Any working Macro-extending addons out there?

Welcome to the world of modifiers and compound macros. 7 spells on a single key if you can stay below the 255 letters.

#showtooltip
/assist focus
/cast [modifier:lalt]
/cast [modifier:ctrl]
/cast [modifier:shift]
/cast [modifier:ralt]
/cast [modifier:rctrl]
/cast [modifier:rshift]
/cast

in the world of multiboxing it seems you cant always have your cake and eat it too. You can either forego some macros and just use lots of different keys/keypads or make painfuly modified macros like this to do multiple things (or one thing to multiple targets) Now I know the above is just an example of all the modifiers but just wanted to remind everyone that you will hit the 255 char limit very quickly. using 2-3 modifiers per macro is easily within reason however.

@baxenet, maybe I just misunderstood you but I dont think that will work since you can use scripts to do anything with your character (cast spells, change targets, etc) so Im not sure how creating a new add-on will get around this apparent new hard cap of 18+18. The advantage of having multiple boxes however is that first 18 is the ones shared between characters on that account. so in essence each character does indeed have 36 macros at a size of 255char each to use Which is quite a lot especially if you use atleast one modifier in there you have essentialy doubled again what you can do. The catch 22 is remembering what they all are though

(I only have about 10 macros per character at the moment but my group is only lvl 12 and my spellbook is not even half the size it will be)

Bindpad?

Supermacros?

Bindpad?

Supermacros?

Supermacros, if it's the adon I think it is, no longe works as stated in this thread, you're now limited to the ammount of default macros and can't increase this, at least not with Supermacro or similar adons.

Bindpad does work, but it is not a macro extender. I would recommend it though.

What I think would be "perfect" is a working version of McRaire's Macro texter (or whatever her name was).

Shogun and Ghallo have it right... bindpad is great (essential for me) but the macros have to exist already and supermacro has had its teeth pulled

Kind of an old post but I am new to the forums.

You can try Trinity bar it allows you to macro directly on a button in essence having unlimited number of macro's.

I made the switch from Trinity 1.0 to the latest Trinity Bars 2 last night... fantastic addon, hugely improved, unlimited macros! (almost) unlimited buttons! I can have every spell i need, plus "blank" macros for Icons and spellnames for the alt toons on my mains bars etc.

Well over 130 buttons so far...

You can have 120 "action" buttons this can be a normal macro, spell, item, etc.
120 spell buttons (spells only, dragged straight from the spell book as normal)
120 item buttons (items in inv)
120 equipment items (though you'll only need 1 for each eq slot at most...)
120 Trinity macros (pure win.)

I think that's it, but damn that's alot of space

hmm might have to try it
