Warning! Misuse or spamming of this feature can result in a ban.

Macros are a very robust feature of SS13, allowing the player to attach any verb to (almost) any key combination. The key must not already be used by the server. A list of already-used keys can be found by using the OOC > hotkeys-help verb.

Macros That Are Already In

This is a basic list of the Macros that are built into the server.

  • F1 = Adminhelp
  • F2 = OOC
  • F3 = Say
  • F4 = Me
  • Ctrl + Click = Quick Grab (Make sure to have an empty hand.)
  • Shift + Click = Quick Examine (Marine Use/Some Alien Castes)
  • Shift + Middle Click = Point to
  • Ctrl + Middle Click = Tactical Binoculars lazer target
  • Shift + Click = Throwing a Hugger as Carrier or Spitting neurotoxin as a sentinel. (If you have enabled the shift click function in the alien tab.)

Managing Macros

Accessing macros via the title bar menu

Macros can be accessed and edited in two ways, from the in-game client by Right-click the top in-game title bar -> Client -> Macros. The other way is editing "macros.dmf" file with a text editor. The macros.dmf is in C:\Users\[YOU]\Documents\BYOND\cfg, open macros.dmf in a text editor (Notepad++ recommended, but Notepad works fine, too)

Creating a Macro

  • The key used must not already be used by the server (check hotkeys-help in OOC tab)
  • The command must contain dashes (-) in the place of spaces
  • The full verb must be used as the command. E.g. unique-action
  • The command is NOT case-sensitive. E.g. Join-as-Xeno works fine.

Advanced Usage

The \n character combination can be used to input a "newline" between macros, allowing several verbs to be called from a single macro. Some examples above utilize \n as well.

  • Space: Resist\nCrawl-Through-Vent
  • 5: Say "*needhelp"\nSay"Help!"
  • Alt + W: Northface\nSay "Contact North!"
  • Shift + E: Issue-Order\nToggle-Darkness
