Hello Barry, try to click the save button in edit mode for each macro and see if that works. If not try to delete the macro icon and recreate it and give it a try again. Do you use Edge or Internet Explorer browsers? They tend to output extra stuff, so is better to do it with Chrome or Firefox. If is not browser related then you can always try to backup your WTF folder and delete it to test the addon settings from scratch to see if there is any old stuff that is messing it up. If still not working after a fresh install, I am not sure where to proceed from there, but can always go to Discord chat and try to seek help there. ---

You open up the sequencer viewer through /gs while ingame. You will be presented with a blank screen and a number of option buttons at the bottom. Choose Import and then paste the macro into that box. Hit Save It should show you the macro on that window now with either a blue book or a ? If it’s the book highlight the macro name until Create Icon lights up and then hit that, it will change from the blue book to a ? once it’s a ? you then drag that to your action bar then you’re good to go ---

check if the macros are ending correctly. Most post half finished macros’s here or dont watch what they actually copied. The most common mistake made is the ending. It should end like ```auto }, }, }, } ``` ---

If you post what you are trying to use I can help more. The storage string error message means you have a garbage blank space that gse doesn’t know how to interpret so won’t import. ---

Hello Barry, Like I said previously, do not use Edge. Download Google Chrome or Firefox and try again. ---

The reason for this is Edge is adding in garbage spaces which GSE cannot interperate, it’s something to do with how it does text encoding. Internet Explorer will interperate the spaces into double line spacing which causes problems too. This is why it’s best to use Chrome or Firefox which don’t have these kinds of issues. ---
