EC Macros

[Smoot]

What macros do you use?

I know the EC has many features, and ive just started to do the basics with it and beginging to get used to it

Feel free to post macros.

A couple questions:
How do i get my character to auto-equip the right slayer, i know this is possible
How do i have more than 2 weapons (need about 5) able to be equiped thru macro

also feel free to post complicated macros that might help with other things in the game like housing, deco, events/crowded pvm targeting.

Really trying to get used to EC, i know it has huge advantages but i feel like i dont know where to start.

Thanks!

Did you check out the subforum for discussing the Enhanced Client? There's some good info and some helpful folks posting there. http://stratics.com/community/forums/uo-enhanced-client-discussion.454/

Hey Smoot I'll post up some screenshots when I get home. Are you using the standard EC or do you have Pinco UI also?

The auto pick slayer is only in Pinco UI.

Standard EC. have tried to get pincos but it never downloads properly. and since it will be obsolete relatively soon figured id just wait to try again.

You probably already know most of this, or already use something similar in the CC. Pick about 10 or 12 macros that you will use for every character and set those up first. Use distinct keys that you won't confuse with anything else. The set up macros that are character specific, and don't forget you can use hot bars for objects and assign hotkeys to those. You probably already have done something similar with the CC, just use the same keys.
Examples

• Emergency Escape : Recall/Sacred Journey; Stored Object (rune book) (I use the ~ key for this one)
• Heal : Bandage, Spell or both (for tamers)
• Cure
• Remove Cruse / Use Apple
• Dress
• Re-Arm weapon
• Hide / Cast Invisible
• EOO
• "I wish to lock/secure this" / Ctrl-L and Alt-L keys; "I wish to release this" using Ctrl-Alt-L keys purposely more difficult to use

The start with the character specific macros

• Continuous Taming : Tame - Current Target; Repeat 10x
• Mining
• Smelting

I probably have 40 different specific macros, but use the same keys that perform similar functions if I can. I also use the keypad just for weapons, slayers, etc. The 9-key for example is always a Demon Slayer. The memory muscles catch on pretty quickly like that.

For changing slayers - you just use the "Equip Item" action and add the weapon into the list of items to equip. That's it. Equipping the weapon will cause the currently equipped weapon to go into your backpack. I know this works in Pinco's - but I am almost positive it also works in the default UI. You'd need to do 5 of these (one for each of your slayer types).
