Macro Item Link
This page is pulled from several comments in a discussion you can find here: https://www.project1999.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-248562.html
The first link you make will be the most difficult. From my experience, generating the special ctrl-R character was the worst of it. After that you can just copy/paste/edit the existing one.
- Search for the item on mqemulator.net. Eg, for blue diamond see this page: http://mqemulator.net/item.php?id=22503
- Note the ID. You can see the ID in the URL and also in parentheses on that page. In this case, the ID is 22503
- Convert the ID to hexadecimal. You can use a site like http://www.binaryhexconverter.com/decimal-to-hex-converter to do this. In this case, the hexadecimal number is 57E7.
- 4 digit hex numbers should have two 0s before them, 3 digit hex numbers should have 3. (left padded 0s to 6 digits) and should be padded with 0s at the end so that it's 45 characters total. In this case, the number would be 0057E7000000000000000000000000000000000000000
- Find/type a hidden/unprinted character called control-R, octal 22, hex 12 (you will need to be able to input unicode hex). In certain text editors, when typed this will appear as a simple rectangle, other times it will not appear at all. It shows up in notepad and text edit.
(Here (http://www.poynton.com/notes/misc/mac-unicode-hex-input.html) is how to switch to unicode hex on a mac - switch to the unicode hex input keyboard and type option-1-2) (Here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_input#In_Microsoft_Windows) is how to do it in Windows)
NOTE: on a windows laptop with no dedicated numpad, you'll need to download a numpad app (I found one in the windows app store, not linking b/c no idea if it's a particularly good one/not riddled with malware)
