"Make Last" macro in EC

[Belmarduk]

Hi
I just cannot get this to work...
Usually the option in the crafting gump "Make Max" is sufficient, but for inscribing mana is needed
I want to make a macro where the char meditates after every 2-3 items

There is even a button called make last in the macro menu, but when I click it I only get the message " You must use the tool first" even when the crafting gump is open and I have just made an item with this tool...

Anyone any ideas ?

Thankyou

Default UI or with Pinco's?

Default UI

With the crafting tool open, does it work when you type in chat

/script Actions.MakeLast()

?

I didn't realize that was an option in EC.

Theres like two dozen of them. Maybe I will put a list in the EC forum later..

I've long been waiting for "petemage UI" for the EC

Crafting macros never work with default UI. Those need static gumpID to work.
Usually, default crafting gump generated as generic gump. It doesn't have static gumpID.
Crafting gupm in Pinco's UI has static gumpID,yes these macros are for Pinco's UI.

Current default UI is degraded copy of Pinco's UI. It doesn't have some necessary programs. It has many mistake.
For example, you can't set filter of object handle two or more. It always applies last one.
I sent some bug report about UI problem with how to fix them long ago. But they couldn't fix. lol

What is so annoying, is that there is even a button called "Make Last", but it does not work...
Is there any way to get this to work somehow ?

 

[MissEcho]

no I tried for ages to get that to do something and gave up.

 

[Belmarduk]

ok I guess then its click-click-wait..

Weird the make last button works for me most the time... What are you making?

Try putting two script actions (Action Menu > Other > Command) at the beginning of your macro with the following content:

script GenericGump.Shutdown = function() end

script GenericGump.OnShown = function () end

This works around a logic bug in the UI code. I'll spare everyone the boring details here..

It's important that those commands are run before you open the crafting menu. You could also just put them in hotbars and click them..

Might have sideffects with other gumps. Logout or hit Ctrl-R to revert it. A proper fix would at least need a custom mod.

The next publish is supposed to be a big bug fix and they are asking us to send in any bugs.

Doubt they mean EC bugs with this. I would maybe do it if it hadn't proofed as totally pointless in the past..

I've just posted up a thread on the UO forums where I am starting to make a list of EC bugs.

Thanks that works, I assume that if you put in a carpentry tool, or alchemy tool instead of the inscribe one that it will auto select the 'make last' off that tool. Although not sure why you would want to as it isn't like inscribe where you need to med in between uses etc.

Yea, they are all the same crafting gump and the "MakeLast" basically just is "Click the second button in the last opened crafting gump".

How long would the delay's need to be between make last?

I think it would depend on connection / lag. Trial and error to find the sweet spot I would say.

I put in 30 seconds to do gate scrolls, i normally could make 4 before running out of mana. I edited the macro to make 4 scrolls with a 30 second delay in between each scroll then did a repeat macro x 10. So on one run I could make 40 without needing to watch it. (that is with 25 mr on a suit and NO MED) My scribe doesn't run med.

If you had med, I would make one, use med skill and time how long it took to get full mana, and add in a delay after the med for however many seconds it took to refresh your mana to max, then do the next. Better to med after each one so you probly wont fail on the med, if you make 4-5 then you are likely to 'fail' on the med and overall there is no technical difference in time in medding to replace 1 lot of mana for 1 scroll or 4 lots for making 4 scrolls. If that makes sense lol.

I have been reading forum while my girls makes 'gates' she is up to 27, technically you could make way more than 40 if you put in more 'make last' 'delays' on one run then repeat. At least I don't have to sit there watching it and can do other stuff while she does em.
