Hides.mac

K, its a while since I did it, but here my sum up.

The macro is nice as it is, just I dont have the class.
So I did the Mission completely manuall with help of the locs and names provided by the macro.

I used my bard and Hide and Fade.
I did NOT use any DA.

Since Hide and Fade is stuff available to anyone with MQ,
the macro can be adjusted.

All I did was going to each spot and Hide. If no aggro I went on to next spot. Once I got aggro, I warped to succor and faded.

If someone could rework the macro to do the loot part single by single chest. And succor and fade after each loot and put a check on health in to let heal some before going on next loot.
That should do it.
 
Hey Bigdaddy,
A big hearty OOH RAH to you. I know what it's like My son went through the "War" and then got redeployed to Iraq again from Jan -Oct of 2005. The second tour was harder on me. Tell your Sons from Ohio that we're all proud of them and welcome home.

Added the succor and fade after each chest. It will stop until your hit points are 99 or above. You will have to put invis in spell slot 1 There is more warping going on, but its safer. Please check this code to make sure it will work. THis is Untested.

OK here is the deal. The chests are not despawning after opening. The macro runs and it updates on the quest the 2 areas fine. Then it /succor, /fade and waits for my HP to get to 100% ( i usually get hit on this part).

Then it goes to each chest and opens them (I think it does.. it hapens so fast i dont know. I do get a you gained experiance msg before it /fades tho, so im assuming it does).

After all the chest are opened it goes around and loots the chests,and it works fine....till i have to heal. I target myself to heal and it gets all messed up. then it tagets the same chest over and over and never loots. Please some tell me where its going wrong. I think it has to do with me targeting myself

I would add a subroutine like

on top
Rich (BB code): 
#include spellroutines.inc

/declare Healspell string outer Nameofhealspell

	
	







	

		Rich (BB code):
	

	

		
then inside your mainloop

	
	







	

		Rich (BB code):
	

	

		
/if (${Me.PctHPs}<98) /call Healingself

	



and on the end add a sub

	
	







	

		Rich (BB code):
	

	

		
sub Healingself
:healagain
/keypress TAB  | to switch target to self
/call cast ${Healspell} gem1 8s
/delay 10s
/if (${Me.PctHPs}>98) {
    /keypress TAB
    /return
}
/goto :healagain
/return

	



I think that should do what you want.
Any class should be able o customize theyer own healingspell.
If ya only have an item
make the Line 

	
	







	

		Rich (BB code):
	

	

		
/call cast ${Healspell} gem1 8s

	



into

Can you take a look at my mac now :) I changed it a little and added some things. I hated that it /faded everytime. So now it fades only when i get hit. It will /fade everytime i heal. Is there a way to skip this and only /fade once during the sub? And ty for your help red cent for you.


edit: ok fixed the fade problem put it outside the loop. gonna try it and see how it goes.

Well it works, but it takes too long to loot. This means death. im gonna play with it some more tonight. Its almost ready for every healing class.
 
To have the lootloop short simple and failsave is the key to make it quick.
Your problem is you have delays in it regardless if the event you are waiting on has allrdy happened.
After each delay you can put a check, if this check becomes true during the delay duration it will end the delay and go on executeing the macro, not further standing there and waiting with the chance to die.

Here what your lootpart could look like.

Sadly I dont know how to shorten the delays needed after each warp, since warping causes you to appear at the spot on your computer, but for the server it takes some time till your toon is at the new spot established.
And only after the server has your toon established on the new spot after the warp, then you can interact with objects there and will recieve aggro if any.
I dont know a check for that delay. Since Range to an object for example wont work, Since your MQ on your computer where you are allrdy on the new spot will tell you the short appearing range, but an immediate try to interact with the object then would make the server check the distance from you to the object and reply you are OOR till the server has your new location established. btw only then you will appear for others on the new location also.

Just some additional insight hehe.
I see also you simplyfied my healing sub to leave spellroutines inc out of it.
Nice short and simple : )

GL on your mac version.
 
Well my version works now you just have to be over 9k hp to take the beating. Ill keep that one up now ill work on a DA version with the shroud. And thanks crystane for your help :) Also for added insurance i put a HOT when doing last part for looting. I just use a potion. 38 pp isnt bad for the gear you get :)

Ok updated code. It didnt loot fast enough. So last 2 chests you will have to loot manually
 
Last edited:
can you mabye make a macro for clerics, like real clerics not shrouded with their 2 spell DA;s?
 
necros also have a "DA" in quivering veil of xarn. perhaps this could be beneficial to a necro type macro.
 
i have been kicking around a shroud rogue version .. but it is not final yet..

BUT /fade might be the way to go on this .. i didn't think of that... doh

i found with the DA i couldn't manually loot the chests...

you can using the commands in macro?

ARmy
 
Same problem Army with DA. Here is my solution. Run the hides program all the way down until it is done clearing the chest. End the mac there. Wait until the two chests are left (can verify on track - they are dark blue). HoTT, invis and warp to chest. Loot quickly, succor and fade. You will get aggro when you go to loot, just do it quickly and get out - won't take that much damage. Heal up and repeat for last.

