Combat Unit Commands
What is 3030MUX?
Live, Eat, Breathe 3030MUX
"I Can Do It Better!"
Macros are an invaluable tool for piloting combat units on 3030MUX. They shorten most commands considerably, making them easier to type (and less prone to mistakes).
1. First we will see which macro sets are available. Macro sets are collections of individual macros. Type:
.glist
Note that all macro-related commands start with a period.
The output will look something like this:
Graphic 5A
Num Description Owner LRW0 Generic Fingon -R-16 DC Macros Paul Matra -R-20 Pendo's Monster Macros Jasmine Ichiban -R-21 Strider's Set Strider -R-23 Zak's Macs Zak Killmen -R-24 Combat Macros Forge Crater -R-25 Spock's Macros William Malter -R-26 Tech stuff Albert Huang LR-28 Iceman's Top Gun Macs Iseykawa Ieyasu -R-36 Tanker's Macros Richard Mallory -R-43 Needful Things! Kerm Woodston LR-45 Combat/Recon Thrantor Youngblood -R-
2. We want to have the basic set for now. Once you learn more about macros, you may find other sets that you like better or have more options. To add the basic set (Macro set #0) to your macros, type:
.add 0
3. To see what macros you have, type:
.list
You will see something like this:
Graphic 5B
#: Num Description Owner LRW0: 0 Generic Fingon -R-1:2:3:4:Current Macro Slot: -1
You can see that macro set #0 (the general set) was added to your slot #0.
Once you have added the general set, move on to the next lesson.
