I normally keep sounds down overall, so yeah, a glowies is one of those times I have to unmute. :/

"why take the risk" when there's always some....person who's just out there to cause trouble. :/

The game doesn't rely on the /data folder to function, so while you may accidentally mess something up in there, it won't actually damage anything. That's why it's always safe to add/remove content from the folder (just remember to restart the game when you do).

Sorry, I was talking about the raw data (power activation numbers, etc) that seems to be a constant headache for the Build Planner databases. Not sure why that didn't come to mind at the time of the last post. :/

What about "Marco!" and for RP you hot key "Polo!"? :D

I suppose this is where I point out that we've given painful examples of the different generations of emoticons? >.< IE: I use like Net 1.0

While something MANY would love to have, no, beyond posting things to the forums, that's it.

Due to lack of understanding of the game... Are these databases that house the data for powers and such only stored server side?

I'd imagine if they could confirm say the Private viewing option in Youtube (I think it works that way) is allowed, then it'd work.

I smell a Pinn refugee :p

Maybe I didn't read as well, but I thought it was only things like live streams where people are playing and earning $$ or violating the host's TOS?

Need more network hardware insight. Many have their own router in conjunction with the ISP's modem/router combo and don't know to put that into bridge mode (you'll get NAT 3 if you don't). Most default router settings should have the UDP active as I've Never had to alter settings on one for this game. Also, check your 3rd part AV software, VPN software (if using it), etc. All else fails, get a USB wifi dongle and disable the laptop's internal card.

So you've already installed the DLL specific files then? There was an identical thread yesterday.

If it makes you feel better. I 'always' forget to plug in / flip the breaker on a PSU when putting a machine back together. >.<

Fancy new box for GMs?

Huh, never thought about UNI taking more bytes, but the 1000 char limit can be a bit more limiting than the character name. Kinda wish that gave more options. Maybe like an ID style that covered some things and a separate bio screen.

(M&M)2 or M4?

Yeah, that's why I also put things like "Russian for..." in the Bio's.

/e panhandle :p

I actually came back to mention some of the above as even on live I molded the bio's of my alts based on this too. I had a set of sisters that were Rad based so I chose Chernobyl as a backstory which resulted in applicable names. It's so much more about stepping outside of the box really when it comes to character names. I have one name that I use Everywhere online for gaming and I've Never had trouble getting that name even though there aren't any fancy characters or spacing. As for your top bit (on the snip), this is what most players don't seem to know/remember and it has a Major impact on naming. That and the fact that the global was introduced to allow you to interact across servers. So when it comes down to it, it'd be Easier to do naming based on servers than global because global would REDUCE the capacity of names (if it were even possible) because then you couldn't have the same name on two servers (some people like mirroring their alts to play with different friends, expand on alt build design, etc).

This? I've been grabbing things from our threads, but haven't gotten around to checking them out. power_icons.zip

I'm gonna get torched I'm sure, but those are really obvious alternatives and likely common enough that others would pick up on for sure. This appears to be the problem many have (that have issues finding the name they want), but to some of us it feels more like a lack of effort than anything else. Be it Live or Now, I've very rarely had an issue getting a name within the first couple tries. Granted, I don't tend to try cloning existing things (which is technically against the naming rules btw) either. People have different approaches to names, costumes, etc and that's great. Personally, unless I already have a theme in mind, I'll base the character off of say a new AT. Here are some examples of names that I'd managed within 1-6 tries (mostly first try): Bone-Chilling Ice costume Hard Boiled Fire costume Stone Walled Stone costume Titan Oh Myy Titan weapons Water Marked Water powers Here to Bite KOIS Tribute alt for the purpose of looking at KOIS' bases that he builds on a server I wasn't playing on :P Cyphilis Centurion Crab AT Double Reticle Dual pistols Main de la Morte MM with zombies I believe Verborgenes Feuer Fire/Fire/Fire alt
