Sorry if im reviving an old thread but im dieing for this feature as well. Some of the helmets look great but my companion just looks silly and i cant take her seriously with that huge clunky helmet on her. Shes wearing basically what looks like slim padded armor and then has a big clunky helmet on her. It looks okay on my bounty hunter but i need the option to remove it from my companion. I also would love to see the ability to turn on or off the voice over from the helmet individually from the helmet. My companion is a cyborg after all And while were on the topic, the helmet does not match any color my companion has ever worn. I really want to see the ability to sync up the outfit colors for my companion just like we can for our own characters. Because of all of this id rather run without my companion, too bad its essential to have one with you while questing.

Ive been messing around with the UI setup and the preferences for a while now, got everything pretty much as best as i can come up with. But my main issue is dealing with the windows like my inventory, crew skills, crafting, character, etc. I can adjust the opacity/fade/alpha, what ever you wanna call it for almost all the UI toolbars and such. But i cant find anything that will allow me to adjust the opacity of the secondary windows which i have open a lot of the time. Are there any such settings for these secondary windows? Is there a global alpha or fade setting i can use?

lol i asked where the files were earlier on the forums. I was on my pain meds, forgot this thread, asked where the files were on the forums, and then thought to ask using /general lmao Now that i dont feel high, im not sure what the problem was i remember editing my ui and i always do save almost every time i change something. I remember the game had either crashed or just went black, and then i had to restart or if the latter was the case then i got back to the main screen and lost almost everything. UI no longer works, i choose any of the previous versions since i save stuff as new saves every so often, so i chose any of em and i get an error, "Unable to load interface 'insert ui name here'. A default has been loaded instead." I checked my friends list and all the comments i made for my guild mates were wiped. All my settings/preferences were wiped. I basically had to set everything up as if i just did a clean install. One of the only things i didnt lose was what was on my quickbars. So now that i have everything set up again and im gonna be backing up everything in the AppData swtor settings folder.

Thank you!

So i had an issue with SWTOR and it crashed, then i kept launching it and it would open the window and crash. Forgot every detail, but i managed to fix it. The problem is i lost all of my settings/preferences. I also lost my UI customization file. Even every previously saved version of it, went corrupt. Since i dont want to ever go thru this again i was wondering where i could find the preferences and settings files on my computer. I already found out where the GUI profiles are saved.

yeah but i thought there might be a legal trick or macro, i thought this game had in game macroing like SWG had, but i was assuming it was a lot less versatile i can deal with it, it just gets more and more annoying every time it happens lol

I know the simple answer is to just move my toon, but i find myself forgetting to do that often enough that i get logged off and have to open up all my windows and figure out where i left off. Are there any in game macros or things i can do/setup in order to not have to constantly worry about being afk? I find it annoying because usually when im crafting im doing something else not in game, or im just crafting. I dont usually work on my crew skills while playing the game unless im collecting a static resource.

So i noticed we can link multiple accounts to 1 security key but not to a mobile device. Are there any plans to allow us to link multiple accounts to one security key app on one phone? Im asking because if the security key is ever lost which im sure it will be at some point, we wont be able to log in unless we contact customer support. Also, what exactly would be the procedure to gain access to an account when you dont have access to a security key device anymore? I like the added security, but i dont like the risk of losing or breaking my security key device.

So i spent hours tweaking my UI just so that i could get an error that basically said i had lost my UI and couldnt save it. My UI was reset to default and i now have lost every little tweak i made and lost all the comments on my friends list. This is very upsetting and a problem i encountered all too often when playing SWG. I was hoping a newer better funded game like SWTOR would be more stable and would not have this problem, or would possibly back up my information in case this did happen. Where can i find all my UI related files so that i can properly back everything up myself, and then import it back into the directory in case this ever happens again? Do these files/folders also include the comments for my friends lists? If not how i can i back up my friends lists in case the comments get reset again?

damn, that thread i linked to said they added the features to move it to other quickbars and move the abilities around the boxes on the companion quick bar, damn I hate that i have to have a 3rd quickbar row, i need it but i wanna rotate the side quickbars to be horizontal so i can have 3 and one companion bar setup in a rectangle shape, and then move the attacks and what not around. Im using a sith sorc. so i wanna have more control over khem val. Hate the way its layed out atm. So you can turn off and on the ability for them to use attack abilities or what have you? How do i change that? I tried clicking the green square on the ability for one to try n turn it off so i could see if that is how i can turn it on on another ability but i cant

I was reading up on a thread that made it seem like this was not possible until i read the last post where someone mentioned all the issues had been addressed. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=65275&page=3 Now that the last post on there is over 2 months old you would think it would be easy to just drag and drop companion abilities if they added those features to the game. Since i cant seem to find a way to move any companion abilities from anywhere and put them anywhere, is this just not possible, or have i run into a bug or what have u? If this isnt possible yet, any word if its gonna be added in?

