All of my macros and automation are written for VeggieTales - my LUA-based automation/macro engine. I was fed up with issues with ACTool and AutoHotKey, so I did what any self-respecting engineer would do - re-invent the wheel!

General usage info - to come!

Specific Macros

Note: all of these are available by installing VeggieTales (above), this page just lists information on these macros. Feel free to edit the descriptions to be more useful as needed (e.g. if you found that you needed to tweak some value to get it to work right, add that info here!).

In general, all macros, when first started, will prompt you for some initial parameters and then ask you to put the ATITD window in focus, and then press shift (may need to hold for a moment). You can also use this for other programs (or, for instance, have Photoshop open with a bunch of screenshots to toggle between, for testing purposes).

Also, generally, a macro will cancel if it detects you are holding Ctrl+Shift, and pause with Alt+Shift (some may have slightly different behaviors).

barrel_grinder.lua - Solo barrel grinding

Set up to run the barrel grinder solo, winding every 20 seconds until it breaks, then repairing, waiting 2 minutes, and restarting. For non-solo grinding, the script would need to be modified a bit (would not want automated repair and restart).

dig.lua

Simple dig script and a good example to learn from. Monitors for a red Endurance stat and finds the "dig deeper" button to click on when appropriate.

raeli_color_mon.lua

Automatically saves a screenshot, with timestamp, every time a specified pixel changes color. This will give you about 50-100 screenshots you can very quickly toggle through to get an accurate list of what colors are generated at what times.
