BlackSpectre has it covered above but I'll share a couple of keybinds I use in case that might be helpful. You could probably make macros of these as well if you want. The conprint portion gives me feedback as to which type of screenshot I have just taken. COMMA "conprint "UI ON"$$screenshotui 1$$screenshot" CTRL+COMMA "conprint "UI OFF"$$screenshotui 0$$screenshot" I've attached a transparent overlay that I have overlain on screenshots that show a badge marker. I made it myself so it might not be quite as nice as some you see on the wiki, but it might work well enough. It doesn't seem to want to attach as a file, but you can right click and save as to download it. And I just realized you needed one for history plaques, so I created this one

A controversial topic: is it time to make all items free?
AboveTheChemist replied to Yomo Kimyata's topic in The Market
That's reasonable. My point was more that your assertion that "having your Supergroups base deleted everytime the server is updated" simply isn't true. Brainstorm has been updated numerous times over those four years. Perhaps our definitions of "updated" differ, though. And yes, to lemming's point, my base is the same barebones travel/amenities hub that I use on Everlasting and Torchbearer, and it takes 20-30 minutes to set up. I am a novice basebuilder at best so a competent base builder could probably create it more quickly. I certainly understand not wanting to put a lot of time into something that could potentially be wiped tomorrow, though. If mine gets wiped, c'est la vie. -

Brainstorm hasn't been wiped in over 4 years. I've had a SG base there that entire time. -
Vidiotmaps for Homecoming
AboveTheChemist replied to AboveTheChemist's topic in Tools, Utilities & Downloads
Between vidiotmaps and the other badge-related mods I maintain, I've spent a lot of time compiling badge data and if there were such an egregious error, I would have fixed it years ago. As Michiyo states, you've likely got an old vidiotmap install. Please re-read the top post, particularly the section on deleting old installations, and if you follow the instructions in that section I feel certain your troubles will vanish. According to the log kept by my predecessor, the Faultline and Echo: Faultline maps were updated to account for the new/moved badges over six years ago, on May 31, 2019. -
Vidiotmaps for Homecoming

While I am a huge fan of the City Mod Installer and highly recommend its use, I am not involved in its maintenance nor do I have the first clue about its inner workings. I recommend posting in the City Mod Installer thread, as that is the appropriate thread for your issue and you are far more likely to get a meaningful response there. -
I think this might actually be the counter for the Determined badge. If you are able, open your badges tab, choose 'Accolades' as the category, and scroll down about 80% (depending on how many badges you have). That 13/16 counter you mentioned should be down there in that general area. If you can post a cropped screenshot showing that counter and the badges above and below it, we can figure out which badge it is based on its position in the list.

Looks like it is from this post: https://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/58509-open-beta-patch-notes-for-july-6th-2025/#findComment-737698 part of which was quoted a bit further down that thread by CP in this post: https://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/58509-open-beta-patch-notes-for-july-6th-2025/#findComment-738599 If I try to quote it from the latter, the quote behaves as seen in the OP. If I quote from the former, it properly attributes the quote to Troo. My guess is that quoting from within another quote causes it to be attributed to the person that quoted and not the person that originally made the statement, if that makes sense. I tried rewriting that sentence about four times and that is about the least confusing as I can make it! Quoting directly seems to work fine, at least in my somewhat limited testing.

I've updated the popmenu and binds to reflect a relocated plaque in Kallisti Wharf. The updated files are available in the top post. If you are updating an existing installation, please follow the instructions in the Updating an existing installation section, as it is best to remove the old bind files and folders before updating them with the new set. If anyone notices any issues, please let me know.

ATC's Badge List PopMenu
AboveTheChemist replied to AboveTheChemist's topic in Tools, Utilities & Downloads
Updated (in top post) to adjust the thumbtack for one Kallisti Wharf Bicentennial plaque, per the July 08, 2025 patch notes, as well as some other minor updates. Full update log is in the top post. Please let me know if you notice any issues. -
Vidiotmaps for Homecoming
AboveTheChemist replied to AboveTheChemist's topic in Tools, Utilities & Downloads
I've updated both the City Mod Installer installation and the manual installation files in the top post to reflect some minor changes in location for one plaque and one day job marker in Kallisti Wharf, per the July 08, 2025 patch notes. The changes will likely be difficult to discern for most users, as the two markers each only moved by one pixel. If anyone finds anything in error on any of the maps, please let me know. -

[OPEN BETA] Patch Notes for July 6th, 2025
AboveTheChemist replied to The Curator's topic in [Open Beta] Patch Notes
I saw a suggestion in another thread that one copy to the open beta server (Brainstorm) via the beta character copy tool and check progress there without having to transfer between live servers. -
Vidiotmaps for Homecoming

That is a long-standing bug that has nothing to do with vidiotmaps. Even the stock game map is bugged. Last I heard it was being looked into. It's been reported multiple times on the forums, but here's an example that contains a decent amount of testing and information: https://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/34223-founders-falls-safeguard-reveal-and-vidiotmaps/ And here's where the team has mention it is being checked: https://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/55240-the-maps-in-coh-are-f-d-up/page/2/#findComment-697486 -
Thanks for the heads-up! I am checking to see if any other categories were reorganized and will update my mods (and Badger) accordingly.
