For detailed explanations of the individual options on the main tab, visit the Standard Options page

Profiles

Types

Open the profiles tab

  • Understanding how profiles are managed is vital to running an organized macro. You will likely have many profiles for different locations and tasks.
  • There are two types of profiles we will talk about: Those with Mine Only enabled, and those without.

Click the Macro Settings dropdown list

  • You will see [Default] and [ByChar] -- You never want to edit settings within these, think of them as templates. You load one, make a Save with a specific

name and edit/use the new save.

  • [Default] settings will always reset on logout
  • [ByChar] is controlled by the Mine Only radio button. This is the profile type you will use the most.
  • When creating a new character specific profile you want to have the Mine Only radio button enabled, selecting the [ByChar] profile automatically enables Mine Only.

Saving [ByChar] Macro Settings

  • Select [ByChar] from the Macro Settings dropdown then click the "CopyTo" button
  • Your chat bar will be filled with the string "/vt settings savechar" -- Type a name after "savechar" and press Enter. (eg. "/vt settings savechar

TuskerIsland")

  • You will now have a "[ByChar]TuskerIsland" profile in the Macro Settings dropdown - You can now safely begin making changes to the settings.
    • Changes made within profiles are saved immediately and automatically. You do not have to save after making alterations. This is the reason for using [ByChar] as a template to make new profiles.

Transferring [ByChar] Profiles to Alt Char.

  • To transfer a [ByChar] setting profile over to another character you will need to load the [Char]profile, disable Mine Only and click CopyTo.
  • In your chat bar you will see the string "/vt settings save" - type a profile name and click enter. (eg. "/vt settings save TuskerIsland")
  • On the character you want the profile transferred to, uncheck Mine Only and select the Macro Settings dropdown. You will see "TuskerIsland" listed without a [Char] tag.
  • You now need to save the cross-char profile as a [Char] profile. Select "TuskerIsland" from the dropdown and then enable Mine Only. Click "CopyTo" and the string "/vt settings savechar" should appear in your chat bar. Type TuskerIsland and press Enter.
    • You should now see "[ByChar]TuskerIsland" in your macro settings dropdown list.
    • Now you must populate the Items/Consumables tab with your items, and assign any weapon types in the Monster tab that may have become unassigned as a result of transferring the profile.
