==== Brief ====

−
For all my macros I use [[ACTools]] which is a easy to use program once you've had a little practice. With all of my templates you will need to make some small ajustments based on your computer.
+
All my macros are programmed in ACTools which requires very little experience to use. You will however need to configure a few things so its best if you read up below on how to record mouse locations. Other information such as how each of the commands work will '''not''' be added. This page is simple a place for others to obtain my work.

All of my code is free for anyone to download, change, use. It is nice however if you republish or alter my code that a link back is provided to the original here.

Everything provided here is "as it comes" meaning little or no support is available if you can't get it to work yourself. All macros come pre-configured for a 1280x1024 size screen (non-widescreen) with the ATITD window maximized.

If you have a problem which you cannot resolve or a request for a new macro then please leave a message on my [[User_Talk:Viscis|discussion]] page.

 +
 
 +
== Configuration ==
 +
 
 +
=== General ===
 +
AC Tools requires the following conditions to be able to run commands correctly.
 +
 
 +
* The ATITD window must be in focus for the duration of the macro
 +
* The chat window within ATITD must be minimized.
 +
* The mouse must not be moved whist the macro is running
 +
* After doing the following you must re-configure all mouse positions:
 +
** Change the screen resolution
 +
** Change the ATITD game window size
  
−
'''Whilst using any macro that requires movement (grass, flax, etc) you must close chat down ingame and have movement keys enabled for it to work correctly.'''
 
  
−
The ATITD window must also have focus the whole time you are macroing because keyboard inputs are sent directly. Each macro has a 10 second delay from when you hit start so that you can correctly focus the window and position yourself.
+
=== Mouse ===
 +
Mouse positioning is all about screen size. If your screen runs in 1024x768 the mouse position of the grass icon will be different to someone running in 1280x1024. For this reason a certain amount of configuration is required in order to use any of my macros.
  
−
==== Configuration (Mouse) ====
+
When configuring a mouse position simply have the ACTools windows focused and press '''CTRL-M''' whilst hovering over the item you wish to record the location for. See the image below for an example. Any location within the red square would be acceptable.
−
For any of my macros to work correctly with your system you will need to configure the location of certain icons / menus using ACTools. For example see the pictures below.
 
  
 
[[Image:Fill_jugs.jpg]]
 
[[Image:Fill_jugs.jpg]]
−
[[Image:Max.jpg]]
 
  
−
Both of these images show the area where your mouse should be when trying to get a mouse location for ACTools. With ACTools in focus hover over the location requests (max button, jugs/grass/clay icon and press '''CTRL-M'''. This will record the location of the mouse to your macro.
 
  
−
==== Configuration (Delay/Keydown) ====
+
=== Delay/Keydown ===
−
Time values are recoreded in milliseconds. Therefore 1000 in the macro is approximatly 1 second of real time.  
+
Time values are recorded in milliseconds. Therefore 1000 in the macro is approximatly 1 second of real time. Sometimes delays are added in the program to allow for lagg or a task (like picking up grass requires around 2 seconds of time). Delays are also used to calculate distance within the macro. For example holding the up key for 1 second moves the character a distance equal to 1 second.
  
 
<pre>
 
<pre>
−
Delay 1000
+
Delay 1000 // 1 second
 +
KeyDown {UP} 1000 // Press UP key for 1 second
 
</pre>
 
</pre>
  
−
The above code therefore delays the program for 1 second, either to allow movement or just to prevent error due to server lagg. Sometimes you may need to alter delays in order to achieve better efficence or simply because of location differences.
+
Most people will not need to configure delays, but if you are having problems with lagg you may wish to increase the delays. As a side note '''all''' my programs start with a 10 second delay to allow you to tab to the ATITD window and align your screen.

The Keydown command can also carry a delay component. This above command is equivilent to holding down the Up Arrow key for 10 seconds. Obviously you may need to change this depending on how far you must run for certain resources to become available.

You need to configure; The fill jugs with water location, the max button location, the distance in seconds from water to a clay patch, the number of jugs you are carrying and depending on your game window scale the menu for dropping items (see my quick guide to menu macroing [[here]])
 
  
−
Please note you will need to start with empty jugs for this to work correctly.

If you keep the chest window open and stay within range (i.e. when harvesting some wood build a chest close by) select the "browse" button and select the item you will be depositing. Then simple add into the macro a mouse position for the "1000" button and a left click to drop each cycle.

Brief

All my macros are programmed in ACTools which requires very little experience to use. You will however need to configure a few things so its best if you read up below on how to record mouse locations. Other information such as how each of the commands work will not be added. This page is simple a place for others to obtain my work.

