 |

|
|
Okay so I'm on my 'Default' Macro. I have a macro called 'Macro1'.
Next, I ?savemacro Macro1 then ?loadmacro Macro1 and try a macro. However, the macro that comes out is still part of my 'Default' macroes.
How do I do it so I can change which set of macroes I'm using without going to Alt+Tab and stuff? Or is ?save/load macro supposed to do something completely different. |

| It seems you overwrote Macro1 with Default when you typed '?savemacro Macro1'. |

?loadmacro and ?savemacro does something completely different then what the menus in alt-tab mode do.
?loadmacro and ?savemacro save files with .mac extension, while the other method saves it into a single file.

I recommend you to save your 'default' macro set with ?savemacro default, and use the auto-message box in your profile to have it loaded by default when you log in
?savemacro and ?loadmacro saves the whole macro set, not just one macro...

Each profile can have it's own macro set anyway. |

yes, but the macro sets defined per profile are those set in the chat window/ctrl-m dialog, whereas using a ?loadmacro command on enter will use macros that have been saved with ?savemacro. if you load a profile's macro set, and then change any macros (even by ?loadmacro to get a whole new set) those changes will overwrite the saved copy of the macros. that's useful if you want to retain a macro the next time you visit an arena, but obviously can be very frustrating if you want to keep the original saved version.
i personally use ?loadmacro and ?savemacro exclusively, with a ?loadmacro among my auto entry commands.
another tip: change the macro definition keys to give you at least full range of the function keys (i use all 20 macro slots), and set one macro to be ?loadmacro <name>. this is very useful if you accidentally overwrite macros when a sentence or command is halftyped and you hit a macro key. of course, that can't be saved in game -- use the chat window editor and then ?savemacro the result, or edit the .mac file directly.
hope that helped
