How do I make macros be automatically set when I start the game in 4.0?
As a programer or gamr?
In response to Poal
Well go to your interface, and in macros type in all of your verbs that you have. Then go to each one, and in the verb type set hidden = 1 then set your macro id to the name of the macro list you have under your interface. Then make a square in the window of your interface with a bunch of labels, naming each macro, either that or make a png of it and import it as your background of the window.

programmer. I don't want them to see the commands. Just the macros. That brings up one more problem after you ansewer that. How can I get rid of the commands panel and replace it with another panel that just tells you the macros?

Edit the macros in your interface file.

Don't include such a panel or use set hidden=1 or set category=null or client.default_verb_category=null.

OK I have a couple questions fer what you said.

1.Where do I put this thing you call the "macro id"?

2.I don't want the commands to show but I have an inventory and I want THAT to show. Is there a way to JUST have inventory showing and not commands?

3.I'm still trying to figure out this new interface thing and I don't know which thing to put down that shows all of the usr<<"You go to the forest"s and all of what the usrs say. Could someone tell me which one that is?

ok then could someone ansewer my third question then. and I also have set the macros and they don't eork in the game so I don't know wats wrong
In response to Moocow696
Are you talking about the interface part?

You want to set down the output window... and check off it has default!


For the macro thing, it would be helpful to see the snippets as well as what you intend to do... we're not psychic.
In response to GhostAnime

Window controls have a field where you enter the macro id. In the interface editor open the window, right click over it and select "edit (window name)", then click on the Options tab. Macro ID is the second field.

You want an output control. Be sure to check the default box in its properties.
