It's hard to name my issue. Please read the thread

First of all I'd like to say that I was looking all over the place for any solutions and nothing works..

Basically my problem is that my RoM Client doesn't know macro commands. To make macros work I have to 'teach' my Client the commands I want to use in a macro. Here's an example of how it works:

Simple Mage/Warrior buff macro

Source code

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
/cast Activate Mana
/wait 1.2
/cast Elemental Explosion
/wait 1.2
/cast Magical Enlightenment
/wait 1.2
/cast Magical Talent


when I copy/pasted it from notepad (a friend of mine gave me a .txt file with couple of macros) and putted in a macro it didn't worked for me. What I had to do to make it work was the following:
- create a separate macro with just one line like /cast Activate Mana
- paste the above line in chat box few times
- spam one line macro key from action bar few times
- repeat steps for each /cast line
And finally after a while complete macro worked.

Every time I want to use /cast command for a skill/potion/food or anything else I have to manually 'teach' the Client the command line.
And that goes to more than just /cast commands.. Commands like /script, /run encounter the same issue.

Another interesting thing about executing commands is the length of command.

Some time ago I installed DIYCE v1 where triggering command for my class combination was /run Rogal(), obviously didn't worked. But when I shortened the trigger command to /run RR() it worked. Like what the hell?

Well.. I'd say I can live with that 'teaching' method as long as it works. Where I actually don't use to much macros. But today I installed DIYCE v2 which is an awesome thing and guess what? It doesn't work. Or more likely doesn't fully work.
As told in DIYCE thread I made macro /run KillSequence() and the only thing it does is buffing me up and targeting mobs. No combat action at all, no matter if I am in combat or not. My guess is that this is related to the above 'teaching' issue.


If anyone had similar problem and fixed it somehow please help me. I tried re-installing RoM Client, clean Client without any addons, with no saved setting in SaveVariables.lua, I even tried both slim and full Client version. So far nothing worked..

Thanks in advance,
Voorhes.

May I ask what your latency is normally? Depending on your ping, you may want your wait times to be 1.2-1.5 seconds.

Thing with DIYCE is you have to go inside (Do It Yourself Combat Engine), and tell it, what you want it to do after combat. Posting your script (in code form) in the diyce thread, people will be able to help out.

Not too sure of the other things, in your original macro, try changing the wait times to 1.5, and just wait for it to do some actions. Make sure you have yourself targetted or a mob, or something.

Did you edit CustomFunctions.lua at all?

And as Raves said, for DIYCE help, post into the DIYCE 2 thread. Actually, all of what Raves said is good info/advice here.

Sorry but You haven't focused on the main problem..

Latency has nothing to do with my problem. No matter if I set wait to 1,3,5,8 or 10 nothing happens until I put the command in mentioned places. About DIYCE, sure - I'll post there too.
My normal latency is around 60ms.

Edit..
I just did some more testing with my friends. Two different Client languages and some 4 line macros. In all cases only last skill on the list from a complete macro was casting. I believe that it has something to do with 'anti botting' macros block. If I'm correct there was something mentioned about /cast command. But the command itself works.. The macros we we're testing.. I 'taught' my client each macro line and then it worked from the same macro which a moment earlier didn't worked.


Edit 2..
Oh and DIYCE is just a reason why I want my problem to be fixed. So don't really bother with DIYCE itself at them moment but rather focus on the macros problem please.

This is just a little bizarre. Either something is interfering with either the macros or the your installation is messed up.

If you have any add-ons currently loaded, try removing them and see if the macro problem still exists. If so, send a support ticket and/or re-install the game.

If the problem disappears after removing all add-ons then some add-on is likely causing the issue. To find out which, manually re-enable each add-on one at a time and test if the problem re-appears. If/when it does, that last add-on is either the cause, or it it interacting badly with another add-on also loaded at that time.

I mailed Ghost other day with simillar problem. Some of macros that I created some time ago now do not work. (and they used to work).

Simple macro to change gloves and free me from root just does nothing, same thing with title change and casting Mad Rush. It will change title, but no rush nor change back of my previous title. Nothing to do with wait time, as I set those for testing purpose to 1, 2 and higher numbers.

I will try to do single / commands and see if that helps...

Your experience with DIYCE 2 is the same way it has behaved for me since Ghost first put it out. I have no issues with macros however, nor with DIYCE 1.0.

I wonder if I'm having the same issue. Someone gave me a macro, and it just would not work for me, but works perfectly fine for them.

@Peryl I don't want to be rude here but You just clearly haven't read my entire #1st post where I said I already did all the stuff You suggested. And yet it has nothing to do with addons or whatever.
Tho I will repeat myself.
I made a clean game which includes removing all saved setting from both global and character specified SaveVariables.lua, no addons installed and a fresh downloaded Client.
Plus how my installation can be messed up if the problem occurs for more people than just me?

@RoMage I had the same problem with 'speed' macro. My 'teaching' method worked just fine for /cast Mad Rush and title switching.

@Auros true, DIYCE 1.0. worked for me too.


On another though, could it be related to an operating system? I'm working on Win7 x64.

I think this has to do with addons - one of addons is screwing how commands get interpreted. First one that I will check are the last one I installed, such as 'kwSpeedUp' or 'kwReload', then what was last updated.

It is frustrating... but at least my TS macro works :D

Don't You read what I say? I tested it on game with no addons at all lol.

I did read it, but clearly you missed the following in my post (I highlighted the part in question):

Quoted from "Peryl;598516"

If you have any add-ons currently loaded, try removing them and see if the macro problem still exists. If so, send a support ticket and/or re-install the game.

In short, if the problem exists after re-installing the game and no add-ons are loaded, then the problem is clearly game related.

Whether that problem is an interaction between the game and your OS, or the fact that it is a 64-bit OS, or somehting else I cannot say. Only Gameforge/Runewaker can truly answer that.

I am running Win7 x64, and no macros nor diyce has messed up for me. I would second what Peryl has said, contact support at this point. This is the first I have ever heard of an issue like this, this is new to me. Don't think I ever read of you other guys having issues like this, or I missed it (other than the PM the other day from RoMage).

Win 7 64bit here as well, and I don't think it is OS related, as macros used to work for me, as I already said. This is more recent, like last month or two... I have not tried pet feed macro in a while, will give it a shot next time in game.

I have lot of macros, but since I installed DIYCE over a year ago, I rarely use them. I still use old version of DIYCE, one first modified by secret, then with my addition for PvP and some other things... (reinstalled about 4-5 months ago)

Hmm, no idea what is causing this issue with you guys. Can you list what addons you have installed incase someone else knows of the issue with a certain addon? (This question is for all of you with the issue, to possibly cross reference the lists and see if there are certain ones that are on both/all of your systems to maybe narrow the list down.)
