We're still here, meaning the chances of getting banned are slim. It's up to you. Shortkeys are a really effective way of spamming fancy text with the push of a single button. This is a short guide on how to set them up. Download Click here to download. Install Installing Shortkeys Lite is pretty simple. All you need to do is click "next" and "I Agree", the installer will do the rest for you. When you open it for the first time you'll be hit with a splash screen asking you to configure the program. The default options are perfect, so you can just click next. Setting It Up Once you've installed the program, you're going to need to add some shortkeys to it. On the main panel, you should see what looks like a blank page with a green plus in the corner, click that to start adding short keys.  Another screen will load.  The "Original Shortkey" is the key you want to push to automate the text. Replacement text, well, that's the text you want to show up once you push your shortkey. You can add all the colour codes and fancy text codes before your text in the replacement text field, and it'll appear on your text box and show up as normal. Pretty simple. If you need any help, don't hesitate to ask. --------------------    | ||

I've probably been reported countless times, but when you're spamming some place where there's lots of other spam, it's not flooding the chat which means its really no harm. Jagex still CAN ban you for it if they wanted, but I haven't heard any real stories about people getting banned for macroing from shortkeys...just don't use it at the GE or stuff like that. -------------------- Dragon Claws Drops: 1 2 Dragonic Visage Drops: 1 Ruined Dragon Drops: 1 Abyssal Whip Drops: 1 2 | ||

 IRC Nickname: Matt|Multi Group: Emeritus Posts: 668 Member No.: 49 Joined: December 30, 2007 Total Events Attended: 12 | Tbh, I never could understand why Jagex doesn't allow macroing (Though RS players and the rest of the MMO world have two different definitions for macroing, what RS defines as macroing is more commonly referred to as botting or scripting) 99% of the major MMOs on the market allow user macroing with limitations. They're a series of simple commands bound to one button, that can basically be used to trivialize minor tasks or make something more accurate/faster, but cannot actually play the game for you. For instance, a simple macro for RS might be a macro that opens your magic tab, casts a certain teleport spell, then switches back to your inventory screen for example. Makes things simple and saves time, but it isn't actually playing the game for you. Botting or scripting would be using something like an auto-miner which is in conscious control of the game. Macros cannot do anything until they are initiated, and have pre-imposed limits on what can and cannot be done via macro command. I do wish they would AT LEAST impliment key bindings. Sure, let people click to move, but ffs, let them make hotkeys for stuff. -------------------- Born at sea, baptized in blood your fame will never die.

 IRC Nickname: Squelchyfish Group: Emeritus Posts: 625 Member No.: 38 Joined: December 30, 2007 Total Events Attended: 71 | I find these annoying and pointless. Its infuriating when you are trying to sell something and some faggot pukes up 20 lines in the time it takes you to type two words. If you want to let people know where the piles are use quick chat then hit f11, it repeats the last chat. Thats perfect at wars, so you dont need this shit. If you get it that means you will use it for other things, which is not good. Im on 156 days on this account, i am sure others have many more. Im not willing to risk them for such a trivial thing. WG used to be about honour, in the real sense not clan world sense. We dont ban autoers because they are "bad" or immoral, we ban them because thats what Jagex has decided, and we are sensible enough to respect their decision even though its mostly utter crap. After a couple of days of lurking on mumble its clear many many wg members use propper autoers, and i find it shameful. I waste my life clicking away for the same achivements some people get for loading up an autoer and having a wank. --------------------   "Take lobsters because I don't want us to die" -HisLordship on WG pvp PKing, 26 April 2010. | ||

The thing that you have to realize is that WG is changing with Runescape. We don't use a lot of honor codes that we used to because the clan world and wilderness alike have changed. Whether we said it in the rules or not, we never banned anyone for saying they botted, thoguh we never condoned it either. Shortkeys is an applcation that uses something that Jagex would have implemented if their target audience was not as immature as they are and could handle havin something that could easily been abused. Therefore, if you feel you have the maturity to handle a device for convience instead of griefing, I have a feeling Jagex will tolerate it. Botting is a whole different issue than Shortkeys and should not be related in your argument. Jagex includes it in the rules under macroing to cover all their bases when banning griefers.

We DID ban people for botting. And nothing has changed in runescape in this regard. Our honour code has been neglected, nothing has changed. Perhaps the wilderness is a little different perhaps they cut down on real world traders but our honourcode hasn't changed. People have forgotten about it. -------------------- "Take lobsters because I don't want us to die" -HisLordship on WG pvp PKing, 26 April 2010. | ||

You're inflating what morality is - there's no moral harm in using a key to type a sentence in the occasional event of a RuneScape war. There's a very small risk to your account, and perhaps a matter of gaming honor, but it doesn't fundamentally affect anybody in any way. There's no moral substance in the issue. Just opinions. --------------------  London RL Meeting attendee - Paris RL meeting attendee Joined WG in October 2005 - Original DG - Ex-Raid Leader Proud Council Member from October 21st 2007 to May 19th 2008 | ||

| IRC Nickname: Squelchyfish Group: Emeritus Posts: 625 Member No.: 38 Joined: December 30, 2007 Total Events Attended: 71 | Your argument is invalid sgt as using f11 on quickchat is exactly the same as pressing a button. So you can both win the war and keep your morality. -------------------- "Take lobsters because I don't want us to die" -HisLordship on WG pvp PKing, 26 April 2010. | ||
