So I am FINALLY starting to start windower and am actually wishing I started sooner. But after looking though the windower site and various other places I have not been able to find what I need.

I need help making macros.

I keep finding the same info everywhere I look. From what I understand, I need to make something called a ".txt" file with notebook. I also gather that the extended macro should look something like this:

input /equip head "Twilight helm";
input /equip body "Lancer's plackart +2";
etc;

What I DON'T get is how to make it all work. From SS I've seen posted I see that people use a command in game that looks like

/console exec "DRGWS.txt"


Now I did this but I don't know where to put my .txt file or what to name it for it to work. Also, I'm not sure if there is anything special that is required that I am not doing. (i.e. starting the .txt file with a special term or ending everything with a certain character or whatever)

I appreciate the help and your time.

OK, I got the .txt file in the script folder. I then make a folder inside the script folder named Gitanti_DRG

Inside the Gitanti_DRG folder I have two .txt files, one named DRGTP.txt and the other DRGWS.txt

In game I have entered this into my in-game macro line:

/console exec "DRGTP.txt"


When I test this out the macro does not work and I get a windower message saying this

> Could not execute1 DRGTP.txt - File was not found. -2

These might help for a visual representation. They are old as hell since I've not used scripts in years but they do provide a picture view that shows you everything you need to know to make them.

edit: Got It!

Seems the issue was I named the .txt file drgws.txt

I took off the .txt and just left the file named as drgws

kept the in-game macro written as /console exec "DRG/drgws.txt" and it's working.

Thanks for the help everyone. I really appreciate it.

That was probably because your computer had file extensions hidden. So what you really had was a file named drgws.txt.txt

With the 2nd .txt portion being hidden. In Windows 7 this is normally turned on by default normally to allow people to rename files w/o having to be sure they didn't also adjust the extension as they renamed it.

Glad to see your problem fixed though and good hunting!
