Hullo,

I'm having difficulty getting the macro plug-in up and running. It would load up, I can see the task bar and select the macro plug-in and even record. But when it comes to playback, it plays but the keyboard and mouse commands don't seem to register. There's obviously a problem according to the log file which beings with:
07/28/03 08:10:23 PM ERROR: Requested DirectX9 Screen Format is not currently compatable with XUnleashed.
I'm not sure what this is referring to. Any advice would be appreciated. I've attached the complete log file below.
Thanks!

First, check to see if you can record/playback macros in the dx9test config.

If you CAN, then it might be something specific to your computer setup. What OS do you have?

The DX9Test worked like a charm. It recorded and played back perfectly (although I got an illegal operation error once I tried to close the DX9Test window.)

OS I'm using is Windows 98SE. As far as video goes (if that's a factor since the log file flagged it with an error) I have a MSI GF4 Ti4200 128MB video card and a Viewsonic 900VX flatscreen LCD.

Some feedback on the DX9Test I forgot to mention. The recording/playback didn't initially work with the default macro selection of "Record Both Keyboard/Mouse". After testing it with no luck, I switched the selection to "Record Keyboard Only" and that worked! Then I switched it back to "Record Both Keyboard/Mouse" and both recorded and played back fine after that. So something funky going on with some setting not kicking in with the initial load up.
I tried this in SWG (switching back and forth between recording options) but it had no effect. It still refused to playback what I recorded. I did notice however that if I had the cursor on in the chat window, those keystrokes would appear in the chat, but they wouldn't execute the commands they were bound to once the cursor was out of the chat window.
Also I noticed in the DX9Test that the pointer went in front of the macro option selection window. Once in SWG, the only pointer I had was the game pointer that would go behind the macro option menu. I'm not sure if there is supposed to be a secondary pointer that would appear in front of it? The game pointer, although behind the menu, would still be able to select and deselect the options. I would just have to take a rough guess of where it was positioned to click the appropriate selection boxes I wanted to toggle. But something tells me this isn't normal, either.
Anyway, hope this helps in diagnosing the problem.

What OS are you using? Some with win98/ME are having those kind of problems.

Yes, I'm using Windows 98SE. I do have XP, but I really didn't care for it all that much and switched back to 98SE. But I guess for this I'll reinstall it and see if it works better. Ugh...hehe.

Do you have the disable hardware cursor option clicked? If so, unclick it and you should be able to see the cursor in Xunleashed windows, at least it worked for me.. I am running SWG in a window as well.

Just an update, I reinstalled WinXP Pro and now everything is working fine. So for those having problems and you're using Win98SE, you'll either have to upgrade to XP or hope these guys make a fix for Win98. Good luck!
