Item Heights and stacking stairs


DMenacer

 

Posted

Hi
I know that I found two very usfal items here once before, but I've been unable to locate either of them using the site search function.

The first was Magikkats(sp sorry)Magik desk ritual.
The secoond was a chart that had the heights of all the stackable items in your base.

If someone could point be in the right direction for either of these things I would be grateful.

Additionally I am trying to float a second level for a library in my base, but I am unable to float my stairs pass 12 ft. I was hoping that someone could point me in the direction of tutorial about this as well. Or at the very least offer suggests for items that make it easier to stack stairs

Sorry I don't have a direct answer to your question.

But I will say that the library sounds like a hell of a lot of work. I wish you luck on it, but please consider that i13 is going to have a serious base overhaul. (The devs are jokingly referring to the issue as "All Your Base Are Belong to Us.") There is very credible evidence that we will be getting a z-axis control for base items, making the magic desk obsolete and allowing for similar results to be obtained in a small fraction of the time.

Personally, I'm going to wait. It's not that far out at this point.

Finally! I can taunt the low levels by placing porters out of reach!

[QR] I had the item heights page bookmarked, however, it seems to have been removed during last forum maintenance.

Hey there Rabbit!
You can find my guide in my sig. Unfortunately, the links to Greyhawk's list of heights and the other spreadsheet no longer work. I guess those threads got purged. However, if you look around in the Magic Desk thread, you may be able to glean the info you need.

I'll try to check my work computer for this tomorrow, to see if I have any of that data remaining. Didn't someone also have it compiled in a spreadsheet somewhere with other data? Maybe on a googledoc?

Tigra_Swipe was the one who was putting together a spreadsheet... but I don't know how far she got with it.

On the other hand... I DID actually PRINT out your list Greyhawke. Shall I write it up again? or do you already have it handy for re-posting?

Maybe post it in the Magic Desk thread?

I found a copy here. Thanks for offering to retype it though, Kat

Here is a link to it in googledocs

Note there are two tabs there, as I have things laid out differently on each

Below is the raw list, I will cross post in the magic desk thread for archiving purposes. Note that there were some other things in the lost thread, where people had added their own observations on a few items. Unfortunately I do not have those.

I believe they've also said that they want to test the winter event on test soon, as they need to make sure it will work properly in i12. Because it may be running under i12, due to i13 not being live by then.

Now, I know that not all desks are created equal when it comes to height, has anyone taken the time to sort them out, by chance?

I'm new to item stacking, and I can see this guide would be helpful if I knew how to put it to use... Just wondering if anyone could help me find a guide or point me in the right direction. Keep in mind I have absolutely no experience in this matter, lol, but I am very interested in learning. Help is much appreciated!

Before or after Issue 13?

Before: "How to make a Magic Desk." just below this post.

For a concise version, see the Scoop that was put out on November 10th:
http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showf...12476679#Bases

After Issue 13, you don't have to do all that, you can stack things on top of any desk it seems.

Well thats a great find for the hieghts but are all of those items stackable?
I'm asking this because I didn't see floor safes on that list.

Tech Telepads are much taller than 22 ft., otherwise they'd fit nicely in the 24 ft. Middle of a room. By my measurements, they are 30 ft. Arcane Telepads, maybe. I don't have any handy to measure.


Mains:
* Molneeya, Electric/Electric Mutant Blaster
* Doctor Magus, Illusion/Force Field Magic Controller
* Gilded Girl, Invulnerable/Super Strength Technology Tanker
* White Wasp, Martial Arts/Regeneration Science Scrapper
* Q'org, Empathy/Radiation Natural Defender

I can confirm this. I intentionally "squeeze" tech telepads between a high floor and a low ceiling. This results in the top of the telepad being cut off, creating a built-in look, physically attached to both floor and ceiling.
