    Well I hope it works out for you. I found out about the full uninstall by surfing NVidia forums because I kept getting very odd graphic problems after updating without an uninstall one time, so now I tend to do the whole process, which is really annoying, but hey it works.

    Good luck

    posted a message on Weekly Data Exercise #12 - Recreate a WoW Spell

    I am going to be making the Warlock, with 9 abilities, possibly a tenth. One of these abilities is Metamorphosis....

    I ran into a problem to do with the portrait...

    Unit begins as a Spectre, with Spectre Portrait. Spectre base starts/receives a behavior/buff "Warlock". This buff is always active, basically ensuring permanent "cover mode" ie. no weapon drawn. The Metamorphosis ability removes Warlock buff and applies Demon buff.

    While demon buff is active, it swaps the model of the spectre to that of Kerrigan, tinted pure black(for now). Also would like to swap the portrait to that of the Dark Voice from the campaign while the Demon buff is active, but regardless of what I try, nothing changes, it remains the Spectre Portrait.

    Here's how it's setup...

    • Behavior.Demon.On
      • StatusSet Demon 1
    • UnitPortrait.*.Customize
      • IsStatus Demon 1
      • PortraitCustomize DarkVoicePortrait
    • Behavior.Warlock.On
      • StatusSet Demon 0
    • UnitPortrait.*.Customize
      • IsStatus Demon 0
      • PortraitCustomize SpectrePortrait

    I've tried Behavior.Demon.On -> PortraitCustomize. I've tried UnitPortrait.*.Configure (instead of Customize). I've tried the term ModelName Kerrigan(this term works for other actor events) instead of IsStatus Demon 1.

    I've searched the forums, i've looked at Colonist Female actor (lots of variations for the Portrait in the Actor Events) which all reference the variations of the Civilian Female model... I'm running out of ideas here. I've also looked at the Dark Templar... it has 2 variations but basically uses the same setup as the Civilian/Colonist Female.

    Why is it so damn hard to swap/color a portrait? If they allow ModelSwap, why not have a simple PortraitSwap?? GRRR.

    EDIT: Ok so I was having a slight issue with scale adjustments so I added a few more warlocks to test the scale out in game, and it seems every SECOND spectre gets a portrait swap... Any insight on how to make this 100% instead of 50? I already tried the term PassChance 100.

    EDIT 2: Regardless of the order, it's always first click = Spectre Portrait, second click = Dark Voice.

    Did a test...

    • click 1 on unit 1, spectre portrait
    • click 2 on unit 2, dark voice portrait
    • click 3 on unit 3, spectre portrait
    • click 4 on unit 1, dark voice portrait

    Seems this portrait isn't tied to the unit itself, but to every second selection of unit type... WTF?

    @Roar_Man: Go

    • make a duplicate of the resource gather ability
    • disable harvesting of the custom resource on the 'non-bypassing queue' ability (default one/original)
    • on the duplicate, only make it allowable to harvest your custom resource, make it bypass resource queue
    • give both harvest abilities to your worker.

    Win??

    ...

    If you can't get the proper token, recheck step 5. If your unit name is Commando, but the ID is TychusFindlayCopy for example, your token you need to find is TychusFindlayCopy.

    If it still doesn't work, just duplicate TychusFindlay(Commando) unit by right clicking the unit, then selecting duplicate, then put a checkmark in the box next to the actor Tychus Commando. Leave the checkmark in the very first box, that's the unit itself. You do not need any other checkmarks or duplicates.

    You will see Tychus Findlay (Commando) Copy in the unit list, just rename/modify the Name and ID fields to Commando, then go to the Actors Tab, find Tychus Commando Copy, and rename/modify the Name and ID fields to Commando.

    Don't worry about the Token if you do it this way.

    But you will have to modify the Abilities + field on the unit and remove Tychus - Toss Grenade if you don't want it, aswell as Command Card + field on the unit and remove Hail of Lead button, and Toss Grenade button.

    Did you just download and run your Drivers for the vid card?

    Some cards(especially NVidia cards) are notorious for requiring a full uninstallation of your previous drivers before installing the updated ones.

