[X] My Assistant

so, basically that command allows you to modify the Hosts file via MS-DOS without actually having to locate it, remove protection, edit with administation rights, re-insert protection, right?

Well spotted, it doesn't ... it's just the path to the file, to do the above you'd need to use

CODE

runas.exe /user:administrator "notepad %SystemRoot%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts"

if i remember my win-fu correctly, but can't test right now, no win machine present (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
I prefer %SystemRoot% as alias since i found some guy with 3 wins on different drives (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)
No my win-fu has gone pretty bad since then it seems ... see a couple posts down

RE?what is it,how to do it?

RE = Random Encounter
At least something still works, even if you're losing the gallery (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)

yep. certain people don't know how to use their free time (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

however hosts is read-protected, first you should add a line to emove that attribute and last you should add a line to reinstate that.
sounds more like a work for a BAT file...

Oh,yeah,im retarted,no g.e-h.org and e-h.org both blocked,so,right now,im using vps throught rdp to trigger RE

I was like level 70 I think and a member sent me a set of light leather and I kid you not my evade went up a measly 2%, lost all my block as I was told 2-H was better (about a 50 dmg bump from my rapier of slaughter so I lost my block/parry boost) and it was just brutal. I said "screw it" when I was raped on a random encounter (two mobs hit me hard at once at full health) that I would have otherwise survived with heavy. I might try to get a leather set up and try it again, it might have just been a major difference between what I had vs what I received too.
Though I'm curious how does mage fair higher level vs sword and board? I imagine with the proper gear there is more credit gain?

Heavy armor could be similarly decent to light armor before level 140 or so, I think. The problem with heavy armor is powerful magic SP attacks (strong monsters start appearing after level 150), and mana cost (at lower levels, you have fewer buffs to cast, so heavy armor's high Interference isn't as big a problem as it is later, past 200).

For those with enough credits to get a halfway decent mage set up, it's a hell of a lot better than anything melee in terms of credits/turn. High level, high training mage can get the equivalent of 40+ credits/turn (10 turn/round max) whereas high level melee likely requires at least 28 turns/round on average (on rounds with lots of monsters), much more without OFC (50 turn/round?).

I'm still wondering if Superlatanium got his credits.

Nope, that person is still ignoring me despite coming into this thread and promising otherwise.

I've given up, and will advise no one else to ever deal with him in the future.

It's not that I don't want assign points, but I want to assign them wisely.
And I would replace my katana with Slaughter suffix, but it's very hard to find unassigned/below level 300 good (and cheap) exquisite/magnificent/legendary katana of slaughter.

There is absolutely no downside to assigning points immediately. Due to the exponential growth of XP gain and PAB cost, whatever XP you spend now will be next to nothing in comparison to your XP a few levels from now.

Spend your XP ASAP. Even if you make a mistake you can subtract and spend it elsewhere if you really want to, but the effect is so small given the experience distribution that you shouldn't have to.

I seriously hate win right now ... there is no easy way to just run as admin from the command prompt, the best option seems to be a freaking 50 line bash script that creates a VB script that actually executes your stuff (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
Or through powershell which, iirc, is not always included.

There is the option to input notepad %SystemRoot%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts into the start>search box on win7 or win10 and then press ctrl+shift+enter ... what was wrong with adopting sudo (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)

****.org still with me

You're not supposed to mention that site here (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

I'm always logged in with admin privileges. I know what sort of things to trust and what to treat with caution, and I've never had any problems. So I can just go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\ and correct the file.

Though being able to do anything with no restrictions may make things easier for malware, given the holes that Windows has, if something malicious runs in the first place, I find it unlikely that being an underprivileged user would be a roadblock. For a poweruser like me, it's great being able to tweak things immediately without any annoying steps in between.

nope. Attrib command can set and remove attributes, so you should basically type:

CODE

cd %SystemRoot%\System32\drivers\etc
attrib -r hosts
runas.exe /user:administrator "notepad %SystemRoot%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts"
   [insert specific lines on your notepad window]
attrib +r hosts

not sure whether it's better to edit the file via notepad or to input a pre-typed list taken from an external file or whatever. not my business though (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

yep. nowadays malware tends to being able to build themselves the privileges they need. basically being an underpowered user only allows you to waste a shitton of time (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Quick question. Didn't see any answer in the HV-wiki.

I'm lvl 38 and I'm currently eyeing on lvl 364 weapon in the shop. Will I be able to equip it?

If there was an answer in the wiki, please link me. I've searched through keyword "equipment" with no results.

Thanks in advances!

EDIT: Oh... first post spent on HV...

Why so different?

Many people use bot only and don't read forums I guess.

i want to sell for 18k;(

Yeah I would like to also, but it's kinda impossible. Cuz you get only 50% of item bot price when you sell items via it.

So - doom9ra - even if the WTB price wildly differs from the ISB price, it doesn't mean that much because the volume exchanged on ISB is next to zero.

Hm,ok,thanks^_^

Probably for the same reason you cannot access that site without being logged in.

My guess is that Tenboro does not want to have that site linked/crawled etc etc, the content allowed there is probably illegal in many states.
