Crafting menu and macro questions/issues

Artscrafter · 2nd October 2007, 11:05 PM

I just reactivated my account after hearing that UO:KR was out (yeah, I know, a bit late but whatever.) So far it's looking really good! I just have a couple of issues with my crafting characters.

The new crafting menus are really cool - I love how you can make multiple items with one click and all. However, there seem to be some problems with the make a set number option. First, is there any setting to make that ignore failures? It's a bit annoying when I'm cranking out a bunch of an item with a less than 100% success rate for a BOD or something and I can't just make 15 because every third one fails and halts the automation.

Secondly, is there any graceful way to change the number? If I've got a two-digit number in the field and I put the cursor after it and hit backspace, the entire menu refreshes and the number field loses focus.

Also, I'm having a little trouble with setting up a mining macro. Trying to make an equivalent to my old Last Item -> Wait for Target -> Last Target macro fails for the apparent lack of a simple Last Target command. (Cursor Last Target doesn't work.) Target by Resource is a cool idea in theory, but you have to reset the macro every time you change shovels and when I'm up against a long rock face, the UI literally halts for about a second while trying to target every rock square at once (and then it spams my system messages box with 5-6 lines of "You cannot see that location" before I get the "you dig some ore" line.) Is there a better way to set this up?

Welcome to UO Forums and back to UO Artscrafter

At this time there is no way for it ignore failed attempts. Please send in a bug report on this. I sent one in a long time ago. The set number can't be above ten (or the last I knew it couldn't). I hope they change that soon too.

On mining I suggest that you send in a bug that would allow "use item type". That way you will not have to redo it everytime a shovel/pickaxe wears out. I haven't had a problem with "target by resource". In fact it has worked really well for me
