These macros are provided in source code form, and will need to be compiled for your particular computer. You will need a suitable C++ compiler (e.g. g++), the xorg-dev header files and libraries, and your X server must support the RECORD extension.

Further macros will be added to the source code archive as they are cleaned up for general use.

Note: they were developed for one specific linux and ATITD setup, and may completely fail to work for anyone else. The source code is ugly and not properly designed. It may send your avatar running off to Queen's Retreat unexpectedly. Chat me between steps if this does happen :)

Some general principles of operation:

  • The ATITD window should be completely visible - setting it to "always on top" may be useful
  • The Pause or Break key aborts any of these macros
  • They all run from the command-line, though desktop icons can be created for them
  • They do not move the mouse pointer, but you should aim to minimize motion of the pointer within the ATITD window while they are running
  • Moving or resizing the ATITD window during operation is not a good idea
  • They do not interfere with chatting; you can use F9/F10 to switch chat tabs without moving the mouse

Slate/Grass/Clay macro notes

This expects the icons to be in the larger size, on the right-hand side of the screen. You may need to change interface options.
