    Macro Saving

    Yeah, my computer is fucking up so I have to wipe the hard drive and reinstall everything. Again.

    Anyhow, I remember reading something about being able to save your macro sheets on FFXI's servers for a few days. Does anyone know anything about this? I heard it like a year ago, and search didn't really turn up anything. Can someone help me out (if such a thing exists)?

    You can't save them to the Servers.

    just backup the user directory in your playonline folder.

    I thought you could save them in the character selection screen, ctrl+ alt + s or some nonsense. Or maybe that was the cheat code for unlimited gil....

    You can save them in the character selection screen, but that only saves them somewhere locally. Just backup the user directory as Rafbacca suggested.

    Ctrl+B backs up a set.
    Ctrl+R restores it.

    This is done at the character selection screen. No, it doesn't save to the servers, it's a local copy.

    To be more specific, cause backing up a whole directory is nonsence take a while, if all he wants are the macro's, Go to:

    C: drive > Program Files > Playonline > SquareEnix > FINAL FANTASY XI > USER

    Just save this "USER" folder, is where it contains all the macros. Heck you can even save it on a Floppy disc.

    when you reinstall the game again, just transfer the contents of the "USER" folder into the newly installed FFXI.


    Edit: oops i didnt see that rafbecca mentioned "user" in his post, i thought he meant the whole directory.
