Revision as of 17:27, 18 March 2018

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.


Examples

Action Command Function

Spacebar Resist Drop and roll to extinguish the fire and break out of alien nest
Shift + G Rest Rest on weed to regenerate health as alien or lay down to avoid FF as marine
Escape Cancel-Camera-View Stop looking up/down ladder and camera
Shift + W/A/S/D Northface/Westface/Eastface/Southface Turn north/west/east/south (essentially dance if excuted in quick succession)
Shift + E Toggle-Darkness Disable darkness (ghost only)
P Join-as-Xeno Open join Xeno window (ghost only)

Alt + G Say "Let's go!" Yell Let's go! (useful to urge friendlies relucent to fallback or push)
Shift + E Issue-Order Open the Issue Order window (SL and SO/XO/CO only)
Alt + C Toggle-M68-Thermal-Camouflage Toggle Scout Spec's cloak

  • Alt + W: Northface\nSay "Contact North!"
