Re: Players online screen showing when using macros

I can make this happen.

Use a hybrid or normal macro (Command macros are actually even more broken - See Tangar's death). In the macro, use the name of the object eg:

\e)r@Teleportationn\r

Press 'r' then 'z' then the macro or
Press 'L' then 'l' then the macro or
Press 'q' then 'y' then the macro

etc.

Nice. I'm actually not at home for about 2 weeks, but after that I'll look into it. Mikael just also found out some details. This should allow for a client update soonish.

This bug appears to be caused by the 'safe_macros' feature. You can try disabling this feature until we get a fix out. It's under Game-Play Options 1 in the options menu.

That solution works, I recommend changing that option to everyone who experienced the problem.

Does it fix the bug with Tangar's command macro for teleport?

It worked with bug described in this topic, Tangar needs to test whether it helps him too.

Turning off "safe macros" did fix the problem in this thread, which happens on hybrid and normal macros. When I tried the same fix for command macros (which killed Tangar) it didn't work.

Sorry.

This is awesome debugging. So the @ in the macro gets treated as a command... Good to know about the "safe macro" feature.

Good job, guys :D So it's better to re-assign all '@' macroses?

I'll try to play today at my other PC.. I'll try it with 'safe macro' 'on' at first; if I'll have an issues - would turn it off
