Well, the first working version is up, you can download from my sad attempt at a website, link in sig. It's a big 'ol 5 minute download on cable.


Future version will include specific PvP and PvM combat music, and 'danger' music when critters near - it's coded but waiting on a fix for AC Tool to be able to include that.

Very nice , so i will need actool for that i guess ?

Oh yes AC Tool, download for that as well on my site, and a good readme file with instructions included in the zip file.


If I had one tenth of the skill, talent, and knowledge of even the lowliest Decal plugin developer, I'd write this as a plugin.


Off topic, but you know, I used to be one of the most vocal dev bashers on the boards. If something wasn't perfect, I'd bitch and complain. And these good folks were grinding out plugins for all of us, for free.


You know what made me finally shut my damn mouth? Learning to write, and suffering through actually writing, a few simple macros scripts. Quite a humbling experience. I bought a few books on C# thinking I'd just 'pick up' that language. I open them and stare at them as if aliens landed last night and placed them on my desk.


Most AC players have no idea what it takes in hard work and committment to write a Decal plugin.

hell yea!


i took what i was tought in school about BASIC(not visual) and learned to write in ACTool. i have loads of respect for the decal team and plugin creators.


IMO : you should only be able to run any script/macro/plugin you wrote yourself! *evil grin*

doesn't seem to work for me

I have ac tool 5.4.0 and winamp 5.24

I started it all up in the was you describe in the read me , the macro is running but doesnt do anything when i enter a town .


Edit : fixed it , i had to chenge this line this line : "ExecProgram C:\Programme\winamp\WinAmp.exe $Music"


and put the music files in that directory , going to play arround a bit with it and let you know what i think.

Ahh yes my bad, this has been fixed, noted in readme


- install WinAmp.exe into Macros folder

- unzip music into Macros folder

I've listened to the music so i know winamp works, I've installed all neccessary stuff to macros folder however when I run the macro it goes in an endless loop and the music does not play

- Ensure that the file location in the last procedure in the macro, points to your installation location.


- Default is: C:\Program Files\AC Tool\Macros


- An error on my part caused the first version that I had uploaded to have an incorrect file location here. The current version on my site has corrected this.


- Ensure that WinAmp.exe exists in this folder, and also that all of the music is placed in this folder.

Well I desided to mess around with the macro and took an unreasonable amount of time and added functionality to automaticly get the locations of winamp and the mp3s.
