I was looking to make a G15 like functional macros using autohotkey, and had an idea to automate combo's regardless of what is there.
Requirements:
AutoHotkey (

Windowed Mode
Rose (Can be turned on in interface options under Hud)
1,2, and 3 must still be bound to the combat swings.
How it works:
It scans the pixels in a box that you define. If it see's the color specified (and it searches within a range since the color can be highlighted at times) it will activate that direction. Since combo's light up the direction on the rose, its easily detectable.
Setup:
First thing to do is to is rename the file extension to .ahk
Then we must setup the detection areas.
To do so...start off by opening the game, then run the script. It will tell you your mouse position (relative to current selected window) and color that is under the mouse (not just on selected window, but whatever is visible under mouse)
There is a section in the script that looks like this.

;Edit These Variables
;Edit X Y X Y Color when combo selected
PixelSearch, Lx, Ly, 571, 811, 610, 845, 0x55a1b6, 35 ;Left Directional
PixelSearch, Mx, My, 623, 791, 652, 815, 0x55a1b6, 35 ;Middle Directional
PixelSearch, Rx, Ry, 671, 816, 700, 843, 0x55a1b6, 35 ;Right Directional
It is pretty self explanitory, but basically it works like this.
You want to put the first x,y coordinates somewhere to the top left of the area on the comat rose and the second x,y cooridnates somewhere to the bottom right of the area on the combat rose. This needs to be done for all 3 directional attacks.
The color doesnt have to be spot on, but may take some tweaking before it works properly.
After this, restart the script with the saved variables and you are essentially good to go.
The key to disable and enable the combos actually triggering is ALT+C.
You should see a L M R indicator as well when the script detects the correct color and will change that direction indicator to green.
I will attempt to get screenshots when I have more time and release a second version with the exta two directions once I get that level.
