Request - Looking for a parcelbot programer

[Razkle]

I find that will all my toons getting tons of loot I have started to store certain items on certain toons, I have one that ALWAYS gets all the silks and pelt for instance. I was looking at loot.ini and it hit me, what if you had a macro with an ini that when you were in front of a parcel person you could run the macro and like sellstuff.mac does it would in game mail all the items you have marked in the ini to the appropriate toons? Anyone want to tackle this?

my thoughts is it would be a mac and an ini

mac would me parcel.mac which when ran acts just like sellstuff.mac but parcels your tagged items to the tagged recipient.

ini would be layed out like the loot.ini but instead of keep,destroy,sell it would be =toon1 = toon2 or =toon3. You would need to add the items in 1 time and the recipient 1 time and after that any toon that targets the parcel person and runs would send all of the items to those toons... so in the example below all diamonds and blue diamonds would be parceled to Bob and all Peridots to Sam and all Scale Ore to Mike...

parcel.ini
Diamond=Bob
Blue Diamond=Bob
Peridot=Sam
Scale Ore=Mike

Now this is a mac I'd love to see happen! Would be so very helpful.

 

[saar]

I can see what i can do since i too would be interested in it aswell, since i bot 12 toons.

 

[Wolfborn]

Great idea!

 

[Razkle]

I am an idea man, you guys would be amazed at how many idea on automation I have and do on my own but alas not a programmer.... not anymore, too old and forgot all the good stuff

 

[PussyFoot]

I think this could be easily done, I may see what I can come up with later today.

 

[william12]

doesnt sound hard.

/if (${FindItem[Diamond]}) {
code to open parcel window
code to put item in parcel window
code to enter name from ini ${Diamond}
code to hit send
}

Would have to find the name of the parcel window etc.

I just learned about guild halls yesterday. Today, I learned that I can actually mail things to other characters through "parcel." Now, I'm interested in the potential of a "parcel bot." :-)

 

[Razkle]

I know sellstuff does it a bit different, maybe we can modify that to our needs? replace loot.ini with parcel.ini so we can track the who to send to?

#include Ninjadvloot.inc
Sub Main
	/call SetupAdvLootVars
	/call DoLootStuff sell
		
	:sell
		/doevents
	/goto :sell

/return

I was poking around mq2 boards for current list of window TLO's which is out of date, basically have it open merchat window click tab 3 for parcel, select item from ini, leftmouseup, child window pop up with amount to send click enter, then leftmouseup for name to send pulling from ini, then leftmouseup on send.
gonna just try something basic, if im correct it should move to target yenny and open merchant wnd then select parcel tab if it does all that then just need to grab first item from ini entry (have a if statement

:Find Item
/if (${FindItemCount[inipull first entry]}) { 
    /nomodkey /itemnotify ${FindItem[inipull first entry].InvSlot} leftmouseup 
    /delay 5 ${SelectedItem.ID}==${FindItem[inipull first entry].ID}
    /if (${SelectedItem.ID}==${FindItem[inipull first entry) {
      /need the info for mailing the item if it finds the first entry with any amount
    }
    /goto :Find Item
  }
  /echo No more (inipull first entry) to mail!!!      
  /return

)

Start this macro in old guild hall
need mg2navigation mesh
/tar Yenny
/delay 3s
/nav target
/nomodkey /click right target
/nomodkey /notify MerchantWnd MW_Subwindows tabselect 3

i havent ever pulled info from an ini before so its new for me, but this is a start once im back home and mq2 is up to date i will see what i can come up with while dead hills mac runs.

so my vision for the ini portion would be something like this:

i cant get

/notify MerchantWnd MW_Subwindows tabselect 3

to work right, all the rest works i just cant select that parcel tab with merchant window open.

 

[Maskoi]

It must have changed at one point its

/notify MerchantWnd MW_MerchantSubwindows tabselect 3

 

[saar]

thanks mask
so im guessing

MW_Send_To_Edit

would be the text edit box but using

/nomodkey /notify MerchantWnd MW_Send_To_Edit leftmouseup

doesnt work, but its not sending an error either. that is from the XML file, looking at the tradeskill macs i have been figuring some of this out sorry to keep asking for help but once this is all finished can post it on mq2 board for all.

 

[Razkle]

this is awesome, I had a good idea and you guys are all helping make it REAL! Thanks!

 

[saar]

Once i figure out the EQUI things it should be done, but like i said i have always built hard coded macros not ini driven so i will need to read a bit on it, but once it is done i will get a version for mq2.com and one for here. I am trying to learn as much as i can to help were i can, i havent wrote macros since 2004 so a bit rusty so to speak. Thank you all for putting up with how long its taking.

 

[Razkle]

any progress on this thing? I just finished 2 toons powerleveled and I had SO much stuff to parcel out!

 

[saar]

so im still working on it i only get a couple hours a week to code and even less to test, i will post up some stuff later that does the "trick" but need to tweak a few things and learn to send and grab data from ini's, I peeked at a few to try and get it started but cant get one to trigger. Also it uses the parcel guy in old guild hall so can send without worry lol.

 

[Razkle]

you can ALWAYS send me anything you need to have tested, I will happily test it!

 

[saar]

So the mac i have "works" but not from an ini, you open the mac and fill in the name and the item then run the mac and it works, i need to just figure out ini's

 

[ctaylor22]

The INI code is straight forward and If you look at the LoadIni Sub Routine in Kissassist.mac The logic handles Adding a record to the ini file automatically, if one does not exist. You can also use Ninjadvloot.inc as a reference. Here are some links that should help.

[saar]

thanks ct i missed the second one searching mq2.com

 

[Razkle]

omg I am SO excited this might actually happen!

 

[saar]

I will have an alpha test ready within the week for the parcel macro, it will have an ini based around our favorite "loot.ini" style. I would hope to get a few to help in the testing process and maybe to help clean the macro up for a beta test on a larger scale but hope you all will enjoy. and the ini is character specific too so not a global mail.

 

[Razkle]

Count me in, I am SO ready to test this!

 

[Maskoi]

I will upload the newest compile this evening with the new push sell and buy button features.

 

[ctaylor22]

Thanks Maskoi.

 

[Razkle]

are we getting any closer to making this work?

 

[saar]

i would but have worked a 40 hour week in 2 days so i am a bit tired but will try to code a bit more.

 

[Razkle]

its all good, just checking to make sure this is still a possibility, I am available for testing anytime

 

[Razkle]

Saar has it mostly working, I tested it a lot, you have to massage it a bit and sometimes it mails to the wrong toon, still one in the ini but the wrong one.... when he gets more time I am sure we will get this finished....
