Where this is most useful is for drafting guides and long posts, especially with a wonky wireless connection. It would be very nice if it was WYSIWYG, but that would take a huge amount of time, and I am very thankful to have a nice little tool to make part of posting easier. Thanks very much.

I have just decided to halt all feature improvements on CoH FOE, and only apply bug fixes. Why? Because I have no idea when we'll finally get the new forums.

So, instead of new features for FOE, I will be working on making sure it's rock solid, and at the same time....



....I'll be working on a WYSIWYG editor for the NEW forums!

I don't use Vista, I use XP, and I'm using Visual Basic 5. I have no idea how I would implement this.

Depends on if I can get my tanker up to the right level in time. If I can get him from level 27 to 50 in two weeks then, sure, I'll be with you.

Pretty cool video; I had never seen that before today. Interesting that they'd thought about doing Shapeshifting as a power at one time.

Also I saw some unfamiliar villainous factions listed:

Seraphim
Twilight Men
Fear Factor
Revalation
The Killing Crew

Pretty neat!

Hm..... intersting villain groups, might be a good thing to try to make in the MA...

Am I doing something wrong?

Yes. You're not looking at the in-game numbers that are provided to you before you pick the powers that you're unhappy with.

I always read that phrase as being "One who gives TO Indians... because they always take it back". Of course, I started reading the phrase that way after I learned more about American history.

...farming that is.

It's simple. Farming is producing crops for harvest. Before the Mission Architect, players couldn't produce ANYTHING in the game. Thus, farming did not exist.











So, what were they doing? Ranching. They were herding pre-existing cattle into fenced in areas for eventual slaughter. That's right, all they were doing was ranching.

Farming did not exist before the Mission Architect. Now, by the implementation of the Mission Architect system where you can make your own enemy groups, farming now exits.

The developers, with Issue 14, finally created farming. For realz.

That's sigworthy. I tried... and tried... and tried... and tried some more to make it fit into a sig. I sacrified my global, forum handle, PERC title, and MA advertisement, shortened "Mission Architect" to MA, "Issue 14" to "I14", chopped out the little sentences in the middle that were redundant... and it still wouldn't fit.

Finally I found a way, and my MA and global got to stay

Edit: I absolutely had to have this in my sig.

How about this, the short, SHORT version:

"Pre-MA:Ranching, Post-MA:Farming"

Eh?

Since when are all random websites on the Internet authoritative? "newzyouwant"? Seriously? Doesn't the z in there automatically mean that site is illegal anyway??

Issue 16: Pot Meet Kettle

Funny, I play on Protector, who ties with one other for the lowest population server.... and I never have a problem forming a team when I want one. Hmmm....

City of Heroes: Pointless Thread

Sure there are female trolls.... they are the ones with the biggest man-boobs. True story!

Turning into a troll isn't enough of a side effect????????

Also, it looks to me you handle updates by editing the first post as long as you can, then reposting as much as is needed in the same thread. If you make significant revisions, then you start a new thread with a new version, etc. Is that about right?

[/ QUOTE ]

Hit the nail on the head, that's what people usually do.

Don't worry about your "guide writing exprience" or lack thereof. Just like IN-GAME, everyone has to start sometime.

Here's a tip, try using FOE, it should make writing your guide much easier, more colorful and more entertaining! A link to the application is in my signature.

As far as how to format a guide, just take a look at a few of the guides out there to see what people usually do. I have a few in my sig that you can take a look at to get started.

I still see one page.... MAX POSTS PER PAGE FTW!!!!

Anyone using FOE might want to uninstall and re-download the version that's online right now. It's not a "new" version exactly, but I wanted to push it out ASAP. Nothing major warranting a new version number, it's just that the Underline function was moving the selection by one character, which screwed up multiple text formatting.

I'll take a look at it, thanks for the tip.

Thanks guys, I appreciate it!

Did you say T?????????????????

Okay, who necro-rezzed this and then deleted their post?

I'd love to remake it as a WYSIWYG editor, but honestly, I'm not going to do it until we find out how much "life" these forums have left. I'd hate to put in all the effort to make a WYSIWYG editor and then find out that we'll be switching over to another forum in a couple months.

Any other features that anyone would like to see in FOE that's not already there?

Kin/Fire will PWN all.

Doesn't Laz tell you to bring a team on this one? I was pretty sure he did...

shut up you! you're not allowed to talk about FF anymore

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm still allowed to talk about them, I'm just no longer allowed to act as if I am the omniscient force fields know-it-all. Now I'm just the FORUMS omniscient know-it-all!

Pre-emptive healing is force fields.

Did you look at the date? Once again, oblivious to everything else around you.
