How are you guys "using" the Swath "User buttons, A thru Z"?


Personally, I don't. I have my F-keys setup and that usually is enough for most instances. Other scripts I fire manually as it is easier than remember the name than A is for twarpPhoton - I just type the script name. I have a fairly large number of scripts, but only use maybe 20 or so of them regularly. A player I won't name uses numbers for his script names, and sadly he usually knows which number does what, 7.ts = navhaz I think, 88.ts is some kind of attack script (and I may be wrong on both of those).

one of the cool things about swath is its versitility, you can drag that bar of A-Z off to the side of your desktop.
Whenever you mouseover the button, it a popup displays the script/macro. The letters are colored and in groups too, so;
A-F A-D undefined E-ck_planet_neg F_rams unfigged gridder
G-L G-2_Col H-undef I-dny_dailylogs J-LS_Scout K-Alexios Seek_Out L-2_MassUpgrade
M-R M-dny_planet vaccum N-w/s combined mover O-ck_buydown P-dny_quick_pdrop Q-2_sentinal R-proAssetCheck
S-Z S-ck_sst+Jet T-turboSST U-2_wssm X-ramsTeamSDT Y-2_Worldtrade Z-oz_planet_trade # note no V..evens it out

yeah, drag the various bars off to the side, expand the map, bring up zoc in the center for serious text screen real estate.. best of all worlds!

That was a kind of cathartic exercise, as I see half my goto scripts are outdated or newer versions exist..

I like to keep my hands nice and close to the Keys, so I use a 'pop up' menu system I made, that's activated by pressing SHIFT-X-X. I don't use the SWATH buttons at all. If I could use custom labels then probably would.

I use them for common scripts and or macros that i use alot but not often enough to set a Ctlr-(hot key)

If your asking how to set them up......create a macro.....then click the little bell (beside the record macro button) this is the Trigger Section and follow the direction, need more help or better instructions.

Don't ask V'Ger he will give bogus information or make fun of you :D


Ok, was just wondering because I never see this subject "talked about" and on the Swath site there is NO communication... its like the site is dead or something.
