Isn't Sin_Drone the guy from the Incredibles? Sure sounds like it so it's not really your name is it?

What a lousy time slot. I'll be leaving for work at the time this party starts and the play will just be starting when the party ends.

On the pluse side I love my job and the play is "Best Little [censored] House in Texas" so I'll probly have more fun at work anyway.

Is anyone having trouble publishing thier comic

I keep gettting "Publishing requires PDf and Ghostwriter to be installed. Please run hypercomics setup to use these programs"

I know I'm just dumb and over looking something.

I've heard there are unofficial emotes (like the waving, sitting, dancing, ect.). Could they be accessed and how?

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm not sure what you mean by "unofficial" but this wonderful list from Mantid should be everything you need.

[/ QUOTE ] I couldn't help but notice the "Cell Phone" Emote from I9 I wander if that'll be riged to your contacts like Newspaper and Police Ban Scanner. You know like for whenever you call your contacts not when you're standing right in front of them.

[ QUOTE ]
Thats what i was saying...one of the major heroes (like war witch).

[/ QUOTE ] Maybe I missunderstood you or something, I thought you were saying War Witch was some kind of fan character who won a contest. :P

[ QUOTE ]
It would be really really neat if one reward was to have our featured character turned into one of the "major" heroes (like war witch). Maybe with a short show up in one of the official comics....and maybe even an NPC in game!

[/ QUOTE ] You do realize War Witch has ALLWAYS been one of the "major" heroes don't you? She's not a player's character she's actully one of the devolpers. She was in every single comic untill Top Cow took over and she has 3 NPCs in the game. (Croatoa, Pocket D, and mission to fight here but don't quote me on that one I've never seen that mission myself just a rumor I heard.)

I'm still waiting to see Apex, Hourse (spelling?), and the guy from the promo comic who appeared ONLY in that comic with Apex and War Witch. Can't remember his name but he was replaced with Hourse in the other comics.

Oh and seeing as how this is a "comic book" contest the wining comic should be published as part of the offical comics "in the back section" and their character that recives the title in game should allso appear in the main comic with Statesman and the rest. (the character they ask you to send a picture of but that doesn't actully have to be in your comic.)

In my case, IF I won (and that's a HUGE IF) my Admiral Shark comic would appear in the back of the offical comic book. Lord Imperial my level 50 DDD who doesn't actully appear in the comic I made would be drawn into the offical comic with Statesman and the others.

That's actully a good fit too sense it seems like Manticore is the main character (he's allways the one narrating) and Lord Imperial (who is me), looks up to him as a fellow non-healing Defender. I like Positron too but with the whole raditation "I can kill you if you get too close" thing going on I think Manticore is more likely to ack as a mentore for me.

And let me guess the full version would actully cost money? I'm not going to pay for the full version. Yeah sure I had fun with this comic but I'm more intrested in making movies (which I still havn't done yet) and so I'll be unistalling the comic creator program as soon as the contest has ended.

I have my little comic half way done now, and i want to put it up on photobucket to show my friends. However, i don't know how to change the file type. Apparently you have to click "publish" in the file menu to convert the file type, but that button is greyed out for me. When i click "publish to hypercomics" it gives me an error dialogue saying that "Publishing to Hypercomis requires PDF Writer and Ghostscript to be installed. Please run hypercomics set up to install these programs."

Before i do this, i want to know:

1.) if these programs are 'safe'
2.) will this allow me to convert the files/pages of the comic to jpeg and other image formats?

Thanks
_D

P.S.: I cannot print, either. That button is greyed out and when i use the shortcut (ctrl+p) nothing happens. My printer doesn't even flinch. Is this related to the above problem?

[/ QUOTE ] The Publish and print buttons are greyed out for me too.

I don't have the plug-ins so I can't view my own comic on the web page, it's kinda funny. Anyone elce have that problem?

Anyway here's the link where I think the comic is posted could someone just conferm for me that the comic is viewable before I send it off to the contest entry. http://www.hypercomics.com/comicbook...ral_shark_2944

Note: I don't actully think I'll win with that but it was fun to make despite the debt I got myself in and I never even tried to enter one of these contests before so I thought I might get lucky.

