Actually, some 3rd party macro programs will handle that type of thing... I use a Belkin Nostromo N52 game pad for most of my controls and it will set up complex macros with built in delays. I hadn't thought of that application but it should work, just create a macro in the controller's software to do one thing, then a delay of x seconds and do another.

I've used it to set up a "re-toggle" macro for my defenders, it activates all of my toggles with one key. To do this, first I bind the various powers to keys, for example, bind a "powexec_toggle_on assault" and bind t "powexec_toggle_on tactics". Then, in the controller's software I make a macro that first hits "a", then hits "t". Bingo, when I hit that key on the controller it turns on Assault then Tactics. You can set it up with a time delay between the two actions as well.

So, while the game itself won't let you do things like that some game controllers have macro software that will.

By using such software you're essentially violating the EULA, you do know that, right?
section 7 states:

Just so you know.

No it is possible to put in an actual timer. You can however execute one power and then queue another in the same bind. E.g:

/bind X "powexecname unstoppable$$powqueuename demonic aura"

Anything else would most likely constitute automated software, also known as a "bot". Which is illegal according to the EULA.

I just noticed that you wanted to run the second power 160 seconds later, I first read it as 10 sec.

In which case the bind above would probably be even less useful

In any event, what you're asking is impossible to automate.

I am sure the quide as such is great, however I just don't buy that it is necessary to cut so many ATs out.

I know the OP says Pick-Up Groups, but seriously, if the player knows what he is doing then all AT are able to contribute more or less equally. On the other hand you can just as easily get inept corrupter players, who wouldn't contribute half as much as a well-played dom.

This is nothing more than elitist, mis-guided even, of the worst kind.

Yeah, that's pretty much it. Positron is knee deep in I13 work at the moment (fleshing out exactly what is going to be in it, and such) while the rest of us work on finishing up I 12.

Only knee deep? Then he's not working hard enough.

Lighthouse, can you pass along to the programmers the need for a button in the in-game email interface that:
* Deletes the spam email.
* Activates the /ignore_spammer on the sender
* Starts the /petition against the spammer for the user.

The reason is that the typeface (in this case mont_demibold.TTF) used by the game has a [u]known problem[u] of allowing people to tell the difference between "l", "I" will naturally produce false positives that the spammers will use (and have been using) to protect themselves.

[/ QUOTE ]

Aye, that is quite necessary. Good point.

Hey guys, what's going on in this thread?

Trust me! You do NOT want to know...

[ QUOTE ]

Anything can be made Flashback, but the "completed" star checks for A) Souvenir clue or B) the Badge. If we did missions that were not Story Arcs and not Badged, then they would never show complete.

That said, I have no problem doing this if you guys don't. Just let me know what missions you want on Ouroboros and I will do my best to get them there.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, the Safeguard/Mayhem missions for one. I am not one for group much with my main. I am so used to soloing with him, that I don't function well in groups with that toon. He was around lvl 40 when Safeguard missions hit, so I miss the badges from the majority of them.

Those are my main wish for more Ouroboros content.

That was awesome Envy. Not quite in the same style as Jock, but that matters little. It was still great.

And an awesome way of introducing kheldians into the mythology.

I'm just doing my best to find a grandparent to watch the kids for a few extra hours so I can get some play time in. Normally the wife and I can only play after they go to bed at 8:00ish.

[/ QUOTE ]

Heh, my son has his own account, so I figure I can put a good amount of time in, while the wife is at work. I got a lvl 49 on my account and a 48 on my wife's account that I aim to get to 50.

(Our first 50s too).

Hmm.. I think I should SK my son's toon, get him some power leveling.

Thanks to the Dev Digest, I stumbled across this thread by accident. I gotta say, this is awesome work Jock.

And that Stalker piece was pure gold, Kid. At least from my viewpoint, as my favorite villain AT is pictured as the wise one.

If I had an inkling of your talent for this stuff, I would contribute with stories of Scrapper and Mastermind, as these are by far my favorite archetypes.

I am really looking forward to more tales.

As a FYI, this also works in the following situations...

Moving from Vista --> XP

*With this it tends to bring up the UAC menu everytime you start it up, since it's technically not a 'registered' application.

[/ QUOTE ]

About that. I have recently upgraded to Vista, and although I am not completely thrilled about this new-fangled thing from Microsoft, and most certainly not the UAC. Would it be adviceable to actually install the game using the orignal CDs and then download the entire game from scratch?

I am on a 4Mb connection, so it wouldn't take more than a couple of hours tops.

The question is: Would I gain anything from it?

Edit: Spelling mistake.

Welcome back, Alex! Hope you had a nice break

You still have to account for those small supergroups which primarily consists or two or three RL friends with a huge amount of alts.

SG missions should be just like any other mission in that regard that you do not need a set amount of people to do them.