Hmm sounds like what i read about the weapon crafting skill, i think i might take up artifice over synthweaving then for my main character. What level are your characters btw? Ive never seen a game where you can get away with toon jumping like this. Just wish i didnt take my break from this game otherwise i wouldnt feel completely lost with my main character which i just got back to Ur the third person to mention i should go with biochem, is it really that pointless to level synthweaving? Im just thinking about my 2 sith atm, but i heard you could use synthweaving to make your own armor/outfits that you could put end game armors stats and set bonuses into. I love the idea of being able to make my character look like what i want if i can use the stats on the best stuff ive come across while questing and what not. Now i feel like im back to square one lol... more research for me XD

Thanks, i saw that guide before, it focuses heavily on the bonuses from your companions, i only have my 1st companion so far on both characters. I found some other guides with more extensive knowledge but i wanna double check by hearing other players opinions on whether my ideas/plans are good or bad in anyones opinion. Considering ive come across like 6 or 7 guides not that are pretty much the same, they all still have something that the other guide doesnt mention. Seems like each guide is lacking in some department and considering that guides tend to not be completely perfect or up to date, and im not seeing consistency with these specific things that not every guide mentions, i cant completely trust each individual guides word if you get what im trying to say I tried... damn my short term memory, i tried the crafting skill you mentioned in the closed beta when the crafting was still broken but there were work arounds and still a handful of working features and schematics. I think id save that for either a trooper or my BH i already made. Im still not 100% sure which character i wanna get to lvl 50 first, just almost sure. Ive played all the classes and got almost all the classes to levels 10-15 and so far im enjoying the sith classes the most, still gotta get my BH to around level 12-15 before i finally can decide. Either way tho considering how i like to play games and MMOs im sure i wont stick just one character to 50, ill most likely be hopping between 2-3 toons so i can get a lil break from grinding a specific class.

Latest Update: So im thinking synthweaving would be the best choice for my main sith class considering ill be on their the most and all jedi classes can benefit from synthweaving right away. It sounded like artifice was less important cuz you can craft on par and or sub par light sabers compared to the ones you find from looting and questing. So for synthweaving it seems the best crew skills to compliment that crafting crew skill is to choose archaeology and underworld trading. As for my alt the next best crafting crew skill i believe is artifice, and the best crew skills to compliment that seem to be treasure hunting and.... damn i coulda sworn there was another one suggested other than archaeology. I remember reading diplomacy and investigation somehow help the 2 crafting crew skills i mentioned, but i cant seem to find any sources or solid evidence of that. Do you guys think i should go with treasure hunting and archaeology for my alt, or should i pick something else since i will already have archaeology on my main? What do you think about those plans so far for my crew skills? OLD DETAILS: Yeah took me till i found my 3rd or 4th guide on jedi related crew skills that i was googling to find out that it cod make medium and heavy jedi armor. Now im curious as to which is more favored artifice or synthweaving, technically which would be better to level up on my main? And which would be better for use on my alt? Im also wondering if i would benefit more from going with archaeology and treasure hunting as my non crafting crew skills for one character and then underworld trading for the other character alongside either another one of the crew skills used on the 1st character or if i should go with slicing or a crew skill i dont have yet for that last non crafting crew skill i havent decided on yet. Do you guys think i should go with slicing for that 4th non crafting crew skill or do you guys think i should go with something else? If so why do you recommend it over lets say slicing?

Anyone encountered problems with the forum? Ive noticed while using the forum on different computers with different web browsers that the english option in the upper left hand corner will always show that im using the english setting, but for some weird reason half the time im browsing the forum all the buttons and what not are in another language. Reloading the page doesnt fix the problem, i usually have to go to a different thread or section of the forum.
