Notes

  • Maybe I have spent a full day on this to fix to classic, just to found spiralofhope's fork. But I need this addon on Curse Forge, so I will keep this version. And try to keep it updated. (Specially on classic, cause I'm playing on retail right now)
  • This addon is largely unchanged from hypehuman's spiralofhope's and efforts!
  • I am new to Lua and WoW addons at all, but I'll try my best to fix bugs and keep it up-to-date.
    • If you are a developer, I am happy to:
      • Accept GitHub pull requests.
      • Add you as a contributor on GitHub.
  • There is basic compatibility with LargerMacroIconSelection
    • (just don't click it's ok at the bottom-right)

Installation

Since it's a regular addon, it's manually installed the same as every other addon would be.

  1. Download Super Duper Macro

  2. Extract it to your Interface\AddOns folder.

Perhaps your game is installed to one of:

C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft
C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft (x86)

.. and so you would extract the contents of your downloaded archive to something like:

C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\_retail_\Interface\AddOns

.. and so you would end up with the folder

C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\_retail_\Interface\AddOns\SuperDuperMacro

.. and inside it would have SuperDuperMacro.toc and all the other files.

Configuration / Usage

Open the interface by typing /sdm

  • Create macros beyond the 255-character limit, and even beyond the 1023-character macrotext limit.
    • However, no individual line in a macro may be more than 1023 characters long (you will get a warning).
    • The number of lines is unlimited.
  • Share macros in-game.
  • Button macros
    • 36 global and 18 character-specific for each character.
  • Floating macros are accessed with /click either at the chat box or within a macro.
    • There is a Usage button which will explain how.
    • You can make as many of these as you want.
  • Lua scripts of unlimited length
    • /sdm run <name>
    • sdm_RunScript("name")
  • NOTE: World of Warcraft has a limitation where the macro's icon will not change if #showtooltip or the macro are long.
    • SuperDuperMacro has not attempted to correct for this limit, so if you have a very long #showtooltip with many modifiers like [mod:x] or [form:x], your icon will not change. You can still have a complex macro, but that #showtooltip will have to be made simple.

Issues and suggestions

(issues list)

  • If you seen an error, disable all addons but this one and re-test before creating an issue.
    • If you have multiple addons installed, errors you think are for one addon may actually be for another. No really, disable everything else.
  • Search for your issue before creating an issue.
  • Always report errors.
    • There are several helpful addons to catch errors. Try something like TekErr.
