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.


Corrupt Zip File Work Around

Sometimes when you download a zip file (via Internet Explorer) from this wiki the file will show as corrupt and you cannot open it. There is a browser setting that prevents the download from happening properly.

For Windows IE you need to alter the HTTP options:

  1. Tools/Internet Options/Advanced Tab/HTTP 1.1 Settings
    1. untick Use HTTP 1.1
    2. untick Use HTTP 1.1 through proxy connections
  2. Apply the change and restart the browser (close it and reopen).

Now try to do the download again and your zip file should be OK. Reverse the above steps once you have the zip files downloaded.


You know what, I've left this option unticked for quite sometime and have yet to see any negative side effects. I can still download files from various sites, no problems... Now I just leave it unticked all the time so it continues to download uncorrupted .zip files off wiki, via IE. ~Cegaiel
  • Here is why you might want to re-enable this: ~Zhukuram
HTTP 1.1 is a newer protocol. With this unticked the browser uses HTTP 1.0.
From Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertext_Transfer_Protocol
HTTP/1.0 uses a separate connection to the same server for every request-response transaction
HTTP/1.1 can reuse a connection multiple times
Hence HTTP/1.1 communications experience less latency as the establishment of TCP connections presents considerable overhead.


Talescripts for VeggieTales

  • Talescripts is now online and functional - Jan 29, 2012
    • Keep your Veggie Tales up to date from a central repository, via GIT or SVN (and coming soon, an Update button in Veggie Tales v1.6.0+).
    • More tweaks and 3rd party macros will still be added over time. Check updates often!
      • The goal is to eventually get every useful 3rd party VT macros added (listed on this page and some that are not) to the repository, as well as other updates and tweaks.
      • Once this happens, then you can just download everything with two clicks (and keep everything patched with new updates, also two clicks).
      • Note there is a crematory macro included here, if you are hunting for one!

We will not update or modify the original zipped versions from their respective author that are displayed on this page. However, any fine tuning/tweaks we find that are needed or would be beneficial will be done in Talescripts.


Last Update: Apr 9, 2012


NEWS: Read about Veggie Tales v1.6.0+, that will be released very soon. It will now include an update button to synch Talescripts. Soon you will no longer need to use the Git or SVN program to get your updates! See news in Talescripts for more info!

I now use the VeggieTales Kettles-Full lua script. It works great! Zhukuram 15:07, 1 April 2012 (EST)

>> Note by Cegaiel: You can pause/unpause Tak's kettle macro with Ctrl+P or Reload (Abort) 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.
Also, restart atitd before using this particular macro. Game gets laggy after about 1.5 hours of playing from memory leaks.
The macro will pinup the windows for you, like Veggie Tales Flax, so lag is bad during this process.
Make sure BOTH the "Right Click Pins/Unpins a Menu" and "Right Click opens a Menu as Pinned" is checked (Interface Options)

Leghk's Macro Mods

Update to Cegaiel's carpentry shop blade macro to allow any orientation of the anvil. Get the zip from my user page with notes on usage.


Skyfeather's Veggietales Macros

  • Nut's Essence Macro - Ensure you start a batch of nut's essence and pin your toxin kitchen macros so that you can see all options without scrolling.
  • Essence Macro Update - Performance improvements
  • Glass Macro Update - More time efficient and doesn't need to stop making glass items to spike the temperature
  • Board Macro Update - Reloads carpentry shops with carpentry blades, may not work if you don't have a dozen or so spare
  • Wood Treatment Macro - Must edit the lua file with the specific recipe you're attempting, recipes included should be close, but likely won't be exact
  • Metal Treatment Macro - Same as above for wood treatment, but you have to add a new image file for whatever metal you're using. Sun Steel is included as FromSunSteel.png, currently set to Titanium
  • Thermometer Macro - Ensure your heater control is set to standard, hover the mouse over the glory hole when you press shift. May still bungle 20% or so of therms.
  • Reactory Macro - Poorly documented, only works with upgraded reactories, automatically loads reactories when the 4x batch menu is pinned, and a reactory menu is pinned after the metal has been crystallized at some percentage.
  • Forge macro - Really poorly documented, just clicks all of an image on the screen
  • Weave Linen macro - Pin the hand loom, will process as much thread as you're holding, will not stop when you run out of thread

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

  • T5N.gif [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.
