Will this allow me to reverse the mouse wheel up and mouse wheel down functions?

Quote from Lhenai

anyone can help how to configure this, i have no idea how to use this mod,
the only config i want to make is like if i hit the arrow key (up) it will toggle hold on the left mouse button for auto mining

thanks for the help

1. Press and hold <SNEAK> then press <APOSTROPHE> (or whatever key you like, change "Macro Activate" in the options)
2. When you see the GUI press the up arrow key
3. Type in the following code:

   $${do;key(attack);loop}$$

4. Click save and then close the GUI.

However, this will run forever, to stop it you need to press <APOSTROPHE> on it's own, you will see the running macro and can click the little x to make it stop. Alternatively you can bind a key to stop the macro like this:

1. Press and hold <SNEAK> then press <APOSTROPHE>
2. When you see the GUI press the key you want to bind to stop the macro
3. Type in the following code:

   $${stop(up)}$$

4. Click save and then close the GUI.

You're all set. Be sure to type in the codes exactly as shown.

Will this allow me to reverse the mouse wheel up and mouse wheel down functions?

Sorry no, I am looking to add support for this in a future version but it's tricky because of the rather unpredictable nature of the way different OS's report mouse wheel movement.

Hmm. I appear to of found a hug :3 I have NUMPAD3 set to tp someone to me, and I have to press it twice for the gui to pop up, same with NUMPAD7 which tps me to someone.

You're absolutely right, someone already pm'd me this bug. I will be releasing a fixed version shortly as this is pretty annoying. Sorry about that.

Can you also do this with bows?

Yes, although it takes a bit of fine-tuning:

$${pick(261);do;do(25);key(use);loop;wait(10ms);loop}$$

pick(261) will select your bow if you have one on your hot bar. The 25 is the number of ticks to pull back the bow string for, so use a higher number to draw back longer, smaller number for less. The 10ms wait is the amount of time to release the bow string for, about 10ms is the shortest you can really get away with to make sure the string does release, you can use larger values for a longer delay between shots. Like last time you'll need to bind another key to make it stop or it will fire forever!!! :wink.gif:

For some reason i installed the 1.8.1 version of this mod and it worked but when i un installed it the mod kept showing controls for the mod even when i don't have the mod in my minecraft.jar (Numpad 8 Numpad 4) and one last thing i had the mod on before and the controls were doubled! (there were two of the same numpad controls) now i dont want the mod because it's taking space from my controls menu (and no i dont have the same mod in my mods folder twice and no i dont have the mod in my minecraft.jar)
Belive me its a good mod but i dont want this much space for my controls menu :sad.gif:

EDIT: This is just a suggestion can you make a mod where you can have those >> and << buttons in the controls menu so your controls menu doesn't get cramed up with mods that add controls because if you have a lot of mods that add controls in you wont be avaible to see all of them because all of them are at the bottom of the screen hiding

I can't think of any reason the key binds would hang around after removing the mod, deleting the .zip is all that's required to remove it and then the keybinds won't be added any more (they're added on-the-fly so there's nowhere for them to persist). Try setting mod_Macros=off in the ModLoader.cfg, this should permanently disable it even if random files are hanging around somewhere.

I have already been asked to create the << >> thing as a standalone mod so I will be working on this as soon as I get time. :smile.gif:

Just turn on simple GUI to see what it was like, and got lost as how to put it back. Ended up deleting the macros config setting file.... anyway now I just discovered all I had to do was to press (<SNEAK KEY> + APOSTROPHE ) twice to get the GUI option screen back.... oh well...

Should like put that bit of information on the frontpage. Or maybe add an [option] button on the right side for the simple gui.

Anyway good mod only just got around to trying it today now that more mods are being updated to 1.0... looks great so far, I'm hoping I should finally be able to put to bed the Autohotkey scripts I was using for worldedit commands.

One question though.. I haven't looked at the mod fully yet... but is it possible to set a bind key that can toggle the commands of other binded keys... so say I set up a bunch of commands on keys: [Y,U,I,O,H,J,K] and then wanted to use another key say [P] which could be used to toggle/or cycle change the macros on those previous set of keys ie [Y,U,I,O,H,J,K] to completely different commands...is it possible?

