Equip all armor with 1 macro : FFXI Submissions

Hi, found this on ffxi.allakhazam.com in their forums-- not seeking membership, just thought i would share it. I plan on buying membership when i get my check.
I'm not sure how many of you implement this method already...but I just found out about it today, and this will revolutionize the way that I play thief. To get my SA's, TA's, SATA+WS's, TA+WS's, SA+WS's, and TP-Gain to function properly and with optimal gear for exp, I require 10 macros within the macro set. With this new method I just found out about, I only need 6. This is significant. It means the difference between hitting 3 relatively unreliable macros just to fire off a weapon skill or solo SA, etc. Hitting multiple macros takes up time and concentration, on top of it already being somewhat unreliable to use 3 macros, as one of your macros may overlay the other if you hit it too soon.

***

This method requires windower.
You do the following: Create text files to save into the "scripts" folder within your windower folder, constructing the text files, line by line, to do what you'd like your FF macros to do if there weren't a 6 line limit. The format you have to use is:

input "FF Macro Format";

Some Examples:
input /equip body "Hecatomb Harness";
input /wait 1;
input /ja "Sneak Attack" <me>;

Create the text file, line by line, until you're done. Save it into the scripts folder. Then go into FF and open up your macro pallette. What you want to do is trigger your FF macro to implement the commands in the text file that you've just created. The line you need to input into the macro is of the following format:

/console exec "filename".txt

Examples:
/console exec WS-Equip.txt

(Or with the following script, you can include your equip swaps, job abilities, and WS"s in one.)
/console exec SataWS.txt

------------------------------------------------------

So say you want to construct the ideal TA+WS macro. Your Macro in FF will look like this (using just one single line):

/console exec TaWS.txt

But your script that this macro initiates would be something like this:

input /equip head "";
input /equip neck "";
input /equip ear1 "";
input /equip ear2 "";
input /equip body "";
input /equip hands "";
input /equip ring1 "";
input /equip ring2 "";
input /equip back "";
input /equip waist "";
input /equip legs "";
input /equip feet "";
input /echo ---<WS>---
input /wait 1;
input /ja "Trick Attack" <me>;
input /wait 1;
input /ws "Dancing Edge" <t>;


It's amazing just how fast it equips your set. It's @#%^in amazing. Just wanted to share that with you guys. Was in a little bit of a hurry, so the post was sloppy, but I hope this helps a few people.

Peace,

Pretty common info, it is a great tool especially for WS/TP gear change macros. I have a million LONG macros for NIN and SAM, and tons of macro set changes for types of gear, so it is a useful tool. It's just pretty common info for those who already have windower.

No. This is pretty well known - it's just a standard windower macro.
