MacroBank

Version: r71

by: Odlaw [More]

What this addon does
MacroBank is an addon to allow you to save macros for future use.

Features

Create macros inside the macro bank without having to create them in the main macro window first.
Macros can be given a category to group similar macros together.
Macros can also be given a description to distinguish them between other macros with the same macro name.
Change both the macro text and icon in the macro bank.
Save a macro from the main macro window directly to the macro bank.
Load a macro from the macro bank to your main macro list.
Replace an existing macro with a macro from the macro bank.
Delete a macro from the macro bank.
Load macro groups when swapping talents.
Send macros to other MacroBank users.

Usage
Opening MacroBank

Open your normal macro window (/macro)

Saving Macros into the MacroBank

Select the macro from the main macro window.
If you have some categories already defined in the MacroBank, select the category for which to save the macro into. (If no category is selected/defined, a temporary category will be created)
Click Save.

Creating Macros in the MacroBank

Select a category in the MacroBank for which to create a new macro into. (If no category is selected/defined, a temporary category will be created)
Click Create.

Loading macros from the MacroBank to your main macro window

Select the macro from the MacroBank you wish to use.
Select the tab in the main macro window you wish to load the macro into (General or Character Specific)
Click Load.
If the Macro with the same name exists, it will be replaced, otherwise a new macro will be created if there is enough room for another macro.

Replacing macros from the MacroBank into your main macro window

Select the macro from the MacroBank you wish to use.
Select the macro in the main macro window you wish to replace.
Click Replace.

Deleting macros in the MacroBank

Select the macro you wish to delete.
Click Delete.

Changing Categories, Description, and Names of macros in the MacroBank

Select the macro you wish to change.
Type in the new category, description, or name of the macro in the corresponding edit box.
Press Enter to save it. (Why not as you type? Description/Category is used in the scroll window)

Changing the text of the macro in the MacroBank

Select the macro you wish to change.
Type in the new macro text.
Changes should be saved as you type.

Sending a macro to other users of MacroBank

Select the macro you wish to send.
Click the 'Send To' button.
Type in the name of the user and click 'Ok.'

Notes

Shift-Clicking spells from the spell book will not insert text into MacroBank's edit boxes. This is code defined in the spell book, and I'm not sure I want to go messing with it. (Same goes for items from your bags or equipped inventory)
MacroBank's window normally opens to the right of your main macro window. You may move it by dragging it to another location.

I think it would be cool to have a Macro"Book" for the MacroBank. I have to tab out a lot to get macros for my various classes and it's a pain.

Tondef A Cyclonian Forum posts: 40 File comments: 57 Uploads: 4	Lost Functions since 3.3 Since 3.3 I don't have the ability to create new macro groups, or edit in Macro Bank anymore. I have attempted to reinstall without deleting the saved variables with no success. The addon is not throwing any errors, just the buttons and the functions are gone. If I create a macro normally I can still save it to and load it from the bank. __________________ The strength of the wolf is the pack, and the strength of the pack is the wolf.

Strange.
I downloaded the archive from here (checking for corrupt archive), and had no issues.
I deleted my saved variables with no issues.
I then deleted my entire addons folder and saved variables, and still no issues.

Hrmmmm
You say the buttons and functions are gone... I'm not quite sure what functions you are referring to.. The only buttons that should appear if you have no macros selected inside MacroBank, are 'Options', 'Create' and 'Save'.
If you have a macro selected in MacroBank, you should additionally get 'Load', 'Replace', 'Delete' and 'Send To'.

If you are not getting these buttons without errors is perhaps another mod has obscurred them.. Do you have skinner? I've had issues with that addon and one of my other addons in the past.

Now, if you do get the buttons.. and can not create macro groups... My only thoughts are that you might be thinking the 'Create' button creates a macro group. The 'create' button doesn't create a macro group, but a blank macro inside MacroBank. It defaults to the 'Temp Category' or whatever category you are currently in.

To 'create' a category, you need to select an existing macro inside MacroBank, edit the 'category', and press enter to save. It should create / move the macro you were using to the new category.

If none of that helps and no other errors are present.. I am not quite sure what might be happening. I'll look into it further. What was the last version that was working for you?

edit: ok.. downloaded skinner and that didn't cause any problems either.

coldsun A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 37 Uploads: 0	id like to see a button to CREATE an (empty/new) CATEGORY before i load/save macros to the bank. Would make it alot easier to sort stuff, instead of saving a macro to a current existing category (usually the temp thing), then clicking on it and editiing it to a new category = uncomfortable and circumstantial, plus it CHANGES (=overwriting/deleting) the (former) existing category when only 1 macro is contained. This is not really well thought-through mho as it is. anyway , it is a nice addon and would be really handy if ud add the functionality p.s just see, when r-klicking to change the current category, it would be handy if the current category's name would be inserted already so its faster to fix typos then have to rewrite the whole category's name. p.p.s some more things : - pls add an option to delete whole categories with macros included (ofc with some kind of warning if the user really want to do that) - add a warning before loading a whole category into the macro tab, 1 wrong klick and the macro tab is messed up. Mho too dangerous the way it works now. regards Last edited by coldsun : 02-01-11 at 08:37 PM.
