Macaroon

[quote='Ozbert',index.php?page=Thread&postID=142558 #post142558]Is there some kind of guide or howto on setting up Macaroon? It looks like a pretty useful addon but I'm struggling to work out how to configure it.

Currently I use default Blizzard bars with [i]/cast [target=focustarget] ability[/i] macros for every ability. I'd like to eliminate the need for all these macros if possible.

EDIT: Actually I use the focustarget macros for my shammies. For my hunters I use [i]/target [target=focustarget]; /cast ability[/i] macros. Can those also be eliminated with the help of Macaroon?[/quote]

#22 Post should explain it

Well I just started using Macaroon (from dominos) and its looking great.

Im not using the advanced stuff myself but to clear up some confusion just think of bar in which you set the targeting for as rewriting your macros to put the targeting of the bar into the macro you drop into it.

So you basically write macros without targets and then drop them into whatever bar (which has targeting set for it) and the macro gets auto-rewritten to match that bar.

So you write a macro "/cast nuke"

If you have two bars, one which the target is focus and one which the target is assist leader you drop this same macro into each bar and it writes the target line for you depending on which bar it is.

Then you can have many diffent targeting bars, which can fade in and out as needed if you wish. If your leader is alive you might have the assist leader bar be visable and the others faded. If the leader dies you can have a bar pop up which has "/assist toon2" as its target (you can customize the targets as you wish). I think you can fade them in and out like that, not sure.

This saves a lot of time in writing macros as you just need to change the "/cast nuke" to "/cast other nuke" and you dont have to rewite every individual macro (I dont think you have to redrop them into bars but maybe you do). Basically once you set up your bars you never have to put in targeting infomations with macros.

Obviously you can do a lot and with the ability to save profiles you dont have to write stuff for each toon.

All and all better then dominos ...

I'm Sam DeathWalker and I approve of this Product.


Ok you make a bar with this targeting stuffs:

/target [target=toona,nodead]; [target=toonb,nodead]; [target=toonc,nodead]; [target=toond,nodead]; [target=toone,nodead]
/assist

And you won't have to retype that all the time, and you have a single bar where if your "mainbrain" leader dies you can go to the next alive as the targeter.


Here is modifier for using right click to cast on urself:

Quote:

button:1/2/.../5/<virtual click>
Similar to [modifier], [button] allows your macro to respond differently based on which mouse button is being used to activate the macro. Button numbers 1-5 correspond to left, right, middle, button 4, and button 5. If your macro is activated by a keybinding, [button:1] will always be true. As an example, here is the macro I use for mounting:

#show Swift Green Mechanostrider
/userandom [nobutton:2, flyable, nomounted] Ebon Gryphon; [nomounted] Black Battlestrider, Swift Green Mechanostrider
/dismount [noflying] [button:2]
Behavior when not mounted: left-clicking will pick Ebon Gryphon if it can be used (flyable), otherwise it will randomly pick the Black Battlestrider or the Swift Green Mechanostrider. Right-clicking will always pick one of the mechachickens.

like this:

/Target toona
/cast [button:2, target=player] [] Healing Wave

Point being you can make a bar that lets you right click on things to cast them onyourself, otherwise they use the target or assist you have set.


Put them together you have a heal button that will Heal your main (or 2nd if he dead) (or 3rd if first two dead, or yourself if all 3 others is dead) if you click on it or heal yourself if you right click on it!


/target [target=toona,nodead]; [target=toonb,nodead]; [target=toonc,nodead]; [target=player]
/cast [button:2, target=player] [] Healing Wave

HOLY THREAD NECRO BATMAN

Maul, WRU?

Someone was kind enough to update the main lua file to be 3.0.8 compliant, but your extras are only kinda working. I hope you're not in a diabetic coma from all those Coke's people bought you.

Lets keep this mod going, it's too good to let go.

Hi guys, wicked/awesome/uber addon!

Excuse the noob question, however I have searched many a forum in search of such a basic answer. Maybe I missed something/several things.

Basically, I play warrior. Stances. I have managed to configure my main left action bar to be my stance bar. It successfully cycles through my desired stance buttons as I change stances (yay).

HOWEVER: I would like to be able to use one keybind for a different button in each stance. I.E. in slot "1" i want it to be bound to Hamstring in Battle Stance, Heroic Strike in Berserker Stance, and Revenge in Defensive Stance. How do I do this? It seems I can only bind spells to keys. Not button slots to keys...

As i am noob, i will need a noob-friendly response please :D


****EDIT****

Figured out how to do it. Really basic. Type /mac bind and then mouse over the buttons u want to bind and bind it to the corresponding key!

Another problem has surfaced >_<

All went well whilst dragging abilities from my spellbook onto my stance bars. however when I tried to drag them to my berserker stance, It wouldnt let me drop them onto the bar? Almost like the bar was locked or something? it worked fine for battle/defensive stances.. I checked all the configs for the zerker stance bar, and they are exactly the same as the other two bars. Why is this one locked and wont let me drop spells onto it?!?



Thanks in advance!

Dumb question, but do you have buttons added for that stance?

try to edit the buttons and see if it got changed to an action tag or something else. if so click the button while in edit mode until it turns back to macro.

Ok is there an actual tutorial like hotkeynet and keyclone had lol. I got it up but having macros and bindings issues trying to figure out how to do what. Just wonder if theres a nice tutorial to get me going.

Ok slowly but surely im working through it. Couple questions for whoever does use macaroon. 1. how do you bring up your bags and key chain bar 2. how do you bring up your computer and character bar.
I guess im gonna stick to focus based since i am using the original ui mini map but not the action bars.

They are part of it, you just need to have it turned on to let the addon handle them

Ok and how is that ill link picture of what mine looks like now. But like your saying i cannot find the bag slot and stuff.

Like i mentioned i got all the stuff to work out putting in the macros and all and binding them to keys which allowed me to reset to defaults thank god lol. Just need to find my baggies and make a spot for them. Thanks for any help. One more thing i want to change the look of my character icon is there a addon to do this without messing everything else up.
