- If you have items in you main pack that are also in other packs (like pyreals),
the macro may try to stack them all together and it won't succeed. This is the
main reason to keep the main pack empty before starting. It will time out for
each stack, but that takes one minute.
- Q: Where is the best place to run this macro?
- At any Farmer who lives at a protected site, such as in a house. You can find
one north of Eastham (21.7N, 61.6E) or northwest of Glendon Wood (31.8N,
26.3E). Outside of Shoushi (37.4S, 75.5E) there is also a protected
Ostentatious Farmer, but he doesn't sell as much as the first two. Yusnaribn
Lomaq in Bluespire (39.5N, 75.5W) also sells a lot of food items, but no flour
or water, and that drastically limits what you can cook there.
- Q: What do I need in order to run this macro successfully?
- An empty main pack, some space in the first 3 packs (changeable), as many
cooking tools as you can find, and at least 16 pyreals. Just walk up to a
protected farmer or any food vendor, open their trade window and start the
macro. The macro will do everything else for you.
- Q: My main pack is getting cluttered with food because the Farmer isn't buying
stuff back, what can I do?
- The macro is designed to use up leftovers, but there will always be a bit of
food left in your main pack. IronChef won't buy food items if you already have
them, and it will only buy enough to make the recipe. For example, if you have
4 leftover Chickens, it will only buy 2 more the next time it needs Chicken.
When I'm done gaining experience for the night, I just toss any leftovers into
a nearby chest.
- Q: Why doesn't find my cooking tools even though they are in one of my packs?
- The most likely cause of this is that you switched characters in AC and Decal
is now lost. Try exiting AC completely before switching characters and that
will fix this problem.
- Q: Why is it just going through the mouse motions of buying things from the
Farmer, but it never actually buys anything?
- You MUST have the vendor's window open and ready to trade before starting
IronChef.
- Q: Why is it just telling me all the recipes it can't make, even though I know
it can make them with this vendor and my cooking tools?
- You MUST have Decal loaded for this macro to work.
- Q: Why are many recipes being made that result in zero experience?
- The macro needs to make as all of the recipes it can make first, to determine
if you get any experience for them. During the second and all future passes
through the recipes, it will skip those recipes that didn't make any experience
or made too little.
- Q: How can I work on fletching experience?
- For the fletching recipes to work, you need to download the ICRecipesF.txt file
and save it in your AC Tool macros folder. Then change the path at the top of
IronChef.mac to point to ICRecipesF.txt instead of ICRecipes.txt. Find a
vendor that sells fletching items, open his or her trade window and start the
macro.
- Q: I'm just interested in gaining the most cooking experience, how should I set
this macro up?
- You will need to use the ICRecipesE.txt recipe file and a safe Farmer, which
should focus your cooking on two recipes (Cragstonanoff & Carrot Cake Soup).
My experience has shown that these two recipes make the most experience through
levels 160+.
- Q: I'd like to make a lot of pyreals with IronChef as well as experience, how
can I do that?
- Change the MinPyreal and MaxPyreal constants to your own comfortable levels.
For example, if you have a cook with skills around 80+, try setting MinPyreal
to 120000 and MaxPyreal to 128000 and the macro should make Applesauce for
around 4 hours, then make experience. This is based on an average of around
32,000 pyreals per hour.
- Q: After awhile, or sometimes right away, I just get booted out of AC. Why is
this?
- You should disable all of your Decal plug-ins before running any macro, as they
will sometimes interfere and many of them will simply crash AC after awhile.
- Q: I like my privacy, how can I turn off the feature that tells players I'm
running a macro?
- Find the procedure called "TellVersion" near the bottom of the macro code and
delete it. Once it's gone, it won't respond to /tells.
- Q: I'm getting an error saying that a macro command is trying to use a number
that "is not a valid integer", what's this all about?
- Either you are running in Windowed mode (don't do this), or you may be using a
skin. Please look at incUI.mac for information about using skins.
- Q: I'm getting an error that states that something is "not a valid command",
why?
- You probably have a bad install of Decal or AC Tool. Reinstall Decal and then
install the latest version of AC Tool and it should work fine.
