This is the start of a month-long project to get our Very Vanilla macros sorted and updated for 2017.

If you maintain a macro on this site, it should be included. If there's a macro that needs to be here, please reply. Razkle's EoK nuke isn't in here for example, we need to fix that.

This is the current list of macros in the VV compile. We haven't cleaned these out since ~2012.

What needs to go? What's in sore need of updating?

Alctol.mac
ArrayTest.mac
Arrows.mac
auto.mac
autobard.mac
AutoCleric.mac
autohate.mac
autosubs.inc

Re: Reviewing the macros in the RG Compile

Missing the following in the list--- MQ2EQBC, MQ2heals.... Also I know this is slightly dated and this is just my input --- the Alaran.mac for RoF language quest I use that all the time.

That's exactly what I want to hear, what macros people still find useful. Thank you!
 
I would love to see someone combine bait dispenser with hyper fish to make an all in one fishing machine.
 
I would humbly suggest that KeepToonsBuffed.mac be added to the compile release, I wrote it specifically with it working hand in hand with KissAssist.mac for PL'ing lowbie toons.

Lowbie toons in group using KissAssist.mac, PL'er healing and maintaining higher level buffs while out of group.

Any other of the macros I have written for the community are not essential and certainly not worthy to be incorporated into our official compile release.

MQ2Cast_Spell_Routines.inc and Ninjadvloot.inc MUST remain in the release! .. that's not an opinion.. its a fact.

KissAssist uses Ninjadvloot.inc for looting routines.

MQ2Cast_Spell_Routines.inc is used by many, many, many of the communities casting related macros, which have not been converted to use the Plugin.
(Although in honesty.. it takes all of 3 minutes to convert them to use MQ2Cast.... lol) But thinking proactively and wishing to avoid "Why won't this macro work??" threads.


Alaran.mac is very very nice .... but I would not consider it essential for functioning overall and merited for inclusion in the release... its there when you need it on the macro's forum.
EoNuke.mac should be included in my opinion.
 
I use Ctaylor22's Barter macro at least once a week: https://www.redguides.com/community...inventory-the-easy-way?highlight=barter+macro

I have my own macro I use frequently too, but I don't want a creator tag for it or anything (When you log in at cresent reach it claims Gift of Legacy of the Lost, ports to PoK, grabs Fellowship insignia, runs to GUild lobby and binds): https://www.redguides.com/community...em-in-a-window?p=306139&viewfull=1#post306139


Only macro I think we desperately need here is one for fishing - if anyone wants to make a fishing macro that fully works that'd be fucking amazing
 
potions.mac is not super broken, i sorta fixed it, what is super broken though is that it calls a buy function from buy.inc but that function is also in common.inc which it includes both files.

i think thats hwat been causing things to crash for soem people and now its allways crashings, maybe we need a clean up of common and buy inc. and maybe even havem them split out, or combined to be the newest changes etc.

thanks for the report! In what way is it broken?

Last time I tried to use it to price my trader it seemed to work fine until it hit the first duplicate item. That's when I got the already priced echo and then it turned on trader mode without pricing the rest of the inventory

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nevermind I found Tone's update today and its working well except for #warning I'm still having an issue with

Did you post your potions.mac? Don't see it anywhere.

Also, is anyone interested in looking into buy.inc & common.inc? I can offer treats, shoot me a PM.

Fishing macro would be great, and same deal with buy.inc & common.inc, if anyone is interested let me know.

I added Tone's fixes to bazaar.mac to the VV compile
 
can take a look into it later it sorta doesnt crash me all the time now, but will need to test it thoroughly
 
Literally all I use from base VV macros...
Not that I speak for everyone, but these would be my "preferred" priority list at least.
Code: 
auto.mac
autobard.mac
AutoCleric.mac
autohate.mac
autosubs.inc
autowarrior.mac
bazaar.inc
bazaar.mac
common.inc
Inventory.mac
kissassist.mac
kissassist1004e15.mac
kissassistbuffs.inc
MQ2Cast_Spell_Routines.inc
Ninjadvloot.inc
scribe.mac
sellstuff.mac
 
okay figured out some crash issuess with potions.mac tried fixing them, should be fixed, but not the nicest way to do it, but it works and its simple.

also changed buy.inc and common.inc and removed subs from common.inc that buy.inc did better, got rid of more crashes that way.

so if your macro uses common.inc it wont buy stuff no more, all that is only going on in buy.inc

Further testings has shown there is many things wrong that i didnt notice to being with, trying to rewrite the combine sub a bit, and also adding support for making prismatic dyes in pok

gate and ivu pots should work as that was the pots i tested alot, and had no faults when i posted the previous post.

I am horrible with code or I would write and submit the idea instead of just the idea. is there a way to change the callout in the forage plugin to fishing, and add a check for fishing pole and bait? Then you could use the same idea with the keep and destroy list in an ini. I have a friend who used to play and might be able to do the code asking him but just curious if it would work.
 
Anyone know of something that's not working that isn't KA related that comes with the VV compile that they would like me to look at when I have a chance?

Spawnmaster /vt sound that is no longer playing on the onspawn command
 
MQ2SpawnMaster is a plugin, sadly I don't work with plugins at this time. The title for the thread referenced macros so I assumed it was implied. I shall rephrase, are there any macros that require repair in the VV compile that isn't KA related.
 
Hello! First time poster, and I know very little about the platform, but the Alcohol tolerance macro may need updated. When I started using the one that came with my download, it just continuously opened my bag in slot 8 and closed it. I looked at an old thread from Maskoi with the updated code posted, and it looks like the one in the compile is missing this line:

/useitem ${Booze}
 
should have someone test my potion.mac vs the included potions.mac and then replace the potions.mac with mine cause mine should work and supposedly does not crash people
