Costume Change Macros

For some reason the MA Booster and Mutant Booster pack emotes are not working for my macros. Here they are:
/macro CC0 cce 0 energymorph
/macro CC1 cce 1 rapidboil
/macro CC2 cce 2 dimensionalshift
/macro CC3 cce 3 SmokeBomb
/macro CC4 cce 4 NinjaLeap

Have they changed something in those? I use that general setup for other Costume Changes with no problems.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Father Xmas you are usually right on, but for some reason they are not working. Any other suggestions? Again, I'm using these as macros and not binds.

Thanks again,

As the link Father Xmas shows, it's because you are using the wrong commands.
It doesn't matter if you are using it as a bind or a macro. They are the same command.

Should be:
/macro CC0 cce 0 ccPodPerson
/macro CC1 cce 1 ccRapidBoil
/macro CC2 cce 2 ccDimensionShift

(Capitals are optional, but included for ease of reading.)

[Edit: Dang... beaten to it.]

I see the problem now, I was not adding the extra cc before the emote, not sure why that got added after the MA Booster pack, but I will live with it.

The "cc" part has always been there since the first implementation of costume changes in the Magic pack.

Not only that, but your DimensionalShift is really DimensionShift, NinjaLeap is NinjaJump, and EnergyMorph is PodPerson.

PodPerson will be changed into EnergyMorph when the patch on the test server hits live.

Hopefully they mean that EnergyMorph will be *ADDED*, and PodPerson will still work, because otherwise I have to go through and change a lot of damn binds.

I agree that would be nice. Maybe they will do the same thing for NinjaJump too?

Ok, I don't know why this would happen, but when I try to use a costume change emote made with this macro:

/macro Cos1 "emote none$$cce 1"
or
/macro Cos1 "cce 1"

I get the error: "Unknown command: cce 1"

This happens no matter what costume slot I assign for the change, or whether I use a costume change emote or not - right now I just want a macro that changes my costume, I will worry about the emote later. But this is just not possible.

*I have tried all variations of these commands with CC instead of cce, but its the same error.
*I am testing with NO powers or toggles running.

Has anyone else had this problem, or is it just me (account, install, cache, etc)?

Without a emote, the command would be:

/macro Cos1 "cc 1"

CC = Costume Change
CCE = Costume Change Emote

Double check. Me thinks you got CCE and CC backwards.

That's because "/cce" requires two arguments (which costume slot, which costume change emote), and you are giving it one (which costume slot).

/cce 1 ccninjaleap

translates into

slash command (/cce), costume slot (1), costume change emote (ccninjaleap)



Kitsune is correct, if you just want to change your costume without an emote, do not use "cce".

Thank you for the help with this. It turned out that the times I was getting the error message was because of what you said - using CCE without a second argument. The other problem I experienced was when the macro simply didn't do anything, and that was because I was using cce properly, but wrote ccNinjaLeap instead of ccNinjaJump, which is what it wants.

Two mistakes in one.. :S

Anyways, thank you for the quick responses!

I just purchased the game on-line. Did my recent purchase include those boosters needed to use the costume change macros (i.e. with the smoke bomb). Or do I need to purchase them separately?

Done and done. Page is now bookmarked.
Also, the backflip emote works very nicely.

I'm not sure when it changed, but I just discovered that it's now ccNinjaLeap, and no longer ccNinjaJump.

They do like to keep us on our toes, don't they?
