Illegal mods are all mods having the same effect as a macro tool. Enabling automated or faster skilling, crafting, etc... The live map is not illegal.
From the WO rules:
Macro
Definition: A macro is any software/hardware that automates the sending of actions to the game server without user interaction and is not permitted.
A ) Key locking (IE weighing down a key on your keyboard) is not permitted.
B ) Multiboxing (automated sending of actions to more than one client at the same time) is not permitted.
Attendance required:
Make sure to attend your game session when performing actions. If you use keybinds and send actions that finish often, make sure that your actions have desired effect before starting a new queue in case you watch TV or do something similar that steals your attention. When performing actions that you start more seldom and take a long time to finish (such as fishing or training shields) you still need to verify that you have a valid target now and then when starting the action which should be no problem. In case we notice that you are not attending the game and express prolonged robotic behaviour where your actions have no effect you risk being banned for automated play. This will of course not happen when playing normally or being afk. You also have to make sure to respond to any popup questions that may occur due to such perceived automation.
Punishment: First offense - Permanent avatar ban. Second offense - Loss of all avatars/accounts and permanent ip ban.
- Penalties for macro abuse may be applied at any time pending GM review, even if you have discontinued abusing a macro at time of penalty.
Use of the 'G' keys on a G series keyboard, mouse, or other similar product is permitted to send multiple actions simultaneously (without any default, built-in, or added delay timings) in order to fill your in game ACTION QUEUE provided you do NOT use any sort of repeat function.

Just posting this here because this is what I use basically (which can make my actions seem faster). Basically, it uses only a few keys for different jobs (digging, mining, farming, etc), switching between them with the Function keys. forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/76025-darays-keyboard-guide/This uses no mods/macros whatsoever so I believe this is okay. Please confirm.  |

If it automates the switching of tools then this is considered AS macro. We can not differ between this mod and a macro, so it must be considered AS illegal.
Keybinds alone are fine.

but you can even use this in wurm online without problems ...so its an official possibility.

Keybinds are OK of course but automated switching using keybinds is illegal

All right, looks like I need to remap my entire keyboard.  *edit* Talked to Dominikk in-game, said that having hotkeys to switch keybinds is legal, however automation of any kind, especially improving, is illegal. Crisis averted. |

what about the toolbelt mod that picks tools still needing to improve repair as normal what about compass mod ? what about live map mod? There is no way to reliably detect either of them on the server, as such IMHO having any kind of policy on them is entirely pointless. At least with macroing you can catch someone in the act (doing stuff while not responding) but even that is questionable as people often do mindless tasks while watching TV or looking at cat pictures and paying 0 attention to the game. |
