Modular AutoMacros for every class

[Noobhaxor]

I was talking with toots (another RG member) and auto macro enthusiast. He has modded a zerker, druid, and beastlord using the auto macro subs as a base. I am putting together a bit of a revamp with videos so RedGuides community members can do this in a much easier fashion. I have seen several macros come out recently and many PMs of other members do this exact thing.

So, after much debate. I am going to continue to focus on Cleric, Warrior, and Bard (I also play a monk so I'll easily toss him in), but I want to make it so YOU loyal Red Guide member can use these macros to make the ultimate (fill in blank) class macro for the community. I will make a video showing the methods I use to fill out the spells, and how to fire AAs / items / spells when conditions are met. Since you all main these other classes, it should be you to set the conditions. Once approved we will post them here for everyone to use. Don't worry if you don't have coding experience, I can simplify my macros a bit more and tell you guys how to make them perform the way they should and for the class that you want.

I keep wanting to expand to all classes and I think leveraging our awesome community is the way to teach, learn, and create the best possible macros the Red Guides community has EVER SEEN!

Stay tuned, I hope to have another update by the end of the month.

Are you thinking something along what IHC did with this?

 

[toots]

Yeap. Exactly like that one. I plan on reaching out to ihc to compare our two zerker setups. Also, I'll try to help noob with getting some base things up and running. If anyone has any of these running already it's great to see ideas!

 

[wynge]

This would be awesome, thanks Noob!

 

[kaen01]

i added little bits extra to autowarrior as is, looking forward to seeing this for sure.

Hell yes! Thank you noob

Guess toots and I should chat cause I'm doing a beastlord one also lol...if you main or actually know how to play one of these classes I'm sure you'd be better at this than I...I just go to raid forums read how they do their burns and "try" to convert it to mq code and rely on people smarter than me ( noob ) to figure out the hard stuff like finding and engaging the targets. I epeen measure my dps constantly so I know what I'm looking for but not how to actually play the class

Got en enchanter in the works too lol the auto subs

 

[Redbot]

this sounds awesome!

Loving everyone involvement and seeing folks sharing their own AutoMacro creations. That said, I'm am making a huge change to the macros and everything will have to be re-written to accommodate the changes. It may suck at first, but the end of it we will have a very documented and granular macro system that ANYONE can make or modify for any class. I don't want to go into much more detail but here is the beginning of the macro to see where I'm going with it I plan to have the first iteration of this out shortly after the expansion launch and be jamming out some of the patches over the holidays.

#include autosubs.inc
#include auto_${Me.Class.ShortName}.inc

Sub Main
	/doevents flush
	/call ClassVarSetup
	/call VarSetup
	/call AutoVersionCheck 5
	/call AliasSetup
        /call ClassAliasSetup
	/call CheckSpells
	/call CheckBuffs

Yeah I was gonna make this suggestion before of a main macro that call's a class inc, that way it is modular. Have spell casts handled via an inc and burn in the class inc and the movement controlled via another inc. That way all your calls go to one place and easier troubleshooting and Noob would like this, It will be cleaner code and smaller footprint.

Yup, exactly what I'm doing

Removing backward compatibility of Kiss Aliases prior to 9.2.4

All these aliases should be updated by now and I don't like extra code bloating the macro.