Good point about the simple GUI, I'll update the OP. I mentioned it in the video but I totally forgot to add it to the instructions! Derp. Some kind of options button is a good idead too.

Re: binding keys to switch: yes absolutely! This is what configs are for, simply make a config like say WorldEdit and then bind a key to $${config(worldedit)}$$ to switch to that config. You can either then choose to make the key global (in which case it will always switch to that config, or you could bind it to switch back to another config :smile.gif: Hope this is what you're looking for. As a side note, if you make a config using the server hostname as the config name then it will be automatically selected when you connect to the server.

hmm it doesn't seem possible to set up different commands on the same key using ctrl,shift modifiers?? :S

Looks like you can only setup one macro command on a key, the choice of key modifier that invokes the macro, doesn't allow for different macro commands on the same key ... is this right or am I missing something?

Actually it is indeed completely possible. I'm struggling to balance keeping the GUI simple (so as to make this easy to use for everyone) and providing powerful features which make the mod handy for power users. To this end most of the involved stuff is achieved with the scripting capability. The main problem here is that I haven't had chance to update the documentation for 0.7 yet!!

The way this is achieved is with conditionals, which actually means you can use any key at all as a modifier, not just CTRL, ALT and SHIFT. The latter modifiers have associated global flags which you can use for brevity, alternatively you can reference any other key using its LWJGL key name, prefixed with "KEY_". I'll give an example:

IF(CTRL)
  ECHO("Do this command when CTRL is held down")
ELSE
  IF(SHIFT)
    ECHO("Do THIS command if shift is down but CTRL isn't")
  ELSE
    IF(KEY_A)
      ECHO("Execute this command instead if the user is holding down the A key")
    ENDIF
  ENDIF
ENDIF

This is a fairly complex example, but you should get the idea. This code can go in a file (which you can create in-game) which you can then bind to a key. Note that for simpler scripts which you just want to put directly in the macro, it's necessary to separate commands using pipe or semicolon:

$${IF(CTRL);ECHO("CTRL is down");ELSE;ECHO("CTRL isn't down");ENDIF}$$

I recommend using files though as they're easier to edit. To do this just begin binding the key, but before entering the bind click the "Edit File..." button, enter your script, then when you've finished, enter the following to bind the file to the key:

$${$$<file.txt>}$$

Then click Save. Notice that we include the script tags $${ and }$$ in the outer macro but you could of course include them in the file instead if you choose.

Hopefully this covers enough to get you started, I realise it probably seems a bit involved but it's a tradeoff to achieve the level of versatility that I'm aiming to provide. Also apologise if any of the code I mentioned doesn't work exactly right, I'm on a train and if I tried to run Minecraft on my laptop then it would catch fire.

If I was to redo something like that with this mod, would it mean I'd need to have 4 separate .txt files for each function like SetStone()... which sends a message to chat to showing what command the key is going to be set to.. for worldedit.

This is what I was mentioning with configs, you could just set up 4 configs (we1, we2, we3, we4 for example) with different binds in each and a key to toggle between them. This remaps all keys which aren't defined as global in 1 single step. Use the LOG script action to just send messages to the chat log without sending them as chat commands.

You don't need multiple scripts per key if you make the script itself key-sensitive, you can also use conditionals to detect what key invoked the macro (sorry, again the documentation isn't finished yet) using KEYID and KEYNAME. You could use the following script to keep all your binds in one place:

IF(KEYNAME=="Y");ECHO("Key Y bind");ENDIF;
IF(KEYNAME=="U");ECHO("Key U bind");ENDIF;
IF(KEYNAME=="I");ECHO("Key I bind");ENDIF;

You could either have different scripts in each config or use the CONFIG variable in a single script as well:

IF(CONFIG="we1");
  IF(KEYNAME=="Y");ECHO("Key Y bind");ENDIF;
  IF(KEYNAME=="U");ECHO("Key U bind");ENDIF;
  IF(KEYNAME=="I");ECHO("Key I bind");ENDIF;
ELSE;
  IF(CONFIG)="we2");
    IF(KEYNAME=="Y");ECHO("Key Y bind 2");ENDIF;
    IF(KEYNAME=="U");ECHO("Key U bind 2");ENDIF;
    IF(KEYNAME=="I");ECHO("Key I bind 2");ENDIF;
  ENDIF;
ENDIF;

I never bothered with that part of the script for long :biggrin.gif: went back to just typing '//set dirt' or whatever block id, than cycling through such a small selection of quicker binds...I'm sure you get the idea, and now I've got '//set $$i' which is even better.

