Macros closed beta

[Mumfrey]

@Balance Team | @Admins | @Moderators
So here's the deal. This update has been the biggest pain in the arse imaginable and I'm not happy making a public beta just yet. So I'm enlisting you wonderful folks to attack this thing with a sledgehammer and find where the crashes, explosions and causes-your-hard-drive-to-catch-fire bugs may be.

Sound like a good deal?

I hope so because it's the only one I've got. So how do you enlist for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

1. First, download the LiteLoader beta from here (must be the 1.7.2_02 version, older versions will not work so make sure you upgrade if you have one of the older betas)
2. Download the beta release of macros from here and dump it in your .minecraft/mods folder

Some things to try, which will help increase the scope of the beta test:

1. If you have forge or optifine, try with different combinations of chaining to optifine/forge in the liteloader installer, look for issues which crop up only when using forge or optifine
2. If you experience a reproducible crash and are also running optifine or forge then ensure that the same crash happens without optifine or forge.
3. Try using a fresh config for macros and creating your stuff again (rename your /liteconfig/common/macros or /mods/macros (older installs) folder to force creation of a fresh config
4. Use as many things as possible, if you're a scripter, then go nuts. Lots changed under the bonnet in this release and so things may derp the hell up
5. Read the changelog below, there may be clues about things to test

Please post any issues here in this thread, that way we can keep an eye on things which may be occurring for multiple people, I will also post any further betas on this thread.

Do not give out the beta to anyone outside this group, if you do then I will arrange to have you and your family added to as many Justin Bieber fan mailings a possible. You have been warned.

Downloaded. I'll be looking for bugs. I failed your challenge btw. I was not able to live without macros.

A fate worse than death...

 

[malikdanab]

I should REALLY being sleeping now, but fuck it! Have to test this

 

[Dsawemd]

With only LiteLoader 1.7.2 and MacroMod, I am seeing zero mods loaded, no access to any of the mod.

 

[Sirdemonic3]

initial start up is a go, gunna have to fiddle with it to try and get it to work with minimap and optifine tho

 

[malikdanab]

Got Macro, Rei's, and Optifine to work together

 

[Mumfrey]

$${DO;FOR(#i,0,20);SHADERGROUP(%SHADERGROUPS[%#i%]%);WAIT(1);NEXT;LOOP}$$

If you can put up with that for more than a minute then you're a stronger person than I am.

 

[LightningCape]

Might just be my ignorance here but each time I add liteloder to a clean 1.7.2 profile then macros it says 0 mods available

You sir are too evil for your own good...bad?

Is your browser changing the file extension? Some browsers are dumb and rename the file to .zip which means liteloader won't find it.

Yep my ignorance. Changed it to .litemod now it runs smoothly (atm) with OptiFine_1.7.2_HD_U_C2.jar

 

[malikdanab]

Damn Kainzo...just HAD to say that Balance Team got macros. I'm starting to feel your pain Mumfrey.

Ppl applying for balance now. lol

 

[Mumfrey]

Yep and the pleading PMs start as well

 

[LightningCape]

Not really a macros issue but when clicking rapidly on a skill bounded key you'll be prompted kick from the server. @Kainzo
This is with flood protection off. Tested on rpg and test

 

[gabizou]

So, I'm now going to help monitor this. I've handled previous situations with Architects regarding the building of Haven map, and yes, we will monitor the activity of macro mod stuffs.

@Mumfrey, on mac os x so far, looks like a few things are running fine. Would it be possible to load up the WE CUI you provided on the MCF forums for this version of LL as well? I'm somewhat in dire need of it

 

[Dsawemd]

Clean install of everything, I can get liteloader and .litemod extension files to work, still cannot see a loaded macro mod or use it.

Any advice? Any more info needed?

@Mumfrey
I've tested macros with all of the optifine HD ultra builds for 1.7.2 (not including standard). No crashes as of yet.

This is what I did:

• Delete everything in .minecraft
• Run and install minecraft and run it on 1.7.4
• Create a different profile for 1.7.2 and run it atleast once
• Close MC
• Install liteloder
• Convert macros from zip to .litemod if needed and drag it to mods (if it's not there make it)
• If you want opti install it before liteloder
