Trade caravan *select everything but bins* macro
« on: May 27, 2011, 06:16:59 pm »

i don't know if anyone wants this, but i was irritated with having to select 9999999 crafts in bins, and being on a low wood embark id rather keep the bins so it takes a bit of work to select everything

thus, i swiftly created the following in less time then it would take for me to do it manually:

fd trade wagon

*tosses up confetti"

a macro that when started, asks how fast and how many items you want to select in the trade depot (you have to have the trade depot menu open in dwarf fortress)

you can use this to select everything in a list, for example in the trade goods selection menu you just put the cursor at the top of the "crafts" page at the first craft bin, start the macro up and make the selection of speed and amount

(it puts dwarf fortress in the correct position on your screen automatically, so you dont have to do anything besides what i described above)

if you lose focus of dwarven fortress (alt tab, minimise etc) the macro stops immediately, it also stops when it runs on its end ofc ^^

my english isnt so very good, so sorry if the text used in the tool is spelling mistake sometimes :p

oh, y unzip, its in a rar

Nice that this has settings etc, but what software is Macro Express 4 exactly ? Plz edit your first post with more details on the required software thanks, so people know what they need. I was expecting a regular DF macro.

Yeah I'm seeing an *.mxe file here, not an exe or anything.
