Cende

Pretty much everyone here agrees with you, and we've been suggesting these things for years.

See also: Decorative Base Items We'd Like to See, Base Issues List Post I-12, and many old threads.

A new reminder to the Devs doesn't hurt, though.

For me, it's holding down the right mouse button and moving the POV around that way. If you've rebound your keys, look at your options to what you have "mouse look" set to.

I would like to very much thank Ironblade for putting up with missed times, missed tells, and altogether a weird connection - only to get into the supergroup and discover we had somehow managed to randomly pick up the second badge.

Then he explained the setup for a friend of mine, so she'll be able to set that up herself.

Merry Christmas, Happy Yule, Joyous Festivus, Happy Hanukkah, Skippy Ramadan, and Glorious New Year.

Also, for those that don't celebrate any of the above, I hope you have a really fantastic winter.

I just want to know how pantsless is any worse than drunk.

So, I apologize for the delay in getting these back up.

However, they're all available now.

http://unbidden.fantasyalternative.org is the address.

If they're no longer on the front page when you get there, go to the downloads directory.

And yes, I know my website needs to be finished. I'm working on it.

SG badges are for the entire SG and don't count towards your "official" badge total. They remain with the SG no matter what.

Technically, because your SG has already gotten the badges, so have you.

I'll be on tomorrow evening (Cende) after about 7 pm Pacific. I can be on pretty much as late as needed. If you haven't gotten someone to help by then, I'll be happy to take the pictures for you.

A friend of mine put CoH on a thumbdrive, and regularly updated it, so all her preferences were there (actually, she had the entire OS on her drive, and just ran whatever computer she was on from the drive, but that's a different issue).

It's a little slower than running it off the main harddrive, but if the computer's crap anyway (this one was, it was my guest computer), it's not really that noticeable.

I don't know how ipods connect to the computer, but if they're effectively glorified thumbdrives, it should work - as long as you have the space.

124 - 128 minutes.

Every time I'm in the editor, it crashes just after 2 hours. I don't get lag at all until just before the crash; then I have a couple of molasses moments, followed by total non-response and a crash to desktop. Restarting the game gets me a check, but it's fine after that. I'll keep everything I did from just before the molasses moments (maybe 2 to 6 minutes of editing), which has actually saved my butt once (I accidentally deleted something I didn't want to delete - crashing means it was still there when I came back).

When I have a lot of editing to do, I try and remember to set my timer to shut down and restart every 120 minutes.

It depends on how much storage you have, in part. We've found, in the past, that much more than 14,000 items pretty much totally kills the base (and said 12,000 for safety) - and that if you have a lot of storage, that number drops. Not much storage, you can have higher numbers. That 20k hard cap seems to include storage overhead.

There's two things that seem to randomly keep rooms from moving:

1. Stacked items. If anything in the room is stacked, the room won't move. This can include such piddly little things as jars on a table.

2. Veteran rewards. If you have any of the vet rewards in the room (especially posters on the wall), the room won't move.

Sometimes, also, if there's something ON the walls, the room won't move, because the editor is trying to put a door in a braindead location.

The first step is the most basic- if you have anything on the walls, move it up to the very, very top (raise the ceiling) or move it out of the room entirely.

Second step is to look for anything stacked, and move that to the floor. If you have a massive stacking project in there.. it's easier to move the other room.

Third step is to create a new version of the room where you were going to place this one, and just move everything by hand, 'cause you got stuck with one of the random crap bugs that occasionally pop up and there's nothing to be done about.

Nobody does contests - I mean, what would you give as rewards, really? - but base tours happen. Some folks are trying to get it to be more regular (I was one of them, but my life reached way up and bit me on the... tail).