[/ QUOTE ]

It works, however, I can't see the whole pages, there are parts of it that are cut off.

[/ QUOTE ] There should be scroll bars on the side and bottom of the thing. (at least that's how it looked when I was making it) other than that I have no idea how I'd even begine to fix that.

The cape patterns need to continue into the mantle. Some patterens like Circitry and Camo just look silly when the mantle is a solid color.

I read search comments so that's one out the window.

[/ QUOTE ] You're one of few. I read the search comments too but doesn't mean anything because the majority don't. Flys back in window

[ QUOTE ]
Most people, and by most I mean like 90% or more, do not set their flags for the search window simply because they forget or don't know about it. People set to "not seeking" are often very interested in joining a team, that's another gone.

[/ QUOTE ] You apperently missed the whole point. What you said there was the verry thing I was complaining about. That's another not gone.

[ QUOTE ]
The thing about the request channel really only applies in the hive during a raid...at all other times the request channel is used pretty much as intended or as a way to advertise SGs. Huzzah there goes another one.

[/ QUOTE ] Again you missed the point. I allready knew it only apply in the Hive and that was mentioned in number 3 I belive. Another has returned.

Bascially there are TONS of wierd/stupid/ignorant things to list off but the ones you listed are kind of silly and aren't really the ones worth mentioning.

Besides that nothing I said had anything to do with people being weird (I like weird I am weird) stupid or ignorent. It was about people doing confusing and silly things so for that you've actully grasped the meaning of the post. They're little things that are kinda funny but no one really cares about anyway.

As I said before when you get bombarded by blind invites you type /hide and sudenly everyone thinks you're offline.

[/ QUOTE ]
Including people who I want to know I'm online, and not including random strangers who happen to see me. No, thanks.

[/ QUOTE ] The thing about /hide is you may appear to be Offline but that won't prevent you from talking to people in your friends list/SG and it's funny to hear their reactions when they get your tell and see you're offline.

Wanna team?

[censored]?

Wanna Team?

How are you talking? you're not even online!

It's called /hide try it some time

Oh... yeah I'll team.

Allso it helps when your SG is on Team Speak and you can easily tell them "I'm in game, I have hide on, send me an invite."

But hey you have your opinions I have mine and I think this "new" feature is just overcomplicating old features we allready have.

[ QUOTE ]
"Not accepting" will only be something I turn on if I get bombarded by blinds from folks I don't know... and when I set it I'll make my comment "send me a tell"

[/ QUOTE ] That option's allready there without the Not Accepting. As I said before when you get bombarded by blind invites you type /hide and sudenly everyone thinks you're offline.

8. People who have Seeking team on or request for a team will quit the team as soon as they're invited.

[/ QUOTE ]
It depends on the team, here.

Some people seem to think that "Looking for team" means "Looking for ANY team, no matter what level, and no matter what my search comment says." Those I leave in a heartbeat.

Like the time my (then) 40ish blaster got invited to what turned out to be a cape mission. Or the many times that I have been invited to PL, bridge, or farm when my search message says "No PL, no bridging, no farming."

[/ QUOTE ]

I agree. Sometimes I'll find that the team I just joined expects me to fight seas of purple minions or grey bosses. And the other day I got a tell asking for powerleveling despite saying I don't powerlevel. This was more understandable but all the more aggravating because I did a search for the guy's name and he turned out to be a lv. 1 in Outbreak!

I like the "not accepting invites" option, too. Sometimes I won't be looking for a team, but if I get a tell about the missions we'll be doing and like what I hear, I might join. It's good that there's an option for "I don't want a team" instead of simply "I'm not looking for a team" now.

[/ QUOTE ] Seems to me "I'm not looking for a team" and "I don't want a team" mean the same thing and that meaning comes down to "Leave me the hell alone, I don't wanna team"

so I refuse to use the "new" option seeing as how it's not really new at all it's just over complicating a rather simple allready exsisting option.

Besides that if "Not Seeking" isn't enough to keep people away there's allways the /hide command.

