Method 1 Sequence Mode example: Cons: doesn't allow for anything more complex than three button combos...
I don't really understand why you say it can only do 3 button combos. Can you elaborate on this?

Cheers
lol, I guess I don't know for sure! Will test right now. I was wrong. Method 1 can be used to make more complex macros.

For example, I just pulled this 4-button-press one off:
F3QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ2222222222222222222223

This will help some though there is still the Con/ of interrupts potentially causing the character to execute each of separate commands.

Basically, you watch the animation and add letters until you see the movement being performed then move to the next command and add repeats until that movement is performed. The repeats allow for the built-in delay requirements of Age of Conan to be met.

Re: Sidewinder Strategic Commander problems

Unfortunately i've never played the game, so it's a bit hard to get my head around.
I understand you need the delays and you are using multiple key presses to set the delay time. But the you say the sequence gets broken. I may have to try this game to see whats going on.
But I'll look into the profile you provided failing after a while.

Re: Sidewinder Strategic Commander problems

It says you are using Vista Home Premium on the left hand side
It really shouldn't matter all that much that your on XP, but if you could try it on Vista I would really appreciate it !!

Why dont you use the M$ software if you are on XP 32?

1. M$ software setup is tricky. I have to "force" install drivers from the Device Manager
2. The M$ software lacks an option for Mouse Wheel Up/Down and this game is so complex that I need every possible input option. lol

Re: Sidewinder Strategic Commander problems

Could you please add a single delay button duration 1.5 seconds?
I've been experimenting and the freeze ups don't occur when there is only one delay command in the macro. However, the Age of Conan combos require a 1.25-1.5 second delay so I have been putting two delay commands in the box (delay1second+delay500ms)

Thanks.

Can and will do. I might even add a slider that lets you set the delay time. I think that will be more practical .

I've also been requested to add the Recording feature which will be fun to try and work out.

I'll try and get an update out next week to you guys.

Re: Sidewinder Strategic Commander problems

You`ll find the file a side before here in this thread:
Sidewinder Strategic Commander problems




I have a problem with this program:
When I try to open the program, I get this message:

Run-time error `76`
Path not found

The sidewinder is connected to a Gigabyte P35 DS4 (Vista 64bit) and in the device manager correct list as an Hid/USB Hid device.
