Cthulhufan

Can't get past the splash screen on the test server. The normal game runs fine. Fresh Vista 64 install (as in 3 days old), only the latest video/audio drivers for BFG 9800GTX OC video card, 3.2Ghz Core 2 Duo CPU, 4gb DDR2 800mhz RAM, 10k RPM Raptor HDD.

Anything special I should know about? I've been on the test server before (it's been a while) but now it just dies at the splash screen, even in safe mode. No error code, just says that COH crashed out and must close would I describe what I was doing. Like I said, normal game runs fine.

Dear Dr. Aeon.

I was hoping in the future we might be able to have access to the base models for enemy groups without any powers. I realize there might be some oddities with this such as well, I can't think of any specifics but weapons where they shouldn't be and more I'm sure, but what if I want a zombie and I don't want them to have guns but I like the banished pantheon models. Why can't I give them dark/dark powers and have them just not draw the guns. Or how about if I want a L50 Shivan with custom Rad powers or a Rularuu Brute for a level 1-10 mission arc where they are severely weakened and I give them simple powers.

I think if we could just have unfettered access to the models and the ability to add any power to any model that would alleviate a lot of the requests of people wanting x mob available in a wider variety of levels.

Also, I would like to be able to give them a wider variety of ranged attacks. I have a villain mission where they take on a Police Convention and all the cops with war maces (for billy club) have throwing knives. Since when do cops use throwing knives?! I would like the ability to be able to give them shotguns instead. Perhaps make melee powerset enemies in MA have a 3rd (and required option) for ranged weapon instead of cramming it into the melee set. The author could select shuriken or knives or shotgun or hatchet or flame thrower or dynamite or grenade or any one of maybe 10 or so ranged powers that would better fit the character concept.


How about being able to give NPCs pool powers? You do it for regular NPCs, Nemesis gets Vengeance, Tsoo get teleport etc. We would like to be able to do the same.

Oh, and what the hell are reflections powers and how do they affect the NPC and player respectively?

Thanks for listening.

Thx again Fulmens, you helped me immensely. Now I can finally turn the lights on in my base!

I would love to get 100m matched blue side on Virtue if possible, my base is sorely in need of it. I wish I could just get my 3/4 billion inf from red side Freedom transferred to blue side Virtue somehow too. :/

Well, I don't lag in Grandville or Arachnos or Mu maps. However, I do crash on occasion when accessing the Black Market or Wentworth's. My CoX usage is over 1.7gb when this happens and it's the attempts to sort all the data when the market opens.

This also happens after about an hour of base editing. No matter what, I cannot clear what I have done in the base, even if I exit the editor and the base. I can watch the memory just continue and continue to climb till the game crashes or I restart the client.

/reloadgfx is great for clearing initial zone-in lag if I enter a new zone and find I have a little lag such as Cimerora or something, clears it right up but doesn't free up any actual system RAM.

**My solution to the Market Crash (pun intended) is to have the system not perform any type of search automatically when it opens but wait till the first item in the left column is selected before performing any type of search.

Ok, so here is a vault I built for a SG on Freedom.





Trying to get the vault door at that angle was hard, had to play with wall torches and cubicles for like an hour.

I would like to amend my choices and add the Disco ball and colored ceiling beam lights from Pocket D.

I'm just sayin'.

Just as a side note, to folks who don't like thick walls, I have created 1/2 or less thickness walls using back to back wall cabinets via the cubicle method. This cabinet method allows for a variety of wall textures, steel, concrete, rustic and wood. You can also make very thin walls in light and dark wood grain from merging facing tall light bookshelves or short dark bookcases. Both are more tedious and costly than desks but give a much better effect.

He may be referring to the prices you can buy them at at the invention tables. Those are universally set across the board (and very expensive) to the best of my knowledge. So there is no alternate or better price. I only recommend buying there if there are none for sale at WW or the BM and you are desperate.

That said, as long as you are getting them for less from another player at the WW or BM, then you're getting a deal.

As a previous poster said, though, the WW/BM prices are player set. You either outbid the others or leave your lower bid up a few days and see if anyone bites.

People being stuck inside the AE holo-field area should be on the known issues list too. Only way to get out is to type/stuck as you cannot even be recalled out.

Each proc is specific the the attack its attached to.