On a side note I think insted of adding this completly useless feature they could add something usefull. For example I got a 30 day free trial for Star Wars Galaxies and noticed they have a search option for "Newbie Helper" This would be nice for all the newbies in the game if they ran a search and were able to look for people who are actully willing to help them. (I wouldn't mind putting a newbie helper flag up but I'd take it off for the rest of the week as soon as someone asked me for a PL)

There have been other times when I have been sorely tempted to quit as soon as I joined. "Hey! Pick up a rack full of wakes and bring them to us!!!"

[/ QUOTE ] The times I've seen this that has not been the case. I some times see people standing around for long periods of time begging for a team then I just feel sorry for them invite them to join me and they join and quit 2 sec. later before I even get a chance to say hello. It's times like this I think if you didn't want a team why the hell are you begging for one? and this is what I was refering to with 8.

There's allso the fact that there IS a decline button so why do people join teams at all if they're just going to quit like that, that's what a decline button is for.

[ QUOTE ]
Not gonna happen, but it would solve the problem

[/ QUOTE ] That part made me laugh.

[ QUOTE ]
I'm pretty good at turning on my " Looking for Team" tab. This is the thing; try doing a search for all people lfg. You won't find but maybe one or two. The most I ever found at one time is three. Now Choose ALL and there everyone is. Read their message and some say everything from " Eat worms and die" to "I Heal, call me!". About a month ago I started randomly asking people if they checked the box. A lot of people said that they did. They showed up under their own search as looking for team. Funny though, because I don't show up on my own search for lfg. I do, however, when I do a search for specified player level. I do a search for team leaders when I dc and cannot remember how to spell their character name. Can only rarely find them anymore. Oh, they are there. But the system doesn't show them as being in a group and in mission. So to overcome this now I make it a point to put the leader on my Friends list in case of a dc so I can send a tell just as soon as I log back in. I stood in St. Martin and did a search for all players in St. Martin. The computer said there was 12. 4 were on the mission I had just been invited to. 5 were standing as a group at the Ferry. I SJ'd over a group of 4 fighting wailers just off shore from the base surrounding the ferry. And 5 more surrounding the Science Quartermaster. I did another search, thinking that perhaps more had logged in since I did a search at the Ferry. No one had. The count still said 12 in the listing. I had just seen 18 people in the time it took me to get from the Ferry to the Store. I really don't think that there are too many people who run around late at night with /hide running.

In case anyone was wondering, I was originally doing a search for a friend who was supposed to be logging in about the same time that I had joined the team. I was going to invite her while the team finished the little bit left of the mission they had left. Since I wasn't going to get a mission bonus, I just said I'd wait outside so they didn't have to hold up on my account.

[/ QUOTE ] One time when those new serch features were first added I ran a search and didn't pay attention to the names that came up in the search. After a while I relized that everyone who came up in the serch box was me and the like 3 other people who were allready on my team before I did the serch. lol

This is funny read all of it.

1. The most common REQUEST everyone makes (level $level $Archetype looking for team) is preset to the LOCAL chat channel.

2. If you make a REQUEST in the REQUEST channel people will yell at you and make you use BROADCAST.

3. The reason for 2 is so Hami raid leaders can make BROADCASTS in the REQUEST channel.

4. You can stand around for weeks with "Looking for Team" on but you'll never find a team.

5. If you forget to turn "Looking for Team" on you'll be bombarded with a million tells and invites to various teams.

6. It takes 3 different options "Not Seeking" "Not accepting Invites" and /hide to keep people from inviting you.

7. Seach Comments are a wonderfull thing but no one ever reads them. Proof of this fact is that I've gotten so many tells asking "are you a healer" my search comment evloved from "DDD" "Dark/Dark Defender" "Not a healer" and finally to "I'M NOT A HEALER STOP ASKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" and after all that the tells still keep comming.

