It's okay when Diabolique does it, though?

City of Heroes User Agreement

Section 2, paragraph 1:
The Web Site (note the capitalization) is part of the Service (capitalized again), which is what we pay for.

Section 2, paragraph 3:
Which shows that the Message Board (once again capitalized) is part of the Web Site, which in turn is part of the Service. And if you want to get technical, that means we PAY for access to the forums (Section 4(d)).

I'd expect that it wouldn't continue to log me out, though I don't suppose that's technically required for NCsoft to stay true to their word. It does affect access, though, which is convenient enough for this argument since I'm paying for access and not getting it reliably. It's not to the severity where I don't get something at all that I pay for, which is why I'm only bumping a thread rather than climbing the ladder through the tiers of customer support.


Giving you the benefit of the doubt, I checked the Announcements section of the boards, but found no reference to this forum bug. Are you by chance thinking of something some redname may have said in passing? That's not the same as NCsoft formally acknowledging the issue.

I guess it helps to know what you're talking about, huh? *rolleyes*

As part of the service, NCsoft is expected to keep the forums functioning properly. They haven't done so, and haven't made any formal comments on the issue, which says to me that they're ignoring it for whatever reason; hoping we'll deal with it until such a time that they get around to fixing it.

It's a problem, and one that I partake in. And I will continue to pester and be obnoxious until I am certain that it's their problem too.

A bit quick on the draw are we? It's a shame you know nothing, for you are quite missing the mark.

Sweet, more glory for me. I even do my own music!

How many orphans and natural disaster victims can you feed with this kind of cash? Pathetic waste of revenue.

There wasn't any thought until it was brought up! That's the beauty of feedback: you get all sorts of new ideas that way.

I'll definitely be looking into this, but of course I can't make any promises at this time.


None of the Windows API functions (at least the ones I'm using) trigger fatal errors. GetDC() in particular will return NULL if the value of its parameter is NULL, so if it's crashing there, you can point your finger squarely at WINE.

Making this work under Linux isn't a big priority (and don't get me wrong: I looove Linux), if only because of the concept of jumping through hoops to get the program to work on something that's only pretending to be the supported platform.


I acknowledge your post. I don't have anything to say about it and have no reason to respond to it. But I see that you posted it. (-:


Only the game servers know which plaques you've clicked, I'm afraid. There's nothing I can do about it.

Smoke Flash on a Tanker would be really funny. "Okay, guys. I've got 'em herded. *PBAoE Placate*"

Of course, this was prior to the decision to make a Praetoria invasion, but I like the way they generalized it to just being a threat from alternate dimensions. (-:

At least now we know the Coming Storm originated in THIS dimension.

It's a niche, to be honest. These are some of the bigger reasons people use City Info Tracker:

• They can keep a log of all their characters for themselves and others to see.
• They can keep track of their badges and compare with other badge-collecting users (the site features "leaderboards" and the like).
• They can display to the forums about their online status via dynamic singature and avatar images.

Titan Sentinel specifically also allows players to document their character builds in a quick and easy way, which turns out to be WAY more well-received than I'd expected.


Maybe it's not for you, and that's fine. I'm not too big into tracking myself, to be honest, but I do like seeing how many badges I have compared to other players (I like badges).

At the end of the day, what matters most is if you have fun. There's been a lot of focus on Paragon Wiki and Mids' Hero Designer, but tracking kinda took a back seat for a few years. This is a way to help the tracking scene have more fun.

Don't grow discouraged, though! This isn't all there is, not by a long shot. Titan Network has some other projects in the works that will hopefully strike gold in other niches when they're ready, just like this one has.

I suspect they'll use it to buy me a really crappy microphone. (-:

Titan Sentinel uses a lot of Windows-specific system calls, so I'm not surprised that it may not work on... well, not-Windows. Even if GetDC() did the trick, I'd honestly be surprised if ReadProcessMemory() works.


This is CIT's fault. When character updates are sent, there are no fields for updating power pool selections. When CIT's upgrades are put in place, however, it will definitely be supported.


Character information is known by the client at all times. That's how it knows what to show when you open the Enhancements screen. Working backwards from there eventually got the information extracted by the tracker.

The tracker defaults to Hero titles if it doesn't know your Alignment, even if it picks up the badges from the chat tabs. It always uses male titles. This is kinda funny sometimes, 'cause if it says "You earned the Ironwoman badge!" in the chat tabs, it might say "Adamant" in the tracker.

It's actually a perk that we can do this, and it's a benefit of using the Build Manifest file. In addition to resolving exact badges from the names or personal info window, this allows side-switchers to track badges on CIT's current iteration by always sending hero badge titles for hero archetypes and vice-versa for villains. CIT's being fixed in this regard, but until then, this is a lifesaver.

Alignment is first checked 30 seconds after you zone in, so if you wait for then you should get the right badge titles to show.


Exxar kinda touched on this, but yeah, Sentinel's way smaller, faster and more memory efficient than Glycerine was. It uses, quite literally, orders of magnitude less memory to run.


Among other things like minimizing to the system tray instead of the taskbar, this is one of the features on the list for version 1.0.
