FreeBagSlots Update and Macro question. REPOST

[Wewpt]

I apologize in advance, after having searched for info on the FreeBagSlots plugin, I posted a reply in the original thread in the Suggestions Forum. Probably should have just started a new thread here and asked....so here I am :) Actually on further thought, I probably should have broken this topic up, but kinda late now :o

Heya Sarf. Any chance of FreeBagSlots being updated to work with the new ver of Cosmos?

Also, and this is a bit off topic but....

I'm having problems trying to get info on how to create even the simplest macros..maybe I'm just not getting it I don't know.

Unfortuneately there is very little info on the net about making your own, the only site I could find that claimed to have detailed macros and info, was a pay site...I was wondering if you either know where I can find more detailed info, or....can at least solve a small problem for me.

I wanted to make an assist macro, but it doesn't seem to work.

The only command I put in was /assist %t

I assumed this would assist whoever I currently had targeted but it gives me an odd error (Unknown Unit if I remember). Any clue how to make this work?

What I'd *really* like, is a way to flag an individual in the group as the 'puller', and be able to auto assist at the push of a button, this would eliminate the problem I am having at the moment of not being able to quickly target the correct mob...any chance of this becoming a teeny plugin for Cosmos? :)

>>End Paste>>

The plugin would also reset the flag of coarse, if the flagged member left the group, or if the group disbanded. A option to assist a non group member as well, or instead, would also be desireable for raids and such.

Hmm ...

Maybe I didn't read it all, or missed something ..

wouldn't creating a macro that said ..

/assist <player_name>

and then dragging that to your bar do it? I use that all the time, to automaticly target whatever traget the player_name is targeting.

to fix bagslot add on, open up the TOC file in the add on directory. Change the Interface number to 4114 (4115 is current, but 4114 is still compatible) and save it. That's all you need to do.

[Spotter]

You can do the one click macro like above, or just press the Function key that the player is, (ie 4th party member is F4), then press "F"

Granted it's 2 keys and requires a little fore thought, but it works swell for me.

That help any?

I'll work on my AddOns in a while (OR if the EU beta get patched with the US patch). I need some time or sufficient incentive to do it. If I update my AddOns now, people with the EU beta (including me) can't use them.

Thus, for me it's better if people learn how to do this themselves, esp since there will be an AddOn Selection UI in which you can override stuff yourself (see the thread on the official forum).

Basically, for now... In my .toc files do this:

Change :
## Interface: 4062

To:
## Interface: 4114

Hey, what exactly does the freebagslot add-on do? I have seen it on the site with the file downloads, but I haven't been able to find out.

Also, I was having the same macro problem with /follow. I tried to make one that would allow me to follow the targeted player, so I made it /follow %t (and also tried /f %t ) but I got the same error. The guide for the game even said that %t should work to be able to make it universal and not for just one player specifically. As soon as I get home (i have the game on my laptop so I SHOULD be able to play at school right now, but for some reason I can't get connected. It was working this morning and ever since the final stress test >>), I'll try what was suggested. I hope it works.

Finally, if I wanted to go about changing that thingy in the files myself, what program do I use to open them? Would notepad work?

[sarf]

FreeBagSlot shows a little number that tells you how many free slots each bag has. Optionally, you can make it show how many slots each bag has totally, too, so 8/16 for example would indicate 8 free slots out of 16.

I think /follow is restricted to players in your group, but I am unsure.

Notepad would work fine.

You can create the macro using simply /follow with no %t and it will follow whoever you have selected.

You can follow any non-npc character.

Just a note: FreeBagSlots has been updated. It now has an option to only show the total numebr of slots available. This works great with AllInOneInventory.

Oh, and above post by me :P Forgot to log in.

Thank you so much. I realized however that you can just click shift+f. But it's still nice to figure it out anyway. ^_^

And as for freebagslots, this is an awesome add-on. I hda originally thought it gave you more bag slots, from the name o_O, but this is even better (as the other would probably be illegal).

*EDIT* I just wanted to suggest something. On the site where you keep all of your add-on downloads, you should have a picture or text file in each add-ons page that describes or shows what the add-on does, like the picture you have on the allinoneinventory page and the picture on the weaponbutton page. This way it is easy to figure out exactly what the add-on does without having to download it first or search through these forums to find the thread for it.
