Multiple Carpentry Benches - Plane Boards (Autohotkey)

Instructions: Zoom in about half way (in F5 or F6) and lock your screen (Alt + L) to prevent your screen from moving around.

• Walk you through the setup process with GUI Menus (middle click all your benches).
• Takes about 45 seconds per 100 boards (based on using 20 carpentry benches)

Note: Due to lag or clicking too soon/late, on my 1.8Ghz/1Gb Ram machine, I find adding about 10 boards per 100 will make sure all your boards get planed. ie If you are planing 500 boards, tell it to plane 550 boards. The counter rarely aligns perfectly, it seems to lose 5-10 boards per 100.

If you use multiple carpentry benches to make boards, then this is for you! It will now ask how many boards you want plane. Next a popup will tell you to middle click (click mouse wheel) all your carpentry benches. When done click OK. It will wait 7 seconds before the script begins. During this time, drag the status bar out of the way so it doesn't cover up any of the benches. Then it will start hovering all your benches and clicking the P key (equivalent to [P]lane Board), faster than you can. The more benches you have the faster you will plane a full inventory of wood.

Important: You MUST minimize chat for this to work correctly. If you dont, you will see the letter P appear in your chat bar over and over. It wont send it to chat if you forget, but you will notice it.

Update Notes:

• Update: 4/17/2010
  • Added more comments in script in case you dont have at least 20 benches like this was tested on. Less than 20 will make the script go through each bench too fast and try to make another board before the last one was complete. The comments in the script will explain how to slow the script down to compensate for that.
  • Script will now pause (instead of exit) when the last board is made. This is in case the counter doesn't match up to the boards you have in inventory. This could be due to broken blades or lag. By doing this, you can now hit Ctrl+P to resume the script and keep planing boards (without having to set the postions of all the benches again). But, you will have to manually stop the script afterwards (Ctrl+P/Pause or Ctrl+R/Reload)

• Update: 10/02/2010
  • The resume feature will now plane another 50 boards (can be configured in script) and then stop again. You will then be given an opportunity to resume another 50 boards. Previously it would resume non stop and sometimes was difficult to make the script pause or reload, manually with the hotkeys

• Update: 11/14/2010
  • Made all GUI's appear on upper left corner, so you do not need to drag out of way, anymore.

• Last Update: 1/19/2012
  • Speeded it up and added delay variable so you can change if needed.
  • Now starts up automatically in GUI mode (doesn't required Ctrl+Alt+W anymore)
