Hi,
Im kinda new at this server and i dont really know 100% how it works (some more guides about the "utility" of some skills would be appreciated, because depending on the server several skills may be functional or useless, but thats not what i want to speak about).
My point to this thread is the AFK gump, i never trully liked it but these are the rules and we all need to play according to them, i was investigating and found out that you can just create a razor macro to notify you about the afk gump when it proccs even if you are running UO on background and thats just GREAT, the only problem i got with this is the next:
I dont know why, but everytime i restart razor my macro AFK gump crashes, because the "play click button" line just dissapears, thats awful, cuz sometimes i get client crashes or even PC crashes and then i have to wait again for the gump to procc to be able to save the macro again and keep doing other things while mining in background.
For Example: Yesterday i was mining for a while, i wanted to watch a movie while i was mining but something happened. I was mining about 40~ min without getting a gump to save, then i finally got the gump, and a couple of minutes after recording the macro my client crashed, so i had to wait another 40~ min to get the procc again and save the macro. After doing that (about 2 hours mining just to save a macro) i just had to left and could not see my movie.
I dont know if this happens to anyone or just to me or if there is a way to correctly save the macro in razor (i guess not), but my suggestion is kinda simple, i suggest that when you start mining/lumber/etc after a while without gathering (lets say 30 min) or after connecting, the first time you gather you get an AFK gump, and then just the way they are right now. That would help people who get client crashes or just have a terrible bad luck with the gumps to record the macro without being hours waiting to that purpose.
pd- Or maybe adding a command to procc that gump, like .afk for instance, that would make much easier for gatherers to do their job.
Thanks for spending your time reading and I'm sorry about my poor English, I hope I made my point clear enough.
Farewell.
