[quote who="RedneckDude" reply="75" id="3493285"] Harpo, it was a joke. The Gear was being sarcastic. Hankers is correct. [/quote]what is this 'joke' thing? harpo is still pissed off at the forum software(due to poor user design of forced subscriptions and may the stardockers that made this change get buried in thier subscriptions), but now puzzled
[quote who="The_Gear" reply="71" id="3493160"] RedneckDude - Only for you, my friend [/quote]what about the OTHER people that are inconvienienced by the HORRIBLE change( if it is not fixed I might decide that this forum system is too irritating to continue with and simply leave and no longer try to help people in the sins forum along with abandoning my sins utilities harpo the pissed off
I also find the FORCED to subscribe for each thread/reply to be VERY irritating, and it has only been a couple of weeks since I noticed the HORRIBLE behavior happening, also I checked my account option forsubscriptions (that I had originally turn OFF was back to ON). WTF is going on. I usually just use the replied to threads menu and have NOT EVER wanted OR used subscribed to threads. harpo the irritated
shigiddy, it sounds like you might be attempting to edit in a text editor a BIN file, this can be confirmed by the first THREE characters of the file being BIN. the fix is to convert the file(s) to txt mode either using the convertdata(expansion).exe or one of the convert gui utilities like my text bin gui which is also in <a title="sins utilities thread by harpo" href="https://f

I must admit that I also use the 'request a large value cheque so that I can open an account with them' method for all the very few 'finance' mobs that actually do get to talk to me. as far as phone calls go the levels of defence aginst them are 1 is that the landline is unlisted, 2 is on the do not call lists at each level of 'government' in the country, 3 has a phone/fax answering machine set up with the message "you have reached

just to keep this thread on track, the definition of 'politician' that I use comes from poly (many) and tick (blood sucking insect), unfortunately the tick is the most accurate part as they KEEP sucking the 'blood' of the country/region/area that they are 'supposed' to be 'guiding/working for', but there are SO MANY of the those insects(inteligence wise) that the entire definition appears to be totally correct harpo

I actually suggest to my customers(note the majority of my customers are seniors) that if they get such calls, (first make sure that their computers are NOT switched on), then that they should play 'dumb' and not know WHAT a computer is , and get the caller to describe what it should look like, and when the caller gets to the type of description of a 'screen' that the customer sits in front of and looks at, I suggest that the customer sa
and then there is the mess that is australian politics (2 MAIN 'parties' (labour - liberal/national country party) and several 'minor' parties (sorry can not even remember how MANY of them there are, but new ones seem to come out of the swamps every election, and with THREE levels of political MESS (local, State and national), and no one level even tolerates the other two, it is looking even less like anthing that could be considered to have ANY sign of intelligence)

and a bit more AGAINST me is I have done EXACTLY nothing regarding sound or MOOSICK other than to turn them OFF harpo
what do you mean me, I have NOT done ANY modeling OR sound editing, only small simple mods and my few utilities, and point people in the direction of answers to their questions. harpo

you should try figuring out HOW to update mods you do not have between versions of the expansions (and even between expansions), then for the final act, try to figure out how to make a utility for creating translations of the game when you only speak ONE language. the results could end up with a VERY messy explosion from brain overload. harpo

volt, in my text-bin gui I just use standard ASCII text with full paths to each of the files supplied as a sttring to the command shell, and in some of my testing I have had over 10 copies of convertdata running at the same time, but was not able to verify that the files were converted except when I was limiting it to one file at a time and waiting for the convert to finish harpo

in my experience with the convertdata'a, they just require a dosbox and either starting in the folder or with explicit paths specified for the exe and entities harpo
