link.mac (Item Links Storage)

kagonis · Post by **kagonis** » Fri Aug 22, 2003 9:06 pm

Well, I was bored, and I was tired of allways asking for that link for some item that I like to drool over, so I made this to store the links for me.

There is a reason that I add a dash before and after the link, for some reason the link doesn't work when displayed otherwise.

Code: Select all

#turbo
#define INIPATH "d:\games\mq\ini\links.ini"
Sub Main
	/if "$p0"=="add" {
		/if "$p1"=="" /call Syntax
		/call ListKeys empty
		/if n $return==0 {
			/echo No empty keys were found.
			/endmacro
		}
		/ini "INIPATH" "Links" "$int($return)" "- $p1 -"
		/echo Added: Key: $return - Value: $p1
	} else /if "$p0"=="edit" {
		/if n $strlen("$p1")>3 /call Syntax
		/if "$p2"=="" /call Syntax
		/ini "INIPATH" "Links" "$int($p1)" "- $p2 -"
		/echo Updated: Key: $p1 - Value: $p2
	} else /if "$p0"=="list" {
		/call ListKeys echo
	} else {
		/call Syntax
	}
/return

Sub ListKeys
	/if "$p0"!="echo" /if "$p0"!="empty" {
		/echo Syntax: /call ListKeys <echo|empty>
		/endmacro
	}
	/varset l0 0
	:Loop
		/varadd l0 1
		/if "$p0"=="echo" /if n $strlen("$ini("INIPATH","Links","$int($l0)")")>8 /echo Key: $int($l0) // $ini("INIPATH","Links","$int($l0)")
		/if "$p0"=="empty" /if n $strlen("$ini("INIPATH","Links","$int($l0)")")==8 /return $int($l0)
	/if n $l0<100 /goto :Loop
/return 0

Sub Syntax
		/echo Syntax: /macro link <add|edit|list> ["link"|key] ["link"]
		/echo Example: /macro link add "Some Item Link"
		/echo Example: /macro link edit 5 "Some Item Link"
		/echo Example: /macro link list
		/endmacro
/return

Hmmm do the items show as links?

All i seem to get is 00273236ESword

They should, they do for me. But I had to put some thing before and after the actual link, in the ini file, otherwise it would show just a hexnumber and the item text.

It is adding items to the ini, but when I do /macro link list I do not get a list of links, just /echo's of the item names . This is an example:

/macro link list

[Macroquest] Key: 1 // - Two Tined Corpse Pitchfork -
[Macroquest] Key: 2 // - The Putrid Fish -

Well my links.ini looks like this:

[Links]
1=- 002904744E507A1Bloodmetal -

that correct?

This shouldn't work because of VI changing the way Links worked. Origionally people could create links by just experimenting and VI decided they didn't want people knowing what all was available.

well the problem is with parameters are parsed by space and most item names have spaces in them. The script technically works perfect really, but this is the problem.

ie:

Code: Select all

0025024A1CF3BC9Mask   of    War
|----$p0----------|  |$p1| |$p2|

to fix this is simple. Just put quotes around the item to add to the list.
ie:

Code: Select all

/macro link add "0025024A1CF3BC9Mask of War"

EDIT: The numbers are just there to show its a link. Really its just the text

Nice job on the script btw.

For the items I listed I typed:

Code: Select all

/macro link add "Two Tined Corpse Pitchfork"
/macro link add "The Putrid Fish"

and the result in the ini is:

Code: Select all

[Links]
1=- Two Tined Corpse Pitchfork -
2=- The Putrid Fish -

Is there any other condition I am missing? I don't see how you are getting numbers preceding the item name.

Uhm, first of all, I think some of you missed the point of this macro ;)

Its not one that makes a link out of an item name, its one for storing links you want to be able to dig out late and drool over..

Ie..
You type:
/macro link add "
then you clidk on the gfx that pastes a link, and ends the line with "
So the complete line looks like:
/macro link add "Some link here"
But to MQ it looks more like
/macro link add "[]2342342e32aSome link here[]"

[] is to illustrate the special chars that define the start and end of a link.

Then I want to say that I recompiled a new MQ today after patch, and now it doesnt work anymore. It stores the links okay, but doesnt echo them out.

You can store them in aliases though

/alias /mylink001 /echo Link: "My link here"

This works still, but its messy, thats why I made the macro. Gonna try and figure out why it doesnt work anymore though.

The MQ where it worked, was from Aug. 6th. I can see. Dunno what has changed since then.
I'm gonna try and load that one back up and see if its due to the patch, or some changes in MQ.

This how the links.ini should look like..

Code: Select all

[Links]
1=- 0016257EF4F4940Signet of  the Arcane -
2=- 0012510B8DD7BDDGleaming Mesh Girdle -
3=- 0026757505B2612Ring of Resistance -
4=- 002678730667F26Wristband of Judgement -
5=- 002677029B93CD8Great Shadow Platemail -
6=- 0008364FB097F60Talisman of Vah Kerrath -

They changed the format of links today, probably has something to do with you now are able to open 4 link windows at the same time.
At least I just tried with adding a new link, and listing it. Works flawlessly.

Code: Select all

17=- 0007943-00001-00001-00001-00001-000013A95A57EBracelet of Beauty -

/macro link add "[]2342342e32aSome link here[]"

That was the problem... I didn;t understand the useage. I was not doing it that way.

I can't seem to get it to work, it keeps saying "No empty keys were found."

not sure if its my MQ or if its the script. but i'm typing /macro link add "clicking icon link" and it returns that message. Any ideas?
