Okay we all know I posted a way to display item durability earlier but, since then I have been messing with a few of the feature of macromod and have discovered there is a much much much easier way for doing exactly what we did in the last rather complex tutorial so consider this the follow update that was promised, This one will update on inventory slot change and on repairing (for donators who have the repair feature). Ok so when we are done it is going to look similar to the one displayed in the picture below: (Yes I was in the middle of setting up my GUI to display my armor durability on screen when I discovered this.) First up we need to make a label just like before so that we have somewhere to display our durability, To do this press your Macro Activate key (can be found in controls in your pause menu if you have no idea what yours is) and click the little symbol in the bottom right corner that says "GUI editor" when you roll your mouse over it, then in the lower left hand corner of the screen is a "Button Panel Commands" button click that then click on "Add Label" as shown below: Once you click "Add Label" and choose a place for your label, a smaller interface should appear, in this screen you must set the "Label text" Field to say "Durability: %%" as also shown below: Ok and lastly, you need to change the "binding" field to say "DURABILITY" (below): Then just hit ok and your done, as simple as that. One hell of a difference compared to the complexity of the last one I wrote. I barely got any Pm's about my last more complex tutorial so I am hoping due to the simplicity of this one I won't get any, But if you do need a hand, send me a forum Pm and I'll help you out.
Hm.... If I want to change this, do I just follow these steps or do I have to delete everything from before?
You do not have to delete everything from before but it would be advised as it keeps unnecessary macros out of your client, trust me you don't want too many, I have so many I cannot remember what half of them do. Nuuu, my balance!!!!!!
You should give me... oh idk... 10% for noticing that twice now. Did you see my repair loop thread? Thanks for the start Jakey!
How do I get the display to stay up without activating the macro key? Works great when I hit the activate macro key but as soon as I go back to the game it goes away with it. Thoughts? Thanks for the great tutorial!
If you (correctly) followed the tutorial there is no need for a macro activate button. This creates a new display on your gameplaying screen completely separate of chat.
I clicked around and finally found how to set the screens. I was modifying the default screen which was only applied to the macro page. Sorry.
It only shows up when i hit the macro activate button. Im doing something wrong. Someone plz tell me what that is xD.
You need to put it under the "ingame" screen. Go into your macro settings -> select GUI Editor at the bottom right (the crossed tools icon) -> click on "ingame" on the left and place the label there.
Yeah it is very simple, you just need to make it check the durability and if its below a certain amount it will put color codes there, so about 200 hits it may put &a and make it green if its below 100 it may put &c or &6 for a sort of orange/getting low kind of color and less then 50 put something like &4 as in danger could break anytime soon would not be a hard macro to make
Could you please explain very very simply how to do it....? I have no idea how to write my own macros...
