Binds have huge potential to increase accessibility. I've helped a number of players get around physical limitations. Nothing is really going to remove the need to make fast, accurate actions, but the keymapping can certainly be moved around to suit one hand, or an unusual console posture, or the like.

Okay. Very much "twój cyrk, twoje małpy," here. But a few parting observations: If you look over the many "tools" and add-ons listed in this forum and discussed here, you'll find that many are in late generations, sometimes their dozenth major release — because the creator was willing to listen to feedback, and implement well-thought suggestions and expansions, and try to aim for that sweet spot between "as easy to use as possible" and "brings as much value as possible for the effort." Most of these are from very long-time player/contributors who learned or discovered some aspect of the game that could be improved by a "tool" and put both their own effort and what they could learn from prior efforts into it. And then took feedback to improve it, sometimes across years or a decade. But you will also find quite a few "one and done" contributions, mostly by newcomers. These tend to have sunk to the lower levels of the forum, largely forgotten and ignored, and any good ideas they might have represented more or less lost. So don't overlook the primary point of my comments: I think you have some interesting and novel ideas with this. But posting one enormously complex version that needs a 3500-word startup guide, and covers a lot of already well-trodden ground in a quirky approach... is just a start in this community.

You crack me up.

Chicken Run popmenu added to the entry. I also streamlined the run; there's not really any advantage to using a random Ouro portal.

For anyone who hasn't spotted it, I wrote up a "chicken run" that a brand-new alt can run in less than 10 minutes, with no risk of combat or defeat, and come out with the Ouro portal, the LRTP and the Fast Travel menu. It's in Guides. (ETA: now streamlined and with a popmenu.) I actually find it fun to run with each of my existing alts... much more so than slogging out all the Atlas Badges, IMHO.

*ahem*

It's odd, but I am finding this run makes an amusing mini-mission to run with each of my alts, even those who long ago got both transporters. 🙂

Okay. I'll just note that "This is for people that want to delve deeper into the world of binds and macros but are maybe too confused on where to start." and "I stated at the start that this was going to be overwhelming." are somewhat contradictory, Either you're attempting to explain it to those who (despite all prior info and art) find binds confusing, or you're taking things to an unprecedented level. I suggest you can't do both. Binds, overall, are not that complex once the basics are understood. Building an enormous, convoluted "management structure" around them that is neither a tutorial/reference (as is my guide, and others) or a "bind builder" (as are a couple of tools already in existence) is... an interesting approach. Not one word of my posts are meant to be any kind of attack or discouragement — you might re-read my second paragraph above before assuming any such things.

Gnomon is an island. 🙂 Okay, I figured "big arching Fooblewetzer" was self-teaching enough, in context of standing there looking around, but maybe not. Small correction made.

None of the commands save the actual chat contents. Those two command pairs, mostly the first, should save the window and tab configurations. I'd have to experiment (further than I have) to see how the chat and window saves interact. I think the window stuff just sets the chat window/s location and size, the chat save/load does everything internal to the windows. I'd have to go roll up a new, unconfigured alt to make sure. ETA: Just ran up a newbie, and my chat windows were pre-arranged probably because I do have chat.txt saved. That should be your complete answer... Also ran the Chicken Run in about three minutes flat, which was my real objective. Recommended as all new alts' first effort.

I might be missing something, but /chatsave includes my added channels. When I checked for the above answer, I was amused to see old, old channels I didn't even know existed any more. What *exactly* does /chatsave + /wdwsave from a configured alt not pass to /chatload + /wdwload new alt?

/chatsave and /chatload, writing to chat.txt in the common saved-files area? Works/shares chat settings fine for my alts. Not quite sure how this and /wdwsave - /wdwload work for the chat windows, but I am pretty sure the above does both while the window commands just save window size and position.

Hey, if England's New Forest has been called that since the Domesday Book.... One heads-up: The two launchers manage the game file structure differently. If you've been using binds and menus and so forth, the old launcher put/looked for those files in another folder. You now want them in [GAME ROOT]\settings\live.

Edited the directions to include this as an option. If you don't just happen to find an Ouro portal after the first steps, going through RV is probably speedier and doesn't depend on any help.

Doesn't RV have an entry level restriction? (Nope, just a warning from the gate guard.) Good point. But even before the recent playersplosion, it was not hard to get someone to drop a portal at either Liberty Plaza or (via tram) Talos. I asked yesterday, with maybe 40 players in Liberty, and nothing happened. Asked again, got "What's wrong with the four behind you?" Uh... oh. IME, the crowd there is generous to show-off about dropping portals; I do almost every time I pass through and one's not up. So pretty to see a whole forest of them. 🙂
