How-to beat the harderst Arcane pylon in the Coldlight cavern ~(61 23)

[jomo666]

worked perfectly I used my razer software to make a macro.
thanks

Good to hear, that this is still works. Enjoy

I tried this today with a self-created python script (using pycharm).
This Pylon was my nemesis , I had give up years ago but now I made it!
I am so thankful to the original author of the sequence that I decided to make an account and share my script
I modified the list with a line counter
Note that I had to add two timings in the list above (maybe Blizz changed the sequence?) and in python I had to shave between 70 to 100 ms off the values - assuming because of the slower processing in python.
if 6300 is line 1, then i added 24a: w:300 2 and 47a w:300 3. after 24 and 47. I also had to adjust lines 38 and 39
In terms of timing, I have a fast PC and did not have stop any programs or disable any add-ons. there were a handful of timing failures apparently because of delays at the very start of the sequence but not annoying enough to address
I managed to get this done by putting wow into windowed mode, about half screen size and pressing the key (used ">") at the same time as I clicked on the pylon.

Here is the python script:

import time
import pyautogui
import os
from pynput import keyboard

start_sequence = False

def read_file(file_name):
# Get the directory of the current script
script_dir = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
# Construct the full file path
file_path = os.path.join(script_dir, file_name)

# Open and read the file
with open(file_path, 'r') as file:
lines = file.readlines()
return lines

def process_lines(lines):
global start_sequence
for line in lines:
if not start_sequence:
return
else:
line.startswith('w:')
parts = line.split()
line_no = parts[0]
wait_time = int(parts[1][2:])
key_press = parts[2]
print(f"{line_no} :waiting for {wait_time} ms and then pressing key {key_press}")
time.sleep(wait_time / 1000) # Convert ms to seconds
pyautogui.press(key_press)

def on_press(key):
global start_sequence
try:
if key.char == '>':
print("Key '>' pressed. Starting the sequence.")
start_sequence = not start_sequence
return False # Stop listener after the first key press
except AttributeError:
pass

def main():
global start_sequence

print("Waiting for the '>' key to be pressed to start the sequence.")
with keyboard.Listener(on_press=on_press) as listener:
listener.join()

if start_sequence:
file_name = 'sequence.txt' # Replace with your text file name
lines = read_file(file_name)
process_lines(lines)

if __name__ == "__main__":
main()

Been futzing around with this and I can get it started and it works fine but then right around the middle the timing gets offs and I can't fix it. So frustrating. Tried using Macro Express Pro so if any one has a better script for that...

The following are my modified timings, note that I added a couple compared to the original post, also shortened many of the steps to account for python delays. maybe that helps
