About IHML - I Have Macro Lol!

What it does

Important Notice: I am looking for someone to help maintain this addon. It's a great addon, I just don't have the time any longer.

Tired of manually having to open your macro window to swap macros for bosses? Running out of macro space because of all the different boss macros taking up a slot each? Getting sick of having to dig through your bags every time for those special daily quest items? Then IHML might be what you want.

IHML is an addon that gives you one macro which automagically changes what it is depending on what zone you're in or which BigWigs boss module is enabled. All you have to do is take the IHML macro (the addon creates this for you and you can find it in your macro window or by typing /ihml pickup) and place it on one of your action bars.

It comes preloaded with various macros for most if not all daily quests found in the game, and also provides marcros to help with boss encounters.

You can also add your own macros using the options menu (found by typing /ihml).

IHML will only use one macro slot and will work with any action bar addon that you can put a normal macro on. Due to addon limitations macros can't be swapped in combat but will instead be queued for swap as soon as possible.

Where to get it

Donations

I have setup a donation site via Plegie. Feel free to donate if you like this mod. I have put countless hours of time and effort into it along with many people who have helped me. I did not write this mod with the intent to make any money from it, I wrote it to help me with some needs that I saw in-game.

How to get it to work

You should have a macro named "ihml" that you can drag to the desired space on your action bar. You can find it among your normal macros or by typing /ihml pickup. If you logged in with all macro slots taken go to your macros and delete one from the general macros page (not the character specific). Then open the IHML configuration window (with /ihml) and click "Make Macro" on the options page.

Done! Whenever a BigWigs boss module load/reset or you enter a zone you have a macro for IHML will automagically swap to the correct macro.

Chat commands

  • Show the configuration window.
    /ihml
    
    or
    /ihml config
    
    or
    /ihml show
    
  • Place the IHML macro on your cursor, ready to be placed on an action bar where you want it.
    /ihml pickup
    

Everything is configurable from the configuration window, so that's the only command you need to learn. There are some more commands available if you happen to prefer chat commands:

  • /ihml help
    
    • Show a list of commands.
  • /ihml save
    
    • Save any modifications to the current macro.
  • /ihml saveas "new name"
    
    • Save modifications to a new macro. Notice the quotation marks. Use them if the name contains spaces.
  • /ihml rename "new name"
    
    • Change name for current macro.
  • /ihml rename "macro" "new name"
    
    • Change name for another macro.
  • /ihml delete "macro"
    
    • Delete a macro.
  • /ihml delete
    
    • Delete the current macro.
  • /ihml list
    
    • List all available macros.
  • /ihml anything else
    
    • Swap to the macro "anything else" if it exists. Notice the lack of quotation marks.

Macros

See the Default macros and Macro suggestions pages.

There are some special macros you can make apart from boss and zone macros.

  • default - This macro will be swapped in when no other macro takes priority.
  • default1 - This macro will be swapped in when no other macro takes priority and you are in talent spec 1 (if the option is enabled).
  • default2 - This macro will be swapped in when no other macro takes priority and you are in talent spec 2 (if the option is enabled).
  • party - Will be swapped in when you enter a 5-man instance. (NYI)
  • raid - Will be swapped in when you enter a raid instance. (NYI)
  • pvp - Macro for battle grounds. (NYI)
  • arena - Macro for arenas. (NYI) Note that macro names are case sensitive. "Default" or "PvP" will not work.

    Simple question: Does this work by sub-zone? So when I go into the Conservatory of Life (in Ulduar) it will set my macro to whatever I determine. Or does this addon only work for a zone/instance like "Ulduar". (I'm trying to avoid using Bigwigs)
  • #36
    I am unable to get bigwigs integration to work. It doesn't switch to the correct macro when a boss is loaded, and trying to create a macro with the name boss gives the message "No boss module loaded!" even when there is one loaded. Anyone else having this problem?
  • #37
    I am also having this problem. I have to manually swap macros before pulling a boss.

    Is there something we're missing?
  • #35
    Does it only want to create the ihml in the character specific macros section? I only have room under general macros. How do I get it to create the macro there?
  • #32
    I won't be doing DBM support, nor do I even want it in the mod any longer.

    http://www.postimage.org/aV1hbbQJ-d147d12610d28a211ea7f20a99274166.jpg

    DBM supports getting peoples accounts hacked. Cool eh?

    You need to remember, it's not the site that decides what adds are shown on their site, it's the Ad provider. Go ahead and look around various smaller WoW fansites, blogs and addon developer sites, you'll come across plenty gold seller ads. Heck, even the official WoW forums showed goldseller ads just a couple months ago.
    Personally I think that denying a really great supporting feature from your (albeit fantastic) addon is doing more harm then good. Either way, it's your addon and you're more then welcome to do what you like with it, I just hope someone can modify your code to include it at some point, or even yourself if you could be convinced otherwise.
  • #34
    I'm also being a butthead because there's a ticket (or was) about this a while ago. :P
    I don't use DBM, but if someone submits a patch for it, I will include it.
  • #31
    pleeeeeease add DBM support
  • #30
    /vote for DBM support

    I'm a BigWigs to DBM convert myself and just find it to be better, i really miss having IHML switch based on the encounter
  • #28
    Read the latest change log and noticed you called yourself lazy and thought it was about time i made a comment about this amazing addon.
    Dude ... to put it bluntly : you make our lives piss easy ... this is an amazing addon and i give you and any1 else assisting you with it all the rep of the world for putting such a great effort on it.

    is it working on 3.1.0?
  • #24
    I've created a fishing macro for ihml in Stormwind City. I've done an activation macro for it:
    /ihml Stormwind City
    So whenever Im somewhere out there I just click my switch-to-fishing -macro and use IHML button for it. The trouble is that sometimes I need to fish in places I have to use IHML button for quest item also. A good example is Blue Sky Logging Camp. There's bonds of Glacial Salmon and I need to bandage friendly troops.

    The point is that it would be great to see an command line addition for IHML which makes it switch back to local zone from whatever state it is in.

    For example I see fish and need to switch to fishing macro:
    /ihml fishing
    and after Im done
    /ihml thiszone
    which switches the current zone macro back.
