I stopped in just to post that...the difference being you actually included the reference. :p

//we REALLY need a non-game general group Ok, so I can't help the group trying to troubleshoot CoX on Mac because my MBP has been offline for a while. I decided to pull it back out and attempt to rebuild it, but I've a few issues starting with, I need to create a bootable MacOS USB using my archives and a Windows device. I can't use my PPC to make a Dmg that my Intel Mac can read. I didn't think to convert these (misunderstanding of methods) as I downloaded them from the App store, so all I have are them in App format. I've come across a couple methods, but they all require the terminal and a working Mac. Some important backstory, this is a 2012 Non-Retina MBP that has been maxed out in upgrades. RAM is topped off at 16Gb. The OS drive is an Evo 860 500Gb that I was splitting in two for Bootcamp, but that drive is all but RAW right now. I'd pulled the optical out and made it an external. In its place went a 2Tb Seagate (again, split in half) for my Data drive. There ARE Time Machine backups on the drive, but even when I Do get into the recovery mode it refuses to use them to restore the primary drive. I've pulled a clone of the apps from that drive, so I'm not entirely concerned with data loss. That and I already had a copy of my licenses. So why am I in this situation? Sometime late last year / early this year the keyboard started not acting right. Sometimes it didn't want to type some/all letters. Thinking it was an update issue, I rolled back the Windows OS, tried reinstalling the Bootcamp drivers, but nothing helped 100%. Gradually it seemed as if it was affecting the MacOS side and eventually got to the point that I couldn't consistently use Mac boot command keystrokes. I even pulled out my Mac USB keyboard, but after a while even IT behaved the same way. I 'think' a PRAM reset worked at first, but eventually either it wasn't resetting (keys not working) or it no longer worked in general. At this point the OS drive is unpartitioned, the Data drive is intacted, but the device gives a DOS style "please insert a valid boot disk" type message. I'm guessing that's because it sees the split drive and somehow the UEFI/SMC is messed up, so it thinks it's a PC right now. I'm hoping it's software as I don't really wanna replace the keyboard right now. IDK if I can do it myself (yet, need to find guide on iFixit), but I'm not lacking in experience nor tools for the job.

Did you happen to post a staff/regen build that was heavy on stamina yesterday? :p

Possible leftover/damaged registry entries overwritten by the reinstall.

The reloadgfx command wouldn't help here would it?

I think I read elsewhere on here that some computers (Dell?) don't like the DVI as the primary.

Wait, that's a TP-2-Base command?!? :O

Yeah...I've been kinda sorta using it since oh say Beta (Win3-Win95) when it was on floppies and still owned by Jasc. :p

So your helper server is a Tool...well that explains a lot. ;)

Eh, I'm more bitter about the fact that we've been having persistent Globals issues. The likely reason people Stay in Help or LFG. Nothing pisses you off like not being able to talk to others just because you entered a building. Now I haven't played in a bit, so if this has been FIXED, then I'll be forever grateful!

Well if it Helps to understand Why...You have to have something else running/open to Alt-Tab over to. The desktop alone may not be enough to Alt-Tab out to.

Also, if you feel adventurous, then you could go into the Tequila\PLAYERNAME folder and edit the playerslot.txt file. I believe the pages have 10 alts per, so keep that in mind when editing. Harder and easier to mess up, but sometimes the dragging flips pages too fast for me. Also note that if you leave an empty slot and then create a new alt they'll go into that slot (causing you to move that alt). It happens to me a bit because each page is a different SG/theme.

Curious as to why your builds weren't being stored in your documents folder as that's the default method this app has always had?

Possibly dumb question, so you're still talking about a local app that talks to a server OR a local app that later sends you results data?

This, summer is in full swing (about to end), so those who Can are enjoying RL or adulting with their tiny ones.

"Freeware" if you can get an old (make sure it's clean) version of the app, but I've been using the PaintShop Pro editor's built-in screenshot function. It works independent of the OS/game and will ALWAYS work so long as you don't bind a power to the same keys (if you did, then you'd get like a billion screenshots at random :p). I've never had an issue with it and it's nice because then I can edit them with a Photoshop like app. ^.^

This seems to be affected more by zoom distance when I'm playing. Sometimes I have to zoom out and kinda move my cursor a bit or even face from a different angle, but for the most part I don't have too much of an issue (possibly because I'm just used to it). I have to be careful when placing things like the Vault in bases because the click point is too high. I'm not sure how the game actually handles the points that are clickable or I might have something to add. The pointer thing likely failed because the actual group of pixels that make up its click point doesn't really change when you do that (as you found out). +1 to having these points enlarged if possible though!

Heh, I vaguely recall that name. :p I'm mostly on Torch with my two OG SG/VGs recreated (self-alts only as I don't think anyone's coming back TBH), but I've recreated/made new some alts just for LL on Indom. I might just have some DD quality alts in my Beta list once they get out of Praet, but I haven't decided on the Beta crew's themes yet. If you haven't seen it, PinnBadges is a live chan in-game as well.

Let's see... No finger anchors / spawnage Finished my 3rd/last college in 2010 My 20yrs of retail was ended For me just before Xmas 2017 Beta tested that Marvel UA style game (and a few others) that eventually failed "Smoke" tested the remastered Pegasus Prime for Mr. Yune before the released it on GoG And who knows how much else...

Have you been messing with key binds? Any idea of things you've done recently? Also, I encourage having this in the Tequilla options to help reduce the strain on your system when (successfully) alt-tabbing:

Isn't there a list of existing global channels? There's a bunch out there with different themes. Base building, etc.

I don't have the steps to follow off hand, but there are display scaling options that you should turn down to either 100% or 125% as the 150% breaks old stuff. I've seen apps not load at all with the higher setting.

Are you guys marking just the EXE's as safe or are you making the whole folder white listed? I'd do the latter as you "shouldn't" have to do it more than once. Just checked mine, I haven't made Any whitelisting for Webroot, but Defender has my whole C:\games folder whitelisted. I can't remember Ever getting a message about the game with this config.

I've only skimmed the thread, but I remember having either made or customized the existing MM pet powers in such a way where I'd have a handful of things they would do. It was for all pets, as so to keep them manageable. I remember their being a standard set I'd followed, so a look in the old forum guides would be something worth the effort to comb through. Hopefully PK will have something by year's end that we can all access (old forums) and make searching for these things easier.

Well Fu....this country needs some serious mental health support. Amongst other things. Take your time.
