X client from iolas (sp?) at a blistering 18KBps, where might one find the reference to the new commands?

I don't need instructions on using them, just the link to and reference files.

Thanks,

Noivad: The documentation is currently offline with the rest of the DT webserver. When it comes back, there's a link in "What's New"

Brune: I hate to say this, but I'm as baffled as you are, and I don't remember enough of what I read (haven't updated my macros yet) to solve your problem.

Luminary: Make sure you're not using local variables as an index to global arrays and vice versa. That's the only problem I know of with things like that.
