EC command to fire front cannon

[mihali]

Is there a "say" or verbal command to fire front cannon in EC, or a macro sequence that would do fire a cannon, specifically the front one?

• Fire (You can fire all cannons on port or broadside by saying 'Fire Port Broadside' (left) or 'Fire Starboard Broadside' (right)

*Wonders if one was to say "Fire Bow" (forward) if that would work?? Can't do that right now, but maybe another can play with that idea??

I tried "Fire Bow" "Fire Bow Broadside" and a few other silly things that I shall not repeat. no joy on the bow only so far.

The enhanced client is like a Swiss Army knife in terms of macro capabilities and different commands. I have previously been a strictly classic client user, and I was not aware of this. Now that I'm getting it to enhanced client is like a completely different game, as long as one can put up a little bit with graphics that you're not used to. That is fine for me not much of graphics/deco person and much more of the functional player.
I tried different combinations of commands to see if the cannon in the front of the boat can be activated, and I do have one command that actually will open the cannon from any place on the boat however in order to load the cannon gump one has to be really close by. No way to fire the cannon or prepare the cannon so far with a simple command. The idea was to fire the cannon with one keypress, while you manipulating the boat with the other hand. There may be something that has to do with the code that you can actually program or allowed program into the EC's script language. The fun is in the testing also.

Not sure about all boats, but Tokuno and Orc you can open all the Port and Starboard cannons and have them laid out nice in EC. All within reach.

You can then do a macro that fires all of one side of your ship's cannons, flips your ship, and fires all of the other side of your ship's cannons. This happens within a second.

You then just go through the gumps already opened in step one and reload them all and repeat.

This makes scuttling ships so fast.

And then I grab some commodity deeds and go over to the ship and commodity deed their stuff and then bring it to my ship.

This is the most efficient way I've found to do ships.

NP, it is 0 originality. It's just what I've gathered from others around here and that Rabid dude on Youtube.
