  1. Might I suggest updating the name to include "Solved" and the platform (Linux?) for those using the search function.
  2. Yeah, categories will be nice. I wonder how the new launcher will work though?
  3. Assumptions: Screws, thermal paste, and other consumables are already included Room temperature is controlled (68F~76F) Monitor(s) are separate from the build Motherboard/RAM/CPU clearances are fine Compatibility has been tested (feel free to tell me something's not actually compatible >.<) Reviews were partially ignored Software not included in builds (OS, etc) Build Concepts: New, everything must be new for future proofing Intel platform (because I've not research in ages and it's easier for me to understand) Known brands are a must (it's easy to save money and cry later) Assume a gaming focus, but leave enough room for general use Include performance breathing room on core components when under load Dual HDMI displays Stick to the "No less than a Quad Core" personal motto Utilize the new M.2 tech Room to grow Stay under @GM Tahquitz's $700 mark (pre-tax) 😛 General Comments: Originally, I wanted to start with an i5 for performance, but there was no way I was going to fit one And have a new chipset in this price range. I intentionally kept the price in the lower 30% when looking, but that was skewed by the Known Brand clause. I could have gotten away with 8Gb of RAM, but TBH I think 16Gb is best for a gaming focused device. That and the price difference wasn't worth it. I decided early on to choose a motherboard with the new M.2s I've been reading about and was shocked when that Didn't break the bank on either board or storage. Mind you, IDK what the actual performance of these is, so there may have been a sacrifice, but I doubt it'd be any less than a standard SATA3 SSD. I didn't do any power calculations, so I switched from a 500W to a 750W just in case (GPU says 300+). I wanted to max out the Fan capacity, but I'm minus one with the multi-pack. I wasn't sure if I should have a higher inlet air or exhaust, but figured the extra exhaust was worth it. Build: $679.72
  4. I vaguely feel this to be accurate, but it's been so long since i2.
  5. I mean, if it Had worked, then it certainly would change everything we know about the game!
  6. A couple of thoughts: 1) I'm not sure it matters, but I'd put the install into something like D:\Games\COH as Win10 is VERY protective of system folders; 2) You mentioned that the files were getting removed upon trying to run them, I came across this and it was my AV even when I white-listed a folder. I forget exactly what I had to do, but I had to dive pretty deep in the AV settings and I 'think' disable the realtime scan or white list that specific file (something in that realm). I recall it taking a lot of looking into online and it wasn't CoH related, but the situation mirrors that description;
  7. I'm not sure there is as (AFAIK) they simply reuse existing maps and have (as you stated) known glitches that likely require a dev to understand what's broken and fix in the specific mission in the game.
  8. That is NOT where the maps should end up. Using your example, all maps should end up in the D:\Games\Tequila\data folder by telling the installer to install to D:\Games\Tequila folder and then directing the second file to extract to the D:\Games\Tequila\data folder.
  9. Just pointing out that when asked nicely, they'll rename the group for you. I wouldn't be asking too often though as it may be a one-time thing.
  10. Have fun and remember to sleep once in a while. :D
  11. @Number Six, False Alarm, I only have (multiple variants of) 3.11, XP, 7, 8.1, and 10. ;/ I DO have a fix I made for the (sidebar) weather gadget breaking every XX hours, but it's a manual thing.
  12. I'm pretty sure I have an ISO for that, but not sure how well it'll run native on this hardware. I can probably share it if desired. Hell, I likely have Win3.11 if you REALLY want too. :D
  13. The dirty version: Yes, you can simply copy the root Tequila folder or if you have say \Games\CoH\Tequila and only CoH is inside Games, then yes, you can copy those as is. What happens next? You'll want to revalidate your files with Tequila after running the app just in case. To make your life Easier, then you also may want to change the path of your original Tequila shortcut as well. There will be some possible after affects like the registry did have a few entries made during the original installation. I believe it's under NCSOFT(?), but there is a mention somewhere in the troubleshooting threads (try the install thread). I've actually simply drag/dropped the game folder from one machine to another and besides resolution differences (stored in the registry), nothing noticeable when launching the game. The clean version: Use the installation guides to find the registry entries affected and delete them, then follow the guide from scratch. Make SURE you do something like C:\Games\CoH\Tequila or something Other than the default user folder or Anything that Windows controls like the Download, Documents, etc or you can easily have problems. That should be standard practice for games anyway as it makes them WAY easier to move/backup/etc.
  14. PK, might I suggest a gatoraide now as you've spilled out a lot of P(h) here and might become dehydrated.
  15. Stupid question, but what do the templates look like? I'm assuming they're like equations that spit out charts.
  16. True enough, the original intent is understood/appreciated. You'd be surprised, though, how many have issue with what some of us see as simpler, hence why some of these threads are longer than they should be.
  17. I'm sure it could for those that know how (and have a compatible platform), but the online viewer would lend towards our (?) goal of universal/easy to use tools. I just happen to have more time to read the forum for once, so ideas are spilling out of my head. It's good work though. :p
  18. I was Thinking that if this was setup as readable online, then it would be a neat thing one could use on say their tablet while playing.
  19. Don't forget to update with your new toys. ;)
  20. @The Philotic Knightso you're only displaying the results of positive approvals then? Ok, one I don't see so far is the base mode for portal zone names. I think I'll G-Drive what "I" have picked up in these forums and give you a link.
  21. I give it about a tree-fiddy chance of happening.
