I'm looking into this. It's not a bug with the beta I need to fix it in the launcher. Basically for mods to work they have to be added as resource packs into the game engine. When I register the resource packs it initialises the sound engine (the first time things load this is triggered) but then sometimes (and this is the pain in the ****, because it seems to depend on timing) the game tries to initialise the sound at the same time and fails, causing no sounds to work. I think I need to change the order things happen but not exactly sure what will cure it. I'll post a liteloader update when I figure it out.

Heh, probably a bit overkill but yes, it's a big mod and doing as much as it does without touching a single base class is bloody difficult, there are several abstraction layers working together to create a coherent system which presents itself to the outside observer as a simple mod.

But it's like an iceberg, 90% of the mod isn't event apparent that it exists until invoked either via a script command or via hooking the more esoteric features built in to the macro preprocessor such as recursive compilation or pre-compilation conditionals.

Some of the most advanced parts of the internals don't need much tweaking, because they're stand-alone subsystems in their own right, such as:

• The script executive: which is the "core" of the mod and what crunches all the numbers when all's said and done. One of the most complex bits of the mod but one of the easiest to maintain because everything else revolves around it
• The jinput subsystem: one of the cleverest parts and the one people are least likely to even know it exists, this subsystem literally decompiles the raw input buffers every frame in order to inject or supress keypresses, and capture the key and mouse driven macro triggers. This also has the ability to capture input from any device supported by jinput, such as joysticks and joypads, yes you could actually use this to provide native joypad control from minecraft if you really wanted to, if I could be bothered to document how.
• The designable GUI system: this just sits on top of everything and minds its own business, it talks to macros core as its base API, but doesn't really give a flying stuff about anything else.

Whereas conversely, some of the "simple" parts are the trickiest to maintain because they interface directly with the minecraft engine and are reliant on a lot of reflection magic to make them work at all, such as

• The environment variable providers: these hook directly onto the game engine and such are easily broken when anything small changes
• The icon managers: I've given up counting how many times Mojang have changed their minds about how textures are managed in the engine, meaning this all needs to be re-written. The transition to resource packs has been a real doozy because I've had to write resource providers for anything which needs to do clever things with textures or sounds, like the thumbnail manager, text editor and PLAYSOUND command.
• Packet-triggered events: don't even get me started.

The biggest thing to realise is that there are parts buried in this mod which would make pretty good stand-alone mods by themselves! Honestly the number of times I'm reading through the "mods" section of the forums and think, "hmm, you could do that with macros". Unfortunately it's all let down by the documentation, which is why I'm (trying) to make that a priority at the moment. You'll note that there aren't any new features in this next release and that's the main reason why.

So yeah, a lot of things take care of themselves, but testing every corner of the mod is nigh impossible, especially when there's stuff that I've forgotten exists!

I like talking about it though, this has been a labour of love for over two years now, and the scale it's reached has far surpassed my original plans but I'm very pleased with where it's gone and where it's going and it's good that people enjoy my work and appreciate the time I spend, that's the pay-off of course.

Still reading? Good, that was a test of your resolve. As a reward you get the beta. I'll put the changelog in the spoiler below. Some new features aren't ready for prime time so they've been dropped so rather than 0.10.0 this is 0.9.10 and 0.10 will follow when I've finished the current improvements. In a nutshell this is 0.9.9 with some bug fixes and updated to 1.6.2. As ever, report any bugs you find in this thread. Test as much as you can.

Changes for 0.9.10

• Updated for Minecraft 1.6.2, and believe me this was no picnic
• Kick/disconnect now properly triggers onJoinGame when rejoining
• Improvements to macro enqueue/dequeue which should prevent CoModificationException when calling STOP inside an EXEC'd task
• Fixed ECHO not working inside UNSAFE when flood protection is enabled (still prevented when flood protection is off)
• Improved escaping for | inside script actions, \| should now work as expected in regex and ECHO
• Fixed issue with array iterator position var
• Improved SETRES to work more reliably than the old version
• Added RESOURCEPACK command as an alias of TEXTUREPACK, both versions work for compatibility purposes
• API Version bump to 11

I'm having lots of issues with this lol
I put this in the onChat event, with that example script you put at the bottom.
Two things:
I don't understand the significance of the Filter flag, and two, whenever I get a message with that macro running, "recieved from" pops up in debug every time. And when I recieve money, it doesn't even work then :/. A little help please? here are the formats for the messages again:

Chat:
§7[§f4§7]§dOMGMMORPGFTW§r: Test

Whisper:
§7[WHISPER]OMGMMORPGFTW§f: Test

Money Recieve:
§dOMGMMORPGFTW§e sent you §a1 mBTC

That is already possible, there are a few variables:

HIT, HITID, HITDATA, HITNAME, HITX, HITY, HITZ

#pickaxe = 257 // Iron Pickaxe, change to ID of pickaxe
gui(inventory)
getslot(%#pickaxe%,#slot)
slotclick(%#slot%,l,true)
gui()

This Script will open your Inventory, search for a pickaxe and shift+click the pickaxe in your hotbar.

It seems that after I installed the liteloader with the installer, I can no longer use any of my other profiles online. they all automatically go to offline. also when i use the liteloader profile, Optifine seems to not be in use, though it works on my other profiles

I can't reproduce that personally. Do me a favour and at the binding screen hit ENTER and see what key code it says you're editing, and then hit RETURN and see if it says something different. 1.6.2 uses the newer LWJGL library so it's possible that there's some other keycode being sent for that key.

EDIT: Alternatively you can try the same thing in the "Controls" GUI, I just need to know if ENTER and RETURN are giving different key codes.

EDIT2: Yes it seems like there's a new keycode [156] which is [NUMPADENTER], can you let me know if your computer is sending this code.

Beta is great so far <3

I'm sorry if this has been asked already, I read through the past several pages and haven't seen anything. I wanted to know, if the chatfilter module will be updated, any estimate on when that can be released?

I think MODIFY might not work with the current liteloader, I'll post a liteloader update ASAP that fixes it.

@Edit1: are you sure you have a LABEL, not textarea or button, named "Playerlist", (first letter capitalized)?
also do not omit the \n in the Set(), i added that for a reason (spacing out the names vertically)

@Edit2:If it says it's GUIMACROPLAYBACK, then for all intents and purposes, it is.
Anything you could possibly use that name for has to do with the GUI variable anyway, and that's consistent, so...

are you sure it's not executing?
Could try IF("%GUI%" = "GUIMACROPLAYBACK") to force them both to be strings, in case they're not

1. Any way to keep the chat GUI from closing after send message? I am staff on a server and spend quite a bit of time here.
2. The list of players when you press "Tab" is colored based on rank. Any way to capture/retain this when getting the playlist?
3. We use a plugin to address issues from the players. any way to send a command to the server and capture the return text and log to only a separate text area?
