i have the following macro (253 characters). it does not function

#showtooltip
/cancelform [form:1/2/3/4]
/cancelaura soulshape
/leavevehicle [canexitvehicle]
/use [mod:shift] Grand Expedition Yak
/stopmacro [mod:shift]
/use [advflyable] Cliffside Wylderdrake
#/use Eve's Ghastly rider
/run C_MountJournal.SummonByID(0)

the macro functions once it is 250 characters.
for example, if i remove 3 characters from the #/use Eve's Ghastly rider line, the macro works as expected

#showtooltip
/cancelform [form:1/2/3/4]
/cancelaura soulshape
/leavevehicle [canexitvehicle]
/use [mod:shift] Grand Expedition Yak
/stopmacro [mod:shift]
/use [advflyable] Cliffside Wylderdrake
#/use Eve's Ghastly ri
/run C_MountJournal.SummonByID(0)

The addon reserves five characters for assigning Id's to the macros. Blizzard has removed the ability to have 1023 characters in a macro like we're used to, so now we are limited by the native 255 characters (minus the five MegaMacro reserves).

As a workaround, to save characters can you just use /cancelform without the conditional? You want to leave form regardless of what form you're in right?

Having longer than 255 characters is the entire reason for the addon in the first place. So is this addon just outright dead?

Yup exactly. The primary feature was always the macro swapping capability. It sucks that blizzard has removed this additional pillar but it is what it is.

The last thing I see as a pillar feature is the improved ui and editing capabilities.

Hi Sellorio
I still think this issue should remain open as the ui is giving misleading info. 255 available as opposed to 250 due to the 5 reserved for the macro id

Fair enough
