says max skill is 105, and my bard is level 20. The problem is, his skill reaches 105, but it conitnues to play the same song, it wont switch.

You've changed the names of the skills so it doesn't know what values to look for. You can change the order if you like but the strings must remain exactly the same, not counting case. I'm talking about the stuff in red below.

This is what's in my macro:

Code: Select all

   /varset SkillName[1] [color=red]Percussion instruments[/color]
   /varset SongName[1] Selo`s accelerando
   /varset Instrument[1] Thunderous drum of Karana

   /varset SkillName[2] [color=red]Wind instruments[/color]
   /varset SongName[2] Shauri`s Sonorous Clouding
   /varset Instrument[2] Flute of eternal night

   /varset SkillName[3] [color=red]Brass instruments[/color]
   /varset SongName[3] Denon`s disruptive Discord
   /varset Instrument[3] Combine horn

   /varset SkillName[4] [color=red]Stringed instruments[/color]
   /varset SongName[4] Hymn of restoration
   /varset Instrument[4] Combine mandolin

   /varset SkillName[5] [color=red]Sing[/color]
   /varset SongName[5] Jonthan's Whistling Warsong
   /varset Instrument[5] None
This is what you've changed it to:

Code: Select all

| Define the songs and instruments to use for the various skills
/varset SkillName[1] string instruments
/varset SongName[1] hymn of restoration
/varset Instrument[1] combine mandolin

/varset SkillName[2] Wind instruments
/varset SongName[2] Tarew's aquatic ayre
/varset Instrument[2] Combine wooden flute

/varset SkillName[3] Brass instruments
/varset SongName[3] Denon`s disruptive Discord
/varset Instrument[3] Combine horn

/varset SkillName[4] percussion instrument
/varset SongName[4] chant of battle
/varset Instrument[4] Combine drum
Change it back and it should work.

Check the spelling of the song name. Make sure you've got the correct apostrophe for example.. Better yet, copy/paste the song name from lucy or something. If that doesn't help, post the error message.
