  1. There is a timer. If the leader doesn't show up in xx amount of days then the next highest person that is logged in becomes leader. If that person is still active and in guild you can ask them to transfer back to you.  I'm not sure what the time frame is on it to lose your position though. I can't remember. 

     

    I don't have an answer for your other issues though, sorry. 

  2. ..if your parts are 'coming apart' once you've removed supports ensure that your parts are considered 'water tight' ... even on a preview it might appear solid when in fact it's not actually connected...this can happen frequently when the parts are quite small that you can't/don't see a non connected mesh

    OMG I feel like I'm talking in circles about this issue - it's like nobody is actually listening and keeps bringing up the same points again and again. Firstly, the config is a secondary issue... yes, it doesn't work and I have tried everything you've said and it doesn't work.. but the PRIMARY ISSUE here is the game itself won't launch!!! This is driving me nuts... come on devs, throw me a bone and give me instructions on how to diagnose this, so I can put further info here for you. As previously mentioned, I am a developer myself by trade (web developer, not game developer).. so just tell me what to do to help you help me. Come on guys, please don't ignore this issue or keep talking in circles.

     

     

     

    Yeah, you're welcome. Just trying to help you help yourself.

    Neither the game itself nor the config will run. I think it's fair to assume it's likely the same issue affecting both.

    So if they are both affected then fixing one will fix the other by virtue of your own admission.

     

    You, yourself have admitted that you can't run the game on either machine. You said it's not software, nor is it hardware, many other folks play without issue, so it's not server side. If only you are having this issue, the circle flows right back to your systems. Nobody but you has access to those systems and the symptoms you describe are fixed by following all of the advice posted on this thread. 

     

    Have you looked at your default settings for your video card? Maybe you have the settings maxxed out causing this old as dirt game to crash? 

     

    Take a look at your systems, in other words. What is there that can stop a game from running properly? You're a developer, how would you troubleshoot some random persons computer that won't play your inserted 'flash' video?

  4. When you are 'running as admin' are you just right clicking and using that or is it actually set to 'run as admin' from the primary file? I ran into this issue in previous installs of Win10 because I was only trying to run it as admin from the shortcut. Once I changed it in the file C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Earth & Beyond\EBCONFIG. Bring your compatability down to Win XP SP 2, then hit advanced, check the box to run in admin mode save and then give it a shot. 

     

    That is how I 'fixed' my issue when it occured and it's worked.

    $35.00 US  +/- isn't that terrible.  If I still worked I would not hesitate on paying that.  

     

    BUT!

     

    I still want my own printer. 

     

    Just saying,

    Mim

     

    They aren't that expensive if you're willing to put your 'kit' together, Mim. Can pick up a decent one for roughly $200 US .. ;)

    Mim,

     

    mine was around 30 EUR to get printed (i don't own a printing machine)

     

    Alurra here could prolly make an actual estimate of raw material costs.

     

    but yeah, as zackman mentioned, models are still protected by copyright laws, so private use is prolly the only thing you can get away with.

     

    i've been spotting "fake" warhammer 40k models being sold here & there though, not sure if that means companies aren't actively tracking & trying to sue ppl for copyright infringement. (my guess is they are.)

     

    will be resuming my own work (sanding /primer / filler ) at a later point, summer heat is kinda killing my motivation atm. :)

     

     

     

    Wow you paid a lot for that, Tempest ;) Materials cost is minimal at best depending on the type of plastic chosen/used. The biggest consumer is the time to print the item, which depending on the size could run anywhere from 3 hours upwards of 12 hours. I suppose I could take the time to tweak the file a bit more to lower the polygons which would produce a quicker print, however likely it would not look as clean and might actually lose a bit of the detail. 

  7. Not glued yet, no. Just the wings, hull and body are glued there the rest are 'balanced'. I'll try to remember to update here once I've figured out the dimensions you'll need to adjust your STL to ensure they fit together more properly! 

  8. So, printed it up. The beams that are to hold the armatures in place do need to be scaled back a bit. Over extrusion, not withstanding, they fit in when using blender, however, a printed piece has to have a tad of clearance to effectively slide into the slot. Short of hammering in the beams they will not fit if printed. I will see what I can do to get them to a looser fit without having to scale the other pieces out of range. 

     

    Pictures are pieces before assembly and after. 

     

    This is the finished purple progen ship thus far ;) Will be adding paint and other items at a later date, when some of my other projects are completed LOL

  9. Yeah, no, acetone will NOT dissolve PLA. You'll need a cyanoacrilate super glue type adhesive just to glue it together. The only plastic that will be susceptible to an acetone base would be ABS plastic. You'll be fine using just about anything you can come up with off the shelf for priming/filling and what not.

     

  10. Update so far: 

     

    Looking at the various pieces of the STL, there are areas that are going to prove 'difficult' in printing. In particular the wing sections as the ends of the wings are rather 'fine' and will require some interesting supports in order to get them printed properly. I have opted to give them an extra shell to see if they will prove a bit more secure. Update when I have more for you.

    I only suggested that after reading many (if not all of Thuvia's posts).  It looks to me that there is a personal issue that would be better served in a private chat. 

     

    But since it was put to a vote with an accusation that Mouli was doing the job WRONG a comment section after seemed appropriate.  But I have learned that you are correct 98.5% of the time. 