    It's a hassle and it sux.

    You should go to the website and google some searches on how to update your driver if that is the case.

    My nephew was also taking Muai Thai, which is pretty disciplined. We've gone to watch the kids and you can tell they really enjoy it, they're way into it. My nephew seemed to enjoy it though, but it didn't turn out.

    2 BJJ and 2 MT classes a week.

    After school today, my nephew told us that he wants to play soccer, which is probably why he wanted to learn to kick in hindsight, but he didn't even fuss about losing the classes... he actually gave them to his sister of his own accord. He never told us why he gave them away until today(well, I think that's why he gave it away, he wants soccer!)

    Ahhh, kids eh? :P

    ... you don't even need behaviors to cycle colors...

    Take a look at my map, the only modified thing is the Actor Events of the Archon. No behaviors, nothing. I only use Red Green and Blue, but you get to see some purple and a very quick yellow/orange.

    @Karawasa: Go

    Oh I'm not saying it doesn't have a meaning, just not in the 'traditional' sense.

    My sisters and brothers in law have tattoos in relation to their children and whatnot.
    My father has a tattoo of a unicorn on his forearm in honor of my mother who passed away 12 years ago.

    And then I see pictures of 19 year old guys with a tattoo from the elbow to the first knuckle of their pinky finger, of a skull and a gun shooting a bullet with some stupid saying... how can THAT have any meaning? Fucking gangsters. LOL.

    :P

    @Reaper872: Go

    LOL. Why would inking your skin require strong liquor?

    Honest to god I almost fell asleep at one point while being tattooed. The worst pain was the hand that sticks out from the tattoo... you can't see it but it's pretty close to the armpit area and it's pretty sensitive there. The only time I hissed was at the end of the session when he went back over it for a final touch up on that hand... imagine your skin being irritated(outline) then it gets irritated again(shading) then a final touch up... it gets more sensitive if you go over it again and again... lol.

    Like I said though, the experience was great.

    And I cannot blame you, Reaper. I believe you are rather young if memory serves me right, and I don't think it's something you should do when you are so young, or on impulse. I've been wanting a tat for 10 years and never had the time/money/opportunity to get it done, and then I decided it was now time to do it.

    My sister has gotten quite a few tattoos when she was younger, and now they are all covered, and have better meaning and whatnot.

    Sure, a Dragon might have no "true" meaning in the regular sense, but if you must know I collect ALOT of dragon stuff. I have a fullsized sculpted dragon coffee table, a 14inch cast bronze dragon statue with a crystal ball, a 16 inch dragon-blade, a collectors plate with a wizard and dragon(real diamond on the wizards staff top), and a boatload of statues, statuettes, posters, etc.

    I didn't even have to tell family and friends what kind of tattoo it was gonna be, they all knew it was going to be a dragon :P

    It's been a long time coming and I'm super happy!

    What does that give us, really?

    I know I wouldn't follow, regardless of the patch being live in 2 months or not.

    Booyah.

    The picture with the glare looks better, except for the glare obviously. Don't know why the non-glared one turned out stretched like that... looks a little too wide. both pictures taken from the same camera, like 5 seconds apart.

    Took 4h and 30m to do. Overall, it was a great experience and I'm very happy with it. Definitely going back!

    OH ya, ended up going back to the shop before my tattoo and having a discussion and what not to measure the tattoo, decided to keep it full size that way wouldn't lose any detail, and got it on my right shoulder instead of inner forearm.

    my 2 sisters(and their husbands) and I pitched in to get my 5 year old nephew a year of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Muai Thai classes for a year, total of 4 classes a week. He never understood the concept of the "kicking" in the dojo and he didn't like going because he wasn't learning how to kick, so he no longer goes, but my 3 year old niece goes and LOVES it. She's the direct opposite and seems to understand it much more. She's progressing very well, and the kids get ribbons on their belt when they learn(and retain) something from the class. She's already got 2 ribbons(white & yellow) and they don't give them away either.

    Nothing wrong with starting training and discipline at a young age, as long as they are able to understand the concept and don't just want to learn to kick and fight(like my nephew).
