Macro Express Macros for Empiriana
(Empcro)

Macro Express (ME) is a handy tool for gaming with Empiriana. With ME you can record, edit and play back mouse and keyboard movements. How can that improve Empiriana?

Things that are tedious can now be automized. I wanted the ability to press a key and the larger map to come up. I wanted the ability to press a key the Heal or Mana button during combat. I wanted to press a button and change my melee weapon to a ranged one. Possible...? With ME it is.

Macro Express Interface.

I plan on showcasing a tutorial on how these macros were created. But, at the moment, I'm too lazy to do it. So, here's a capture of the help I gave Seeka when she first learned of ME.

In Macro Express, turn on Mouse Locater under Tools. Temporarily change your resolution to the 640x480 dpi setting. Now back in Emp, place your mouse where you need the mouse press to take place.

Alt-Tab back to Macro Express and write down the XY coordinates of where the mouse is. Back in Emp, enter the inventory screen and move the bit of inventory that will change often to the top of the item list. Place your mouse over that item, Alt-Tab to ME, get mouse location.

Back in Emp, place mouse over the inventory slot to move the topmost item in list to and Alt-Tab to ME and record location. Now write down the location of the Done button.

Now comes the touchy part.

Back at the desktop of Windows, pretend to be within Emp, and enter your inventory move the item and press Done. Now go into ME and edit that new macro to the exact spots that you've written down. Add any perks that you prefer. I added the ability to store the previous location of the mouse and restore it when finished with the macro. I also removed various delays in the execution.

That's how I did it. Granted I've only been playing with ME for a bit; but, it does work very nicely!

So, your first step is to gain a copy of Macro Express (3115 k). Then you need to import my macros (2 k). And then finally, enjoy the new features of Emp.
