Pulover's Macro Creator v5.4.1 - The Complete Automation Tool

[vasili111]

Pulover’s Macro Creator is #1 Free Macro Automation Software for Computers to Perform Repetitive Tasks (http://www.raymond.cc)

...Pulover’s Macro Creator, our first choice of macro software has the right balance. It is easy enough for a beginner to use while it offers complex actions for managing windows, controls, files, strings, search images/pixels on screen and even create If/Else Statements for advanced users to control the flow of macros. Other than that, the compiled recording takes up very little memory usage during playback...

I thought I wouldn't find the time and energy to finish another major release of PMC, but here we are!

Besides new icons for a better look, this update brings many bug fixes and new features of which I would highlight the support for Real AHK Expressions, not only math operations, and User-Defined Functions. So now you can define your own functions inside PMC with parameters, variables and return values.

PMC now has a built-in Language Editor, so if you want to contribute with a translation correction, it's much easier now. Just make the changes, save, test and submit them to me without leaving the app. Lang file updates may be released independent of application releases now.

There has been some big internal modifications, especially in the Playback routine, so there might be some hidden bugs out there. Please, let me know if you find any.

Cara, sinceramente... que orgulho ver um brasileiro como você elevando o nível do AutoHotkey a outro patamar! Seu macrocreator é algo fantástico! Esse (poderoso) aplicativo tem me salvo a vida constantemente. Quando crescer quero ser igual a você, hahaha. Forte abraço e parabéns pelo trabalho primoroso.

SORRY GUYS, I needed to congratulate him in our main language. Don't get mad at me, please.

Ok, I was testing my old macros in this new version and all of them leaded the application to hung. I had to change the header of the macro scripts in order to make it work, as follows:

Old header

Code: Select all

[PMC Code]|F3||1|Window|1|Macro1

New header

Code: Select all

[PMC Code v5.0.0]|F3||1|Window,2,Fast,0,1,Input,-1,-1,1|1|Macro1
Groups=Start:1

I guess it's because the new code changes. BTW, the important thing is: it's working

[Pulover]

Hi dammtools,

Thank you for the feedback!

Well, I opened a few old project files here and it didn't hang, but maybe there's a problem with the conversion from old syntax to real expressions that I didn't catch. Did you try to uncheck/check a row and save the file to update the header automatically?

Valeu, cara. Um braço!

[Adorabla]

Awesome!!:)
Thank you @Pulover

Testing the new Version at the Weekend...

Very Nice !!!
Nice new Feature's !!!
Thank you for enhancing PMC

Hmm, well, I was trying to open these macro files, even with new headers, but they aren't working again. When I try to open them it seems that they become blocked (I try to click the macro body and it sounds like there's a box or something like that in front, blocking the access to the script), the application hungs and immediately starts draining cpu. Maybe it's the file size? I have some macros with 5000+ lines.

BTW, the only way I've found to solve this issue is right clicking the app icon on tray and selecting "Deactivate Macros" or "Stop" commands, so the script fully opens and let me work on it. And no, I unchecked some boxes, saved the file, checked again and saved again and the problem persists. Plus I can't use "Save as", it's not working with these files as well.

I attached one of these macros on this post. If you can check it out...

[EDIT] I'm using Macro Creator on Windows 10 x64, if this info can help in any way...

Thank you for the file. It's hanging for me too. I debug it a little and I believe it's a thread issue, so I'll have to make some tests to find what's the best solution.
I'm going to fix the problem and release an update in a week or so. Just want to give some time for more bugs to show up.

I've opened an issue for this problem on github.

Great work! I've been using the macro for months now because it saves so much time. Keep it up!

Also, a suggestion! If you could implement recording keystrokes and mouse movement for DirectX games, that would be revolutionary.
I would definitely donate or purchase a package for that feature, 100%.


Have a great day!

I hope this is a good place to report bugs.
I have version 5.0 installed and I cannot change Recording Options. I tried using the toolbar and the drop down menu, neither of them works.
I just simply cannot check or uncheck any of the options.
I am using the x64 version. Tried the portable version as well. No luck.

Hopefully I am no missing something very obvious and this is indeed a bug.

EDIT:
Going into the Options it shows that I can actually change the recording options using the drop down menus, but the the check marks are not updating.
So unless I go into Options->Recording I cannot know which options are enabled, because the drop drown menu shows the default options, no matter what the actual settings are

Thanks for the feedback, chukozy

The recorder capture keys and mouse actions using hotkeys and checking the position of the pointer, so if it's not working for a particular game, it's probably because the game itself must be blocking it. Also, some games, mostly fps, will lock the mouse pointer. If I get some time I will test the recorder on some games and see if there's anything I can do.

Hi minimalis, thank you for the report.

The menu is actually working, it changes the options, but it's not updating. Like I said, there have been lots of changes and I was sure I would miss something like that lol... I've opened an issue on github and will fix that for the next release.

Hello Pullover, i saw your latest v5 first tutorial, quite impressive, but still unable to make both your software as well AHK script.
Will you find right direction to make this>

Kindly look into this and make more video tutorials on your awesome software.
thanks.

Hi,

I'm sorry but I don't know how to solve this problem. You can also install AutoHotkey, download the source from github and run it directly from the ahk script. Or even use ahk2exe to compile it for yourself.

You'll hardly get any help if you ask people to do the whole work for you... Show us what you have done so far and ask for help where you are getting stuck.

From what I could understand you'd get the multipart rar part done easier using WinRar command lines. As for the upload you'll have to think of how you want to do it... My first tutorial shows something similar. You can use a File-Loop and send the built-in variables to the fields.

Question!

Where are backup file(s) located?

Where would they be stored in directory?

Thanks Rodolfo ! I'll give that a try.

Pulover, New version looks great, and new function are fantastic, thanks.

But i found problem in ImageSearch (or maybe it is the way you wanted it to be )
In version 4... when i used press Mouse Button in ImageSearch, it pressed exactly in the left top corner. but now in this v5, it doesnt. It moves few extra pixels up and left. Is it possible to fix this?
