thanks!

And a much cleaner vid than the one on youtube.

Wowzer!
That list in the top post is impressive!

Now, I may have just missed it,

and maybe for reasons that escape me,

I didn't see

The CoH Bomp Bomp vid.

It is, after all, one of the classics, no?

Okay, I think you need to re-think "stacking".

Some items have innate "stacking" ability built into them; desks, cabinets & flooring are such. You can actually stack things on top of them without any trickery.

Other items have had stacking ability magically/accidentally assigned to them when raid pathing was tossed out the window. The safe, accent lamps and even some wall items (you can stack out from a wall) fall under this category.

The large cracked blocks do not fall under either category. Neither do bookshelves, file cabinets or any of a gazillion other items that you've seen "stacked"

What we've done with these items is actually floated one item under (or on top) of another by using the various methods described in the stacking thread.

What you really want to do is float one block over/under another.

For a tactical guide to base raiding, you may want to take a look at Warface's guide.

He wrote it in the old forums, and I don't think he's cleaned it up for the new formats here.... but there's still some really good info. He has all kinds of nifty strategy advice.

Oh for Pete's sake, the game does not revolve around the market.
Besides, it would only create a temporary flux, the same as 2x xp.

2x merits; absolutely!

Well, according to post #5 in the stickied thread above:

The dance club isn't completely finished, but here are a couple features.

Oooooo! look what I found!

One of the things mentioned is to check the key you've decided to use. If a key is "double bound" (check keymapping in options), it can't be overwritten, you'll need to clear it first. Also, apparently there are some keys that just won't be overwritten.

To clear a key of all binds: /bind key "nop" (in game). BUT, I believe this will clear the key for all your characters. So you may want to try incorporating it into your keybind documents. That way, the key is only cleared when you use your special keybind, but left in default for your other characters.

Try using it as the first line in your first keybind document. Then your keybind command string becomes your second line in the document to set things on the right path.... Alternatively, you can use the "nop" command in it's own document as the beginning of your document series, just remember to include the bindloadfile to point to the next document:

So it might look like:

clearRkey.txt
R "nop$$bindloadfile C:\CoHKB\bash1.txt"

Then, you would enter /bindloadfile C:\CoHKB\clearRkey.txt in game.
Since the "clear key" document points to bash1, it should start the rotation. Since the last document in your series points back to bash1, the rotation will continue without constantly re-clearing the key.

Oh, and he mentions that the character limit is 255.

oh Oh OH!....

I just put that command string into Word and did a word/character count....

There are 118 characters, including spaces, in the string. It might be too many. Someone correct me if I have the character limit off, but I think it's 100.

EDIT: Scratch that... just checked the limit against some of my other binds... looks to be a bit higher. I can't find the reference to what the actual limit is though... 250?

Also, the name thing... yah, I've done the double suffix before.

Are you looking for functionality ideas or decorative ideas?

For functionality, I find that even the low level empowerment station is handy. I like being able to stop by the base between mishes in a tf and whip up a little extra stealth or defense (temp powers last an hour, not the 15 min. stated in their text).

Do the 2 tp'rs work for ya? Maybe expand on that a bit. It's nice not to have to be constantly switching out beacons just to travel where you want when you're in a hurry. Even though I have the mish porter power, Oro portal, and Pocket D, I've found my expanded tp room to be a blessing in certain situations.

I'm a little confused by what you mean by "inventions table", is it one of the base crafting tables? Some folks tend to pull those out on an "as needed" basis, then just delete them when done. They tend to tax the power/control a bit.

For decorative, well, there are a ton of ideas throughout this forum. Some popular rooms include library/study, bar, apartment, park, pool room, secret rooms...etc.,.

Reducing base (and other) badge requirements have been on the loooonng list of longing for a loooooooooonnng time. Sure, there are many other items on the list we'd all love to see accomplished. Dunno 'bout you all, but I always start long lists with the easy stuff first.

I am happy the devs were finally able to squeeze in a little time on them.

I find it interesting that these are the badges that will affect Raids the most... forshadowing?

P-wiki has a very good in-depth article regarding IO's. You may also want to follow some of the links within the article to get a full idea of how it all works. There is also this handy page of charts that shows set IO's & their bonuses. I often refer to this page when trying to plug holes in a build.
