I've never denied that the current click functions are a kluge. It's just the only way I could think of to use the information I had at hand to determine screen locations. With fixes to the initial code it's worked fairly well, and it does have the benefit of not requiring new offsets/etc. if they add a screen location. All we have to do is add that location to locations.txt.

That being said I'd much rather invoke everything directly, if only to solve the persistent problems with custom UI's... and I'm sticking to my guns about any solution to this problem not requiring a specific UI or the default UI.

One big question: is this direct invocation going to work with scroll bars? Current location parsing and clicking does not allow manipulation of these elements, and changing that would be a major fix.

I remember back in the day when you didn't need to move the scrollbars to access merchant or corpse slots. I don't know too much about all this, but I'm willing to bet that we'll be able to get that functionality back again.

As for the current /click... Dude, it's been a godsend, even with the delays. After MQ went down for all that time, and next to Nothing worked, I had taken some time away from the game to sort out things, get my skydive on, work on my job, etc. I figured the project was dead (yeah, I know, no faith in the devs, hehe). Imagine my shock when I checked it out, out of curiosity, and found everything working again :P

Oh, and Doodman:
What AMadMonk is referring to is memory locations and class structure, not screen locations. If we were talking about screen locations, you'd be absolutely right -- and thus we wouldn't be using this method. :)

One last thing McKorr -- if and when all the elements work without clicking, I'd still like to see /click stick around, even in its detoured form.
Live your dreams! Blue Skies everyone
