Hi, I am Silverhammer. I used to be, TheSilverHammer. I changed my name because people were struggling to come up with a short name. You can call me Silver if SilverHammer is too long. I have created a macro that I think people would like. I may create more and post them here.

Macros

SuperBricks

Features of this Macro:

1. It works in any resolution.
2. It works in any zoom level.
3. Minimal use of the mouse.
4. It is very fast.
5. It almost (or never) gets stuck.

Instructions:

1. Download SuperBricks You must have ACTools to use this.
2. This macro was based off of Anka's Macro and has almost the same in initial setup.
3. Stand in the middle of the brick racks with the overhead view fully loaded with all resources you will need.
4. Make sure the chat box is disabled so you can use Hot Keys.

1. This macro works better the closer the zoom is, but can work at any zoom level within reason.
2. Make sure that you can see all the brick racks you will be using and that none of them are clipped out (Missing) because of object density limits.
3. Note the two white dots on the Upper Left and Lower Right brick sets, they are important reference points.
1. Build some bricks in the Upper Left and Lower Right positions and wait for them to dry.
2. Load ACTools and Tab back to the game window.
3. Place the tip of the mouse on that white point. The exact placement is NOT important, only that it points to the inside of a dry brick.
   1. The macro uses that point to understand what color a dry brick is.
   2. If you run this macro a long time and the lighting changes, it could break the macro. Just restart it if the sun sets or rises.
4. Let go of the mouse and do not move it.
5. Alt-Tab to ACTools and hit F2. Now you can move the mouse.
6. Fill in the values and make sure you get the Row and Column count correct. I thought I had a bug, but I had 11 columns in one test and thought I had 10.
7. After you press the OK button, you have 10 seconds to Alt-Tab back ATITD and move the mouse over the Lower Right white dot.
   1. The exact placement is not needed, but try and get it generally in the same relative spot as the first one.
   2. Being zoomed in helps you do this and helps the macro find the colors faster.
8. At the 10 second mark, the macro does its thing.

Notes:

1. If the Macro pauses a while, don't panic it will get unstuck. If it takes longer then 35 seconds or so, then it really is stuck.
2. If the Macro is missing brick racks, leaving them empty or full, then your latency may be a problem.
   1. If it is just a few racks, ignore it, it will not harm your efficiency very much and it will recover them eventually.
   2. If it is a lot of them, then the MDelay and SDelay variables may need to have higher values. Try doubling them.
   3. You could also set UseDynamicDelay = 1 which will regulate the speed such that just as it puts the last bricks down, the first ones should be about to dry.
3. If you can't Alt-Tab back in time, change the InitalDelay value. This is in Milliseconds which means 1000 = 1 second. The default is 10000 or 10 seconds.
4. The dimensions of the brick racks you use must be rectangular. Missing brick racks may cause a significant slowdown.
5. I hope you find this macro to be very useful. Let me know if you do.
