Ah, that explains it. I do have that sfx silenced for another reason. My powers list of silenced sfx is a bit long and I did a cursory glance into that folder for anything that might also hit the collector, must have missed that one. I will update my spreadsheet. Thanks @AboveTheChemist !

The only thing in the Tech folder I currently have silenced is lowpulse2_loop The only other things that I have that would even come close would be: V_Powers\elecArmor3_loop V_Powers\lightningfield2 V_Powers\StaticDischarge1

Don't know what to tell you. Logged into one of my existing bases on live, dropped in an Insp Collector and not a peep. You sure there isn't some other item present that may be emitting the sfx? Could be something that has the same file in another category. Strange none the less.

Don't know, I just check on Beta and silencing those 4 files took care of the Tech Insp Collector for me. Though Tech base items incessant noise is why I tend to use Arcane items in my bases.

Try sound/Ogg/Powers/repelhit

The fourth sfx should be: sound/ogg/Tech/zapperM_loop

As far as I know they should be correct. Many of the entries are carry-overs from the Legacy forums so I have not personally check each and every one of them. Edit: I just went onto Beta and tested all 4 files and all sound from the Tech Inspiration Collector have been silenced. There is only 1 file in the Tech folder, the second 'Tech' listing in the spreadsheet was also a holdover from the Legacy forums, I've tried to remove all of those but there still appears to be a few here and there. Are you sure that there isn't something else nearby that's producing a similar sfx? The same sound file will still play if it is in a different folder, though not sure what that folder might be off the top of my head.

Because if shit blows up, there is time before the weekend to fix it. No developer wants their game, especially a multi-player to be off-line on the weekend. Most developer's bean-counters don't like paying OT for when shit breaks and they have to work the weekend/late into the night to fix it. When you work late/long hours/weekends to fix major blocking issues (game crash/exploit/etc) targeted, but less thorough testing occurs. At the latest, Thursday is the last day most developers like to drop an update/patch. I've seen it done on Fridays, and I've seen it go horribly wrong.

Guns N' Roses - November Rain

That's easy... if you don't like cheese. Even my cheese steak has no cheese on it, but instead has mayo and bacon.

OZZY OSBOURNE - Dreamer

I believe there was or is some sort of regulation regarding the appearance of children in "violent" video games. I think Penny being 15 is at the bottom end of the age threshold and why "Baby" New Year looks nothing like a baby.

Editors - Munich

That's the one thing I always appreciated the devs doing in CoH that our character's generally don't get a pass on in other games. Fall damage. No matter how far you fall, as long as you are at full health your character won't die. That doesn't mean that a mugger in an alley can't throw a rock and take your last HP... but the fall itself won't kill you.

Designated Deadeye ?

Werd. Hamburger I can understand cooking through, but steak? That should be bleeding on my plate.

Cool beans PK! Nice add to your tool!. I believe I got their name from the old forums, and boy howdy wasn't that fun. 🙂 And I'm not sure if digging through the the archive for that thread would yield any more info on that individual. Was just starting to wonder if Corva might know them or have contact info.

Asking for scrambled eggs and getting something that resembles chopped up and melted together hard boiled eggs. Scrambled eggs should have a consistent colour and texture, if it's patches of orange and patches of white, you DID IT WRONG! Also, as much as I enjoy watching Gordon Ramsey, scrambled eggs should not be slimy!

Not sure what the answer to your question will be, though it'll probably be low on the totem pole. The base code is notoriously spaghettified and a pain to work in. Regarding tips and tricks, head down to the Base Builders section where there are many builders with suggestions and a handy Cheat Sheet thread.

More space porn...

I've blown up 2 HP laptops just from playing CoH. This was during Legacy, so I suppose it's possible HP has changed their layout since then though I wouldn't hold my breath. Back then, the CPU and GPU shared the same fan and cooling channel, with no additional copper or aluminum heatsinks. Very poor design as the CPU/GPU combination (and lack of sufficient cooling) would generate enough heat that it would eventually de-solder the GPU from the MB causing all sorts of failures. I've had 2 Acer Predators since then (first one was stolen) and I've never had an issue with them at all. Both are tanks in weight and size, 17" monitor and 9+ pounds with a brick for a power supply. A suitable bag was a pain to find. 🙂 They have a couple of models that are in or close to your price range, here's the larger of the two: https://store.acer.com/en-us/predator/laptops/predator-triton-500-gaming-laptop-pt515-52-71k5

Wait...? Avoiding death as a strategy is not allowed in PvP?

People that don't know that you spread peanut butter to the edge of one slice of bread and the jelly shy of the edge of the other slice so that the peanut butter seals the jelly in. Also, people that think it's odd to but plain potato chips in their PB&J.

Thanks for the link PK, hadn't even seen that thread. I'll have to check it out. 🙂
