Important Razor Macro Solution

[Ronk]

If you are like me, you saw razor update automatically without any way to stop it. Then you found that any macros in sub-categories were gone.

The most recent razor update has moved all macros to:
C:\Documents and Settings\Ronk\Application Data\Razor\Macros

Obviously replace Ronk with your computer name/login.

It appears as though razor still supports seeing macros in your razor/macros folder but NOT those found in categories.

So what I did was go to my razor/macros folder, copy everything there, and paste it in the application data razor macros area. Relaunched razor and my macros are back.

If you found this thread helpful, feel free to donate to me lots of cool stuff :-p

Just disable razor updates ...

Ronk on!

First of all: thanks to Ronk! This really helped, since I was confused as to how to get my macros back into categories.

Second: Chaos, while that is a helpful tip in the future, that's not what this thread is about. Once Razor updates it would be a PITA to uninstall and reinstall, as opposed to this, which is ctrl+c then ctrl+v.

Third: For Win7 users: I found the same info at:
C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Roaming\Razor\Macros
Appdata seems to be hidden by default, but if you just replace the < > above with your username, and copy paste into a folder window, it'll take you there.

Good luck,
Bash

A big THANK YOU to Ronk for figuring this out and sharring it with us.

Im on vista is this Appdata the only place it would be sending those files? because i found my macros there but cannot find them anywhere else.

[Ronk]

I'm not familiar with Vista. I recommend upgrading to a real operating system. Hehe. Sorry :-/

Do a c: search on *.macro

Nothing... i mean it shows a macros folder but with nothing in it, and if you put something in it no mater if its admin enabled notepad files it Razor won't pick them up. But if i search for appdata and open the folder i can find my macros in there... and if i paste a macro in appdata/razor/macro's the macro works... why is it sending my macros to a hidden file that i have to search for?

Let me ask this... is razor usable on OSI servers? and if so is it possible that they updated it to place it in that folder *appdata* - which is hidden to avoid anti-macro detection of some sort?

[Ronk]

Because razor is stupid and they updated something they shouldn't have touched and didn't do a good job at that. -_-

First part: Who knows why they did it, but you're looking in the right spot. As I noted above, you don't have to search every time, necessarily.

Next: No, it isn't usable on EA servers. (OSI being long defunct.) I don't think that's why they did it, as I understand Razor only works on un-encrypted clients, and the official client (probably) doesn't meet that requirement.

Well thankfully im really smart and in less then 12 hours figured Razor out well enough to write reasonable macro's rofl, atm i just look at what others do and make changes to prevent "you must wait a moment" messages.

Example: Peacemaking/provo macro that has two 10 sec pauses. Nothing fancy but hey it works, guess im saying ill just deal lol.
