Wont demote SG leader

Trying to keep my SG leader offline for 15 days to demote him, it keeps logging him in when the 15 days are up, ie it resets time not logged in to zero days.

Had powers registering as Self-destruct -do not have this power

Creating a new character puts all channels in tabs into one, ie the TAB 1 2 3 4 windows all ended up in Help

Are you saying that, at the end of 15 days, the time since logged in count is being reset each time, even when no on logs into that character?

What do you mean 'powers registering as Self Destruct'?

When you create a new character, it loads the default chat tabs. You can save a layout as the default anytime with a slash command that I can't recall atm, or via the options window somewhere (IIRC it's in there).

/wdwsave and /wdwload will save/load the UI layout and placement from the default (wdw.txt).

/chatsave and /chatload will save and load chat settings (channel-tab placement) from the default (chat.txt)

Edit: corrected slash commands. Thanks, Ironblade!




Thank you, Champion.

I haven't tested, but I don't think it will work with the spaces. Definitely ParagonWiki lists it as chatsave and chatload. That's how I do it and it works.

He likely meant /wdw_save, /wdw_load, /chat_save, /chat_load.

You can put underscores wherever you want in slashcommands, they're only for stylistic purposes and are ignored for the command itself. I'd imagine you (Ironblade) know that, though

Ah, you're right. I have no idea why I put spaces in there. Whenever I enter those commands, I do so without a space (or an underscore).




Thank you, Champion.

Yes, delibrately not logging on with character, but it resets his time to zero days every 15 days (which is what I set SG demote as) hence he does not get demoted. I'll respec, pull enhancements and delete him, hopefully I wont end up with a ghost SG leader...

Buff bar below hp bar had buffs showing up as Self-destruct rather than Shields etc. Only a one off and I know it is similar to another bug, had not heard of it showing as self-destruct though.

something i don t understand, is the leader a toon of yours? or a friend? If not why do you think he doesn t come back to not lose the lead every 15 days? if yes... why don t you transfer the lead to another toon?

If he only has one account - and it's a solo SG - he can't transfer leadership since both characters have to be logged in at the same time to promote

I've never seen the demotion feature work. I have a few officers that have well exceeded their drop time and they are still in the ranks. I don't want to kick them because they are important in the history of the group, but I want them to demote down the ranks. I wish they would actually get that feature to work.

It used to work, back a long time ago. I think that was before they increased the super group size limit. Maybe they broke it when they did that.

the auto-demotion is only for the leader no?

well if it s a one player sg, is it a no friend player sg too?

Hmm..what you could do is (Step 1) have your leader toon invite someone you trust to the SG,

(Step 2) Promote your chosen one up the ranks until you get the message that you cannot
promote anymore without demoting yourself.

(Step 3) Promote anyway. This will strip the red star from your leader.

(Step 4) Get the new leader to promote whichever of your toons you want to be Red Star Leader.

Good luck

Lisa.

It works fine. It is by design that the auto-demote feature ONLY affects the super-leader. This is so that one person leaving the game won't leave the supergroup high and dry with no way to change settings. If the singular super-leader vanishes, someone else gets the red star. All other ranks are immune to auto-demotion.

It still works for me. I saw an auto-demotion in the past month.

This is what I understood it to be and have actually observed happening to me once. I was offline long enough to pass the 45dy limit I'd set and had to ask the 2nd in line to push me back into place. Now I keep tabs more carefully and if I get more than a week or two I'll hop onto said toons now even if I'm focusing on others.

correct

One the period has passed whoever next logs in to the game in the SG will be promoted to SGLeader and if that is not the current SG Leader then the current one will be demoted to the next rank down. If the next person to log in is the previous SG Leader then they will keep their SG Leader rank
