Keybinding and Macros

[Sidgil]

So, I have been wondering what is considered a macro, and what is considered Keybinding.

I know we can use programs such a improved chat and spout to set our skills as buttons versus binding them. This is where my confusion tends to set in.

I set smite as a key on my keyboard, by doing this I have bound that command to a key, but I have also made a macro since that key running a script.

Am I over thinking this, or are we defining macro as a series of script?

The reason I ask is because I have mod that does the same thing as spout in regards to Keybinding, but lets me still use Rei's minimap ( I couldn't for the life of me get both to work together)

If the mod you mentioned is the Macro Mod, it is illegal and you need to stop using it on Herocraft, FYI.

Alright, I'll have to figure out how to get Rei in spout then.

There is a minimap in Spout by default.

Macro mod = Illegal. Only legal keybinds mods = Spout and Improved chat. I am personally using Imp. chat + Optifine

What makes Macro mod illegal?

It's banned because it's so good. You can set up timed and automatic macros, trigger mouse clicks, and a bunch of other stuff. Basically it falls under the unfair advantage part of the rules.
As a guideline, anything that offers functionality beyond the ability to bind your skills to keys is worth bringing up before you use it, except Spout.

@EtKEnn, where did you find ImpChat? I thought it was unavailable, but if it's out there I would utterly love it.

I think Impchat only just updated, I went looking for it before, but never saw it.
