My standard reply to a RMT spammer is to hit backspace so that you have

/t spammer,

I then put petition and remove the trailing comma

/petitiion spammer

and continue with they're spamming as subject, hit enter and the support/petition window opens. Fill in details like time/date and website they're spamming. I file them under Harrassment. Quick and effective.

Just an update on the whole = and \ issues I mentioned above. Avernal posted over on the EU boards regarding this.

Here

Unfortunately I got the fix in just in time for daily maintenance to begin! I'll try later once maintenance is done.

<edit>

Okay the fix mentioned in the article seems to have fixed a couple of the issues. I've got Tilde and Backslash to work okay but still some issues with the brackets []'s.

Removing the Remote Receiver and fixing the keyboard did help.

As I mentioned in my post, the listings were in the Sponsored Links Section, not actually listed auctions. They may not list them in auctions but they'll list them as sponsored links. I imagine if one were to look close enough behind "masked" listings they could find characters and/or imfamy easily enough.

[edit] Just noticed Kat_From_Oz's post. `nuff said.

You calling me out Janlee???

Yeah I believe this is bad for in game. Yeah I think such things most be earned.

However a market place for that exist its called e-bay they don't need to advertise it in game.

Actually, e-bay no longer accepts those kind of sales and there are none currently up there. It is now against their terms-of-use.

Using the search term "city of heroes imfamy" I found this

Granted that was in the sponsored links section and I imagine a further search would find "masked" sales in their listings.

If City were truly zero tolerance on this matter I would think they would go after these sites and those reported via petition. Then again it may just be a legal hassle that they don't care to pursue.

I bought this one to dual box my second account and just got the 9 month vet reward on that account!

Glad I could help!! I've been tweakin on some other binds for my MM Bots/Traps today. My luck continues as I tried to use the bubble bind from earlier to equip and upgrade the bots.

I got a neat summon with one key chain working fine BUT when I try to use the bubble chain, with modifications to the powers executed <ie equip and upgrade rather than bubbles> it WON'T work!!! I copied and pasted the original bubble chain and ONLY chnaged the powers and....nothing!

Such is my luck, good thing I don't program for a living eh?

Anyways, the summoning chain works fine:

Summ1

alt+q "powexecslot 1$$bindloadfile C:\covbinds\summ2.txt"

where slot 1,2 and 3 are the drones, protectors and assault bot summon powers and of course the path will be your path not mine

Obviously change the slot #'s and file references for 3 bots and your <key> choice and you can summo all 3 levels with 1 key.

Anyways, back to finding out why buff chain won't work. If my brain doesn't implode before I succeed I'll post my findings.

Strangeness continues but I prolly should explain somethin about the FINE machine I'm running on. Evidently certain keys are just plain wacked on this machine. Tilde "~" does not work at ALL in game. When I hit backslash "\" it sends the right bracket "]" but just ingame. Here on the boards I can't use the Pageup/down or the Home/End keys, they just don't work. I have tried diff keyboards and it appears to be the machine itself.

That being said, I tried to unbind equals and =. Equals gave no error but = returned a pink message "unbind "equals" /shrugs.

Binding to equals as per yer bind returned same results, that is nothing at all happens. No error or visible effect, ie power did not activate.

When I tried to /bind = ""
I got
Usage bind takes 2 args, you gave 1
so I'm assuming there is some issue with the symbol, possibley related to my first paragraph.

As I say, it works just fine bound to ctrl+b so the issue has to be my machine's odd keyboard wonkiness.

I'm workin on a couple mastermind binds now, ie summon all pets on one key and a buffing chain for my bots. I'll post a working set once I finish it.

Bwahahahahaha!!!

We are indeed SUCH geniuses!! Thank you Black Specter! You put me on the right path and got me to thinkin! <I took 2 aspirin and the pain is beginning to subside already!>

The part about the bind being overbound was bugging me so I tried a diff KEY!! equals evidently is one of those no-no keys that ya don't wanna mess with.

I used the +gototray bit but bound it to ctrl+b and we're in business!

I give up! LoL

Just for grins I tried copying directly from your linkage, still NOTHING!

One odd thing, and this is one of those really irritating error messages I get in game now and then. After I reset the binds and loaded my bindfile, I got the "That command is restricted to two binds. Please check your configuration in the options menu" Thing is the damn error message doesn't say WHICH command it is that's "overbound".

Thingamajig: I've tried both ways, with the bind already in the bindfile AND by typing it in, ingame. That is:
/bind equals "+down$$-down$$powexecname Deflection Shield$$bindloadfile C:\covbinds\bub2.txt"

As I say, I give up, I'll just use 2 binds and assume its just my dumb Irish luck!

bub1
equals "+down$$-down$$powexecname deflection Shield$$bindloadfile C:\covbinds\bub2.txt"

bub2
equals "+down$$-down$$powexecname Insulation Shield$$bindloadfile C:\covbinds\bub1.txt"

and in my bindfile I have bub1 bound to equals.

Holding down the key still does nothing. No errors.

I saved and cleared the bindfiles, and reloaded mine. I only use Notepad for bindfiles and I might mention this is the only bind that doesn't work properly. As you can see above there are no spaces in the bindfile path. The bind files above I copy and pasted from the files directly and I do not see any errors.

I'm really stumped at this point.

If it were a simple syntax error would I not receive an error message? and yes, except for the ~path part its exactly as I typed it. From what I've read the +down$$-down does not work anymore.

