I've checked but the search brought up nothing so I thought I'd ask. I'm after some help from people with more intelligence than me on how to create macros for bards tale 2. I have a logitech keyboard/mouse and would like to set up a way to have my mages and bard auto cast all the good stuff before I go into dungeons. I know with a bit of effort I could maybe figure it out but my comprension skills are lower than a fourth grader. Even thats too high. Thanks in advance.

What "good stuff" are you talking about? My usual BT2 dungeon preparation was BASP from an archmage, and a bard song (usually the one that lowered the AC) if I had a bard with me. If you don't have an archmage, your spells will vary depending on what level your mages are, so you would need to change your macro as your characters leveled up.

There are programs out there that auto-click, and some that would auto type characters. Check one of those out, depending on your system/needs.
If you're still looking for something like this, I'd try Autohotkey. I just found it while I was looking for a way to stop two of the buttons on my mouse from going forward/backward on web pages, as it's really, really annoying me when I'm typing things in various forums. You can edit your own text files to assign various keys to run macros for you, so if you wnted one to have your first four characters attack in mele and have your back three spell casters all cast NUKE, you can set that up pretty easily.

Edit -
After monkeying around a bit, the general syntax for a combat script would be something like this. It's everything between the dashed lines, and save in a file with an ahk extension.

This assigns the Windows-N combination to do the following steps:
Starts the fight (F)
Tour first four characters in the party attack the first group of monsters
Your last three spellcasters cast NUKE
Agrees to these commands.

The Sleep 30 delays 30 milliseconds before typing in the next command, so the buffer doesn't get overloaded.

Another app that works well is Typeitin. I used that to kill the samurai over and over again in BT1, and also to create a bunch of characters, pool gold to one character, delete said characters.. over and over again to get money. Had to be done 1x when my entire party died and I could not afford to revive them.
