Some relevant threads Including an applet that was thrown together, but I've not really played with it (yet trust the source's rep). Yes, there are several shameless plugs. 😛

Yeah, IDK the ingame coding for the character page, but I imagine that this would have to be modified in order to do what most Really want without resorting to outside apps. As for the outside apps, like you said, the file's basic format is simple enough that it shouldn't take but maybe a day's work to come up with something functional. Something simple with perhaps clickable categories (there's Only 4). IDK if I wrote something up before in the mods area or not, but I do recall at least talking about it. As for using something like excel, you could import the file using whatever the active separator is (I think it's just a comma), make your modifications, and resave it in the stripped format. The only downside is that these modern apps Love to add hidden characters, so you may Still have to clean it up. What I did one time was simply open it in the notepad (because wordpad has hidden characters!) and do my testing back then.

Yeah, I was hoping we'd end up with an applet that would read the existing file and give you various sorting methods at some point, but my coding is as ancient as the game. Ironically, it's probably the same language the game was created in, but newer applets likely use something completely different now.

Oh wow, TOs are gone? I used to throw those everywhere I could and then sell everything else (along with whatever Insp I didn't need) so that I could get DOs / SOs. Yeah, I wouldn't suggest messing with the prices as you'll make that avenue of gaining Inf that much harder (used to be my primary method early on for a toon).

I think I did some DCO for like a day or two. That Marvel MMO that died not too long after beta (?). Some Destiny (console). And a lot of Single Player stuff at that point. I really don't do MP / MMO and especially not on PC anymore. Partially because controllers are less painful to use and most of the MP games online have kinda crap people (Read: Jerks) playing them.

NOT...a Reverse Exercism (insert Aussie joke vid here)

Yeah, I'm still having fun investigating just how much of that is part of my personality or me trying to adapt to it subconsciously. >.<

They already kinda did that with the last Transformers I think. I forget which one, but they did a post credit GIJ tie-in.

Since they're already doing similar stuff, I wouldn't mind seeing a live action MASK.

Fun Fact: My Uncle and Magnum both looked alike back then, so that's probably why I watched it as much. One day he shaved his mustache and little me was NOT having it. "Who TF is this stranger?!?" 😛

I just wish companies would be so transparent.

This is the appropriate kind of foot fetish...unless you're on the receiving end. 😛

Well crap...I just tried using the share links from Gdrive and the boards don't know what to do with them. 😞 Here's the main link for the folder with just Starfield stuff. I played like a week's worth on the first character, but decided to start a new one recently with a different approach. I didn't gender swap like I normally do (when alternating characters), but I did keep the background basically the same.

I decided to upload my various screenshots / vids to my game email so that I can start share-posting (instead of eating up all my HC file limit), so I'll probably have a spam post or three soon. 😛

When you first enter a building (raiders, etc), then look for a nearby storage unit. Normally a big crate or even a safe (that you often have to crack). You'll find that you can dump everything into these, clear that building, and then take that lovely stroll to the next place. Remember, you can't die from constantly sprinting, but if you fall too far, get shot, etc, then you can. I've had a couple 0G ship takeovers now and they're a PITA because you can end up with things like turrets in a wall that prevent you from claiming the ship. I had to leave the ship and come back once or twice before it would spawn close enough to kill it. Oh and do what you can to level up flight if you like to 'acquire' ships as I've had a couple that I couldn't' fly because of the class rating. It also affects ship building...I think.

The CC would Have to be a separate entity now that I think about it as otherwise the ICON app (Titan exclusive?) wouldn't likely have been a thing I would think. Exactly, that's because just about everything we interact with is using an array / database that for the longest time had a set structure. Assuming that the original coders didn't concern themselves with looking 10 years down the road, then they likely hardcoded a lot of stuff, forcing an addition to be appended to the existing database.

That's what I figured. My VM test bench for OSes is a 2019 MBP running Monterey (because I hate the new Settings App).

The term would be "Spaghettified" when talking about the original code. IDK how much they've "DeSpaghettified" it since then, but yeah, any change of that nature would be real 'fun' from a coding standpoint. Even back on live I recall them saying it was horrible. IDK if it's people not commenting their code, optimizing properly, or what. I guess it all depends on the culture of the original team.

Hey, at least it's not running the (new at the time) system restore, eating up all your disk space. 😛

Did you go from Ventura or something older?

I imagine that this would be included in any CC overhaul for sure. As it stands though, the game is coded: Male, Female, & Huge, but it wouldn't take Too much (for one with the talent / tools) to take some of what's in one group and copy it to the other with the appropriate modifications.

Barely toying with it in VM since beta. It was slow AF inside Parallels for the longest, but I don't think that's the best platform anymore anyways. I didn't see much difference over Ventura. TBH, Apple needs to go back to the OSX way and stop pushing out so many compatibility breaking updates.
