Macros

Well, I see some people are discussing/sharing macros, and I think that's a good thing. Nobody likes the tedium of clicking, and not everyone has the ability to write good macros/scripts to handle that while they are there.

REMEMBER - it is ILLEGAL to go afk while macroing. If a eGenesis staff member catches you, you could be banned for breaking the terms of service.

With that in mind, let's make this a normal page of the wiki.

Tale 6 Macros

Mindl's Macros

• Flax 3x5 Seed / Flax Harvest Macro - AutoHotKey - Based on Iggy's Flax Macro
• 8x Woodplane Macro - Autohotkey - Planes and Repairs for you
• Up to 4x4 Onion Macro - Autohotkey - Becuase I couldn't get Veggietales macro to work

TheMazeEcho's macros

• File:Barley.zip macro for ACTools, set up for a ful HD screen resolution (1920*1024). Plants 29 beds per round, pin the plant menu to the top right corner, make sure you carry at least 30 barley, and enough water and grain fertilizer.

Sithid's Macros

AutoIT macros I use.

Tale 5 Macros

• Most Macros will still work in Tale 6.
• Note any links below in red, are because User pages were not copied from Tale 5 to Tale 6.
  • You would need to visit the Tale 5 Macro page to see the original links (that are now red).

Anka's Macros

I'm back and will be updating all of my old macros

• Barley
• Charcoal Hearth
• Charcoal Oven
• Firepit - autohotkey
• Endless Flax
• MultiTool
• Multiple Resolutions - some are 1920x1080 only for now.

Iggy's Macros

• Iggy's AutoHotKey Macros
  • Flax Macro
  • Clicking Macro
  • Clay, Grass & Slate Macro

Rogarian's Macros (Windows Executables)

• R-Cubed (Windows Only)
  • R-Cubed is simple program that will allow one to easily pick up grass, slate and clay. It will also do simple skill based tasks such as digging or gathering limestone.
  • "It's stupdenous!" ~Traak

Jimbly's Macros

• LUA-based macro engine named VeggieTales
• Special modes for:
  • Thistle recipe generation
  • Carrot harvesting

• Macros for
  • Flax
  • Glass making
  • Quarrying
  • Generic repetitive clicking while monitoring your stats (digging, pumping, sand mining, weaving, carving, etc)
  • Wood gathering from a copse of trees
  • ...and more!

3rd Party VeggieTales Updates:

• File:Rake.zip (for VeggieTales) by TheMazeEcho
  • Will also crack coconuts while working the rake if you have a kitchen window open with coconuts in your inventory!

• Small Barrel Creation Macro by KasumiGhia
  • Run as many barrel vises as you can pin without overlapping (If your computer is fast enough)

• Water Mine Operation by KasumiGhia

• Forge Helper by Darkfyre
  • Process as many student forges as you can pin to the screen.
  • 1/28/2012: Fixed: Sheeting and Wire would give image not found, nill value error. Uploaded the fixed version to T6 wiki. ~Cegaiel

• lets make jugs
  • File:VtAddons.zip salt/potash/jugs - just pin and run

• Edited macros for VeggieTales by KasumiGhia
  • updated chem_helper Script for T5 essence values
  • modified Onion Script
    • Note by Cegaiel - I highly recommend this 'modified Onion script' by KasumiGhia. It fixes alot of the minor variables that can break the script and adds some conveniences.
    • I added a minor update to her script that will refresh the plant window after harvesting (in case you used your last seed and the plant window is blank).
    • Added instructions in macro to inform user that 'Right click opens a Menu as Pinned' must be OFF. That will 'break' the script quickly.
    • View Cegaiel's T6 Onions.lua update here ! Last Update: Dec 17, 2011
    • And more updates by KasumiGhia:
    • refill water after harvest if that prevents having to refill during the watering cycle.
    • Try to run faster if the user selects a large number of plantings. I can successfully run a 20 plant area. The previous version starts failing at around 15.
    • Will store harvested Onions in a sheep pen, If you have one in range and pinned open.
    • View the Update page here Last Update: Dec 29,2011

Flax Updates by Cegaiel

• These should have been added for Tale 5, but weren't, so grab it now! :

• Flax.lua Update - 100% original lua file, except that it refreshes plant window after harvesting. This is in case you used your last seeds during planting (causing the plant window to be empty, because your inventory of seeds is empty). Prevously it would cause a Plant window not found on 2nd and subsequent plantings.
  • Last Update: Dec 17, 2011

