Question - Cool macro ideas for a beginner VV user with a programming background?

[Voidless]

What would be some cool macros to make that wouldn't be brain frying to make? I'm currently just messing around and making stuff for fun, but eventually I'd like to make some community usable ones =)

Rn I'm working on figuring out how to automate TS so I can craft the artisan's prize seals without spending more time looking for items in my horde of TS mats than combining

tradeskills are always a winner - that'd be a good place to start.

I would strongly recommend checking out MacroQuest "Next" and looking at jumping into Lua scripts instead of the macro script code


TSC does the newbie stuff and gets the things you need for trophies
jande has an epic Crafting macro > tradesman <

there is still desire for other tradeskill stuff - many folks have no idea what things to grind to 300 after they get their 50 skill and pick up their trophy quest. just something to vendorbuy and level up as high as you can via vendor would be useful

oh next is switching to Lua? that's even better for me since I have a background in both Lua and perl from emu server dev lol

I'll definitely check that out

next has mq2lua which offers the ability to run Lua scripts, yes

check out the link above

alynel had MQ2DotNet but MQ2Lua was also written as a model for how to handle bindings

something that handles collection items would be nice too. where it would organize them and sort them. maybe something that would place/pull them from a house crate.

/mac shiny gather
Need to run this once, if you switch expansions or manually clicked some collection items

As with all things some setup is needed.
Setup 6 houses close together:

/mac shiny
/mac shiny help
The list of commands

/mac shiny put
/mac shiny put <Expansion>
Add collections in your inventory to the vault per expansion or just add to already existing stacks in the house if no expansion is given.
e.g. /mac shiny put cotf

/mac shiny dump
If it is a collection item dump it inot the house

/mac shiny get
/mac shiny get click
Reads the Collections.ini and grabs one of each missing collection optionally also clicks it !

/mac shiny check <Expansion>
Checks that the items in the vault should be there, if not grab it
e.g. /mac shiny check tbm

/mac shiny grab <Expansion>
Grab all the collection items from the house for a certain expansion
e.g. /mac shiny grab tbm

/mac shiny owner
Makes you the owner of all the collection items in the vault (/stinkeye to people that grabs whole stacks and then just put it back)

/mac reward xpac
If you have Overseer Item Dispensers this enables you to collect the item from it
Overseer does not allow you to claim latest expansion collection items
NB: If the Claim button does not want to work. /endm /reload and retry

Expansion: events, rof, cotf, tds, tbm, eok, ros, tbl, sof and tov
shiny.ini <- this file contains the lists of collectibles per expansion (Post below)

/mac reward clickall
Click all items that is collection item
