    My WP/SS tanker has no problems with Boobcat, and that's after dealing with Neuron first. It's Neuron's endurance drains that might trip me.

    This all got taken seriously, which is strange.

    I tweaked my stone/elec build. Anyone have feedback?

    The strangest thing is that the new NCsoft launcher detects when it has last changed. You can see this in the bottom left corner of the launcher. It would be easy to have the launcher direct the game to display the agreement only if it has changed... like other MMOs do.

    Wow. Some very nice builds in this thread. Thanks to all who shared their ideas.
  10. Ruff_Tuff_n_Buff
    Okay. Room for improvement, but I tossed this together. Stone/Elec going for run speed while being defense capped.

    While taunting a Yellow Mito during Hami, I hit my secondary mutation and got monkified. It was recharged. I couldn't resist!

    Too many alts to create MIDS builds for. I'll do it later and, for now, focus on my main.

    No Steam? Do the vidiot map packs work for you? If so, I'd try mimicking the folder permissions for that.

    That's great! I only wish it would work for everyone. Maybe it's a Steam issue?

    What setup are you using, damienray? Windows 7? 32-bit? Steam or regular install?

Nada... same error, BUT the game starts now - but all the cursors are just black boxes.. no image. How's that for weird ?
    I don't know. I'm out of ideas. I can't reproduce the problem.

    Sounds like a permissions problem with your Windows user account and that folder, like the game doesn't have access to the files you are extracting.

    You can try adding yourself to the Cursors permissions folder.

    - Go to the GUI folder you created (ie: C:\Program Files\City of Heroes\data\texture_library\GUI\)
    - Right-click the "Cursors" folder and select Properties.
    - Select the Security tab and then Edit, then Add.
    - Type in your Windows username (ie: Robert) and click "Check Names". If you typed it correctly, your name will be underlined. If not, verify the spelling.
    - If all is good, Click OK
    - Under "Group or User Names:", select your freshly added username (ie: Robert) and look below "Permissions for Robert".
    - Place a check in "Full Control". Everything else below that column will receive a checkbox automatically.
    - Click OK until you are out of everything.

    Here is an image to assist:

    "Legacy" on left, new one on right. They both true scale on command. Which is nice.
    The legacy team needs darker green inside the player "pillboxes" with a bright green outline, as it is on the Live servers. In that screenshot, the green border, green background and green player text are all the same brightness, making them very hard to read.

    In the new team UI, the bizarre Quit button needs the text back. There is no reason to have a gigantic button with a tiny, cryptic icon in it, when the word "Quit" will fit in the same space.

    What happened to the original GUI developer?

    I have an update on cursor customization, with some new cursors.

    Preview:


    Download:
    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/120706/cox_cursors2.zip

    Installation:
    Extract the zip to your CoX folder with the suggested path. If the folders do not exist, you must create them. Fear not! This will not alter your actual CoX installation (like Vidiot Maps). Exit the game, relaunch. The files should be about 5.5 KB. Personally, I use Winrar.

    32-bit Windows:
    C:\Program Files\City of Heroes\data\texture_library\GUI\Cursors\

    64-bit Windows:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\City of Heroes\data\texture_library\GUI\Cursors\

    The zip contains:

    cursor_hand_open.texture
    cursor_hand_closed.texture
    cursor_point.texture
    cursor_select_enemy.texture
    cursor_friendly.texture
    cursor_select.texture
    cursor_win_diagresize_backward.texture
    cursor_win_diagresize_foreward.texture
    cursor_win_horizresize.texture
    cursor_win_vertresize.texture

    It's that market cut that makes me cry. 192 million.

    I really do not like the icons and text overlapping the health and endurance bars. That's a terrible, terrible design.

    Edit: And the health/end colours are too dark. And now that I look at it again, the buttons above and below the League (I think?) window are cryptic. I cannot tell at a glance what they even do. They NEED text labels.

    All my cursors are a black square when I get this.
    The texture files should be a little over 5 KB each, not 128 bytes (maybe you pasted shortcuts instead?). That error occurs if the texture is not 32x32 pixels (they are).

    Try unzipping to your Documents folder, then copy-pasting them to the correct CoX location.

    No, but I'm expected to, and that's the problem with it. When you design a user interface with a specific intent and people do the opposite, you have failed in your design.

    The point of this thread is to bring attention to it while the new launcher is still in the developers' sights, instead of six months down the road when they have long since moved on.

    We have no way of knowing whether a better solution is feasible, but that's not our job. We provide feedback and the developers decide if it's doable.

    What reason do you have to want the terms presented when they have not changed since the last time?

    Do you need your contract presented to you each day you go to into work, even though you signed it when you were hired and it has not changed since?

    Does Paypal need to present you with its terms and conditions every single time you wish to make a transfer?

    Maybe if you provided a rational explanation, it would sway people to your point of view where ridicule and sarcasm do not.
