3rd party dna sampling macro : SWG Premium Discussions

Macroing BE Sampling is a royal PAIN isn't it? Well here is a AUTO IT script that will help out. This script is *SLOW* to use. It is intended to work while you are asleep or at work.

If you don't have autoit send your browser to Register to unlock hidden link, download and install the software.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This entire process is MUCH easier to do if you load SWG in windowed mode. Windowed mode is selectable from the login panel.

Step 1: Your macro bar. Drag your macro bar so that you have two rows of macros.

Step 2: Drag your chemical/food crafting device to the far bottom right corner of your macro toolbar.

Step 3: Make in game macros:

The first macro is the startcrafting macro and it looks like this:

/ui action toolbarSlot23;
/pause 1;
/selectDraftSchematic 0;
/pause 7;

Note the /selectDraftSchematic 0; command. The 0 may not be the right schematic number.You will have to experiment until you find the schematic number that brings up the GENERIC DNA SCHEMATIC. Once you make this macro drag it to top far left part of your toolbar. To check, press F1, if the generic schematic comes up, you did everything correctly.

The second macro is the endcrafting macro and it looks like this:

/nextCraftingStage;
/nextCraftingStage;
/nextCraftingStage;
/createPrototype practice no item;
/createPrototype practice no item;
/pause 3;

Once you make this macro, drag it to the top far right of your toolbar. To check, press F12, if you get a message saying, "The crafting session has ended." then you did everything just right.

Step 4: Finding the right mouse locations:

For this step you will need at least 1 DNA sample. Load the "AUTOIT REVEAL MODE" program. Go to your SWG window. Press F1. Now move your mouse to the DNA sample, then look at the AUTOIT REVEAL MODE window and note the x,y location of the mouse.

Step 5: Your Anchor

Randomly wandering around a zone is not very profitable in terms of BE macro sampling. Therefore you need an anchor. Get a pet, any pet will do, non-CH's can use their mount if they wish. Have a CH train your pet with the command, 'stay' and 'group'.

Step 6: The script. Please note the {enter} means you actually type { e n t e r } at the end of the command.

Step 7: Getting your XP!

Find a planet / place with a nice quiet newbie area with lots of newbie spawns. Park your Anchor pet in the middle of that spawn, group your pet (Your group *MUST* consist of *ONLY* you and the pet) and tell your pet to, 'stay'. Start the script and monitor what happens. The following steps should happen:

1) You target a nearbye creature.
2) You move toward the creature.
3) You /sampledna from the creature.
4) You return to your anchor pet.
5) You open a generic genetic craft session.
6) Your mouse clicks 5 dna samples.
7) You close the craft session.
You wait for your mind to recover.
9) The process starts all over again.

If you get any crafting errors first check to make sure everything was done correctly with the crafting commands, if you are still getting errors, then some of the Sleep commands may be too fast and might need adjusting. The speed you can craft varies depending on your computer, your connection and the area you are in.

There you go! It takes a little work to make this happen, this is a fairly advanced macro/script so don't be frustrated if it doesn't work right away. But the script works, I'm actually running it as I type up this tutorial. Running the script overnight you will get a decent amount of sample xp + a little crafting xp.
