As I said in my previous post, I called Stewart this morning, asking if he had a fan for my Northbridge.
He said that he has nothing that would work with my motherboard, and to check the internet.
I told him I checked Newegg, it gave me two results, but nothing that looks like it would work.
He said that he could hotwire a small fan over the Northbridge, and nigger-rig it by using glue to hold it on there, and it should cool it down.
Again I told him about what I read, and if I was wasting my time thinking again this would not even fix it. Even told him about that normally it’s used for overclocking.
He said that it doesn’t matter if you do or don’t. But he couldn’t even do that because they where swamped with people needing help. Even on Monday it’s iffy if he’ll have enough time to help me.
After this crushing blow, I took my shower and as usual, talked to myself, saying that I gotta stop being this lock up’s bitch! I got to say “FUCK YOU!! I’m not going to let you keep me away from my gaming!”, and not be discouraged when it locks up, and just get BACK in there and keep playing.
Either my computer will die from the stress, or it will say “FINE… you win. I’ll stop”.
I did it in WoW when I got my two chars to Level 80. I got to do it again. But then I started thinking about having to spam my Quick Save button on source games and how annoying it is, and got an idea to ask Facepunch for a script to take care of that for me.
After getting done with my shower, I tried to do that, but I didn’t know where to post it without getting banned. So I asked a mod. Hours went by and angry finally logged in.
He told me to use this ‘AutoHotKey’ program. But what he didn’t tell me is I would have to do the scripting myself, using it’s scripting language to do what I want it to do.
I asked him to do it for me, as payment of sending my case of TAB Episode CD’s to him today. He wanted to see them. But he was too busy to help.
Time passed, and finally he responded. He said to make an autosave.cfg file in the source game I wanna play and put in the command used by source to quick save a game, followed by 250 ‘wait’ commands, claiming that the wait is based of your FPS, and at the last, having ‘exec autosave’.
I ran this through the console, and it disabled my keyboard, like it suddenly lost all key bindings. And I have a good idea why.
The bind command I used in it, made it think that it would find keyboard binds in it. It didn’t and didn’t load the keyboard binds from config.cfg, disabling my keyboard.
He hasn’t said anything since then. Even as I type this I’m waiting for a response.
Anyway, finally the mod responds alittle later on and told me what section to post my thread in. I did, and waited for a few hours, and finally got a response to get this for Gmod. It will be useful for if I wanna go back to building contraptions again (which is the reason this site exists), but it won’t be helpful for HL2 mods like HL2OS.
So I made a thread on steampowered.com using the same thread data, and all I’m getting in that one is replacing my PSU with a “better” one than the one I got, instead of giving me a damn script.

As you can see, I got delays and setbacks of this. If I can’t fix the issue, then maybe I can try to ignore it. But I can’t even do that without this script. Very annoying.
