Quote:Edited the L & R stuff, and pushed them into the Standard Keys with a note.Originally Posted by Master-Blade
Nice. I'd probably fix/clarify the L and R modifiers as well, but I'm always afraid I'm going to mess up the format of the tables when I edit stuff like that. lol
I figured the Standard Keys section was the most appropriate, as that's the most appropriate use case for the keys. They can emulate a chord key behavior, but it's not how you'd expect, so I consider that more so an oddity, and 'shift+key' should be the recommended format.
Also adjusted the description of the Chord Key section to accurately reflect that they can be used on their own, not just with other keys. -
I'd already tested it out earlier on my system and it had done nothing, but wasn't sure if maybe it worked on some obscure system. Updated the wiki to reflect that's not a valid key.

Quote:According to the article: This extended availability also does not appear to impact the support schedule for the old operating system; Windows XP support is due to expire in April 2014. So not only will the operating system be unlikely to work, it will be insecure, too.Originally Posted by je_saist
Well, that's just it. Support isn't ending. It's been extended... yet again... for the life of Windows 7.
And upgrade Firefox past 2.0.Quote:heh. Just don't use IE and that solves 95% of the malware right there.
(yes, the last IT department I dealt with didn't understand why that'd be a problem...) -
So... we'll be able to buy XP, after support for XP has ended?

Quote:Most laptop keyboards have the FN key operate entirely in-hardware, so it would be impossible for the OS to see if it's pressed or not (black magic might make it possible, but impractical).Originally Posted by Master-Blade
According to the wiki, the FN key on laptops can also be used as another modifier. I've never tried it though, so I don't know how well that works when you consider the overlapping numpad on laptop keyboards. That could get messy.
Theoretically, there could be some keyboards that pass it along, but I've never heard of a keycode that Windows would send when it's pressed... so I'm not sure that it could actually work with the game. -
Quote:If it's the same number, then that's likely the case (I thought you were supposed to get a new number when you got a new card issued?).Originally Posted by sploitz_fg
I actually started to suspect it might be because it has been used before, but with an old expiration date. (my first debit card expired in 2009, this one is good until 2012)

Quote:That should be fine then (NC doesn't accept credit cards from a lot of far eastern countries and other places, due to credit card fraud).Originally Posted by sploitz_fg
United States.
Based on the message, it sounds like the credit card you're using has been used with NC before... has it? It's not stolen, right? (okay, that last one is a pretty huge stretch, just thought I'd throw it out there anyways
)
I think your best bet is to contact NC directly and try to see what the issue is (or try a different card). -
Quote:Comcast is like that. If they're having a problem and know it, they will not tell customers when they call up. Back when I was a Comcast customer, I'd have to call up about once a week due to various issues, and several times after going through the usual crap (reset the router, wait 45 seconds or 45 minutes when they felt nasty, dance around in the yard, etc) right before hanging up they'd say "It'll be back up in X minutes"... and then it was up right at that time... meaning the entire time they knew it was a planned outage! A few of the people even admitted so much when I got especially annoyed with multiple calls in a week.Originally Posted by JJDrakken
IT all works now, I got a call from Comcast, apparently my ISP was some wierd technical crap terms, but basically was gummed up in their network, they finally fixed it.
Comcast hates you. -

There's way too much stuff to list out fully... so I'll leave the extra details to some poor chump to do for me
Yep, and it won't be changing. There's going to be the incarnate system, but details on that are thin (it's going to be released after Going Rogue's initial release, but still be part of it).Quote:Is the level cap still 50?
Both, of course!Quote:Is there any reason to play my 50's or should I just level new toons? There's a fair amount to do on 50s, and this game is all about alting as well! The End Game System (possibly temporarily pushed back) is going to be coming with GR, which'll give 50s more to do.
Incredibly insanely popular. It's by no means required, but it can help make builds people otherwise wouldn't be able to stomach fairly fun and enjoyable.Quote:How has the crafting system panned out?
Lots of fun stuff in there (lots of throw away stuff also, but the HoF/Dev's Choice is all solid). And yep, anyone can access anyone else's published missions.Quote:How is the instance architect system? Can I access missions other people have made?
Edit: That's what I get for writing stuff! SCREW YOU PEOPLE!

