Macros in game?
May 12th, 2011 at 8:25am
Print Post  
Is there anyway to create macros in DDO, short of special Keyboards? I play on a laptop, so getting a G11 or G15 is out of the question. Is there any way to use keymapping to do this?

Example: I wanna set up a macro to auto-equip all my tank gear, then another to switch to Haggle/UMD gear, then another for DPS, etc.

Why is getting a G11 or G15 out of the question?

You can hook up an external keyboard to a laptop via a USB port.

In fact, even if you don't get a G11 or G15, you'd be much better off than you are now by just getting a cheap full-size keyboard to connect to it.   Having the full key-pad gives you 16 more keys to map to toolbars.

I'm poor. No new keyboards.

My laptop has a fullsize keyboard with Numpad. I'll look into it some more later.

There is plenty of free software available that will allow you to create and replay macros.

Here's the thing I'm having issue with.

Keybinding is easy enough. I have mouse buttons to spare.

But macroing (for this case) is about using multiple Keybindings at the same time or in quick succession, such as changing gear sets quickly.

The most advanced computer peripherals I have are these( Cockpit/Mech sims are my guilty habit.) . I still keep them even over the newer versions( they are very outdated) because they are comfortable and have a see-saw button on the throttle for controlling pitch and yaw that I have yet to find on other units.
As far as DDO goes: Two button and a wheel mouse works for me. Don't even know whats hot-keyed.

BTW: Steel Battalion was the best Mech sim game out there so far. Also used the most complex Xbox controller as well:

The most broken epic PL in the game is the ridiculous AC buff from martial PLs. But when you include all the inherent benefits from reincarnation, the thing is above the roof. The benefit from TR was supposed to be minimal, but now it is game breaking. start a new character and you will feel, you will get raped in heroics.

Personally I think lower heroics on new characters are harder than Legendary Elite content on a character with good gear and has all destinies farmed.

Wow.

Have you EVER gone to Law School Feyn? Have you EVER been asked by a United States Senator who is now the Vice President of the United States to write a paper just for him on a particular topic of Constitutional Law for his use as a Senator? Have you ever been asked to help a very notable Harvard PhD turned Constitutional scholar with his very-well received book on Legal Philosophy and Constitutional Revolutions? Have you ever been offered a job as a Deputy Attorney General BEFORE you even graduated Law School?

No? Then STFU you fucking amateur.

Pretty sure that the fact that a service can be hacked doesn't make it the "community chest".