• FlaxSeeds.lua Update - 100% original lua file, except that it refreshes plant window after harvesting. This is in case you used your last seeds during planting (causing the plant window to be empty, because your inventory of seeds is empty). Prevously it would cause a Plant window not found on 2nd and subsequent plantings.
  • Last Updated: Dec 14, 2011

• Flaxcommon.inc Update - 100% original lua file, except that it now correctly calculates the seeds required for FlaxSeeds.lua file. Previously, the seed amounts were not displayed correctly with multiple passes. (ie 1 or 2 pass of a 5x5 grid would show 25 seeds, instead of 25 or 50).
  • Last Update: Dec 14, 2011

• View T6 Flax update here !

Cegaiel's Macros

T6 Notes: These macros are still posted/edited/maintained on my Tale 4 user page. Yes I know I used these same T4 pages during the entire T5 and am probably going to continue being lazy and use T4 pages during T6. So far, I haven't come across any that do not work on Tale 6 yet, but will update any that I do find. The link above will lead you to my T4 Macro's Page, which is I will be updating through Tale 6.

1/26/2012: the T4 and T5 wiki has been locked from updates. So the next updates will be on my T6 page. As soon as the next update is needed, I will create and add to T6 page.

I do not recommend the Kettle Autohotkey Macro TakKettles that you will find by following the links on Cegaiel's page.  
I get run-away macro under windows 7 and have to crash my system to recover.  
It completely hijacked my mouse and keyboard. 
Zhukuram 13:31, 25 January 2012 (EST)
>> Note: You can pause/unpause Tak's kettle macro with Ctrl+P or Reload it completely with Ctrl+R while it operates.
Might have been a fluke, I wouldn't be so quick to give up, this is the best kettle macro I've seen. ~Cegaiel

AC Tool

There are a couple of issues with AC Tool that, once you fix, make it very easy and good to use.

• Windows XP, start the program in Administrator Mode.
• If you get the error "Could not find Decal's MEMLOCKS.XML", just click Macro > Asheron's Call 1 Settings > Skip AC Mouse Memory Writes
• Setting <f2> and <f3> as start and stop hot keys will help fix most of the issues of "run away" macros.

Misc

• [A Click in Time]
  • Written by GarethDahm in Tale4 for Windows.
  • Free Application!
  • Position a small arrow anywhere on your screen.
  • Set the timer.
  • Let it ease your RSI factor!

• Ghostmouse (Windows Executable) - Simple old freeware program that records your mouse movements/clicks. Can adjust the speed with a click in Options, if necessary. Records in real time, no scripts to edit, easy for anyone to use. Program no longer made or supported, found in old archived backup CD. (Screenshot)

Personally I like autohotkey because it's freeware and is still being updated - Blogot

I second the Autohotkey recommendation, it has some extremely powerful features but is still fast and lightweight, and new features are being added all the time. - Dragyn

Personally I like AutoIt 3.0 it is freeware updated alot and it is very powerful allows macroing of almost anything windows - Ledeanna

I second the AutoIt recommendation, it is very powerful as well, easy to code and allows compiling the scripts for use by people who want to macro but feel not competent enough to write their own or who dont want to install the scripting software. ~Anguz - Note - AutoHotKey also allows you to compile an exe for machines with out AHK installed. ~Jhnny

Added SCAR Divi, its similar to ACtool, but in my opinion much better. It has very nice support for Bitmap searching, and even Bitmask searching. The bitmaps can be converted to strings, and loaded directly in from the script (Rather then saved as images). Lots of other features, but people will have to find them. SCAR also supports bitmap masks, and Deformable template models, which allows the macro to find and identify multiple images, or peices of text, even when the colours, position, or even size has changed. Its possible to make fairly advanced macros that will work regardless of window positions ingame, or resolution.--Kinslayer 08:32, 29 August 2009 (EST)

Running without Windows?

A lot of the macro effort has gone towards programs for windows. The windows version of atitd can be run using www.winehq.org (run Windows applications on Linux, BSD, Solaris and Mac OS X).

Veggietales and autohotkey work to some extent using this emulator along with the windows emulation of atitd.

Autohotkey 'keys' need to be changed to ones that work (Scrolllock, Numpad up/down/left/pageup/down buttons seem to work on ubuntu10). Recording and playback work only on windows emulated programs, but that's enough to save you from windows.

==Tale4 Macros==

Many of the Macros from Tale 4 still work. Please copy them to this page once you have verified them.
