Tech Support / Alt+Tab and Loss of Sound
February 28, 2015, 05:26:48 PM
Context:  I installed SWBF (3 CD set) on a computer running Windows 7.  That computer no longer works.  The first disk is stuck in the computer's CD bay.  Prior to that computer's failure, I had copy-and-pasted the LucasArts folderto an external hard drive and from that external hard drive copy-and-pasted it where it belongs on the newer computer.  SWBF works as it should, in general--there're black lines on either side of the screen but with BattleBelk's resolution changer Battlefront turns to 1080p in game.

Problem: When I alt+tab out of Battlefront, occasionally I return to Battlefront but with no sound.  I do not have this problem every time I alt+tab.   Indeed, sometimes I alt+tab once and return to Battlefront with sound only to, a couple of minutes later, alt+tab and return to no sound (so I can't think if it's a problem with something else I'm running).  Battlefront is the only game I have this alt+tab problem with.  I did not have this problem on my old notebook.

As is, it looks like all of the links take you to the same page.  That is, there's no differentiation.  I can imagine it being confusing to click a link that says Hungarian, for example, and see English instructions.  I think you need to create separate posts for each language.

Other Games / Re: Star Wars humble bundle!
February 03, 2015, 05:56:38 PM
If you have any of the games in the bundle in your inventory already and then buy the bundle, you WON'T receive a spare key right?

Are the keys from Humble Bundle activated collectively or selectively?   I have both of the KotoR games--will I be able to activate the games one by one so as to let someone else have the KotoR keys or all the keys be activated at the same time?

Edit: I've heard that they're activated selectively.

So I recently got a new Mac, and went about re-installing my PC edition of SWBF using the port and this happened...



I don't know if there's a solution, but I find it amusing. Interestingly this only happens in-game. The menus etc appear as normal.

I have a similar problem, with black lines on each side for the menus--with BattleBelk's resolution changer the lines go away in game.

Treyarch has failed to produce any good campaigns in the past few years, because they are so much more focused on delivering that intense multiplayer.

What flavor is the "Call of Duty campaigns aren't good" Kool-Aid?

That's happened to me as well. Wine seems to be pretty temperamental, sometimes it just seems to work if you relaunch the game a few times.

Another issue I've found is that I can't join password locked rooms, as the prompt window to enter a password is somehow missing.

I, uh, just got the same message ("Your CD Key is Not Authorized To Play This Game").
I'm on Windows 8.1.
The server I tried to enter was the first one on the "{PLA} PC Servers" list that appears on the right hand of the homepage, immediately below "Recent Posts."  It even did that weird thing where it'd show me in the players list when I looked from the lobby but still, not authorized.

I made sure to check that there was an exception with the firewall in the control panel thing.
What else do I need to do?

Breakdown of Sanity.  Mentioned them earlier, but they have a new (well, newish) album.


Hero definitely isn't the best song on Perception (and Mirrors is probably a better album), but it is fairly accessible if you like metalcore.  MustListenTo/10.

Now, let's move to Sweden.
Sonic Syndicate -
Scar Symmetry -
Soilwork -

Well played.
You win this thread.

Both, because I can play, with PS3 controller only.

You know what?
Everyone wins this thread.  Except me.  I lose. :'(

Public Square / Re: IRC Channel?

I remembered seeing a while ago a chatbox/shout box suggestion on the website.
Could there possibly be an IRC Channel?
internet Relay Chat is a way for uses on a network can chat with each other. 
If somebody sets up a channel (I would be willing to do that if needed) than anyone who wishes to chat can connect by use of an IRC client (there are huge numbers of them, even a few on Android and ios).
The channel can be moderated by various people (like the ops on this site,
And spammers can be turned away by making everyone set up a nickserv account (prevents people from stealing your nick, and some channels require you to be registered to speak).
Thoughts!

I suggest something easy to type.  ##SWBF is open on freenode.
Pretty sure it'd need to be ## not #.
Also, wrt IRC clients, I recommend Pidgin for Linux/Windows users.
In my experience, spammers aren't too bad.

At least Phobos makes sense here instead of trying to circlejerk. :moo:

I can't believe that moo emote is still available after all these years.

I don't think anyone's made SWBF's current staus out to be sunshine and rainbows.

Yo

I was wondering if someone could advice me any song for my next swbf vid.

These are the possible songs I have so far, so post any suggestion:
[spoiler]
Adrenaline - Coldrain
All That Remains - Chiron
The Devil Wears Prada - Still Fly
The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus - False Pretense
Pierce The Veil - May These Noises Startle You In Your Sleep Tonight/Hell Above
Bring Me The Horizon - Sleepwalking
Pierce The Veil - Stained Glass Eyes and Colorful Tears
Black Veil Brides - Unbroken
Abandon All Ships - Take One Last Breath

[/spoiler]

Do you want more clean or more screaming?
That's the most important question.
The second most important question is if you want more aggressive songs (as a baseline, I'd call Sleepwalking a fairly relaxed and composed piece) or more relaxed and composed.

I'm just going to offer some commentary and throw out some songs that I believe are montage worthy.

I like your RJA choice.
RJA stands out as the most post-punk of the various songs.  If you like that, I've been enjoying Story of the Year.

If you like post-hardcore covers of rap songs (TDWP covered Big Tymers), consider something off the Punk Goes Pop series. 

I'm not a big fan of the PtV songs you selected other than the outro/intro--the outro of the first and intro of the second is great.
Also on Collide With the Sky, I like A Match Into Water and King for a Day Better.

I can really see Sleepwalking as a solid intro song.
I think anything on Sempiternal would be a good choice.

Crown the Empire - Breaking Point-

Crown the Empire - Wake Me Up -

PtV's punk sound reminded me that you might like The Legion of Doom's mashups.  Here's At Your Funeral For a Friend -

Sienna Skies - Heartquake! -

The Word Alive - The Hounds of Anubis -

Breakdown of Sanity - Infest -

Alexisonfire - This Could be Anywhere in the World -

That explains why he was almost impeached

Almost impeached.
Almost.


But really, he was actually impeached.  He just wasn't convicted.

Yes but I'd really need to know that now. I don't think BW can play alone. And Enten was not optimistic about joining when I last talked to them.
1. Cannot parse.
2. No, you can. Anyone can be a merc.

X is a "players who don't want to commit to playing for a specific clan should not be on a list" and is not officially in that clan (because there's nothing saying you can't be officially in that clan but not on that clan's list).  X should be a merc, correct?
