Hi guys. I was hoping you all could help me out. I now have FF on more than 1 pc, and I would like to have all my macros the same on all. I don't want to have to type them all again on each machine because that would take like 5 hours. My question is this: Is it possible to copy the macro file and just overwrite it on each PC? If so would anyone happen to know what/where the related file/files are?

I don't imagine I am the only person who has wanted to or done this, because multiple macro sets for multiple jobs is pretty common. any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance

Cheers!

I just ripped this all off the Wiki: http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Macro

Storing Configuration Data on PlayOnline Servers

It is possible to store configuration data (macros, configuration settings, and map markers) on PlayOnline's servers, in addition to your game machine's own hard disk drive. You can store the configuration data for one character's worth of data on the PlayOnline servers.

Saving to the Server

At the character selection screen, highlight the character to save the data for, and press the following buttons/keys. Then choose the slot in which you want to save the configuration information for the highlighted character.

PlayStation 2: L1 button + L3 button
XBOX 360: LB + left stick button
PC/Keyboard: Shift + Alt + Ctrl + B

Restoring from the Server

At the character selection screen, highlight the character to restore the data for, and press the following buttons/keys. Then choose the slot from which you want to load the configuration information for the highlighted character.

PlayStation 2: R1 button + R3 button
XBOX 360: RB + right stick button
PC/Keyboard: Shift + Alt + Ctrl + R

Deleting Data and Restoring Default Settings

At the character selection screen, highlight the character to restore the data for, and press the following buttons/keys. Confirm deletion to restore default settings for the currently highlighted character.

PlayStation 2: R1 button + L2 button + R3 button + L3 button
XBOX 360: R2 + L2 + right stick button + left stick button
PC/Keyboard: Shift + Alt + Ctrl + D

Backing up Macros

PC client users can back up macro files while not logged on to the character. The location for files containing the macros for PC clients is at:

C:\Program Files\PlayOnline\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XI\USER\{ID}\mcr*.dat

If you use Windower and have scripts in your macros, I'd advise against uploading those to SE's servers. That may just be me being paranoid. Also, I guess you can just copy your macros stored in the aforementioned folder and simply paste them into the same folder on your other PCs.