A word of caution. I think it is the first chest that is by the werewolves. When you warp in to the chest, you must move into the corner asap. If you move in any other direction, you will get aggro from the mobs. So, just warp in and move to corner, turn around, loot and get out. Again, when you go to loot, you will get aggro. Took me 20 mins of going in and out to that chest to figure out that small area of the corner is the only safe spot.

IMO, two improvements could be made to the prog (note, I am not a programmer, so I don't know how easy/hard these would be. Just a suggestion - not trying to step on toes.:

1. Don't worry about DA. Just Hott, invis and go tot he chest. I found the sequence in the prog to be too slow at the chest, you die before you get out. Hence, I just did the loot, succor, fade manually.

2. When going to the first chest, after you warp in, move into the corner.

Anyways, ran this 5 times yesterday and after a handful of deaths kind of patched together the above manual fixes. (Its a giid idea to just make a hotkey for (1) tgting the chest, (2) succoring out and (3) fading. Then you aren't trying to type as a screen full of mobs rush you lol
 
you can make a hot key like this also

/warp target
/delay 2s
/loot
/delay 5
/itemnotify loot1 leftmouseup

change the delays to meet your needs

8-)
 
OK i didnt get a chance to test the macro ...but from what i hear it takes too long to loot. Thats the prob i had. Ill take out the DA part :) and do the manual looting yourself. If i find a way to make it loot faster i will add it. But atm my macro skills are at level 1 :D .
 
yeah tested this and i shortened the delays and such but it doesnt loot fast enough to not get agro unless is the lower lvl one. on hard i am gaurenteed one death but the 200 hp rewards are worth it if i can recover quickly. bring a cleric and park him at ZI
 
just FYI

i never run this one afk ...

I am sitting there usually doing stuff on other puter... but

/MQPAUSE is already typed and ready to go ..

i have had a laggy session where it wouldn't loot the hides at all ..

SO using the loot portion posted on page 2 i think .. i made a separate mac jsut for that.. and got it done


BUT those FRIGGIN hard mobs .. MAN o MAN they hit hard.. if they happen to catch you .. OUCH!!!

8-)
 
Ok, i just Shrouded a toon to 60 and kept 2 70's in the group and got a normal mission. You get the cursor rewards (lesser reward) and no chest spawns like in Sabatage for attuneable stuffs :( Was worth a shot.
Ohh, macro worked fine for me as a monk :)

ohh, you can get the mission (hard) or (normal) just by saying the correct text stated in the macro. No prereq required. I know someone said they didnt think it could be done.
 
Last edited:
There is no chest, But if you have a GOOD tank you can kill the named spawn after the chests been looted for hides. He drops 170 hp stuff. If you go to page 3 they say some bst mon dru legs drop.
 
Is this mission bugged or something? I got it 3 times with no problem but when i went to the loc in the marco to zone in I got the "perhaps if you had a reason to go there" message. Any ideas or suggestions?
 
maybe the zone was down?

no clue ..

I was just doing this the other night 8-)
 
OK i will try it again later today and see what happens...the instance is in the SR zone right? Oh another detail, I never got the line on my compass pointing to instance either but ALT-Q said i had the mission.
 
so am i correct in assuming

/itemnotify loot1 leftmouseup

clicks "yes" on the "are you sure you want to loot this no drop item" dialogue box?

im having the same problem with the looting part of the macro, the no drop box pops up but it doesnt loot before i warp back so i have to actually try and click yes as soon as it pops up and i can usually manage to loot it after a try or two, but thats unnecessary warps. it would probably be a lot easier to make a hotkey that just stands > loots > succors as many have recommended.
 
Can take the dialogue box out alltogether... /lootnodrop <never> <always> - will toggle the box OFF/On
 
oh cool thanks, that might make the macro work for me... so what if i just added

/lootnodrop always at the beginning of the macro

and then

/lootnodrop never at the end

that would toggle it on just for that specific macro right?

thanks for the help
 
bumped for those that are reading on other thread

have not tried mac since patch
 
Tried this today with a FD necro. Can not target the chests using the macro. Tried manual warping and the arrows I do see on the map but can not target using R click. Are there any plugins that need to be in use to make the macro work. I see the necro warp around and the exploration part of the quest is done but no looting of the chests. Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Yeah since the last patch I think.. they took out the names of chests and such to thwart us! ;)

The macro won't work AFAIK. You should be able to target the chests with Rt click which are just lines with no names. If that fails you, just invis and warp to a mob on the top floor.. then walk to the chests :)

Really you should be able to rt click target just like any other mob.. I just did this several times 2 days ago.

It's correct in the macro I just wrote level wrong in message below, I actually was meaning to edit that but figured since the macros would work who cares.
 
is it just me or are the skins you have to collect not in the chests anymore, use to do this mission, havnt done it lately, but now i open all the chests and not one has anything in it. are the mobs dropping the skins now or something. if anyone knows thatd be great thanks
