Trade/Give Window Help

Post by dravidiankayne » Tue Jul 06, 2004 2:50 am

How can you find out how much cash you have placed in a trade window or a give window??

And yes...I've searched the forums and not found my answer.

And yes, I could have searched harder.

what the fuck is up with people asking this same question over and over lately. if you're going to write an afk plat macro, figure it out yourself. and then have fun when you get banned.

Simple answer.

RTFM

Seriously. Fucking read it. If you have any patience you will figure it out with a bit of searching/reading through the manual and learning how to do it, instead of having someone spoon-feed it to you.

okay since some of us are apparently not as godly-intelligent as others, I'd like to point out that I have searched the forums, I have RTFM!!!, and I have read the Read-Me and still cannot find how to do this...

So flame me for not reading the freakin message if you want, since that's what you'll do whether I read it or not, but it seems to me that if people keep asking similar questions then maybe it's because it's not as easy as you "professionals" think to search the forums for a specific thing.

Maybe there should be some form of "Using MQ2 Forums for Dummies" link on the main page or something......but until then maybe you can be a little more considerate and actually reply.

I know it might hurt your fingers to type the same response in 10,000 different forum topics, but then again a nice Ctrl-C / Ctrl-V can make that even simpler.

Bah.....

Dude,

Macroquest is sort of an intelligence test. This is because it is a very long rope from which you can hang yourself. While I couldn't give a rat's ass if you hang yourself, if you flame out in such a way that draws enough attention, the eq devs will step in and make our life difficult. I don't want this. So, you can either read this and figure it out, or you can fuck off. Additionally, if you continue to whine about the lack of support for a free product, you will find that you can no longer browse these forums. Understand?

Have a day.

ok i admit i didn't catch that. it's just i've gotten sick of all the dumbasses who somehow found out about MQ very recently all asking the same fucking questions trying to make an afk plat macro.

assuming that's not what you're asking, i'll try to actually help. after rereading your question, i actually didn't know off the top of my head how to do it. after doin a quick search of the readme and forums i didn't find much help either. i did think of one thing i could try though and it ended up working.

seeing as i dont really play more than one char, i couldn't really test the trade window thing, but after some searching and looking through the UI folder i figured out that this:

Code: Select all

${Window[InventoryWindow].Child[W_Money0].Text}
returned the amount of plat i had on me... so assuming it works the same way with trade window, which im pretty sure it does, but i can't really test it, something like this should work:

Code: Select all

${Window[TradeWnd].Child[TRDW_MyMoney0].Text}
that should return the amount of platinum YOU put in the trade window. you can change money0 to money1 for gold, 2 for silver, 3 for copper

Thx Rusty......

I see you asked for both Trade and NPC Give. So looks like you are part way there, with the give_npc window. Now you just have to find the part for trade window. Perhaps you have by now.
