Been gone for a bit and my macros are dead...

I have been away for awhile. I am setting up a new game I copied from an old one. I noticed my Light Source macros no longer work. For example the old one was- !torch ?{Total Light Radius (Bright + Dim)|40} - 1   I used this so I did not have to adjust every character each time they lit a torch. Anyone know what I am doing wrong? Do I now need a Pro account to use it? I am very computer illiterate, just to throw that out there. 
I suspect you're using an API script there, which is indeed a PRO level perk.
Well heck. I was only Plus last time and it worked. I thought that might somehow be the case though. Thanks much for the reply!

API Scripter
The API has always required the creator of the game to have a Pro subscription (formerly known as the mentor level). It could be that last time you were in a game being run by a Pro subscriber?

My GM Initiative works  @{selected|token_name} The enemy rolls a [[1d20+?{modifier|0}&{tracker}]] for initiative!  Is there a way I can set the tokens up with a macro for light? I really don't want to have to edit all the tokens every time something happens. I appreciate any help I can get and your time responding. Thanks much! EDIT: I am very code and macro illiterate. I have been searching everywhere for a light macro and can not find one.
Macros can only read  values. The API is needed to change  values, such as light settings.

It looks easy enough to use the library of scripts without having to worry about not knowing how to write them. Thanks so much everyone for the help!
