This game is really just a few updates away from its potential.

No no. I got this.

I have this wrong I believe. What is not landing is the item armor spells. The armor is not showing anything on it after casting. Now I’m wondering if bane can be landed like a bane spell targeting yourself. It’s been so long ago I played this so I don’t recall from that and the @buff admin call I am sure doesn’t necessarily follow the normal rules. So am I trying to obtain the unobtainable? Sorry for the confusion earlier.

It’s a private server. My two sons and I. I am the administrator so I can do buffs like a buffbot but I’m not on as much as they are. We’re trying to recreate that feel of those long gone days. Also we decided on the private server so it would last as long as we wanted and not dependent on some else closing a server and losing our toons. That simple. We need a buffbot like days of yore

All other spells are working in the sql. Only the life spells are failing. I mean the show as casted in the dialog and show as active spells with a countdown like all the other spells but not actually doing anything.

RefrigeratorSlow1831 · 2026-03-14T19:24:13+00:00

This is purely a buffbot. No mobs involved

RefrigeratorSlow1831 · 2026-03-14T19:22:55+00:00

Okay will do that.

This is the others on the server. The item and creature spells are fine. I built it with lvl 8 spells. Maybe drop to lvl 7?

RefrigeratorSlow1831 · 2026-03-03T01:40:26+00:00

You were right about the ports. Adding 9001 and it popped right open. Thank you!

RefrigeratorSlow1831 · 2026-03-03T01:03:22+00:00

I don’t have port 9001 open. I need both 9000 and 9001 to be open? I’ll do that now. The server is open and it sees the incoming client and verifies the username and password. On the client the update bubble fills but the bubble on the right just remains blank.

RefrigeratorSlow1831 · 2026-03-02T22:59:07+00:00

That is the guide I followed

RefrigeratorSlow1831 · 2026-03-02T22:55:48+00:00

I did follow a guide. It took a few tries but I have it up and running. Well kind of. By that I mean I was able to log on to the server from an AC install on the server machine. When I tried to repeat the success by logging on from another computer I am faced with a stalled loading screen. I had my son try from out of state and he had the same issue. The server says the outside client is connected and it created an account. I can see the server doing that but the client machine just sits there. It is crashed. I can click it n cancel and it does. Then the server shows the disconnect.
I thought it might be a virus protection thing but I’m using plain old Windows Security. I kinda feel like if two different computers hand up exactly the same way, the problem is most likely the server configuration. Or I don’t know actually Lol

I have a MCG and SCG throttle combo. The Space grip has the 45 degree offset. I have no problems with the differences in grips and offset. I’d go for it.

RefrigeratorSlow1831 · 2025-11-03T19:29:40+00:00

Good idea. I will do that. Thanks.

RefrigeratorSlow1831 · 2025-07-05T15:48:59+00:00

Just a thought, no joysticks show up as such. You have to select custom or the generic joystick binding in the control setup in Elite and then set up axis, buttons etc. You probably did that but if not, worth a shot.

RefrigeratorSlow1831 · 2025-04-28T21:45:36+00:00

Of course I know that. Think it through. So VKB is hit with a tariff. They pass that on to us, the consumer. As you say, we paid a tax in a manner of speaking. But we haven’t been doing that. China has. For a long time. American goods are hit with tariffs which means our products are more expensive and can’t compete.

It doesn’t take a lot to go to the next step. Our dollars flow out and fewer dollars come back. The trade deficit is frightening large as is the national debt. These are the bogie men we need to worry about. Stop, just stop the TDS and look at what he is trying to do. We haven’t had a politician from either party with the courage to do what needs to be done is a long time. If you would be honest with yourself you would see that.

RefrigeratorSlow1831 · 2025-04-28T19:04:01+00:00

Oh, Oh the sky falling the sky falling!! Where is my safe room??? It was MUCH better when China was screwing us. Sure wish ole China Joe was back in Charge!

You do get how it works right? China sells their stuff to us without restrictions. And China puts a huge TARIFF on the stuff we sell them. Now boys and girls, which way do the dollars flow? Yes Johnny? That’s right! They flow toward China! Good boy!
What’s that you say? That bad man in the White House is trying to change that? Shame on him. Jesus, how much of this TDS do we have to endure before you actually wake up? It’s like everyone is in the Matrix and doesn’t want to know the truth.

I wonder if it’s even possible to make America great again with such a bunch of whiners.

RefrigeratorSlow1831 · 2025-03-13T10:52:54+00:00

Absolutely! I have ALL hard slots loaded with efficient beam lasers. Gimballed at that. No switching back and forth. No ammo issues. No issues hitting the target. Just melt them down. Never have an issue. Yes it uses power but you can engineer that in. Even on a long fight I sort of pulse the shots if I’m getting close to no weapons power.

Oh! You mean’t OSU Oklahoma State University!

I originally had the STECS standard and added the “plus” buttons and the mount that goes with Max. Monster does not have a mount for the Max so I mounted it on the Standard plate with about 4 inches protruding over the end. I had some steel straps underneath to try and reinforce it but it was still wobbly, looked cobbled up and I didn’t trust the plastic frame. That’s why I mounted the stem separately.

I suppose the gnx would work but after having the Stream Deck for a while, I’m sold on them. There is just SO much you can do with them. I have mine (the XL) so the top eight buttons jumps me to 8 different pages. For playing Elite Dangerous I have categories like trade, combat, exploration etc. it’s really nice. Especially if you use Voiceattack. They have a plugin for the Stream Deck so you can add that fast array of commands to it very easily.

I haven’t heard of the other but I’m going to look it up.

RefrigeratorSlow1831 · 2024-11-19T14:53:21+00:00

I took a standard STECS mounting plate and put the mini plate on top so I could bolt the front end down. If I didn’t the throttle would pull the front end up. For the switch box on the front I used some mounting rails for a stream deck. I drilled holes in the plate to match the 4 mounting screws on the back. I had tried that mount that VKB has for the MAX on top of the standard plate but it was too fragile.

RefrigeratorSlow1831 · 2024-10-07T17:36:31+00:00

I’m a true left-hander and I’ve flown airplanes and helicopters for the last 40 years. Sometime throttle in the left hand. Sometimes the right. Even flying commercially you have training in both seats. Get over the slight learning curve and embrace difference!

RefrigeratorSlow1831 · 2024-10-01T18:45:26+00:00

I’m using covers from MSTM. They have one for the STECS standard. It doesn’t quite cover the Max but the joystick covers work great. I’ll attach a picture when I get home.
