Title: Macros
Post by Joppa on 01/27/04 at 12:18:41

It would be cool if you were able to name each macro set, instead of the Set 1, Set 2 etc. etc. Like maybe you could double click it or something, then name it to Triplex, or Training, or something along those lines...

Also it would be VERY useful if each macro set was accessable without having to go into Character options>Macros>set1. I mean for selecting a set, not changing the macros. I think the best spot would be along the top of the nightmist screen, a little to the right of Help/Update. Each set would be a little button and you could highlight the set you want to be using.

This would be useful for say if you are training, and you have your training macro set selected, and all the sudden someone is trying to pk you, you would want to switch to your Defense/fighting macro set. Having to go into character options and so on could take just enough time to effect if you're going to stay alive or not.

I agree, they are both very good suggestions.

I think if you had /macroset 1/2/3/4 then you wouldn't need to give them a name and it would be cool :)

The problem being, you still have to type it in for each and every one of your crits. If it was allocated to the Numpad (and come on, is it that hard to fix your Numlock) you could do it with a superfast singular keystroke on each of your crits.

I dont want to use 3 of my F-keys just for changing sets.. got too many macros to do that. :-/ How about just switch between them with left and right arrow? Or maybe Alt + right/left arrow (since most people use the alt button to switch screens anyways).

or u could put a button some where on the nm app u press and it would go to the next set as well as change number to show what set macro is on...

I think shift/ctrl/alt + 1/2/3/4 would be the best way to switch macro sets. It would also be nice to have a label on the NM main screen that would switch depending on the macro set.
