Bug with Crafting and Macros?Follow

Has anyone else noticed that the command: /nextCraftingStage no longer works? Also, when I use /createPrototype, my crafting session ends immediately.

Any thoughts?

I have used my crafting macros successfully since the last update. Yes, some times your resources get eaten. BUT - I've found -

1. don't move to or from a station if they are working.
2. one tool might eat resources yet another tool will work.
3. clicking on the tool seems to cause it to eat resources more often than pressing a key to activate the tool.
4. using a shifted-function key to activate a tool causes some weird UI problem.
5. a tool which is eating can sometimes be made to work if you click or hit enter as required to create something.

The aren't going to take this out. Read the holocron-help and read the FAQ part. AFK macroing is okay according to the text there. (No they don't seem to have the EULA in agreement with that now do they.)

If they are going to taken anything out - the first thing they will take out will be "/ui action".

Hmm .. you guys wouldn't happen to be grinding crafting tools would you?


I just dropped MA this week, but have used those macros on all kinds of things, and the only time I've seen that happen was when I was grinding out some crafting tools of various kinds. I'd start one tool working, open the next, and as the first one counted down the crafting session would end and I'd lose whatever resources I had in the schematic so far. It only happened on certain things.. Is this maybe what is happening? If not, how long has this been going on?

Well unless something changed very recently ....

I'll have to fool around with it when I get home, now you have me wondering heh. It's been under a week since I used the following macro:

/nextcraftingstage;
/nextcraftingstage;
/createprototype;

All lowercase has always worked for me. By the way, for me once the commands were used I never actually SEE it move to the next crafting stage, it just sat there for a minute, then the window would close and the number on the crafting tool would begin it's little countdown.

So has anyone had the chance to test and see if SWG nerfed the commands: /nextcraftingstage and /createPrototype ?

I had someone tell me that the commands don't actually advacne the screen, they just create the item, which sounds like a bug to me, not a command. But, I tried it, and still crafting session would end and the resources were eaten. No xp.

So, if anyone knows if these commands still work or not, I for one would love to know. And if you get them to work, how do you get them to work?

Thanks!

I noticed I cannot grind on my home planet Dantoine on prime times the server lag gets so big grind craftion will fail very often with a fast grind macro.

What I did was flying to a place with less people and I had zero problems with my grind. Corelia/dabrofa guefel did it for me but if you want even les lag fly yavin or endor XD

I've successfully used a crafting macro when I chose to give up the Spices line in smuggler while working my way through Dirty Fighting; I didn't want to have to do the whole SpiceI-IV again by hand.

My macro (based on a macro from swgmedic) uses:
/nextCraftungStage;
(2x) and
/createPrototype practice no item;
(2x)

I also have a /pause 1 before it "loops" by calling a follow-up macro for the 2nd (or 3rd) crafting tool.
