Heya everyone, just wondering if anyone here is thinking of creating any macro's for the Earth & Beyond game being re-created by the chaps over at enb-emulator.com... their just coming to the end of a stress test session which has proved quite successful, alas some of the old macros which worked very well in the original EA game dont quite work in this one... !

Actually I was cleaning my folders out about 6 moths ago and deleted all of those I had made. I'm mad now and wish I still had them. I have a MiniMiner macro but it doesn't have much error checking at the moment and still needs some refining. As flakey as the servers have been, it has been hard to get fixed.

Ouch!

I came back here to see what was going on after messing with the enb emu. The Depository seems to be offline. I emailed Cam to ask him.

Here they are packed up

The installer for wabbits scripts want AC tools version 4.5.5 beta or higher but i dont see this available for download can anyone point me at this version, latest i can see is 5.4.0?

Well, Guess your Not a Hacker.. Look at the Link for 5.4.0.... Copy the Link.. Paste it in a new Tab and delete the actools 5.4.0.exe part... POOF the Download directory, From AcTools3.2 forward.

Tried the version 4.6.2 but still the same error message it says it needs 4.5.5 beta or higher

yeah, I don't think it's the Version you have, The problem is the Installer. I've changed my Version via RegEdit also changed the Beta value to True..

The Exe could be corrupt.

use the 4511 version and it works ok

Anyone know a way to prevent enb grabbing an exclusive lock on the log file that contains chat log?

Here is a Somer to Prasad Macro. Will even relogin and is very 'lag' resistant. Wrote it for the current server, so should work...

Add here is an updated version that supports: Somer -> Prasad trade as well as Somer->Fenris.
This macro as a relogging proc. that execute every 5 mins and will cope with lag/disconnections issues
Enjoy

Regmacro, can you add a full instruction to this macro, so I can follow it step by step. It will give me an understanding of how and what and when it does things, that way I can play with it and hopefully be able to use it as a base for building my own

I threw these together, very basic, but do the job

Screen is 1680 x 1050

(If you want to make smaller, screen capture and open the picture, use ctrl m to get position on your picture, and change the screen position yourself. It is not that hard, if I can do it so can you)

As I improve I hope to be able to add better ways of coding these as I have seen in past macros


I can only get better


[attachment=1179:Trade.zip]

I don't really get what you mean by adjusting the screen, I use 1280 x 1024, can you please explain better what you mean? I am new to using ac tools, IDK if you mean to open the picture using ac tools or using ms paint or what. a better explaination would be great, so far the macro is not working at all.

What you do is
1) In-game, press the pause/break/scroll lock key to take a screen shot

2) Open C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Earth & Beyond\Data\client\output. Here I move the screen shot to another folder and give it a name, eg; Glenn from Somerled, Glenn from Prasad, you get the idea

3) Open the renamed / or not, screen shot with Windows Photo Viewer, or whatever program you use, as long as it can display the picture full size (full size is the resolution you took the screen shot when running Earth and Beyond)

4) Display the picture in full size

5) With Windows Photo Viewer you can open actools (from the icons at the bottom of the screen) and it will be the front screen with the picture behind it

6) On a blank line in actools (you create a blank line by putting the cursor on the beginning of a line and hit enter, then move the cursor to the beginning of the blank line), move the little hand to where you want the cursor to click, eg; on a nav point

Ok, tricky bit as this is how it works on my screen. Because the screen shot is not exactly where the cursor is when I play, I place the middle finger of the hand in line with the middle of the object and below it a bit

**The hand shows on the full size picture, you may have to move actools out of the way, so you can see where you want the cursor to be, to activate the gate or whatever. On my screen I need to CTRL M Key the middle finger as I mentioned above (I experimented till I found how much the cursor position was out and compensated for it**


7) When you have the actool hand where you want it press CTRL M Key

8) In the actool window you will have a statement like "MousePos xxx, xxx " Look at line 6 on the macro below. It is where the reactor is on your ship in 1680 x 1050 screen mode

Now to see how close you positioned the CTRL M Key to where you want it, you would run a simple macro, which is below this macro, I'll add a longer timer so you can see where your cursor is

SetActiveWindow Earth & Beyond // 1680/1050 screen
delay 4 sec
// Move warp buff Reactor to Hotkey 4 \\
keys i // Open Ship Screen
delay .2 sec
MousePos 852, 813 // Reactor position on Ship \\
delay .2 sec
leftmousedown // Reactor Icon to Hotkey position 4 \\
delay .2 sec
MousePos 1035, 985 // Hotkey position 4 \\
delay .2 sec
leftmouseup // Release Reactor Icon \\
delay .2 sec
keys i
delay .2 sec
keys 4 //Activate warp buff
// Open Map, Shrink Map, Close Map \\
keys m // Map \\
delay .2 sec
MousePos 323, 660 // Cursor in Map Area \\
keydown - 3 sec // Shrink Map \\
delay .2 sec
keys m // Close Map \\
delay .2 sec



This second macro with a longer timer (3 seconds) to see where your cursor is and which way you need to move it. i tried to guess at where you need the cursor positioned, so hopefully it's not to far from where you need it