     

    Mim

    After that other thread had to be locked due to behaviour from all involved, my instinct tells me that poll would've been the same monster in a day.  If Thuvia feels something is being done wrong, then it's his perception of it, and really he won't be able to explain to another who doesn't necessarily see the same thing or feel the same way. Constructive dialogues always bring about results, lets get to constructing something useful :D

    Agree to Disagree , it remove the possibility for player to ask question to Thuvia and Damge INc about is / their proposal and why he think so.

     

    They ask and receive that the Advocate is Unbiased , they should have the decency to be open to have their proposal

    disussed and explained and poked at ... 

     

    I have searched the Advocate private section and forum for query on how other advocate dealt when two group of player wanted extreme opposite

    and the DEV did not chime in ...

    and could not find any.

     

     They refuse to sit togehter and make a new agreement , they are just gearing up to see who as the most raider and can block the others

    and can enforce it's own guild solution.

     

    It's alway sthe same raids , the same core,  and the same failed idea that one group can impose it's will on the server ... 

    I think the point you missed here Mouli is that something of this nature really doesn't have to be discussed on that thread. It is simply a tool. People will either vote yes or they will vote no, or they just won't vote at all. If you want people to discuss WHY they voted the way they did, then create a thread to do just that...

    Oh, honey... it sounds like nobody knows what the job description is, including you. (see the quote below).

     

     

    Maybe we should start by actually developing a “job description” for the player advocate. That way we have a standard of measurement for the advocate’s performance and adherence? 

     

    I for for one would like some clarity as to what exactly the ADV tag really means.

    There are numerous places where this description exists. You only need to search for it. It is not cast in stone though so each interpretation for each iteration of advocate will fill this role differently. 

     

     

    @Mimir

     

    I think turning off the comments for that poll was a correct choice. It is simply a tool to allow the players to express a yes or no. If comments were enabled, it would quickly turn into something else entirely. You've made a post here, which will give them a place to vocalize if needed. 

     

    @therestoftheserver

     

    We are all adults. Come together and work out a solution that fits the needs of the many.  If you can't fix it or have no constructive idea on how to fix it, sit down and shut up and let the adults work it out. To sit around calling names is childish at best. Stop it.

  14. *sits back with popcorn and just watches*

     

    You know, Shadowwalker is right. You have to be willing to stand up for what the players want, even if it doesn't meet with your friends or your own personal views. Not an easy seat to occupy. There is no pay, no power and if you want to do it right be willing to put in the time to get it done. To that end, if Mouli feels he can occupy said position, let him go. If he doesn't do the job the way the players want, then a new election gets held. This democratic thing is really kind of nifty, eh?

     

    On a personal side note, I would like to thank Mr. Panda for spending so much time postulating about why I may or may not have left. 

     

    Mouli, I beg to differ about the "greatest Canadian" statement and all that :P

    I've never understood the rotation , Now less so then ever as the big 3 and I'm sure a mod could confirm this if they really wanted to , Are less then 5 people simulating they're bigger with a thousand alt accounts , and 10 or 20 people that log in 4 hours a month , The raid rotation doesnt make any sense, Never did really ,  It divides people and puts fences around content, And bluntly pisses people off......

     

    And keeps small communities getting smaller.

    For someone that expresses such disdain and hatred for the player-base and the game you spend a LOT of time here don't you? If you don't like the atmosphere here or if nobody plays to suit what you feel is the 'best' way then why hang around?

     

    On to the actual topic of the thread ....

     

    Wait, it's over 4 months old, why the heck are we here flogging this carcass? If you have a point to make or an issue to raise, start a NEW topic and bring relevant current data to help others see your point and maybe get a change in the works. Using the same argument over and over again to try to usher in change, when it didn't work before, seems a bit ... redundant, yes?

    It would seem funny to me that a guild name like enbstaph was considered offensive and was banned yet a name like that went "untouched". Still say its a personal vendetta on that one. Guy got banned for that guild name also. Wonder how those names will be treated. I googled the mentioned names, boy thats obvious specially with what the first results are. 

    Actually that guild name would've been banned based on the fact that it is trying to impersonate the emulator staff. Why the owner of the guild got banned would be a matter for the GM's.  Who knows, other than those involved. Otherwise, this particular incident has nothing to do with the one you've mentioned.

  17. Spooge actually refers to anything displeasing or unidentifiable, not just the one you've obviously chosen to assign.  Chode was the name of a character on a VERY POPULAR space based animated series.

    I'll have to give it to you on the lookatmypp though. While immature it's doubtful the player is trying to harass you into looking at their genitalia.

    So are these players all dirty minded or is it just you?

    As far as you grasping at straws and implying the staff doesn't know how to do their job. For that, I'll just say that you sir/madam are indeed showing your own true colors.

    Hmm, it seems that the problem is still occurring today as of the 12th of November. Only with my TS does the problem seem to be happening. On some of my other toons, I seem to be having other issues such as items without pictures and so forth. It had been awhile since I had played using Windows 7. Just recently I made the switch to Windows 10 because I was having problems getting updates in Windows 7. After I finished installing and booting up - I followed the Magoo's guide and didn't have any issues initially until I logged in with my Terran Enforcer. On my JD I am having issues with certain items not showing up. I am sure there are others I have noticed yet but  here is a current list of items that are invisible: Plague's Bite, Aegis of the Warder, Intolerance MK. VIII, Defender's Doumaru, and Chimaera's  Dread Scourge; in addition to the aforementioned items, I have also noticed that some other types of loot such as gene maps IX and BlackBox P91 IX.

    Have you moved the articles in question into your hold and back into your vault (or vice versa)? That sometimes helps.
