FTL Question

[Jatak]

I am just trying to get my head round it, my 3 mages are now lvl 60 and i want to start to use FTL early so when i hit 80 im confident with it. I am just playing around atm slowing setting up all the spells.
Ive got problems from the start, I hit '2' on my main and my slaves say they have no target. I have placed the 'I' button with the macro on it on the bars, and fireball on the '2' key. when i hit '2' on a main it also hits the 'I'
but the slaves just hit '2' and they dont pick a target. help please. Here are my keymaps and macro.

ToonA
‘2’ ---> ‘Fireball.on.Blastonce.target’
‘Ctrl + Alt + i’ ---> ‘Fireball.on.Blasttwice.target’
‘Alt + Shift + i’---> ‘Fireball.on.Blastthrice.target’

ToonB
‘Ctrl + Shift + i’ ---> ‘Fireball.on.Blastonce.target’
‘2’ ---> ‘Fireball.on.Blasttwice.target’
‘Alt + Shift + i’---> ‘Fireball.on.Blastthrice.target’

ToonC
‘Ctrl + Shift + i’ ---> ‘Fireball.on.Blastonce.target’
‘Ctrl + Alt + i’ ---> ‘Fireball.on.Blasttwice.target’
‘2’---> ‘Fireball.on.Blastthrice.target’

Macro

/assist
[mod:ctrl,mod:shift,nomod:alt]Blastonce;
[mod:ctrl,mod:alt,nomod:shift]Blasttwice;
[mod:alt,mod:shift,nomod:ctrl]Blastthrice;
/cast [harm] Fireball
/targetlasttarget

Right forget about that, ive tryed playing around and my heads going to explode. :cursing: Is there anyone that i could just on vent with and run me through seting up a simple spell like 'Fireball' Thanks

First off yeh need to unbind the keys yer using for all the combos ctr/alt/shift. Like shift-1-9 is bound to bar change...
Then yeh need to figure out whether or not what ever software yeh using passes the the key + ctrl/shift/alt combo
another thing is need to need to test yer macro use the key combo on that char
example go to blastonce target something switch to Blasttwice and hit ctrl/alt 2 and see if the macro works.

for testing purpose yeh should just use follow or target

I think what complicates things is having to use 2 different keys to do one thing. Yeh really don't need to.
All yeh really gotta do is bind the macro "2" for each char. And have the program pass moded "2"+ctrl/alt/shift.

one little comment:

did you copy the 'assist' macro directly from your Macros?
-I'm asking, because for the macros to work the hole '/assist'-command must be on one line, without any returns, like:

/assist [mod:ctrl,mod:shift,nomod:alt]Blastonce;[mod:ctrl,mod:alt,nomod:shift]Blasttwice;[mod:alt,mod:shift,nomod:ctrl]Blastthrice;
/cast [harm] Fireball
/targetlasttarget

Other 'common' ftl problems you could find in the Troubleshooting secton of the FTL-Wiki, maybe it can help...

Thanks for your replys i changed the macro so the /assist and mods are all on one line. The problem i have is with keymaps. ive tryed doing it the easy way, putting it in notepad and saving it as a .kcl but it saves it as Fireball.kcl.txt. How do i save the file as a type i want or edit the file type? im running Vista 64 bit

Thanks

[wowphreak]

click the file Fireball.kcl.txt so its highlighted hit f2 delete the .txt part it should ask do you really want to change the ext hit yes.
This works in XP should be same in vista :P

[Jatak]

Right, got the .kcl bit done, thanks. its not working though :'< this is what i have done.

These are the following keymaps for each character. This is for the Fireball spell.

Blastonce

‘2’ ---> ‘Fireball.on.Blastonce.target’
 ‘Ctrl + Alt + i’ ---> ‘Fireball.on.Blasttwice.target’
 ‘Alt + Shift + i’---> ‘Fireball.on.Blastthrice.target’ 

Blasttwice

‘Ctrl + Shift + i’ ---> ‘Fireball.on.Blastonce.target’
 ‘2’ ---> ‘Fireball.on.Blasttwice.target’
 ‘Alt + Shift + i’---> ‘Fireball.on.Blastthrice.target’ 

Blastthrice

‘Ctrl + Shift + i’ ---> ‘Fireball.on.Blastonce.target’
 ‘Ctrl + Alt + i’ ---> ‘Fireball.on.Blasttwice.target’
 ‘2’---> ‘Fireball.on.Blastthrice.target’ 

I copied each keymap as they are above into notepad, and saved them as a .kcl file. They all show as .kcl files. I named the one for Blastonce 'Fireball', Blasttwice 'Fireball2' and Blastthrice 'Fireball3'
I then went into keyclone> command editor and loaded each keymap file into the corasponding wow instance. This is what it looks like when they are loaded.



Macro

/assist [mod:ctrl,mod:shift,nomod:alt]Blastonce; [mod:ctrl,mod:alt,nomod:shift]Blasttwice;[mod:alt,mod:shift,nomod:ctrl]Blastthrice;
 /cast [harm] Fireball
 /targetlasttarget 

I have my Fireball spell bound to '2' on each character and the macro above bound to the 'i' button on each character.
When I target something on my main or alts and hit '2' it says 'You have no target' on the other 2 windows.
When i hit the 'i' button on the main instance, he targets the mob, starts to cast fireball then deselects the target and the spell hits the target. The other 2 instances seem to try and cast fireball first, because they have the target selected but it says, 'You have no target'.
If i hit the 'i' button a second time the opposite happens, The main screen selects the target but it says 'You have no target' and the 2 other instances cast fireball but deselect the target, its like a constant loop.

Please tell me where im going wrong, and what the problem is if you can, thanks.

Seeing as i have had no response to the above, im guessing that theres not many people that can help me. For FTL setup should i use HKN ? would it be easier?

Thanks

[olipcs]

hm, from a first glance your setup seems ok for me and should work!
So, the only thing which might cause something like this, i can think off, would be, if you have bound 'shift/alt/ctrl + i' to something other, so that the macros don't activate.
But even then, normaly the two slave toons, shouldn't get the 'no target' message...

..could you perhaps try to change your macro, so that it doesn't assists but casts directly on the target and see what happens, like:

/cast[mod:ctrl,mod:shift,nomod:alt,target=Blastonce-target][mod:ctrl,mod:alt,nomod:shift,target=Blasttwice-target][mod:alt,mod:shift,nomod:ctrl,target=Blastthrice-target] Fireball;

(im not exactly sure if it is 'Blastonce-target' or 'Blastoncetarget' so you may have to trythat out)

Your problem is that setting up keymap files is not as easy as copying a ‘2’ ---> ‘Fireball.on.Blastonce.target’ into a txt file.

The actual text files have something that looks like the following in them: k(192.0.0):hs(` - One)
where 192.0.0 is a number representing the key with modifiers, and ` - One is the keymap name.

I suggest setting them up via keyclone to start out with.
In keyclone, go to options (settings? I'm at work right now). Go to keymaps and start making a new one in there.
