Macro

A Macro is a customizable hotkey with 5 lines (1 command per line and a pause), you can store 12 per page and have 10 pages of macros. Common macros, include pulling, spell casting, corpse dragging. Your macros are stored per character file "Yourcharactername_project1999.ini" in your EQ directory.

For directions on how to make hotkeys to invoke macros, see the Advanced_Techniques_Guide under "Macros".

Pause

Pause commands are special as they are executed at the end of each macro line even though they are typed at the front. Pauses a macro sequence for 10 * x milliseconds. The actual value is a little lower, so /pause 500 is approximately 60 seconds +/- a couple seconds for server ticks. Pause cannot go over 70 seconds.

The above description has remained unedited because its meaning is unclear, but pause is 100 * x milliseconds, as detailed below in the example /pause 100 <pauses for 10 seconds> pauses 100 x 100ms = 10000ms = 10s or /pause 10 <pauses for 1 second> pauses 10 x 100ms = 1000ms = 1s

Remember to account for your latency to the server when adding pauses in your macro. A higher latency may require a longer pause than someone with a lower latency.

Format: /pause [#]

Examples:

• /pause 10 <pauses for 1 second>
• /pause 15 <pauses for 1.5 seconds>
• /pause 100 <pauses for 10 seconds>
