For a minute i thought you were trying to give us rules for macroing.

Chrono · June 20, 2009, 05:16:43 PM

I could do that.
Never change your viewing direction.
Undo to delete bricks.
Change paint color BEFORE planting rather than spraying it.
Don't change your brick cart, unless you are changing bricks you didn't use.
Wrenching isn't macroed.
Keep too-far distance in mind.

If that happens, I increase the 'Too Far' distance.

There's also either a time limit or a brick limit, so don't plan on making a really big one.

Not meaning to sound a complete and utter idiot, but how do you macro?

Space Guy · June 21, 2009, 10:31:04 AM

Set keybinds under "Recording" in Options/Controls.

Choose ten bricks you want to use in the macro. (or less)
Place the first one as a temp brick.
Press the Toggle Macro Recording key.
Move the brick around via the numpad (not brick placer) and plant bricks.
You can use the Paint Can to recolor bricks before they are placed. (Painting them won't save in the macro)
Press the Toggle Macro Recording key.

Place that first temp brick somewhere else.
Press the Playback Macro Recording key.
Watch as it builds itself.
If you use the same temp brick and colour at the end as the start, you can have a repeatable macro to make things like brick walls or evenly spaced fencing easily.

Download and use Ephialtes' Macro Saver to save general macros for use in other servers.

i ment with jet's, running after the ghost brick, and most of my macros are small anyway (largest fits in a 16*16 cube)

And Chrono means the part about increasing the server Too Far distance, which you can only do with Super Admin rights and RTB. (or being the server host)
