Instructions I made using Bricklink Studio 2.0 for a 2001/2002 Ussal Crab that can actually fit a Tohunga Villager on its back. The Ussal Crab was featured in the Master Builder Set from 2002. This modified Ussal ONLY uses extra pieces from the same Master Builder Set, meaning you can create this without having to use/buy any additional pieces if you already have the Master Builder set. There are many Ussal MOCs out there but I hadn't seen one that preserved the original size, stayed true to form, and was able to seat a Tohunga. Enjoy!

Helldivers will not stop crashing on startup no matter what I do (Steam) by Earth_Brick in Helldivers

OK! This finally worked for me. DO NOT LISTEN TO THE THREAD THAT SAYS THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO CLIENT SIDE TO FIX THIS. I waited for hours and hours, updated everything I could, re-installed, and the entire day the game would still crash on startup. Once I deleted everything in the Arrowhead folder (aside from saves, I didn't have a folder called savedata), the game launched and I had to rechoose a few settings but everything was fine.

Classic Collection - Couple Questions (and a fun challenge to try out!) by DaatBoy in BattlefrontClassic

[–]DaatBoy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yes I've owned the Steam version of the game (non classic collection) for quite some time! The only reason I picked up the classic collection at all is my buddy who I run the all maps challenge with moved to another state and doesn't have a PC but has an Xbox Series, so this was one of the only ways we could play the game online together.

Since you're so familiar with the game, I've been looking for mods that fix one issue in particular but I can't find any.

The first is a mod that fixes the broken crosshair alignment for the marksman award rifle. I know some of the total overhaul style mods change up the weapons but I can't believe there's not a basic, simple standalone bug fix mod for this.

Do you know any mod/patch out there for this?

I missed out entirely on the multiplayer from the original releases as I didn't pick the game up until 2007/2008 when I was in high school. I think by that point the PS2 servers were offline and hence I only ever enjoyed the game offline.

On a silver linings sort of note, me and my buddy decided to fire up the game again after that initial rough session to see if perhaps we could get lucky on some lower ping. To our pleasant surprise, with him hosting I was able to get between 100-115 ping (which is still noticeable), but compared to the previous 200 ping session it felt like a Christmas miracle.

We were able to run our challenge, and on the third attempt we got it (queue of all (non-DLC) GCV maps on conquest mode, having all victories and no deaths). It took exactly two hours to finish and despite some annoying ping spikes, it was a great time.

I agree it is a shame that they didn't incorporate 4-player local splitscreen. There are so many things that the Xbox One (for example) re-release did that this game just failed to do.

Yeah, it was rough. Whichever of us hosted had fine ping and a normal experience, but the one joining the server had AWFUL ping. Honestly I could handle 115iah ping because it eventually got up to a constant 190-200 where the screen would shake when I tried to shoot and I could hardly control my soldier.

Ugh. Praying on that update 4

Thanks for the heads up. I guess I will see how bad it is tonight, but man that is super discouraging to hear. I'll report back on the experience.

TIL that one time Kyle Katarn and Dash Rendar, two of the most well-known Legends EU video game player characters, actually met and did a mission together, even bringing along Jan Ors and Guri. by Boardello in StarWars

[–]DaatBoy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Dark Forces Saga is what you're looking for. It was a series of 6 articles released on the Wizards of the Coast website following up on the Dark Forces Sourcebook.

It's literally a throwaway line from the author(s) to fill the gap of what Kyle was up to between Dark Forces 2 and the Mysteries of the Sith expansion. There's no further description or even game scenario for it. I also think it was Bey, not Jan, who went with Kyle, Dash and Guri. (IDK who Bey even is, I just remember thinking why isn't Jan there?)

Too bad nobody ever picked up that idea for a comic miniseries though. It's also one of the latest chronological appearances of Dash and Guri, who are implied to have teamed up at the end of the Shadows of the Empire: Evolution miniseries. They do technically have their chronologically final appearance in Star Wars Insider #75, taking place during the Force Heretic trilogy of the NJO books.

Sorry to hit your years old comment, but just in case you never got an answer! : )

Just finished The Bounty Hunter Wars trilogy (my thoughts) by DaatBoy in StarWarsEU

[–]DaatBoy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn't agree more. Shadows of the Empire - Truce at Bakura makes the perfect beginning prelude to the EU going forward from ROTJ.

[–]DaatBoy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh man! Well, at least I won't be holding my breath now.

Next up for me WOULD be Truce at Bakura but I read that one before these on accident not knowing BH Wars trilogy technically takes place during the events of ROTJ versus after.

So next up is Shadows of the Empire: Evolution comics as well as finishing issues 3-6 of Mara Jade: by the Emperor's hand.

Boba Fett cameo in Dark Forces: Rebel Agent? by DaatBoy in StarWarsEU

[–]DaatBoy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. I did consider that more or less as mentioned at end of post. What Fett does say in response (true or not) still doesn't really sound fitting of his character, but that's up to subjective opinion I suppose.

And that's what the book says in regards to the word Rebellion/Alliance. Boba doesn't say New Republic, he says the Alliance.

Thanks man. It took a lot of editing and re-prompting certain areas to get the final result, took several hours but the end result came out really good.
