Hi ppl,

I wrote and adapted three handy macros that you may find usefull.



The first is a planet army call macro. No simple bomb ORG @ 2, but with
proper army number checks. And it will tell you to pick your own planets
and to bomb your opponents' planets.
    
    mac.b.T: %?%n<0%{Touch %L!%!%?%n=0%{%L is neutral%!%?%n<5%{%L @ %n%!%?%T=%t%{Pick %L @ %n%!Bomb %L @ %n%}%}%}%}

Example output:
    
    23:49:01:  R0->ROM  CET is neutral
    23:49:04:  R0->ROM  ORG @ 2
    23:49:05:  R0->ROM  Bomb EAR @ 18
    23:49:06:  R0->ROM  Touch CAN!
    01:03:19:  R0->ROM  Pick ROM @ 17



The second is a carrier call macro. Are you annoyed as well by accidentally
calling out wrong players as carriers because the real carrier just cloacked
or you just pointed at another enemy on top of him? Well, I've built in a
few small checks to make sure that you only call out an *enemy* carrier which
happens to have kills. Otherwise he wouldn't be carrying right? (except as base)
If these checks are not met, no message is sent.

    mac.a.T: %?%p=%h%{%?%K>0%{%p++ @ %L%!%}%!%}

Example output:

    01:23:44:  R0->ROM  1++ @ KLI



The third is a personal status macro. Sent to player nearest to mouse pointer.
This is a difficult one. Based upon an existing macro but a bit finetuned. More
spaces for readability, a correct WTEMP and ETEMP notification, and omitting
as much info as possible. Eg. if your shields are above 80% ok, it will not be
displayed. This to keep the important info as quickly readable as possible.
So basically that what is not reported can be assumed to be ok.

    mac.z.%p: (%S+%a) %?%f<30%{ LOW%!%} fuel(%f%%) %?%s<30%{ POOR%!%}%?%s<80%{ Shds(%s%%) %!%}%?%d>60%{ BAD%!%}%?%d>10%{ DMG(%d%%) %!%}%?%E=1%{ ETEMPED %!%?%e>60%{ Etmp(%e%%) %!%}%}%?%W=1%{ WTEMPED %!%?%w>80%{ Wtmp(%w%%) %!%}%}

Optionally you can change the mac.z.%p part to mac.z.%g and send the message
directly to the nearest friendly player instead of to the player pointed at.

Explanation:

    * It will always show shiptype, number of armies and fuel

    * Display if fuel:      <30%        LOW fuel(xx%)
                            else        fuel(xx%)

    * Display if shields:   <30%        POOR Shds(xx%)
                            <80%        Shds(xx%)
                            else        nothing

    * Display if damage:    >60%        BAD DMG(xx%)
                            >10%        DMG(xx%)
                            else        nothing

    * Display if E-temp:    ETEMP       ETEMPED
                            >60%        Etmp(xx%)
                            else        nothing

    * Display if W-temp:    WTEMP       WTEMPED
                            >80%        Wtmp(xx%)
                            else        nothing

Example output:

    23:51:54:  R0->R0   (CA+0)  fuel(100%)  POOR Shds(28%)
    23:52:58:  R1->R0   (CA+0)  fuel(100%)
    23:53:14:  R1->R0   (CA+0)  fuel(39%)  Wtmp(81%)
    23:53:22:  R1->R0   (CA+0)  fuel(22%)  WTEMPED
    23:53:54:  R1->R0   (CA+0)  LOW fuel(6%)  Etmp(91%)
    23:54:11:  R1->R0   (CA+0)  LOW fuel(18%)  ETEMPED
    23:54:15:  R1->R0   (CA+0)  LOW fuel(26%)
    23:54:18:  R1->R0   (CA+0)  fuel(32%)
    23:57:11:  R1->R1   (AS+20)  fuel(100%)  BAD DMG(62%)
    23:58:29:  R1->R1   (AS+20)  fuel(100%)  Shds(73%)  DMG(41%)
    23:51:50:  R0->R1   (AS+17)  fuel(80%)  POOR Shds(14%)
    23:52:50:  R0->R1   (AS+17)  fuel(91%)  Shds(64%)
    23:59:00:  R1->R1   (BB+3)  fuel(100%)  DMG(11%)


Enjoy the macro's
