I was just going to point and laugh, but... you did try to help yourself so...

Code: Select all

| Auction.mac

Sub Main
:loop
/auction WTS Fungi Tunic
|55 second pause
/delay 550
/goto loop
/return

Good for macro writing practice, bad idea for (ab)use.

A better way would be to look for "WTB Fungi" and alert you when it appears. Give that a go, and if you need help figuring it post what you have and I'm sure I or others will help fix it.

You might want to use events however to beep when you get a tell or if somebody says WTB Fungi

Code: Select all

| Auction.mac

#chat tell
#chat auction
#chat shout
#chat ooc
#chat chat
#define ITEM "fungi"

sub main

:loop

   | Send auction line
   /auc WTS ITEM

   | Delay for 40 - 90 seconds
   /delay $calc(40+$rand(50))s

   | Go back to start
   /goto :loop

/return

sub event_chat

  |Beep if we get a tell
   /if "$p0"=="tell" /beep

  | If we see the word fungi in ooc, chat,tell or auction beep
   /if "$p2"~~"fungi" {
      /beep
   }
/return

It could, Don't run it unattended! Probably the best is to do a long random delay on the WTS 60 to 180 seconds. And have it primarily looking for someone looking to buy one. Make it stop trying to sell if it gets a bite, and keep beeping you till you check out what is happening. I would also /mqlog the relivant messages so you can look there and see everything, rather than trying to find it in the chat windows.