Had a look at that, was thinking maybe another scrollable list $$ii (or whatever) done in similar style (or user configured filtered id list), only without with all the items that you can't use on a WorldEdit selection, so it only shows materials you could apply to a block selection. Then a keybinded macro like '//set $$ii' could prompt with that filtered list instead.

Yes this is do-able, I'm looking at overhauling the items list anyway as it could be a lot better, so I'll add this ability as well.

Quote from Koogle

Another question is user defined variables that could be inserted into other macro... say I wanted a key [+] to cycle through a bunch of numbers like 1,32,64 applying that number to a custom variable like $$size ... and then in another example macro I could have key [#] set to '//give $$i $$size'

Yes this is also on the pending features list. I'm adding features to the script engine at a measured pace so that I can be sure it remains stable. Hence providing just the script functions at first, then adding loops, then conditionals and flags. Counters are the next stage.

Quote from Chappro

Hey Mumfrey,
I'm trying to bind a key to UP to delay typing /home but when I try to open the GUI nothing happens, i hold CTR but when i press APOSTROPHE the Green message saying "<Press a Macro to Execute>" disappears and goes back to the game.
Any help?
Thanks

To activate the GUI press <SNEAK>+<APOSTROPHE>, if that doesn't work then re-bind the key for macro activate to something else as some keyboards seem to map those keys differently. <CTRL> is used for the override function.

Can't wait for the fix or double pressing NUMPAD3 and 7, also if you have time, click on my signature and try out my survival map!

I'll hopefully have this done today, there's a couple of other small things to put in 0.7.2 as well but latest will be tomorrow.

I've uploaded version 0.7.2 which fixes this issue and also fixes an issue with conditional script operators being case-sensitive :smile.gif:

Quote from NeuroByrst

Is it possible to make a button hit / place a block?
Or make a toggle-able sneak.

Yes, use the same codes as above but replace "attack" with "use".

oh, and here's my vid

Awesome, thank you!

please please Respond!!!

Can you make it work with XRay mod??

I tried the mod you linked to and it works without issues, just install as normal and you're set.

I forgot to upload this the other day, here is the stand-alone version of the paginated "Controls" screen. Just place the .zip file in your "mods" directory:

Download link: mod_extendedcontrols_0.1_for_1.0.0.zip

Obviously if you're using mod_macros then you don't need this, but if you want the improved Controls screen alone then this is what you need.

Quote from goughy1210

wow did it take long to make?

The << and >> buttons part or the whole mod? The standalone buttons I actually did on friday but forgot to upload it! The macros mod I've been working on since June.

Quote from Neon_ColorsFTW22

Thanks for the >> and << buttons your a life saver :biggrin.gif:

No problem, I was really hoping that 1.0 would provide a better Controls GUI which would make it redundant but oh well.

Quote from blockout22

nice mod will download soon to check it out :biggrin.gif: also v0.7?? shouldnt this be in WIP forums?

I'm a full-time software developer and versioning habits are hard to break; game mods are a little hard to conform to normal versioning though because they're almost always "work in progress". Game modding is a hobby for me and I don't plan to stop adding features until I genuinely run out of ideas - which won't be soon. The versioning I tend to adopt for mods is to start at 0.0 and work up, with the first released version being 0.1 and subsequent releases being 0.2, 0.3, etc.

If you look at the forum rules you'll see that the WIP section is basically for mods which are being developed, don't necessarily have a download, are looking for help or ideas etc. This forum is for released mods which are largely feature complete or at least stable, and have a download link, images, and all that jazz. So no, this is the correct section, the versioning numbers are largely irrelevant, just because it's < 1.0 doesn't mean it's not a release version, imagine that it says 7.0 if it makes you happier :smile.gif:

i selected simple gui or whatever and now i can't find a way to change it back to the more advanced gui. HELP!

Sorry, I meant to add this to the OP and completely forgot. When you press the key combo (sneak + activate) to bind a key, press it again and you will get the settings screen and can then disable "simple gui" mode.
