[SGather] [AutoIT] Automatic Profile Creator

[icqpro]

Using SGather as a very handy tool for material farming, I soon wanted to create my own profiles. Because I considered it annoying to always switch to the SGather application to set a new waypoint, I first used a simple AutoHotKey script to put the SGather window always on top.

I expanded the original script to a (nearly) fully automatic profile creator.


Want to create a route like that with a waypoint on every single map note without pressing a single button?



What it does:

• Create a single waypoint using a hotkey
• Create a waypoint automatically every x seconds (configurable)
• Create ingame map notes corresponding to your waypoints (addon needed)

So you can just fly to set up a profile without pressing a single button.

How to set it up:

First, you need a route. I recommend Dr. Watson's Guide to create SGather Profiles. Credit for that part of my post belong to him.
After you created the route using Routes, start SGather and navigate to the "Profiles" tab so you can see the "Add" button. Clear all existing waypoints before starting.
Now either download the compiled script:

or use the code if you don't trust me:

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)

HotKeySet( "{b}", "note_set")
HotKeySet( "{PGUP}", "time_up")
HotKeySet( "{PGDN}", "time_down")
HotKeySet( "{HOME}", "auto_switch")
HotKeySet( "{END}", "marks_switch")
HotKeySet( "{f11}", "quit")

WinSetOnTop ( "Nodes", "", 1 )
WinActivate ( "Nodes" )
WinWaitActive ( "Nodes" )

$status = 0
$marks = 0
$autoset = 0
$delay = 1000

MsgBox(64, "Welcome!", "Automatic SGather Waypoint Creator activated.")

While 1

Do
until ($status or $autoset) = 1

if $status = 1 Then
action()
EndIf

if $autoset = 1 Then
Do
action()
sleep($delay)
until $autoset = 0
EndIf

WEnd


func note_set()
$status = 1
; ToolTip( "Waypoint set" )
EndFunc

func auto_switch()
if $autoset = 0 Then
$autoset = 1
ToolTip( "automatic tooltip creation enabled" )
sleep(1000)
ToolTip("")
Else
$autoset = 0
ToolTip( "automatic tooltip creation disabled" )
sleep(1000)
ToolTip("")
EndIf

EndFunc

func marks_switch()
If $marks = 1 then
$marks = 0
ToolTip( "Script now presses '1' in your WoW-App every time a waypoint is created." )
sleep(1000)
ToolTip("")
Else
$marks = 1
ToolTip( "'1'-pressing disabled." )
sleep(1000)
ToolTip("")
EndIf


EndFunc

func action()
controlclick( "Nodes","","[NAME:button15]")
controlsend( "World of Warcraft","","","{1}", 1 )
$status = 0
EndFunc

func time_up()
$delay = $delay + 500
ToolTip( $delay )
sleep(200)
ToolTip("")
EndFunc

func time_down()
if ($delay >= 1000) Then
$delay = $delay - 500
EndIf

ToolTip( $delay )
sleep(200)
ToolTip("")
EndFunc

func quit()
WinSetOnTop ( "nodes", "", 0 )
Exit
EndFunc

Confirm the welcome note. You can now set up the script as following:


Hotkey description:

Setup:

• END: enables/disables ingame note creation
• PAGE UP: increases the time between automatically put waypoints by 500 ms
• PAGE DOWN: decreases the time between automatically put waypoints by 500 ms, down
  to a minimum of 500 ms

Waypoint creation:

• B: Creates a single waypoint at your current position
• HOME: Enables/disables automatic waypoint creation
• F11: Quits the script

Use either "b" to manually create waypoints or adjust the time interval using "PGUP" und "PGDN" and then press "HOME" to automatically create waypoints in the previously set interval.

To use the ingame map notes feature, toggle it on and off by pressing "END". You also need to install MapNotes or a similar addon and put the following macro to the bar slot bound with the hotkey "1":

/mn -q

Now just fly along the route until you get back to where you started, using either the automatic way to create waypoints or pressing "b" where you want.

F11 quits the script.


Note: Of course you can adjust the hotkeys in the first six lines of the script as you like. The key reference can be found here.

The link to deepholm profile is not working, can you re-upload it somewhere?

[icqpro]

Strange, works for me. Is anyone else experiencing problems?

Added two additional mirrors.

[Velious]

Weird, when pressing "b" it tries to use one of my spells (Ghost Wolf)...also, it's spamming this when flying along the route, and will only add nodes when I have Sgather running in the foreground and WoW in the back, which is annoying seeing as it's too hard to maneuver for a smooth path while having to flip programs

Ghost wolf is keybound to Shift 1, and also 7 if that helps, anything I can change in the script or fix to get it working?

[bastors]

disable addon like bartender or dominos

[Velious]

I'll try it without Bartender on, thanks

[darkpingu]

Seems like I can't get it to work. I tried both the functions. Button B on my keyboard somehow triggered a trinket and didn't add a Waypoint. The home button did constantly press '1' on my keyboard as it said in the description, but still didn't add any waypoints. :/ Hope I´ll get it to work somehow! Is a really good program

Disable addon?

[darkpingu]

Tried with disabling every single addon. Still same thing :/

Did you reset your key bindings? as it seems as that might be the problem, if you have logitech firmware for the keyboard that might be the problem, nit the firmwar but there also is key bindings in the logitech firmware.

[DrWho1988]

This little tool is great. Makes creating them so much easier +rep

[darkpingu]

I do have a Logitech G15 keyboard, tho I have not installed any firmware. But can try with another keyboard later

EDIT: Alright, swapped to a normal DELL keyboard. Still same thing, just different action. Now it makes my mage either conjure food or cast arcane explosion. No waypoints are being added at all. Will try a few more setups before I give up..
Might as well ask, would there be a problem if there was any other programs running other then Sgather and WoW? Because I do have WHack on for some extra speed.

[ThatCrackerZach]

Man i can't ever select my wow process..

I found this thread just after finishing a load of profiles that took 3 hours to make.


this is so much easier to use. Thanks a lot +rep

Try changing your WoW to Fullscreen Windowed mode:
(ESC -> Video -> Display Mode -> Windowed (Fullscreen).
The script sets SGather always on top, which does not work if WoW runs in Fullscreen mode.
