[Excelsior down for anyone else?]

So i get it devs want us to build characters on everlasting or reunion.  but the bigger question is, are our characters gone on the other servers.  Are the other servers permanently gone.  I am frEAKING OUT OVER HERE!!!!!!

[Base Raids?]

I'm not sure how much you may or may not remember about the original base raiding system, but the pathing and placement requirements were pretty strict. There's just no way our current building practices would be at all compatible with those requirements. We break those rules constantly, and that in turn would break the way the raiding system was designed to work. 

 

As I understand it, it's not just a matter of "Okay, this turret was turned upside down and half sunk into the floor to make the base for a telescope, so it's harder to hit". It's "This is in the wrong kind of room, with no power source, in an illegal and inaccessible position rendering the item/base/instance invalid, so let me crash in spectacular fashion because the raid system is not coded to handle that". 

Got it, crashing is a hard no.  damn base raids were such a good idea.  thanks for the replies.

[Base Raids?]

Yeah fair enough.  Certainly wouldnt want to ruin others fun.  What happens if you leave as is and allow base raiding.  Being my build experience is minor, I do understand what each of those "kiss goodbye options". 

 

But what I dont understand is why base raids wouldnt work as is.  So what a turret cant be touched.  Itd be hard and tahts kinda the fun of it.  Also if anyone else wanted to do it, there would have to be some kind of honor system when it comes to game breaking bugs.  That might be better than having a game feature sidelined forever.

[Base Raids?]

Now that bases are free to make and fix after mass destruction.  I would love to see this reinstated.  You could make a base raid only base.  Despite the bugs, I have fond memories of the villain SG I was in facing off against a seriously powered hero SG.  And thats when prestige meant something.  Just a thought.  Apologies if this is an oft mentioned topic that causes flame wars.  I would think if its not your cup of tea, you dont have to risk your base.

I've never seen the powexec_location command. However, if you want a macro to use recall friend on teammate number 1:

 

/macro TM1 "team_select 1 $$ powexec_name Recall Friend"

 

This will prompt you to choose a location with your mouse, it won't just teleport someone without a mouse click.

Ok so I cant get this working.  Only for team_select  1.  If i do 2, 3 , 6 , 7 nothing.  Nor if i dont enter a number.

 

/macro TM1 "team_select 1 $$ powexec_location 0:5 Recall Friend" This is how I imagine it.  Id like to setup my team 1-8 to say f1-f8.  So if someone is in trouble i can bring em home to safety.  But again I still need to workout selecting specific teamates.

 

Update I think i got it working.  is it possible to skip mm pets and only go for players?

just finished testing team tp on beta server.  powexec_location 0:50 "team teleport" works like a dream.  As did 90, 180 and 270.  thanks for the help everyone.  Cant decide how im gonna keybind it yet.  but I think the concept will work well.

My notes on powexec_location: 

/bind shift+f, powexec_location target Rain Of Fire"

loc options: me, target, or [direction:distance]. Direction is 0-360 representing degrees of a circle, distance is 0-max in CoH world units (feet).  

Min is 0, any idea what max is?  Or whats highest youve tried.

 Thanks so much for this.  I hope I can use binds and macros to make TP ok in outside or large maps.  and Ill use ninja run for the rest.

any chance you would share the tp macros?  something i can build off.  sounds like you are doing exactly what im wanting to do.

 

How is it?  i figure i can still use sprint for close up work.  Or P2W, ninja run.  But I want team TP on my MM for a concept.  basically TP everywhere

Here is an example of the powexec_location in a macro:

 

/macro_image "BanishedPantheon_Pain_WorldOfPain" "Burn" "powexec_location forward:5 bonfire"

 

This is the macro I use to drop a Bonfire patch 5 (units? feet? quatloos?) in front of me. "Burn" is the 'hover over' name of the macro image. You should be able to adjust it to your taste for your power.

 

 

Since there is a forward 5, i wonder if there is a right 5, back 5 and left 5?

 

Basically id like to use TP team on my W, A , S, and D keys for movement (or something simliar).

Thanks,  Was looking for something that would allow fast recall friend.  I know for example that "powexec_location me Tar Patch" works awesome.  and that I can replace me with a number to have it execute a certain number of feet in front of me.  So I hope (or maybe someone will chime in and let me know im on the right track).

 

What I wasnt sure of is selecting a teammate.  Thanks for providing that info its certainly pointing me in the right direction.  

 

Also thanks for the guide.  Looks exactly like what i needed.

Sorry a few questions here trying to find out if this will work before I take the powers!

 

1. Id like to be teleport team to a key and have it TP me a certain number of feet the direction im facing.

 

powexec_location 50 Team Teleport

 

Would this work?  Could I do it with say arror keys and have it not do direction Im facing but ahead, left right and backwards X number of feet?  

 

2. powexec_location me recall friend

 

Would it work with recall friend?  Maybe even adding a teamate to the macro?  powexec_location me recall friend TEAMTATE 1

 

3. Also where are the macros stored in COH files?  Ie like I looked at keybinds.txt and dont see my macros.  Wondering if I can load custom macros easier than one at a time.
