What Hyper-Man said.  Use a custom Modifier.

You may want to actually read the thread that I linked in my initial response -- the first post has the exact command for you to run.

You would be launching it from the command line rather than double-clicking on the file.  The file just showing "HD6" just means that your system is set to hide file extensions.

You've unpacked HD6.jar -- don't do that.

HD6.jar is the executable.  .jar files are java executables -- double-clicking it should launch HD.  Since I'm assuming that double-clicking on the file launched your compression software (winzip, most likely, as it likes to take over any/all file associations that it can possibly handle), you're going to need to fix your system's configuration...particularly in regards to how it handles Java files.

Google "jarfix" -- the first result will contain a small application for you to download and run which will correct the file associations on your system in regards to .jar files.  After that, delete everything except for HD6.jar and then double-click on that file to launch HD.

Looks like your system's having issues with allocating memory to Java.  I've seen it a couple of times before...while not the perfect solution, increasing the memory that HD is allowed to use (slightly) should do the trick.  You'll find the setting under the app preferences (File -> Preferences...).

Increase it to 128MB and you should be good to go.  You'll need to restart HD after changing that setting...

No issues here - opens right up.

Post the trace.log file (after the issue occurs) as well as a directory listing for the folder that you're running HD from (the one with the trace.log file).

No, as that's a game-time consideration and not part of character creation.

Easy enough:  if you purchased on the current site (which went live at the end of 2013), your purchase will show up under the Purchases section of your Client Area.  You'll be able to pull the most recent update from there.

If it doesn't show up as a purchase, then you bought HD under the previous site (and under the 2 year support contract model) -- you'll need to purchase it on the current site to gain access to the updates.  The good news there is that the cost to purchase was kept the same as the previous cost to renew your service contract.

Please read above responses.  

 

Are you talking to me? I can not tell because no name appears in the Quotes. And it is not like I could look wich post that cite coems form either.

Are you trying to be funny or an ass?  Because the latter will get you punted to the moderation queue.

If only there were a link at the right of the quoted section that took you to the original post...oh, wait.  There is.

 

I am having a bit of a issue with the Designs.

Again, I don't write the software and will absolutely not make any modifications to it.

 

The contextual Quote Function display no text and is not clickable, forcing me to always do a full quote of previous posts.

May want to try deleting portions of the previous quote that you don't want....and/or inserting the same quote multiple times if you want to respond to individual sections of it.

The store is working just fine.  Check your browser settings, particularly in regards to allowing cookies and JavaScript.  If you're blocking either of those, the bulk of the sites on the Internet will not be functioning correctly.

try adding the following attribute to the Characteristic definitions in the template:

SHOWROLL="No"

If you're looking for total max combinations (e.g. adding character's base STR to an HKA and then taking into account STR bonuses from Density Increase and Growth), then no...as the example I gave indicates, that's simply not feasible in any fashion that wouldn't cause VASTLY more problems than it "fixed".  The GM plays a role in character creation -- if your players don't want to listen to restrictions or concerns that the GM has, then you may want to find other players.

I'm very sorry.  I was sticking mostly to security topics as a neutral input (the office of OPM and so on).  I was hoping to avoid to avoid 'picking sides' and bringing people to the understanding that corruption isn't a 'this or that side' manner.  I didn't mean to make it worse, or to be histrionic.  My apologies.

While I appreciate the apology and sentiment, I was actually referring to Tech priest support....

Hey, TP...remind me:  have I mentioned cutting the histrionics?  I'm pretty sure I have.  Did I also mention familiarizing oneself with the rules of the thread?

In total agreement with the anti "but what about..." statements.

If you want to talk about what Hillary did (or did not) do, that's fine.  But it's entirely separate from what anyone else did.  There is no equivalency.  If you're accused of murdering someone, you don't get to point at Jeffrey Dahmer and say "but he murdered and ate people!".  That's not a defense, it's a deflection.

In regards to Hillary Clinton, listen to Old Man -- I work in "security" as well.  What she did in regards to a private email server wasn't great, but is NOTHING compared to what goes on daily at all levels of DC politics.  Not deflection, just case in point of her actions being par for the course:  do you think that Trump's cell (from which he constantly tweets) is secured?  How about the email services of Pence, Ivanka, Jared Kushner, or other top-ranking officials?  Think they're not using their own?  It's a depressingly common occurrence....and not actionable (yet) without flagrant disregard for safety/security.

I understand the desire to discuss net neutrality, but it is pretty much impossible to keep such discussions separate from politics.  I've already had to lock one thread that went political, I'd rather not do the same here.

Keep politics to the political discussion thread.

Someone continues to ignore the rules of this thread.  Last warning.  Bannination is the next step.

I've a proposition that I welcome comment on.  (This post perhaps should be it's own topic, I leave that to the moderator's decision.)

 

Given how stridently the "Left" and "Right" segments of the U.S. population are in disagreement on just about every topic, who thinks it might be a good idea to split the nation into two separate nations?  Let the "Deep Blue" states form one government and the "Red States" another.

 

We'd have the West coast and the North East (the coastal strip from Maryland to Maine) form the People's Democratic Republic of America and the remainder form the Republic of American States.  The two could draft their own constitutions, based on the original, but with all the changes that would make it fit their ideology more comfortably.

 

As examples:

• The Second Amendment, where the two sides have perhaps the most strident disagreement.  The PDRA could dispense with it altogether, or write it in a much more constrained way.  The RAS could also reword it to make clearer just how far, and no further, any state could limit access to firearms and types of firearms.
• Both nations could readdress if they wished Supreme Court decisions, such as Wickard v. Filburn, which dramatically increased the regulatory power of the federal government.  This 1942 decision broadened the interpretation of the Commerce clause.  According to Earl M. Maltz, Filburn and other New Deal decisions gave Congress "the authority to regulate private economic activity in a manner near limitless in its purview."  Earl M. Maltz as quoted in footnote 223 of Chen (2003)

Which nation, in 20 years, do you think would be in better shape economically?  Socially? Which would you say would conform most closely to the Founder's vision?  Where could you find the greatest personal liberty?  Which most likely to become Authoritarian or even Totalitarian?

 

I eagerly await your thoughts!

I will point out that such conjecture and posturing is not what this thread is for....though the decidedly political nature of the "thought exercise" prohibits posting it elsewhere.  

In short: find some other site if you want to engage in a thought experiment that was attempted over 160 years ago (and resulted in more American deaths than any other conflict in our history).

Histrionics are reaching actionable levels, folks.  Tone it down.
