Macro Text Images

Accredo · #1 05-18-2009, 03:47 PM

Hi:

Not sure what category this falls under. The other night I saw a player who when casting a spell had made a macro announcing what is was. The interesting part about it was that within the text or I should say before and after the text there were musical notes displayed along the text line.

We were raiding so it wasn't a good time to chat how he had done that and after the raid I had forgotten to ask and he logged.

Does anyone know how to insert for example images like MS-Word symbols for the lack of a better way to describe that or is there a utility to achieve this.

I tried a rudimentry cut/paste of a symbol when creating a macro. When I tested it all I got was an empty box where the image should have been. Of course I really didn't think it was that easy to do but I had to try.

Any ideas or links on this subject?

Thanks
Accredo

it is as simple as cut & paste, but you need to use the ingame macro function, anything you put in a file will not work

Thanks Am9. I used the ingame macro function. From what source can I obtain an image? Is it important from where I copy the image from? My thought was it should be small hence my attempt in coping a MS-Word symbol and pasting it in the command line of the ingame macro.

no images, just characters. not all may be supported by the chat font you have selected. here's your musical symbols, you can copy them from here: ♪♫

Thankyou, I'll give those a shot and also look into the chat font I'm currently using.

log into game. window game, go to windows start and type in charmap. Once charmap is opened, choose arial font, scroll down near bottom and find teh 2 notes. select as many as you want, click copy.

go back to game, open your macro and position cursor. click ctrl v to paste.

rinse and repeat.
