Autofire possible with a keyboard / mouse?

DJk_zero · 08-22-2003, 10:23 PM

Been playing a ranger a fair bit lately as my roomie is out for a couple weeks. Primal bow, baton of flame and primal 1hs are the only attack options I have to use, and frankly the bow makes the melee look like shit. I don't have a gamepad thing but do have a 4button mouse, is it possible to get a program to make the mouse extra button or a keyboard key work as autofire instead of having to hit 777777777 all playtime in xp groups to bow?

Just the run of the mill gamepad or does it have to have an auto button / switch?

You might be able to do it if your mouse came with some software that allows you to customize the buttons on the mouse, but I'm not sure.

DJk_zero · 08-23-2003, 12:12 AM

Just the normal logitech mouseware, aka suck ass shit. :\

sub main
:archloop
/press 1
/if "$target()"!="FALSE" /if "$target(type)"!="NPC" /goto :end
/if "$target()"=="FALSE" /goto :end
/goto :archloop
:end
/endmacro

Macro Express is probably the best macro program out. Grab yourself a copy and just make a macro to do it ingame with a delay pretty simple stuff. Only problem is then your playing with a 3rd party program, macroing is also a nono... so....

LodenBohls · 08-23-2003, 12:01 PM

I'm almost positivie that macro'ing is allowed, it just become illegal when its unattended.

Can be any gamepad or any gamepad-like device
Just download or install the software that comes with it and read online how to make it into a 'turbo' button via the software.

Wow. Thanks for the Macro Express, guys! Works like a charm. Should have all of my alts spell skills maxed by tommorrow morning.

Is there any way to make that program capture mouse movements in EQ?

Searyx · 08-24-2003, 05:10 PM

Try reading the instructions.

Aanya · 08-25-2003, 12:27 AM

Theres also Macroquest, at http://macroquest.sourceforge.net however im 100% positive that this program is illegal and will get you banned eventually since it attaches itself to the client's memory directly and injects modified commands etc.

Another EQ macro program is Xylobot at www.xylobot.com. It doesnt attach to EQ's memory like Macroquest does, but instead reads the log file and allows for some impressive stuff by doing so. Its far harder to detect for SoE than Macroquest is. (read: impossible unless you do some very stupid shit)

Morb · 08-25-2003, 04:50 AM

Searyx, you fucktard, have you even tried a macro involving the mouse yet? Due to the way EQ locks the mouse, the macros don't work with it (the mouse moves fine outside of EQ, but once you lock it in EQ, it doesn't).

Point out where the instructions have a "if you're using MacroExpress with EverQuest..." section and I'll eat my words.