REMEMBER first 3 digits are * left to right on your screen 0 to 1280 and the next 3 are top to bottom 0 to 1024 *

SetActiveWindow Earth & Beyond //
delay 4 sec
// Move warp buff Reactor to Hotkey 4 \\
keys i // Open Ship Screen
delay .2 sec
MousePos 852, 813 // Reactor position on Ship \\
delay 3 sec
leftmousedown // Reactor Icon to Hotkey position 4 \\
delay 3 sec
MousePos 1035, 985 // Hotkey position 4 \\
delay 3 sec
leftmouseup // Release Reactor Icon \\
delay 3 sec
keys i
delay .2 sec
keys 4 //Activate warp buff

Included (I hope) are screen shots and a little macro that you can play with

[attachment=1183:1280x1024.zip]

thanks for the quick reply, I am going to do this now thanks a lot EDIT: thanks alot again ego, with your help I was able to re-edit the to and from somer/prasad route to work for 1280-1024, I have uploaded my version of the macros that work with 1280-1024, thanks again.

Heya, what would I have to do to get your macro to work in 1280/1024, I know how to do it with a simple macro but yours seems quite complex.

From what I have seen of the coding, you need to change all the cursor positions to allow your cursor to click in the right screen position, and I believe he states it only runs in whatever the screen size he made it. Also the reset and memory hacks do not work

I also believe that new objects would have to be made and that is where I'm at atm (Cannot get my macro to use my objects, I'm learning, slowly, and the instructions are not very clear on how to make/use them)

I was wondering if anyone had anything like a mining macro for EnB, I dont need anything fancy like those trade/travel scripts on the other page but something that automatically selects the next mining node,goes to it,mines and repeats would be pretty neat.

Here is a simple mining Macro, all you have to do is move your ship if you deplete the field before respawn (I used as an attended Macro)

This Macro is close to what a G15 or G19 keyboard would do with the macro function that is built into the k/board

It's made for 1400x900 screen rez

To change to a different screen size, change the MousePos to suit. My post earlier explains how to use a screenshot to suit a players screen rez

I used the macro below (just copy and paste into actools) in Mars behind Remus and Romulas as the fields there are nice and bunched up

SetActiveWindow Earth & Beyond //1400x900
delay 4 sec
keys x // in a roid field should target closest roid
delay 1 sec
loop 1000 // how many times you want to run the macro
MousePos 1385, 600 //mining icon
delay 1.5 sec // nice and slow to open or change mouse positions
leftclick
delay 1.5 sec
MousePos 1280, 300 //top left window where an item is
delay 1.5 sec
leftclick
delay 1.5 sec
MousePos 1250, 750 // moves cursor to target window to close it
delay 1.5 sec
rightclick
MousePos 1385, 600 // back to mining icon position on screen
delay 5 sec // time taken to mine and tractor the item to hold
keys d // next roid
delay 1.5 sec
end

Thanks Ego, with a bit of mouse click modifications it works perfectly.

Hey all,

I'm looking for a 1440X900 version of the Fenris/Parsad/Somberland trade route. I'm trying to figure it out but having no luck. Any help would be great. Thanks

Just done a crawl thru my vault, lots of creepy things hiding in there

No 1400x900 but if you take a screen shot and look at it in full rez and follow my instructions on page 1, last post, it explains how to use the mouse position in actools to input the mouse position where you want

download one of my macros and change the mouse position to where you want from your screen shots in 1400 x 900. It's not that hard. once you do it, you will be surprised at how easy it is

Now all we need is an Object Editor built into the actool program to make my life a little easier, still having problems with the macro reading what I put in the object field

Ok, here is a start that gets your reactor into hotkey 4, activates, opens map, ensures it is small screen and shrunk

It then positions on the next gate, clicks the icon, starts warp and away you go

It stops in AP, as this is where you see what I have done and you get to copy and paste, and add your mouse positions and the time it takes to get from 1 gate to the next (The q time )

I stopped at AP as you need to learn the basics and this will help you. C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Earth & Beyond\data\client\output is where the screenshots you captured with scroll lock are stored

I use Windows Picture and Fax Viewer and CTRL A to view actual size and this is where the fun part is, guessing how close the arrow is to the gate on screen. My computer is about 10 to 20 pixels to the right and about 5 to 15 pixels low of the actual gate icon, so I adjust my mousepos after I CTRL M the cursor position into the macro

This is why I only done 2 maps, I got bored and I was swapping between my 2 computers changing the info on my XP laptop running the game and using my main computer running Win 7 to find the cursor positions (I haven't loaded EnBU on my main comp yet, used up my bandwidth in 15 days, waiting for the next billing cycle to get it back)

Hope this is a good start for you, any problems give me a yell and I'll see what I can do to help you

Copy and paste the below into a empty actools window and test it, as you will see the timing is slow so you can see each step. I run at zero point 2 and zero point 5 sec gaps between instructions except the q timer and the gate timer at 26 seconds

Hey everyone. Just wondering if there are any updated macros for the ST4. I've been trying to use some of the recently posted macros and dont seem to be getting anywhere with them. I'm really just looking for a good trade run macro like somer-->fenris .. haven't been any new posts on here for bout a month 1/2 so hopefully you guys are working on something new
