  1. hi!

    FYI, the game will crash whenever the Windows UAC opens up. This is the prompt you get whenever you need to start a program in admin mode. The Destiny Reader and any AutoHotKeys you have need to be started in admin mode, making both likely culprits. One way to handle this is to start all other admin programs before launching PSO. This way is less forgiving; if you hop in the game w/o Destiny Reader, be prepared to have to shut it down and start over again to get Destiny Reader running. Another way is to create Task Scheduler admin tasks for all the PSO-related admin programs and start each one via task scheduler shortcuts. This skips the UAC prompt and saves the day for PSO, letting you launch Destiny Reader while PSO is running! This is what I do. To find out how, just google for "Task scheduler admin shortcuts" and it should take it from there.

  4. In the Destiny Reader add-on - thanks for making that, by the way! - how do we filter out normal weapons that have less than a given hit amount? This is very useful for Calibur hunting for Dark Flow, for instance. I remember doing this in another drop reader, but I can't find a way to do this here. Please let me know what I'm missing, thanks!
  5. Is the 'PSOBB Input Map' Tool Allowed?

    Thanks for your contribution to the Key Remapper utility, it is handy! The improvement you proposed would be great! My use case for remapping keys is, as a keyboard-only user, I prefer using only WASD/arrows/numpad for ergonomic reasons. On the numpad I prefer to have my hotkeys, menu shortcut, F2 (equip), and a quick-menu shortcut (ctrl+chat, unable to make with current tools). The issue with it running system-wide is that when I have many programs running on my machine and are performing various tasks, the system-wide implementation often interferes with other tasks, requiring me to turn it off and turn it back on in between tasks; a mild or noteworthy annoyance, depending on how frequently I'm changing tasks and how much it affects the other tasks. BTW: it turns out that the PSO Input Map program doesn't work with this client, probably due to a changed process name or something of the sort, as it gives a process not found error.
  6. Hello, I've noticed that third party tools are strictly regulated here. I'm also a diehard keyboard player, and there's one tool that could help me. But, since it's a third party tool, I wanted to ask here to be safe, as I don't want to get in trouble. Please advise, thanks! Is the PSOBB Input Map program allowed for use here? It remaps keys the way the ingame UI does, by modifying the mappings on our server profiles. It allows us to remap any key exposed in the Keyboard Config vanilla UI. As a reminder, many keypresses in that UI are locked and uneditable, or just for show, and this tool resolves that. You can find it here: link to page, link to file Just to clarify, I'm not speaking of the Key Remapper program. That one runs on the OS and aggressively takes 0-9 presses and simulates numpad 0-9 presses. This means it also interferes with all other programs running on the machine. To my knowledge, this is the only way to remap the hotkeys to the numpad. One noteworthy issue I've noticed with it is that people can back themselves into a corner if they mess up crucial keypresses such as confirm, cancel, menu, or the directionals. One user had a huge issue after mapping confirm and cancel to the same key; they couldn't undo the mapping and, after reloading the game, they couldn't even get past the character select screen! So, beware. In such cases, the server admins/devs have to manually remediate their account's button configuration server-side. Having the default template available for copy/paste purposes in such cases could save some headache. Also, having a personalized version of this with more safety rails - like a reset to default option - could definitely be an advantage.
  7. Destiny Reader: Hit Filter?

    Thanks for that clarification. Is there any chance the devs could add another input box in its configuration menu for the hit threshold to use in that filter, please? That way we could filter out any normal weapons under 50% hit, for instance, if we didn't want to see them.
  8. Is the 'PSOBB Input Map' Tool Allowed?

    Thank you for your understanding! So, if I go through with this and my cat jumps on my backspace key while re-doing my mapping for confirm - causing a terminal same-confirm/cancel key scenario - it might be time to make a new account, right? Beware, guys! Be very careful with this tool.
  9. Hello, thank you for this service! I'm excited to explore this server, as I'm a big fan of the customizations. Before I get too invested, it would be nice to get an honest assessment of if this is a good place to start a new account. 1. There's very few people online (~20 right now), will I normally struggle to find players? 2. Looking through the drop rates, they don't seem much higher than Ephinea (which I assume is close to retail?). Many are 1/1000 and PWand still has a 1/300k. Will this still have the mindless and sometimes endless grind for items? I don't have as much free time as when I was younger for that. I was really excited to see the front page ad that the drop rates are increased, but the drop tables took away that excitement. 3. Are the best custom items unobtainable? I remember in oldschool SCHTSERV - before the accounts got wiped and it went back to boring vanilla mode - it was practically impossible to get Rainblow if you missed its original event, for instance. Which was a shame, as that sword was awesome. 4. What are the best tips and advice for a new account on this server? Thanks for your time, I look forward to speaking with you all.
