Macro'in 101. With AcTool.

Alrighty for you new people who wish to macro... REMEMBER, macroing is banable, so do it at your own risk. However 99.8% of the time you wont get banned and .0199% of the time you will be kicked from the server, .0001% of the time you will may receive a day or 2 ban.. but let it be known you CAN get banned for it.


Now to the actual macroing, theres several programs that you can use to macro, My Personal favorite is AcTool and the one I'm most familiar with. which can be downloaded here: http://www.actool.net/

Before writting a script you will want to do the following: Options> Input Bindings> Interaction tab> and then you will want to change "Unsheathe Object" to something you wont be useing, Mine personally is "o". Doing this will make it so you can always have a staff / melee weapon out, but you will have to have multiple of the same weapon on you for this to work.

Hot bar set up: you want your weapons/spells on your hotbar. Ill be doing a melee/heal other macro as an example of how to write a macro using this program.

My Hotbar:
1= 2h sword
2= staff
3= heal other

now when starting off you instal the program, run it and then you will have to write a script to be run. the begining is the only thing that needs to be exactly as I say.

Line 1:
Line 2: SetActiveWindow Darkfall Online
Line 3:

Now is where the fun part begins, you can either set the macro to run until you shut it off by putting While 1=1 on Line 4, or set it up for a certain number of loops by putting in Loop # of times you want it to repeat.

so line 4 should look something like the following

Line 4: While 1=1
or
Line 4: Loop 200

the next lines will be the bulk of your macro, and what you will actually be doing. When writing a delay 1000= 1 second.

Line 5: Keys 1
Line 6: Delay 500
Line 7: Keys o

so far the macro has attached your melee weapon and unsheathed.

Line 8: LeftClick
Line 9: Delay 1000
Line 10: LeftClick
Line 11: Delay 1000

Now the macro has swing 2 times and waited 1 second after each swing.

Line 12: Keys 2
Line 13: Delay 500
Line 14: Keys 3
Line 15: Delay 500
Line 16: Leftclick
Line 17: Delay 5000
Line 18: Leftclick
Line 19: Delay 5000
Line 20: End

In this set the Macro attached your staff, choose heal other, and casted it 2 times while ending the macro and making it start from the begining.

And thats about it, you can change it up and do alot with this program, so GL and just ask if you have any other questions.

Just remember you have to include the casting time, and the spells CD if you plan on casting the same spell after each other.
