More then 10 hotkey skills

Hello,
this one sounds like an noob one, but I don't really find an answer to it.
I would like to use more then 10 skills but the profile with the hotkey="VK_X" is limited to 9. Is there a way to use more skills? There is propably a solution on the forum already, but I tried to search for it and can't find it.
Is there a way to use skills without the hotkey parameter directly using their name?
Please for an example how to do it.
THANKS!

what you could do is assign skills to a new skill bar and bind keys to it(e.g.: skill x = alt + 11, skill 12 = alt +2)
all you gotta do after is add a line in your profile with that particular skill
Code: Select all
<skill name="PRIEST_URGENT_HEAL" modifier="VK_ALT" hotkey="VK_1" priority="110" hpper="60" />
where urgent heal is the skill you put in the skill bar set to cast when you press ALT+1

I just go to the in game menu, key bindings and change the bindings in the upper action bar to j, v , y , i , f
then in profile use
Make sure in the profile you use capital letters.

Yes. Use hotkey="MACRO". eg.
Code: Select all
<skill name="PRIEST_URGENT_HEAL" hotkey="MACRO" priority="120" hpper="60" />
For this to work the skill needs to be listed in skills_local.xml and have a translation for your language.

This is actually the much easier way... cant you just define if there is no hotkey it tries it with macro
so the profile looks like this:
<skill name="PRIEST_URGENT_HEAL" priority="120" hpper="60" />

So what you are saying is if you set the MACRO option, you do not need to assign a hotkey to it? It will be cast in a skill rotation? Does it need to be put on the hotbar and/or does the location need to be put in the skills file like skilltab="2" skillnum="2"?

Sounds like you're confusing an in-game macro, with the bot MACRO command. All you need to do is set your skill hotkeys to "MACRO", as Rock5 posted, and the bot will cast the skills you define as you've prioritized them.

Is it possible to spam an in-game macro using the bot? I am not sure how to set it up either in a profile to use a particular in-game macro like say every 5 seconds or in a waypoint file.

Thanks for the info Mushroom. I was indeed confused a little by that.

Set up your in-game macro and put it on your action bar on a hotkey. Add the skill to your profile calling it whatever you want, and defining it under whatever hotkey you have placed it. I.E.;
Code: Select all
<skill name="WARRIOR_YOURMACRO" hotkey="YOURASSIGNEDHOTKEY" priority="80" />
Then add the skill to skills.xml and you should be all set;
Code: Select all
<skill name="WARRIOR_YOURMACRO" range="150" cooldown="10" />

I put in my Profile: <skill name="PRIEST_LOOT" hotkey="VK_5" priority="110" />
But when I loaded rombot I got the error: PRIEST_LOOT is not defined in the database.
EDIT: NVM, I figured that out very quickly, I just added the skill to the skills database and BOOM it works! I love it. Thanks