I just tried that string for a bubbling bind.

Bub1.txt

equals "+down$$-down$$powexecname deflection shield$$bindloadfile C:\~path\bub2.txt"

and Bub2.txt

equals "+down$$-down$$powexecname insulation shield$$bindloadfile C:\~path\bub1.txt"

and nothing happened! no error no nothing.... suggestions?

I've had a bit of trouble with a certain bind I can't get to work but I'm unsure if it's even possible. Before I give up, I figure I may as well ask here first.

Is it possible to have a bind that switches to a certain power tray by number when the button is held down but reverts back when the button is lifted?

[/ QUOTE ]

I asked pretty much the same question just a few posts ago and from what I'm seeing its no longer possible. I'd be pleased if someone could prove me wrong though.

Hehe, we're having this same convo over in the unofficial guide to bind thread. The +down$$-down$$ bit doesn't work either, it simply activates the second <first from right> command twice.

I tried
/bind <key> "+down$$-down$$powexecname deflection shield$$powexecname insulation shield"
and even tried moving the +down -down part around, it still only activates the insulation shield twice.

Aside from the bindloadfile way I don't see any other way of this working.

So is there a way to use that bind and modify it somehow to do 2 powers? Say I want to put both bubbles on my pet, ie Insulation and Deflection shields?

....just wonderin

Okay, I tried every variation mentioned above and the ones that worked only fired off the furthest right command ie Insulation shield.

I tried

/bind alt+end "+down$$-down$$powexecname deflection shield$$powexecname insulation shield"

and it only does the Insulation shield but does it twice. Same results with toggleon. The PowExecAuto bit did work but as you say, gotta toggle off the auto attack or it keeps firing.

I read about a bind a while back that used I believe +/- keys to activate 2 powers? On keystroke one power would fire, upon release a second power could be fired? Anyone know if that is still possible and if so the bind?

Eggsillent Guide btw! It's made me quite the bindaholic!

I think what you need, if I remember correctly would be something like this:

/bind numpad1 "powexecname Speed Boost$$teamselect 1"

and just change each numpad# and teamselect #.

If you copy a character onto test and create a super group you will be given 36,020,000 prestige. More than enough to play with Then once you are confident with the base editor, start again and see what you can do with the prestige your SG has earned so far.


can we update this please, i just patched,transferred toon on test, made supergroup and tried to fool around with building a base and only had 20k prestige, not 36mill thanks,

Ceasar

[/ QUOTE ]

It has been updated, they took away the 36 million quite a while ago. There was even a reason but I don't recall what it was.

Its probably lost in the recent purge but there was a "good" reason they removed it, just can't recall what it was now.

so, I cannot simply make a /bind that looks like this?
/bind numpad1 "powerexec_name Temp Invulnerability$$powerexec_name Unyeilding$$powerexec_name Invincibility"
I am trying to make one button trigger all my toggle resists for my tanker. I know that you cannot cue powers, but will this work?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes you can, you will just have to hit the button 3 times, once for each power.

...just sayin

[/ QUOTE ]

/bind numpad1 "powexectoggleON Temp Invulnerability$$powexetoggleon Unyeilding$$powexectoggleon Invincibility"

That'll work, 3 button presses.

[/ QUOTE ]

Fixed that for ya, toggle by itself won't work

The memory leak is back as well. Que surprise.

So that was actually fixed? I never heard one way or the other and have been not so eagerly approaching 40 with my main villain because I didn't want to go anywhere NEAR Grandville. Solvang will be quite pleased if it IS fixed in Grandville.

While testing I8 on training room and since its gone live I have been having an issue with my computer auto-rebooting at least once per day <twice today actually> This ONLY happens while playin in City, other games and web surfing have not caused this problem.

When I tried to post a question at the PlayNC website regarding this issue I was unable to finish the posting because the system continuously required me to enter my email address, which I did several times. Each time I would enter my email address and re-enter the required fields which also reset after each attempt.

The amazing part is that this issue is ONLY on my brand new machine that is just over a month old. My VERY old AMD 1.05 Ghz machine with 2 gigs of RAM has NO issues. But my AMD 3200 with 2 gigs of RAM does the reboot thing at least once a day since I8 has gone live.

Assist is a toggle in your Options. Turn it on and simply hit Shift+# where # is the "position" 1-8, of the teammate you wish to assist. Once targeted, whomever your teammate attacks so will you. Your targeting reticle will not change and you will be firing "through" the teammate.

When I run a healer/defender type I target through the main tank type player, that way I can assist or heal/protect the player. Even if I lose the player target lock I just target the nearest mob to the player in need, 10 out of 10 times when I heal through the opponent it heals/buffs the one teammate needing the heal/buff.

I'm still not clear on why anyone would need to unselect a teammate if they are a healing/buffing type? Assist through the teammate for attacks and heal/buff them as needed through team select bind.

[ QUOTE ]
I got this PM from someone. And to be frank my search fu has failed me. and I can't seem to recall how to go about this.

**********

What I would like to do is have a bind that lets me toggle assist. I wanted to tie it to 1-8 on my keyboard so that is any given team mate said "attack my target", i could hit the corresponding key # and load the /assist.

As an example, I use this for speedboost on a different toon.

1 "team_select 1$$powexec_name Transfusion"

I just can't figure out how to get assist in there instead of transfusion. Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

[/ QUOTE ]

Why would one need to turn on auto assist? or off? Target your teammate and fire away, you'll auto assist if its turned on.
