Requirements:

MicroMacro 1.0, which you can get here

You will need rom scripts and put them in micromacro/scripts folder. here is how you get them:


Type 1: Downloading rom bot from SVN (recommended but harder)

Advanced:

For those of you who already have some working knowledge of SVN, you can use this command to checkout:

     svn checkout http://rom-bot.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ rom-bot-read-only


Simple:

First, I suggest you install Tortoise SVN. Once installed, you may need to reboot your machine. Now, locate your 'rom' folder (should be inside micromacro/scripts/) and right-click it. Select 'SVN Checkout'.

Now, a window should open. Inside "URL of repository:", enter this url:

     http://rom-bot.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/rom

Everything else can be left at default. Click OK and it should begin downloading and updating all of your files. Now that you've got it all setup, you can simply right click the 'rom' folder again and select SVN update. Typically, a red icon over the folder should indicate that there are updates to download.


Problems with file conflicts?

This typically happens if you've made any modifications to the scripts. To fix it, you should delete any files that have conflicts, and try to SVN update again.

Type 2: Downloading rom bot from forums

Download here


Extract the contents of the zip into micromacro/scripts/. The whole 'rom' folder should be inside 'scripts'.

Now you'll need to make a waypoint script. Start MicroMacro and execute the rom/createpath.lua script when prompted. You just walk to each point you want in your waypoint list (try to avoid walking near any trees, fences, steep hills, etc.), and press NUMPAD 1. Once you've made your round (the waypoints should loop back and bring you near the start), press NUMPAD 3. Now type in the name you want to save it as (example: 'boars' would be good enough. Don't include any slashes, and the .xml extension is automatically applied).

Next you must make a profile. Go to the profile directory and make a copy of Default.xml, but rename it to whatever your character name is. It must be exact, but capitalization shouldn't mater. For the waypoint script option, you will apply the '.xml' extension this time.

Finally, open up settings.xml and make sure everything is correct.
