Due to "popular demand" snicker

Now trying to compensate delivery-route-selection-typos (like /mac postal Ak'Anon instead of /mac postal akanon).
Only works for zones where you could create supported toons though.

This also eliminates the auto-selection of Erudin->Qeynos in case of /mac postal.
If you are in either of the starting zones for toons in Qeynos or Erudin it will still work as before. No worries there!
  • If you have Selo's Accelerando memmed it will auto-twist it (MQ2Twist required!)
  • Will now /decay corpses you might have at the turnin npc
  • Added catch for unsupported starting zones for brand new characters
just a little bugfix (typo)
  • Added newbie characters for Akanon. They work for Ak'anon->Kelethin.
    • One run (respawn from suicide to next suicide) takes about 7:45 minutes for me (without casualties). Consider getting a bind closer to Lyra Lyrestringer
  • Added newbie characters for Freeport. They work for Freeport->Kelethin.
    • One run (respawn from suicide to next suicide) takes about 10 minutes for me (without casualties). Consider getting a bind closer to Ton Twostring
  • Changed Translocator Logic. This hopefully helps with crowded and overworked Translocators.
  • Reduced default rounds to 10 (if you want more start it with eg. /mac postal erudin 50
    • Nobody shall blame me for running 100 rounds unattended. Now it was your own fault :)
  • Changed handin logic for the delivery. Should help with fails due to attacking
Added route for Kaladim->Kelethin and changed logic for teleporters, ufo, elevators

If I find the time I may add a few more "soon" :-)
Got some requests so I added
Felwithe -> Kelethin

It works with all High Elf characters created in North/South Felwithe.
I had a runtime of less than 3:20 minutes per run.
Just added another delivery-option: Surefall Glade -> Qeynos.

Please note that the mac only supports characters created in Surefall Glade (for Surefall->Qeynos route) due to there not being a Soulbinder and them being bound right in front of the entrance to Surefall (making the mac still viable).

Mac should also work with any other (non-kos) character if they are bound in qeynos hills.
If one is bound in surefall - but without changes the mac will wait for a 99 second timeout after return to bind then, but should work properly aside from that.
Manual Binding in South Qeynos is a bad idea, because that would render the character stuck in a bind-death loop.

Furthermore this lead to a change (I should have made it that way right form the start sigh) on how to start the macro:

command is now /mac postal [Erudin|Surefall] {rounds}
Eg: /mac postal Surefall 50 (Surefall->Qeynos with 50 rounds).
/mac postal also works (defaulting to Erudin->Qeynos with 100 rounds) or for example with /mac postal Surefall 50 (Surefall->Qeynos with 50 rounds).
/mac postal Surefall (Starts the surefall->qeynos part for 100 rounds)
The macro can now also handle fresh new eggheads!
(As long as they are not from Paineel but from any of the Erudine suburbs.)

So this gives some additional options for characters. Not all those boring humans running around, doing the delivery.
