Don't Tease! *runs to check patch notes*

I should probably start wearing my glasses at home. I swear to god that said: "PK's Butt Force Fields" At first I was like :P and then I was like "hmmm...."

So based on this, then when you run the vm_mappack_i23.exe you want it aimed at that folder (mentioned above). This will create a folder called data so that you end up with C:\City of Heroes\data that contains the original vidiots maps. Then you need to unzip the moremaps4u.zip file normally in whatever folder you choose as it's going to create a folder called moremaps4u. Inside this new folder will be the added maps housed within a folder called....data. You can then simply drag that folder into the C:\City of Heroes folder as is. Whenever it asks about replacing files/folders tell it yes. Now you can start the game and the files will be correctly installed!

Two things: 1) False positive, you need to whitelist your installation folder/tequila in the AV 2) Please look at the Installation guides as it's HEAVILY advised to be installing the game into say c\games\COH due to how windows tries to protect itself and your files

Before or After the whole zone of ranged come looking for you and then realize they Still can't target you in their rage? :p

This has a new thread/sticky now for those that come back here BTW.

+1, and definitely a code thing as mentioned..once or twice. :p If they get around to rebuilding the codebase from scratch, then I'll bet this is something they'd manage to do once it's upgraded to something more pliable than C.

I'll take you one further and suggest that ALL the contacts START with being able to call AFTER you've first met them.

Well Actually, (probably from reading the related forum posting) I've been using the newer (?) link for a long time now, but I also don't seem to be logging in when they're having server issues for the most part. http://www.savecoh.com/manifest.xml

I stopped in just to post that...the difference being you actually included the reference. :p

//we REALLY need a non-game general group Ok, so I can't help the group trying to troubleshoot CoX on Mac because my MBP has been offline for a while. I decided to pull it back out and attempt to rebuild it, but I've a few issues starting with, I need to create a bootable MacOS USB using my archives and a Windows device. I can't use my PPC to make a Dmg that my Intel Mac can read. I didn't think to convert these (misunderstanding of methods) as I downloaded them from the App store, so all I have are them in App format. I've come across a couple methods, but they all require the terminal and a working Mac. Some important backstory, this is a 2012 Non-Retina MBP that has been maxed out in upgrades. RAM is topped off at 16Gb. The OS drive is an Evo 860 500Gb that I was splitting in two for Bootcamp, but that drive is all but RAW right now. I'd pulled the optical out and made it an external. In its place went a 2Tb Seagate (again, split in half) for my Data drive. There ARE Time Machine backups on the drive, but even when I Do get into the recovery mode it refuses to use them to restore the primary drive. I've pulled a clone of the apps from that drive, so I'm not entirely concerned with data loss. That and I already had a copy of my licenses. So why am I in this situation? Sometime late last year / early this year the keyboard started not acting right. Sometimes it didn't want to type some/all letters. Thinking it was an update issue, I rolled back the Windows OS, tried reinstalling the Bootcamp drivers, but nothing helped 100%. Gradually it seemed as if it was affecting the MacOS side and eventually got to the point that I couldn't consistently use Mac boot command keystrokes. I even pulled out my Mac USB keyboard, but after a while even IT behaved the same way. I 'think' a PRAM reset worked at first, but eventually either it wasn't resetting (keys not working) or it no longer worked in general. At this point the OS drive is unpartitioned, the Data drive is intacted, but the device gives a DOS style "please insert a valid boot disk" type message. I'm guessing that's because it sees the split drive and somehow the UEFI/SMC is messed up, so it thinks it's a PC right now. I'm hoping it's software as I don't really wanna replace the keyboard right now. IDK if I can do it myself (yet, need to find guide on iFixit), but I'm not lacking in experience nor tools for the job.

Did you happen to post a staff/regen build that was heavy on stamina yesterday? :p

Possible leftover/damaged registry entries overwritten by the reinstall.

The reloadgfx command wouldn't help here would it?

I think I read elsewhere on here that some computers (Dell?) don't like the DVI as the primary.

Wait, that's a TP-2-Base command?!? :O

Yeah...I've been kinda sorta using it since oh say Beta (Win3-Win95) when it was on floppies and still owned by Jasc. :p

So your helper server is a Tool...well that explains a lot. ;)

Eh, I'm more bitter about the fact that we've been having persistent Globals issues. The likely reason people Stay in Help or LFG. Nothing pisses you off like not being able to talk to others just because you entered a building. Now I haven't played in a bit, so if this has been FIXED, then I'll be forever grateful!

Well if it Helps to understand Why...You have to have something else running/open to Alt-Tab over to. The desktop alone may not be enough to Alt-Tab out to.

Also, if you feel adventurous, then you could go into the Tequila\PLAYERNAME folder and edit the playerslot.txt file. I believe the pages have 10 alts per, so keep that in mind when editing. Harder and easier to mess up, but sometimes the dragging flips pages too fast for me. Also note that if you leave an empty slot and then create a new alt they'll go into that slot (causing you to move that alt). It happens to me a bit because each page is a different SG/theme.

Curious as to why your builds weren't being stored in your documents folder as that's the default method this app has always had?

Possibly dumb question, so you're still talking about a local app that talks to a server OR a local app that later sends you results data?

This, summer is in full swing (about to end), so those who Can are enjoying RL or adulting with their tiny ones.

"Freeware" if you can get an old (make sure it's clean) version of the app, but I've been using the PaintShop Pro editor's built-in screenshot function. It works independent of the OS/game and will ALWAYS work so long as you don't bind a power to the same keys (if you did, then you'd get like a billion screenshots at random :p). I've never had an issue with it and it's nice because then I can edit them with a Photoshop like app. ^.^
