Improve Loot All

Unread post by zhazz »

As many have no doubt already experienced several times, much to their annoyance, the Loot All option often leave one or more items behind. Opening the container (chest/crate/skeleton/lootbag) and picking the Loot All option again doesn't always work either, resulting in at least one item necessitating manually looting it.

For anyone using the Client Extender — which is highly recommended! — there exists a neat little chat command that will loot all items:

Code: Select all

/lootall
It is, however, quite tedious to type this in everytime a container is looted. Assigning the command to a PC Tools Macro sadly doesn't work, as the / is instead turned into a ( for some obscure reason.

Therefore my suggestion:

Is it possible to override the Loot All option to trigger the /lootall command from the Client Extender? Or implement the same logic as the Client Extender uses to guarantee looting?

Short and concise :D

I guess it's not possible then. Or are you saying it's a bad idea?

try using the following into your chat or CE chat interface:

Code: Select all

/setmacro 11 /lootall
This will give you a button in the 11th hotbar slot (bar 2, hotbutton 1) that runs the "/lootall" command
This functionality is provided by the client extender, so will work for a clickbutton macro.
I play a baker. Sometimes she provides counseling or treatment.
Ask about our Breadflower daily special to save five coppers off a purchase of five pastries.
She seems unusually interested in cursed items.
She has also been seeking a variety of gems and stones.

I use this way for months already and it works like a charm. It does even still respect that you can't loot while there are mobs in melee range near you.

Thank you. That works wonders :)

To the best of my knowledge, it's not possible for us to edit the scripts attached to that GUI. I'm glad our other users were able to give you a good alternative, though!
