Flesh Forge posted:I think they said earlier that the tools to create and import correctly formatted model/texture content simply do not exist any more. That's a real shame. There are some costume pieces (especially monster themed pieces) that don't really come as a complete set or don't have all their optional bits consistent across pieces. If they could have cleared all that up, that alone would have brought me back already.

fwiw they've said they do have the tools for animations/models/textures and all and they've definitely made new stuff in that regard. The smart phone emotes, innertubes, they just did a new batch of sunglasses. The ways to do it apparently use old versions of software people typically don't use anymore, and developing for them also involves signing over all your contributions as their explicit property and that's scared off more than a few potential volunteers. Plenty of people are willing to work game balance and be the ideas guy for absolutely free, but it turns out 3D modeling and animation are hard and people usually prefer to be compensated for it. Go figure.

Oh that's good to hear, the last I had read about it was a good while back and they literally could not find a release of the 3ds Max tool(s) that it required, guess they found them or some alternative!

Yes, you should be able to put them in a text file. I might be a little careful with that diagram, it looks like it was just copied from the old wiki information since it's got a dead link to NCSoft in it.

I did the content on both sides and made a macro to toggle xp on and off. Just paste /macro XP "option_toggle noxp" into your chat window and it makes a gray button labeled XP. Pressing it turns your XP on and off.

Now, I really do dislike the fact you are in TF mode when you do this. Is that convenience of being able to do other things what you want most? I'm genuinely curious.

If you're doing the Praetoria leveling content you can out-level the 'moral choice' missions, because the mission where you actually make the choice is a 1-mission arc detached from the rest of it, and you obviously can't do those via flashback, but that's the main place I could see it being useful other than having to avoid TF mode for flashbacks.

Had time to experiment and neither of these styles are working for me code: Same setup that you showed. So either my formatting is wrong, or could it be because I'm using a modern xbox controller instead of a xbone or 360? Edit: I realized that tray 1 1 worked, so I thought that maybe the layout wasn't tray button, but button tray and set the ltrigger+x to 6 1. Nothing. Until I put a power into tray 6, slot 1 which then activated. So it's like I can bind the first slot in a tray, but not the others. WHICH IS NOT IDEAL lol edit 2: dug out an xbone controller and same issues. Soonmot fucked around with this message at 01:45 on Jan 10, 2024 |

For whatever reason I can't get the right trigger to work, but I found a workaround on the forums: https://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/28468-gamepad-trigger-modifier-issue/#comment-356067 quote:Use "/controller_modifiers 7 7" to remove RTrigger from being a controller modifier.

Thank you, i was parsing it as tray/slot even though when I went back to check your setup you specifically said it slot/tray! My Right trigger isn't working and I can see someone already found a work around! EDIT: Alright got it all fixed up. I would have thought that once I loaded a bind file, that character would always have those binds active, but it looks like I have to load it everytime. Good news is that I do NOT have to do the workaround, so something must be sticking around between games. Thanks for the time and effort in walking me through this, I am pumped to get back into playing! Soonmot fucked around with this message at 04:12 on Jan 11, 2024 |

My Right trigger isn't working and I can see someone already found a work around! Yeah, that character should have those binds active all the time. I went back onto that guy after I logged out and I think there might be some kind of bug with persisting joybutton binds. I'll go file a bug on the forums. Fortunately, loading the bind file isn't a big step.

Deviant posted:Mm, good point. I had not considered that it may not have aged well. I'll keep an ear slash eye out. I just posted this on my Facebook account: "This is amazing news. Back in the day, my children and I, along with the SomethingAwful Forum Goons, played the HECK out of this MMO. I am SHOVAR ROBOT, the leader of the SPASE ROBOTS, and we are here to Protect you. My boys would run headlong into battles "Leeroy Jenkins style" and I would use Shoves to soak all the aggression and damage so that they didn't become little red smears on the pavement. At one point I discovered a bug in the game where one of the epic bosses on a main quest, Hamidon, could be entirely disrupted if a player used revives repeatedly while inside his "membrane". It caused the zone server to reset, bouncing all players and when everyone logged back in, Hamidon would be gone, leaving everyone disoriented and the raid entirely disrupted. When I stumbled across it it was while spoofing leading a raid and instructing a large group of pubbies to do jumping jacks while dying repeatedly... so when it happened I don't think I ever laughed so hard while playing a video game in my life. We named the bug "The History Eraser Button", reported it like good little Goons, and then I would like to say it wasn't abused until the issue was addressed and Hamidon raids were adjusted... but it was. I had a friend named Cabbie who especially found all sorts of ways to make life annoying for one pubbie named Hank Rearden who had gotten rather pompous about being a Hamidon raid major General using The History Eraser Button. My kids absolutely loved watching all the chaos unfold. Great times. I also modded the game three ways from Sunday, and the resulting Fae Symphony, titled "Goonbox" became pretty popular in the day, enough so I had to quit hosting it before it sucked all my bandwidth and it moved discreetly to SA's servers. It was primarily an audio mod, having fun modifying the sound effects, music cues, and tracks to pop culture themes and memes, but it used artwork memes and original pieces as well. I opened development and contribution to it and as a result it had some, only a few, elements that didn't age well over the decades and some revamping efforts were made to update it a few years ago, but everyone is very busy and they weren't finished. The gem in the crown of Goonbox turned out to be an afterthought, I modded the sound cue for "The Glowie" the sound effect of a quest object that needed to be clicked to complete a mission, from a generic throb to a multistereo performance of me and my children directing players to their objective which worked brilliantly in game and could really be used to zero in on an elusive object. People who remember still quote "Are you Blind?!?" and "Goons, Goons are the Best!" as my kids directed and sang to them during the clip. When NCSoft shut City of Heroes down back over a decade ago, little Baxter burst out in tears like a family pet had died. When fans managed to drag it back from the dead I was elated, but I was always worried they might get banhammered... but lookie! Now they're OFFICIAL! This is awesome news. I know nobody else really cares I guess... but if anyone else is looking for a great MMO to play for free, you just found it. Are you Protected? 🤖👻🧚♀️😺 #cityofheroes" Sorry so clunky... I'm a bit rusty, lots of moving parts and over half a century old you know.... Anyway.... I'm glad you guys still like Goonbox! We should make sure the version available is edited right so the glowie effect is the right one and all. Oh. And look what I can do! OooOooOoooooo Shiny.

Like many others ITT, CoH was the MMO of choice for me back in the day. I logged soooo many hours in this game. When my brother told me it was back with an official license from NCSoft, I installed the Homecoming client and gave it a shot. I never thought that running around Atlas Park beating up Hellions would give me such a nostalgia rush, but man, I'm feeling like it's 2004 all over again.

They do put a warning mark on any character who is at risk of losing their name though. The higher level your character is, the longer you have before you could get your name taken.