All of my code is free for anyone to download, change, use. It is nice however if you republish or alter my code that a link back is provided to the original here.

Versions

Only the most up-to-date version of my macros will be available here. The reason I will be adding version numbers is so that when updates are made you can easily see if you are using the latest version.

Difficulty

Macros are also labelled with a difficulty to configure level: Basic --> Medium --> Advanced

Download

AC Tools can be downloaded here.

Help

Everything provided here is "as it comes" meaning little or no support is available if you can't get it to work yourself. All macros come pre-configured for a 1280x1024 size screen (non-widescreen) with the ATITD window maximized.

If you have a problem which you cannot resolve or a request for a new macro then please leave a message on my discussion page.

Please refrain from contacting me in-game with problems/issues but thank you's are always welcome.

Configuration

General

AC Tools requires the following conditions to be able to run commands correctly.

  • The ATITD window must be in focus for the duration of the macro
  • The chat window within ATITD must be minimized.
  • The mouse must not be moved whist the macro is running
  • After doing the following you must re-configure all mouse positions:
    • Change the screen resolution
    • Change the ATITD game window size


Mouse

Mouse positioning is all about screen size. If your screen runs in 1024x768 the mouse position of the grass icon will be different to someone running in 1280x1024. For this reason a certain amount of configuration is required in order to use any of my macros.

When configuring a mouse position simply have the ACTools windows focused and press CTRL-M whilst hovering over the item you wish to record the location for. See the image below for an example. Any location within the red square would be acceptable.

Delay/Keydown

Time values are recorded in milliseconds. Therefore 1000 in the macro is approximatly 1 second of real time. Sometimes delays are added in the program to allow for lagg or a task (like picking up grass requires around 2 seconds of time). Delays are also used to calculate distance within the macro. For example holding the up key for 1 second moves the character a distance equal to 1 second. 

Delay 1000 // 1 second
KeyDown {UP} 1000 // Press UP key for 1 second

Most people will not need to configure delays, but if you are having problems with lagg you may wish to increase the delays. As a side note all my programs start with a 10 second delay to allow you to tab to the ATITD window and align your screen.

Macros

Limestone

v0.01 - Easy

Harvests limestone each time the edncurance timer is refreshed.

Configuration:

  • Limestone icon mouse location

Notes:

  • Take some chisels

Grass

v0.01 - Easy

This macro causes your avatar to run forwards and backwards between two positions collecting grass.

Configuration:

  • Grass Icon mouse location

Notes:

  • Position your character on grass!

Wood

v0.01 - Medium

This macro gathers wood from trees in a small area by abusing the fact your avatar will automatically run to each of the trees when click.

Configuration:

  • Turn on auto-gather wood
  • Pin each tree window to the screen and record the mouse locations

Notes:

  • You may wish to gather grass in between pulls to maximize efficiency (this hasn't been coded yet but its on my todo list)
  • Find a bunch of high yield trees to maximize this macro

Flax

Planting

v0.01 - Medium

This is probably my favorite macro as it allows flax to be layed in perfect beds of 10, 20 or 200. For best results align your character North before starting the macro.

There are two loops, one controls rows and one controls flax per row. I have labeled them A and B in the code.

A will always be +1 higher than the value you set (set BOTH loop values identically) so for example 

 loop 5

will lay 6 flax per row. Because each loop consists of a up and down component B is always *2 number of rows. For example 

 loop 2

will create 4 rows of flax.

So when A = 5 and B = 2 you will create a square of 6 x 4 flax (20 flax)

Seeding (Incomplete)

v0.03 - Advanced

This is the initial code for harvesting flax seeds from a bed. It does not work 100% correctly but does manage to harvest seeds from a bed you plant. The ideal conditions are below.

  • 1280x1024 screen size
  • F5 camera fully zoomed out
  • Flax plant pinned to screen with mouse hovered over
  • Character facing exacly N, S, E or W with camera angle 0 degrees from that rotation

Some user input is still required but i am hoping to resolve this soon. I have also made the leap to procedures and constants to make my work more user friendly. Feel free to mess with the constants in order to change size/dimensions or timings rather than having to edit each line of code.

Flint

v0.01 -- Advanced

This macro assumes that you are standing near water and there is a clay patch infront of you.

Configuration:

  • Fill jugs mouse position
  • Max button position
  • Distance in seconds from water to clay (i.e. run forward distance)
  • As above but to return to the body of water
  • The number of jugs you are carrying

Notes:

  • You may also need to re-create the menu mouse locations in order to drop clay correctly.
