Hi, I really am trying to understand how to utilize this. I am constantly working on my spellbook trying to keep it organized by spell type/level/alphabetical... Can this utility make that easier for me?

Thanks.

Anyone actually using this? I generally use the Right click on the slots to mem, but there is something cathartic about having a nicely sorted spell book. I did it on my main, but now I am 6boxing and there is just no way Im doing that, haha Just curious if anyone has had much success with this?

Been trying to figure it out over an hour. Can get it kind of working, using the movepagetofront seems to work sometimes. Playing with the settings in ini files can get me different results moving a page of spells to a different page, but seems to have a ton of errors. Cleanup wont work for me at all and thats mostly what i wanted this for. I wonder if its because its so out of date that it cant be used now :/

Edit: after a little more messing around with the spellbookutility.ini file in the config folder in your macroquest folder, i found that these settings let me use the movepagetofront and cleanup commands:

[Internal]
MacroName=SpellBookUtility
MacroVersion=v2.0.0
AliasSBU=TRUE
[General]
FixedPages=1-2
MoveToDirection=FrontToBack
MoveToPages=5-120
NumberOfPages=120
NumberOfSpellsPerPage=8
StepDelay=5

Seems it doesnt actually organize by spell type, level, etc its just organizing them by lumping them all together. So still some utility there but i guess asking to completely organize every single classes spells automatically is asking a bit much.
Also, dont change NumberOfPages=120. Nothing will work if you do. You can change Fixedpages=x-x to change which spells wont get messed with during cleanup. You can change MoveToPage=x-x to set where you want a page to be moved to with the movetopage command, and what pages the spells will be automaticall moved to during cleanup. Kind of confusing to figure out at first, but definitely still useful to move a whole page of spells with a command rather than sorting everything by hand.