A few things (some already said, but they bare repeating)
- Reset your router
- Revert your router to firmware defaults
- Replace your router
- Run a traceroute to a few different sites cause you trouble and see if you can notice anything in common.
Just so you know, the router/cable modems Comcast provides are horrible quality. And to make matters even worse... if your cable modem is replaced by them, they're sent back to the distribution center to be repackaged and sent back out, with only the minimalist possible checking done. Whatever one you've been given has likely been sent back multiple times, even if it was in packaging when it was first installed.
Edit: WTF? Using USB? If at all possible use freaking Ethernet! USB is NOT INTENDED FOR THAT! -
I'd have figured reinstalling would catch this if this was the problem... but you could try deleting Coh.checksum from the installation directory, then re-run the updater and verify, to force it to get a new copy of the checksums and verify the files with that.
Also, if you have any mods installed in the data directory (which doesn't exist by default), remove those. -
Quote:Not true, I just tested out the following binds and they ALL worked:Originally Posted by Aggelakis
You can only bind chord keys with other keys. Chord keys are *ONLY* CTRL, ALT, and SHIFT.
/bind shift l moo
/bind ctrl l moo
/bind alt l moo
(then unbound them all)
/bind lshift l 1
/bind lalt l 2
/bind lctrl l 3
Every one of them worked as expected.
If you use both shift and lshift, the second one will overwrite the first one. If you bind shift to 'hi' and then lshift to 'bye', pressing the left shift key will say 'bye', and pressing the right shift key will say 'hi'. If you bind lshift then shift, both keys will do what shift was bound to.
Edit: Damn it! And I went through all that trouble to prove Aggelakis wrong and it turns out I misread the OP and their post! ... Off to Ouroboros to erase the OP from being ever born! -
It's perfectly possible.
/bind CTRL+1 "powexecname Projectile Vomit"
/bind ALT+4 "powexecname Self Destruction"
Edit: Removed another mistake... not my day! -
Even with a CoX 2, I don't see them completely abandoning the current AT system- it's just been shown to work too well.
One thing I could see them doing, is taking the current system as a basis, and expanding upon all the existing sets. I'd say that the branching they've done with the SoAs would play a larger role, along with the mutually exclusive powers. That'd leave all the current powersets valid, but only one possible branching in CoX 2. A ported character would maintain the same build, but upon a respec, they'd have more options and more paths available to them (or maybe a higher level cap).
But at the same time, I really believe all these ideas could be easily (as compared to making and balancing an entirely new game) adopted to the existing system... which the Devs have shown they are doing. The Devs are making CoX 2... and we're all already playing it. -

Is this ATI-specific or does this happen with nVidia cards too?

If you enable the option Disable desktop composition or Disable visual themes (in the properties for cityofheroes.exe), does that make any impact on the issue? It might be related to the DWM.

Quote:You need to include the full command. The -project coh at the end is important, as it tells cityofheroes.exe which game to run (without it, it'll give that error).Originally Posted by LibertyDarling
Tried it and I keep getting
'You can't run this program directly, please run CohUpdater instead.' -
A lot of people don't consider 5k worth the effort, and even 50k isn't worth much of the effort (I, personally, just drop them at WW/BM for 1 inf, to get the badges and I'd never use them anyways).

You could try FRAPs, it has a screenshot mode (don't recall how it operates in the free version). It's possible it's related to a driver issue, so upgrading your video card's driver might help.

Quote:Many machines were still being sold with XP back when I was looking last December (including pretty much all netbooks, especially the ones reasonably priced for their hardware stats). And I don't mean at some obscure techie website, but at stores like BestBuy!Originally Posted by NobleFox
Yes, it's dead. There's no polite way to say it: anyone who has components made in the last 3 years and is still using XP is either ignorant of what's going on or stubborn to the point of ignoring what's going on aorund them.
Most gamers didn't want to touch Vista with a 10-foot pole, and there's very little reason for them to dish out over a hundred for a Windows 7 upgrade (which, FYI, is easier to pirate than XP). A massive percentage of desktop systems still run XP (I'd imagine that if you factored in non-gaming systems, the number would be far higher, since Steam's results would be biased towards early adopters and people with newer systems), and it's their damn choice. Windows Vista and 7 have new features, but most people don't give a damn about them- they're using computers for the applications, not the OS, and most anyone would want to use support XP since that's what most people use. -
If you turn on /showfps 5 in game, what sort of FPS does it say you're getting?
(the 5 will make it average over a 5 second period, you can use a different number, with 0 turning it off) -
Quote:Actually, the game just emailed me, and said it actually would prefer you didn't resub... something about furries and 'mature RP'...Originally Posted by Chrysame
I was joking about the game not wanting me to re-sub.

The checksum is approximately 10.6 kilotbytes in size, but it has to scan the whole ~3.1 gig installation (only takes a few minutes on my laptop if something else isn't murdering the disk).
If this is a completely new installation, it should just be one download of ~3 gigs... but when updating from a fairly out of date version, I think I've seen it do multiple patches before... but you're likely at the end of the updating. -
Quote:If you're having problems with the UPDATER, that's an issue with an uplink ISP, and doesn't appear to be related to NC.Originally Posted by Chrysame
I'm having the same problem. I don't play that often anymore and my sub runs out this week. Tonight I was going to play and make my decision about paying for another month.
You can bypass the updater by running one of the following commands (assuming default installation location:
32bit Windows: "C:\Program Files\City of Heroes\cityofheroes.exe" -project coh
64bit Windows: "C:\Program Files (x86)\City of Heroes\cityofheroes.exe" -project coh
OS X: /Applications/City\ of\ Heroes.app/Contents/MacOS/cider --use-dos-cwd c:/coh -- c:/coh/cityofheroes.exe -project coh
