-= FFXI Macro Database Project and FFXI Macro Editor =-
Hey all, porting over my post and project that is starting up.
http://ffxi.darkmystics.com/macro.shtml
Hey all, I have this idea I am currently working on where its a macro database. (Windower Macros can be added later once its stable, So ATM its mostly the .dat files for PC users)
Meaning say youve been a WAR and Melee roles your entire FFXI life.
Decide to go mage.. do you know what to macro? Do you wanna try to spend time working on them till you figure out what works?
The idea is where you can download macro sets that have been backed up to a slot of yours, this way its a power start and you can learn in the right step what methods to use, editing them later.
Idea is for users to help donate macro sets they think will help on the universal scale. (Meaning.. its not branded to just your char or gear) and New players can understand the system quicker, or hell.. vets can use it to see what ways OTHERS play their macros. So kinda a upload download macro set site.
Sound nice? Hope so.. only one way to find out.. and thats once I set the page to go live.
This way, textbook macro sets could be uploaded 1st, then soon once the db is established.. move on to more advanced themes on request.
So far I have had some submissions already that I need to test and post, havent even made the FAQ yet! LOL... So I love all you people who know where your CORRECT Macro slot is to backup and send.
I will say this.. should you decide to send a set. PLEASE PLEASE make sure you LOGOUT of FFXI with that slot NOT active! (Meaning the slot you wanna send me.. do NOT logout with that slot active in the game, change the active slot in the game otherwise when importing the macro dat file.. it will show up blank since FFXI sees 2 active slots when there is only supposed to be one!)
Anyways as this increases Ill move all the news to my site and try to keep it in a central place for updates on news posting. (Right now going to post this here.. Windower forums, and FFXIOnline, that should cover the bulk of the community to see it)
I hope to hear from alot of you to try to make this project a smashing success. Would be nice to see this out there and I am sure alot of people will enjoy it once its written down and said how to "best" import or export a set for anyones useage. Rem not everyone is a skilled macro designer.. or has a clue what "proper" macros to use for "x" job, then you have people that just wanna compare to others for referance. So this project is designed to help EVERYONE! =) Hope you can help too! If you wanna submit something, send to mysticales@darkmystics.com right now I am working a FAQ on this all and how to do things. =) If however you know the correct way to take a macro set (Normally the MCR (number) will be the slot its saved in) and send them to me, apply a readme for it if you can so it helps anyone else and we will go from there. =) )
Thanks. =D

FFXI ME news!
Yekyaa has returned! Yekyaa was the owner of www.codebeast.net a site that has been down for awhile and recently come back to try to improve on FFXI ME and make it better! Even soon to add the abilities to aide the macro database project so it will be easier to backup and restore macro sets. =) Also to add more unique aspects that other offline editors do not have. So its alive and kicking again! =) Recently was updated again! So below is the news from the site.
* Final Fixes to this version of FFXI_MEv2 May 19, 2006 Posted by Yekyaa
--Version 1.5.2: May 19, 2006
# Added a Menu Option under the Edit menu to Enable/Disable the Timers that update the MD5 Checksum per file and
Vana'diel Timer as well.
This has the side effect of not keeping an updated length on name, and lines 1-6 of the Macro
Keep this in mind when saving it. The good news is, it removes the flicker ^^
# Updated Recent Updates, Changelog, Release History, the link to click to get Auto-Translate Phrase support (for now)
if it's not found in the program directory, and also added a link in the credits to the exact same area.
# Updated the news section on the website at http://ffxi.darkmystics.com/macro.shtml

* FFXI_ME! v2 (1.5.1 added) May 12, 2006 Posted by Yekyaa
Uploading at the moment. Just when you run it, check About...
section to be sure you have the 1.5.1 version.
This version fixes a problem when loading Macro sets from
any directory where Ctrl-1 Macro of Macro Set #1 would be empty.
This version is the last one I used Ultimate++ with to create.
I'm currently shifting everything over to C#.NET which will require
the .NET Framwork 2 in order to work properly.
Since I don't have it ready yet, and it could be a week or so before
I do, this is just something to tide anyone interested over until I
get it completed.
