I didn't try today, but yesterday I had problems just getting past the login prompt w/o the macro. And once I finally did, I couldn't get back to the login prompt when I chose a server and clicked the button.
I assume it has something to do with a problem in the client or on the servers that was causing this, because I didn't have my macro even loaded.
This behavior is something I did NOT encounter until yesterday and it will surely mess with the macro's ability to automate logins.

Which version did you try? When did you try it?
What sort of problems did you have with it?
- Could you not get past the login prompt?
- Did you have a problem with the macro detecting the character select screen?
- Did it pause for a while at the server select screen before choosing a server?
- Do you have problems with the keypad+ key unloading the macro from memory? Do you think that key should be changed to something else? (spacebar perhaps?)
- Does ESC not stop the tada.wav from repeating?
- Does the macro seem to go very very slow?
I can not find and squash bugs w/o feedback.
FYI, on one of my systems it crawls, the other it goes very very fast. Both are P4 2.4Ghz with nVidia Ti graphics cards, and I can't figure out why it's so different. On the slower of the two systems I lowered the delay to 400, which seems to have speed it up a little, but nothing like the faster one is going. I'm thinking maybe it's the keyboard repeat delay is set differently on the two systems or something, but I haven't yet toyed with that setting, I'll report my findings asap.
I would like to be able to create in-game macros as well, but I think I'm going to have to switch to different software to get that done. I might be able to come up with a way to 'detect' the coordinates of the different boxes on-screen for both in-game macros and the login macro so it works under all resolutions, but I have not played with it too much, so I don't know how fast it will be, or if it is even possible with AutoIt.
Can anyone recomend a different piece of software to aid in making these things? Does anyone have any experience good or bad with Xylobot?
Happy Easter to those who celebrate it,
