Thanked 16x in 13 Posts Gil: 2,311 Bank: 16,960 Total Gil: 19,271 Donate  | Macro's don't save? I've edited my macros, and every time I come online they're different. For example in my last session I set book 2 to be all my BLM macros, and I had it all set up, and then logged out, turned off my xbox 360, and then came back online and that book was empty! and as if that's not enough, my White Mage Macro Book was okay, except that my Dia macro was replaced with JoinP!
Does anyone know what gives? AM I supposed to be doing something special to "save" macros?  BRD 75 WHM 44 NIN 23 WAR 20 THF 16

There could be some problem with your logout sequence for some reason, try using both /logout AND /shutdown to see if one works and another won't. | Originally Posted by someone who just spent ten minutes with feba | | wtf?

On PC(or is it ps2), I know that I need to scroll through an entire book to save my macros, so it's probably the same for the 360. | | | ::Quote Selected:: | | | 11-30-2007, 06:18 AM | #4 (permalink) | | Sticky Paws Keeper of Knowledge Join Date: May 2006 Location: Southern California Posts: 2,874 Style: Light - Version 6 My Mood:  Thanks: 235

Did you hit the power switch to turn off your xBox 360 while online? Or typed /shutdown in game first?
On PCs and PS2, the game saves the macros when players zone or log off. If you don't actually zone or log off, FFXI wouldn't save the macros (such as when you d/c). Not sure how it behaves on xBox 360. “ I’m in pain, but I’m happy.”
“ It hurts, but I can smile.”

Thanks a lot. I'll try that next time I log out. BRD 75 WHM 44 NIN 23 WAR 20 THF 16

Not really for the OP in this case since they are on 360, but for PC users experiencing this check the attributes and permissions under C:\Program Files\PlayOnline\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XI\USER -- I somehow in the process of transferring this from one computer to another had these all flag as Read-only, that will prevent macros (and any other character-specific settings besides bazaar comments) from updating. Under the general tab for Properties you can check on Read-only, and under the advanced button for security you can remove all specific permissions and make it inherit permissions from the parent directory. At least, that's how it works in Win2K, hopefully hasn't changed too much in XP. Kumei, pickpocket of Midgardsormr (Bastok, Rank 7)
