MAngband

Hi All,

I have two questions about the macros in MAngband, the first, is it at all possible to view the macros in-game, or is the only way to read the file by hand and/or upload it to the online macro editor (which works, sorta)

Also, what is the difference between Command, Normal, Identity and Empty macros?

There's no way to view currently defined macros in your client, other than the methods you mention.

A command macro executes only when the game is expecting a command. i.e. in a state waiting for the next command (in theory). A normal macro fires any old sequence of key strokes at any time, even when the game isn't waiting for a command (in theory). An identity macro can be used to restore the keys original meaning, i.e. removes any attached macro (sort of). An empty macro is just that, a macro which does nothing.

Basically just use command macros for your macros, and forget the rest.

Yes, the entire macro system is awful, and yes, it should be removed completely.

I hope you mean replaced, Jug ;) removing it would make mages unplayable, hehe.

Yes indeed Zal, sorry, replaced. :)
