Installing Macros
- STEP 1: Copy the file to the correct location
For Mac users: Simply open the macros folder where the Clan Lord client resides and drag or save the file in there.
For Windows users: You need to save/copy the macro file to your clanlord\data\macros directory.
For Linux/Java users: You're using the Java applet. Unless it's properly signed (certificate not expired) it won't allow access to the local file system, so none of macros will work. No fix at this point. Perhaps use VMWare to run the windows client so you can run the game in a VM.
- STEP 2: Tell your client to load that file
Edit your character's macro file to add the name of the macro file you just added to your folder.
For instance, if your character's name is Inu Teisei, and you copied moonstone_functions.txt, then you would add this line to your "Inu Teisei" file:
include "moonstone_functions.txt"
If you want the macro file available to all characters that you play on your machine, add the include "<macro file name>" line to your default file in your macros folder.
- STEP 3: Convert macros written for Mac platform to PC platform if required.
If you get a macro file written by a Mac user and you are on a PC then you need to perform an additional step to load macros written for the other platform. From the Options menu choose Convert Macros, highlight the macro file you copied, then choose OK.
- OR Instead of converting, change the file extension to .mac (Mac>PC).
If you got the macro from a mac user you can also change the file extension (or add one that reads) .mac. So tc_macro.txt would be changed to tc_macro.mac, while DynamicShareCads would be DynamicShareCads.mac. Don't forget to change the include statement to reflect the new file name.
- STEP 4: Reload Macros
If your client is already running, choose reload macros from the Options menu (or press CTRL+R). They also load when you log in.
