Report: Macros losing text


Cybling

Recommended Posts

Seeing an intermittent problem.  I have macros defined as:
 

/macro nova "goto_tray 9$$powexec_toggleon Bright Nova"

/macro human "goto_tray 1$$powexec_toggleoff Bright Nova"

 

Those macros work for a while.  but at some point it loses everything after the "9" in the macro.

 

Other behaiours noted:

  • Rarely do both macros exhibit the problem at the same time
  • The behaviour seems to happen more frequently when I zone (go in/out of a mission, take the railway, etc.  Maybe also supergroup base, but not sure about that)

Try reversing them 

/macro nova "powexec_toggleon Bright Nova$$goto_tray 9"

/macro human "powexec_toggleoff Bright Nova$$goto_tray 1"

 

I know on my Kheldians, I use a macro toggle to try two, use the power button to form change, and then use another macro to go to the tray with my form change powers.

To switch back, I have a macro in the tray with my form change powers to toggle back to tray 2, turn off the form power, and then use a macro toggle back to tray 1.

 

I can't remember if I did that as a workaround or not.

 

I have seen this happen with other macro combinations.

I make IB (innocent bystander) outfits and use macros to switch back and forth.

/macro IB  "cce # ccemote$$goto_tray 9"

/macro Super "cce # ccemote$$goto_tray 1"

(with the # being the costom slot and the ccemote being one of the costume emotes)

If I try to add in a $$local saytomethingthatissupposedtobewittyorwhatnot, then part of the macro will disappear after random number of uses.

I might have seen it happen in other situations as well, but I can't remember specifics.

If someone posts a reply quoting me and I don't reply, they may be on ignore.

(It seems I'm involved with so much at this point that I may not be able to easily retrieve access to all the notifications)

Some players know that I have them on ignore and are likely to make posts knowing that is the case.

But the fact that I have them on ignore won't stop some of them from bullying and harassing people, because some of them love to do it. There is a group that have banded together to target forum posters they don't like. They think that this behavior is acceptable.

Ignore (in the forums) and /ignore (in-game) are tools to improve your gaming experience. Don't feel bad about using them.
