Training via Macros to save my sanity / health
Greetings everyone. I come bearing a question:
Is it possible to create a macro that lets you train your skills, without breaking your mouse, or your arm?
As of late, I've got it down to almost being a fully complete and self sufficient macro, but I can't quite get the last step.
As it is, with the line of work I'm in, and already having pulled a muscle in my arm recently, clicking like mad in order to train is giving me hell.
If anyone can offer some suggestions or tips on how to fix or otherwise create a better macro, it would be appreciated.
If necessary, I can give the details of my current macro, which is all done from within the UO Client.

Hi Wryson
What are you trying to train and how are you trying to train it?

Re: Training via Macros to save my sanity / health
There is no one specific skill I am training, but the methodology of the training is the same.
In essence, I use my skill to analyze an item, be it a dagger, an enemy, myself, a barrel, a fish, or any other item. If I succeed, I get a window to appear with the information of the item, and then an option to close it via a button, or right clicking.
My in-UO macro will handle all of it, except for closing the window. No matter what option I use within UO itself, I cannot close the window, EXCEPT the full close of all gumps. Sadly, if I use that option, the system is forced into a permanent "still in use" status, and I cannot use any skill, or perform any actions, as something else is already being done.
As a result, I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. Either right/left click manually, or be prevented from doing anything at all.

Drop gold over a vendors head and train your skill. Very little clicking involved.
If you've started a disciple and are trying to train anatomy I think there is no option but clicking.
I believe that UOLoop is usable with Valhalla but I've never used it myself.

Re: Training via Macros to save my sanity / health
I am speaking more of training a skill beyond the point which a trainer can help you. The macro I build in UO itself allows for everything except the pop-up window at the end. That doesn't close. if I use an option within the macro to close the gump, it gets into an endless "You are already doing something" loop, and I can no longer click anything.

There is no point beyond which the trainer cannot help you. Skills are trainable right to the skill cap on Valhalla.

Re: Training via Macros to save my sanity / health
There most certainly is a point where the trainer cannot help you. That point is when you cannot afford it.
This is why I'm working on the macro. Everything seems peachy except the last bit. Then the whole system breaks down, or it goes into an infinite "You are already doing something else." loop.
