_NOPE_

Made the changes to the reader to read from the remote MySQL database, looks like it's working! Sorry, no _Zep_ user yet, but then again, I'm only through parsing file #3 of 18,869:

You voted 16 twice. They REALLY like 16! If you're not going to actually vote on maps so we can try to move forward with getting some new content in PvP, can you go free post in another thread please? k

Sounds like you needed someone with Detention Field on your team...

Now if only there'd be a button for that right on the user, instead of making me go to my profile to do it manually... eh, the new forums should fix that, right?

I don't think I've been getting any more tips after those ten.

You've made me a happy man today. +1.

Oh, I never ran the full parser on all of the files, I stopped the parser after I had a good enough sample size to work with... so I stopped at like file 26 or something like that. So, I have no clue how big this thing is gonna get.

Make it happen.

And I never got any sort of "Morality Mission" either...

Nice work Ashlocke! +1 Inf!

Oh yeah, but that person's just a jerk... I'm ignoring them now. :P

So... I started off as a Hero. After playing to about level 25ish, I started getting tips. So I ran the tip missions. I ran the ten and then I got the little hero logo next to my name. But, how do I get the Alignment power? I never got a Countdown power at all... it's nowhere in my powers list. Do you have to actually start down the road of a DIFFERENT alignment than what you started off as, and then switch back again? Because I'd really rather just always have my character be a hero. Or is something bugged, or am I missing something?

Someone should do something about that...

You voted 16 twice. They REALLY like 16!

Yeah, I don't think anyone here said it's totally useless.

Minor Damage for Defender != Minor Damage for Scrappers/Blasters.

Let's make it happen people.

Status update: I've rewritten the parser to send data to my remote MySQL database instead of my local MSSQL database, and it's now starting to populate the ACTUAL tables that will be used by the front end: And this is still just from processing file #1 of.... 18,869. :o

It has nothing to do with server load, time of the day, or number of characters. It has nothing to do with the user's ram, network card settings, or anything of that nature. It's entirely to do with the operating system. The bug wasn't happening for me on my Windows 7 until a certain game patch was applied, then it started happening. I wish I could remember when, but it was within the last month I think. Then I bought a new computer that had Windows 10 on it, and it never had an issue. Same account on both PCs, so that rules out everything but the operating system and/or the code that's working with it.

Thank you. :) I mean, for getting us back on track, not about origins. Speaking of, is there a reason you think they shouldn't, aside from some form of "they haven't been up to now"? I mean, I should make it clear that I'm perfectly aware of their lack of historical relevance. I wouldn't have started this thread otherwise. Should power color affect the power's effect? Should red powers do more damage, and white powers add -recharge? Because when that's the same argument that I could make for origins. If they have an effect, then other things like power color should have an effect. A LONG time ago, the Devs decided that certain things that were cosmetic shouldn't affect game play. They made origins largely cosmetic with their design choices. We should follow their lead, IMHO.

Whoah peeps, let's all calm down and get back to the main point... ... Which is that origins shouldn't be more relevant to the game play, that is. ;D

Are you talking about Force Bolt here? Because that power does NOT really count as a damage dealing power. I'm pretty sure it does less damage than the Origin Temp Powers.... which suck.
