A Macro for a multiattacking thri-keen?

Right so i'm a epic level Thri-keen with perfect multiweapon fighting attacks are: 4 at full BAB, 4 at BAB -5, 4 at BAB -10, and 4 at BAB -15. The problem is the only program I have for editing macros is notepad, and I can't really tell what i'm looking at in there any help?

You don't really need a specific programme for writing macros although I find a basic text editor in plain text mode best for 'works in progress'. Can we safely assume 3.5e given the BAB? In order to help better it would be useful to see any working macros you have relating to the attack in question. There will be limited options using the native 3.5e templates as they tend to max out after several attacks but, as long as you are happy/prepared to have a couple of macros in the event of crits or have some manual effort you can likely create something that takes 99% of the load using the default template. It would also be useful to know what level of detail you are wanting? Simply hit values, hit and damage, hit/crit and damage, hit/crit and damage/crit damage... any of the above versus AC, versus multiple ACs, possible special effects (Stun, poison etc that you might have), ability to select different weapons... all doable to a certain extent but without the deets we can only offer basics :/

The problem with notepad is it's page width limit is like 3 normal pages wide, so the default full attack macro get stretched out to almost one single line of text that you need to scroll side to side to see the entirety of. I was just looking to essentially combine the weapon 1-4 full attack macros (minus the "are you flanking" type questions more than once), and then I can modify that to account for sneak attack and the like pretty easily. Also yes 3.5e sorry, forgot this forum wasn't sub-divided by system. I managed something similar for a dragon once (six attacks across 5 weapons).
I use Notepad all the time. Just shrink your pad window down to something more manageable for you.
Are you using the 3.5 roll template?
yea 3.5e roll template
with the associated sheet?
This is the Full Attack macro straight from the sheet as is: &{template:DnD35Attack} {{pcflag=true}} {{name=@{character_name}}} {{subtags=attacks with a @{weapon1name} }} {{attack1=A1: [[ @{weapon1attackcalc} ]] }} {{critconfirm1=Crit?: [[ @{weapon1attackcalc} ]] }} {{fumbleroll=Fumble: [[ d20 ]] }} {{damage1=D1: [[ @{weapon1damage} ]] }} {{critdmg1=+ [[ @{weapon1crit} ]] }} {{fullattackflag= [[ ?{Full Attack?|No, 0d1|Yes, d1} ]] }} {{attack2=A2: [[ @{weapon1attackcalc}-5 ]] }} {{critconfirm2=Crit!: [[ @{weapon1attackcalc}-5 ]] }} {{damage2=D2: [[ @{weapon1damage} ]] }} {{critdmg2=+ [[ @{weapon1crit} ]] }} {{attack3=A3: [[ @{weapon1attackcalc}-10 ]] }} {{critconfirm3=Crit!: [[ @{weapon1attackcalc}-10 ]] }} {{damage3=D3: [[ @{weapon1damage} ]] }} {{critdmg3=+ [[ @{weapon1crit} ]] }} {{attack4=A4: [[ @{weapon1attackcalc}-15 ]] }} {{critconfirm4=Crit!: [[ @{weapon1attackcalc}-15 ]] }} {{damage4=D4: [[ @{weapon1damage} ]] }} {{critdmg4=+ [[ @{weapon1crit} ]] }}
You should be able to set Weapon1 on the weapons tab to your Thri-Kreen Weapon (That crystal glaive or whatever) and weapon 2 to Claw or whatever and set the macro on attack 1 and 2 to Weapon 1 (well, they already are) and 3 and 4 to weapon 2 or 3 or whatever. Don't forget to set the weapon damages on the same tab.
