How long does it normally take for mail to reach an APO in the domain of the Lord Humongous?

Re: Returning...pending a small request
2 weeks to three months.
I've had stuff sent within days of eachother, from the same locales, getting to me two months apart.
Most stuff was faster rather than slower, though.
Seemed like everything that was from Amazon got there in a week and a half.

duh... i was there hiking in the mountains back in 88, it's a beautiful country... now of course, they shoot at hikers... from both sides... just curious, do you get to see the place, or are you holed up in bunkers there?

THANKS BILL!!! (Oh and the extra was a pleasant and welcome surprise. My boots are tapping.
I got the haks, but unfortunately I also got ping. Doesn't look like anything below 1k on the ping meter.
Going to try it anyhow and see how I do - without others on the server and see what goes. Most definately just an RP PC I'm sure - at least for while I'm over here. And then there is that nasty building thing I talked about. You see (wicked DM grin) I have this idea...

Re: Returning...pending a small request
Ok haks installed, builder stuff installed, but the toolset says I am missing these files when I use the open directory option as outlined on the web page:
alfa_acr.hak
alfa_2da.hak
alfa_acr01.tlk
alfa_gui.hak
Any help here? I have the most current haks (thanks Bill). I've downloaded the other files and installed them per the web site -and Bill even sent me duplicate copies. I've made sure they are where they go - but it seems like the buildmod is asking for older copies of some of the file.
using win7 hom prem just fyi.
alfa_acr.hak
alfa_2da.hak
alfa_acr01.tlk
alfa_gui.hak

Re: Returning...pending a small request
This is because you've got an older version of the buildmod. Easiest way to fix this is to open the buildmod as you are doing, pick Module Properties from the View menu, then in the Properties tab, in the Hak Paks field change the alfa_acr.hak to alfa2_acr.hak, alfa_2da.hak to alfa2_2da.hak, and alfa_gui.hak to alfa2_gui.hak; then in the Custom TLK File field, enter alfa_acr02.tlk; then Save. Close the Toolset, and reopen it. Next time you load the buildmod folder all should be well.Stilgar wrote:Ok haks installed, builder stuff installed, but the toolset says I am missing these files when I use the open directory option as outlined on the web page:

Re: Returning...pending a small request
I think those files are missing for everyone and not essential for building.
A more current builder might correct me on this.
