Hi guys! I've been wanting to teach myself a bit more about writing macros, and decided the easiest way to do that would be to pick a project and teach myself how to do it. At the same time, I wanted to farm up massive amounts of mid-level tradeskill materials for maxing out tradeskills on my SK. What I eventually landed on was this - a macro to run around certain zones and melee mobs to death. I wanted it to be as modular as possible and to be dependent on as few plugins as possible. I like to think I've done a pretty good job of that - it should work for any high level melee dependent character, and the only plugins it requires are MQ2Melee, and MQ2MoveUtils. At the moment, it is compatible with Halls of Honor and Crypt of Decay, though I plan to add more zones in the future. I've tested it in both zones overnight on a 105 warrior in T1 TDS gear and woken up to find the macro still plugging away with no issues.
Essentially, it works thusly: It detects what zone you're in and runs your toon through a set of waypoints for that zone, stopping to melee mobs to death as it picks up aggro. If your HP drops below 90%, it'll sit down and med. It's probably not the most efficient way to farm tradeskill items, but it is easy and requires almost no setup. Just click off any damage shields you may have, and create two bandolier slots - One named "Tome" with a Tome of the Heroes Journey in your primary slot and no other weapons (Any non-weapon you can put in your primary would work, the tome is just convenient since every character can summon one right to them) and one named "Kill" with your weapons. This is to prevent you from being summoned and getting stuck.
As you move from place to place, it'll echo the destination it's moving to as well as when it gets there. If you don't want to see that, change the line "/declare debug int outer 1" to "/declare debug int outer 0"
Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy this and are able to use it. I'm always open to suggestions, criticism, and requests (if they're in my power - I'm still a complete novice to writing macros)
To do:
The macro:
(available below as a direct download as well)
EDIT: I just use advloot to loot, so you'll want to watch it run the first lap or two in each zone and set up what to loot vs ignore.
And as always, running a bot fully AFK is always a risk. I highly recommend using MQ2Posse, and not being a dick. I take no responsibility if you get yourself banned.

To do:
Rich (BB code):
-Add new zones
-Refine the waypoints in Crypt of decay, it likes to briefly run into walls
-Set it up to pull waypoints from an .ini file rather than being hardcoded in
-Come up with an easier way to copy waypoints over than MQ2LogThe macro:

/returnEDIT: I just use advloot to loot, so you'll want to watch it run the first lap or two in each zone and set up what to loot vs ignore.
And as always, running a bot fully AFK is always a risk. I highly recommend using MQ2Posse, and not being a dick. I take no responsibility if you get yourself banned.