8. People who have Seeking team on or request for a team will quit the team as soon as they're invited.

9. It's OK to invite someone who is "Not Seeking" as long as you /t them first.

10. If you're "Not Seeking" and you've declined 10 invites from the same person they will never stop sending them.

Solutions

1. Change the f9 bind so it's allready set to request so we don't have to keep resetting it.

2 and 3. Make your BROADCASTS in the BROADCAST chanel and let the other people make their REQUESTS in the REQUEST channel and you won't have to yell at them. Hell we should be yelling at the Hami raid leaders, they're the ones speaking in the wrong chat chanel. lol

4 and 5. Learn to read. If they have "Seeking Team" on that means they DO what a team. If "Not Seeking" is on that means leave them the hell alone.

6. Really now why was the "Not Accepting Invites" thing even added as a new option? It kinda makes "Not Seeking" completly useless. They should've just changed "Not Seeking" so it auto declines those pesky invites.

7. Read the damn Search Comments before asking stupid questions.

8. Turn your seek team off and stop hitting the f9 button if you're not going to join a team.

9. This is something I do in emergencys like I'm going to fail a timed mission and no one is seeking team.

10. Get a brain. If someone declines you once they're going to keep declineing so stop sending them the damn invites.

Not sure if this is a bug or intended, but the base portal in Grandeville has no easily found route up to it for those without fly, hover, superjump or teleport.

Ran around the place looking for an elevator or ramp and couldnt find one, just cables that are tricky to navigate or steel webs going to adjacent building ledges that also had no elevator I could find.

[/ QUOTE ] Given as how none of the maps are really too frindly if you have Sprint or Super Speed I don't see why anyone wouldn't have Fly, Super Jump, or Teliport.

Even on CoH there are maps where Super Speed alone is completly useless.

I like to use the combo Super Speed and Super Jump. They seem to be the fastest and lest END consuming. I can't use SS alone because of how useless it is on alot of maps and I can't use SJ alone because I just don't like to hold the space bar down all the time. :P Allthough I do use SJ alone in the lower levels while I'm killing time to grab SS.

Can't believe I forgot this! The "subliminal" message in Grandville has Lord Recluse call himself Lord Arachnos! That's an error and a half!

[/ QUOTE ] If you're refering to the speach in the main area that you hear getting off the boat he does say "I Lord Recluse" and I think there may be a part where he calls him self the lord OF arachnos. Unless there's another speech I don't know about he doesn't call himself Lord Arachnos.

If they were to add new patrons, I'm sure they will give everyone a chance to change. They never said the PPPs will always be permanent. Most likely new PPPs would mean new patrons, who probably aren't loyal to Arachnos. They probably wouldn't care if you betrayed Arachnos to join them.

[/ QUOTE ]
Actually, yes, they did say that Patrons would be permanent, you cannot respec out of them. And they also said that they would laver be adding another patron that's non-arachnos in origin.

[/ QUOTE ]
However, they never said that you wouldn't be able to ever have more than one Patron. What if, for example, you could have one of the four we know of, and then one of four other people?

[/ QUOTE ] There aren't enough power slots for that.

Besides it is said that you can only have 4 normal Pool power sets and 1 epic set. That means 1 Patron set, you'll never get another.

Again if they're going to make Patron powers perma do the same to the Heroes Epics. Heroes shouldn't be able to respec out of their powers if we can't.

I hate the Recluse voice. Any way we could get an option to turn it off? I'd turn down my background music volume, but I actually like the music (in other zones too), just not the voice.


[/ QUOTE ] You'd have to turn off your sound FX volume but that would allso mean that you wouldn't hear blinkies in missions.

I have this problem with robot Masterminds. I hate hearing the clanking sound but I put up with it just so I can hear blinkies.

That one screen shot that was posted earlier was great (and I didn't wanna be the one to say this but no-one elnce has so) but why did you have to ruin it by sticking your character's butt in there.

Sorry but you can zoom the camera in so we don't have to see your character or at least turn the camera angle around so we can see you from the front. It just looks really bad to see someone's back in the middle of what could be a really great picture.

Did I mention Granvile makes up for the crappieness of the Pre-14 zones? I hated those first few maps. They're allmost impossible to move in with Sprint. (luckily I had some practice with Sprint hating zones on my level 36 Scrapper who I so stupidly neglected to get any travel powers on)

Anyway I took this screen shot of Lord Recluse in Granvile and then stuck it on my dest top and of course made it the background of my MySpace profile.
