I checked, I had a "backup" of the mnu file called BadgeSetList_20241214.mnu. I removed it and it works now. Thanks!

I turn on the computer. Nothing loaded yet. I open CoH Modding Tool, and do a "Refresh" (top menu option). I go to "Settings". I notice I have "DO NOT Check for existing data overrides" unchecked. I look to see if there are any updates, there are none. I "Uninstall" the Badge Set List popmenu, and re-Install it. The top left frame says: Author: AboveTheChemist Version: 1.4.7 Published: 2025-07-08 Category: Popmenus And the bottom right frame : Checking for updates gamePath: C:\Games\Homecoming dontCheckforData: True All profiles have '-assetpath assets\mods' Uninstalled Badge Set List popmenu successfully Attempting to download file: badge_set_list.pigg badge_set_list.pigg Installed successfully. I close the Coh Modding Tool and start the HC Launcher. I log in to the same character I was on last night. I write in the command line: /popmenu badgesetlist + Enter Same results as the last screenshot, no new Exploration badges for KW. *sighs* And the content of my data folder:

I am using the BadgeSetList from the CoH Modder, but I can only see "On The Shoulder of Giants" on the Kallisti Wharf Exploration badges. Is that normal?

Noted. I've received similar feedback from other French players, and I tend to agree.

Yep, like Michiyo said, I agreed to volunteer (... me and my big mouth...) on this project. I am a native French speaker, but I only played sporadically on the old Vigilance French server, so if any former Vigilance player wants to give me a hand, it would be appreciated - especially when it comes to getting the names of characters (ex, Ghost Widow = "Veuve fantome"?) and concepts (Task Force = "Groupe de travail"? (Beurk on that one, I used "Force de Frappe") right.

It was not without hardship, but we got it done

Happy 21st, City of Heroes! Here, have a drink on me...

All your servers are belong to us.. Seriously, welcome!

(Windows 10, French language enabled by default, game installed in the default location C:\Games\Homecoming, accessed thru HC Launcher) 1. For testing purposes, I saved a costume to file and then exited. 2. I restarted the client and tried to reload the same file on an previously unused slot « Failed to Load : Could not find a match for parts (13,Right Weapon) . Costume Creator may not have access to costume parts. » The preview does show the weapon I had selected earlier (Legacy Merc. Assault Weapon) 3. If I press « Attempt Costume Fix,» the weapon reverts to the default (Legacy Assault Rifle). 4. Once I’ve corrected the weapon selection, every other costume I load during the same session keeps the correct weapon - as long as I don't close the client. This happens on every slot on this Mastermind. I have reports of similar issues from other players and also on Masterminds. It's more an annoyance than a major problem, but it would be appreciated if you could look at this!

Thanks for the heads up!

Added a [[File]] link myself, seems to work

Another tweak I made (and this trick is good for anyone dual-booting between Windows and Linux): I already had a working install of the Homecoming Launcher in Windows partition, so I replaced several folders (accounts, architect, costumes, data, logs, powercust, screenshots) in my Linux install by symlinks pointing to the corresponding folders in my Windows install. Now I have access to all my custom files (costumes, popmenus) no matter where I play.

I successfully installed City of Heroes on Linux Mint 20.1 "Ulyssa" (Cinnamon desktop), but it's not for the faint of heart... I did the whole update and upgrade after the initial instal, then installed the NVidia drivers (460.39). After rebooting, I got an warning popup stating that "your system is currently running without video hardware acceleration". After much googling, the fix I found was to remove a conflicting xorg driver (sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg-video-fbdev), which solved that issue. Linux Mint sees the Wine packages as "wine-stable" and not "winehq-stable". *beats forehead against wall* But I think it was worth it. System: Distro: Linux Mint 20.1 Ulyssa, base: Ubuntu 20.04 focal, desktop: Cinnamon 4.8.6 CPU: Intel Core i5 760 Graphics: NVIDIA GK208B [GeForce GT 710] ,driver: nvidia v: 460.39, display: 1600x900~60Hz

A bit late to the party, but I retried an install using Lutris and the procedure listed in the OP on a more recent Linux Mint distro (Linux Mint 20 Ulyana 64-bit, desktop MATE 1.24.0), and it worked. For those who prefer Linux Mint to Ubuntu (like me).

Bumping this because I have a similar issue: This character (Beatriz da Fontaine, on Everlasting) had the Rapid Response Member Accolade before I27, but does not have the Rapid Response Portal in her power list (the option is accordingly greyed out in Fast Travel). Do I have to "earn charges" by logging out near a SG portal to make the Accolade power appear ?

From when I was dabbling a lot more with Linux... Gentoo is NOT for casual Linux users. In my book, the only distro harder to install is http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/. I tried to do the steps with a 32-bit version of Linux Mint (19.3 Trina), except the nvidia drivers the distro uses only go up to version 390. I could install the drivers from the nvidia website, but since I wanted to test to see if someone with limited computer knowledge could install this on a "potato", I stopped there. To make sure I did not have a "dud" for a video card (it's a low-cost one, but works OK on my regular Windows 10 set up), I did a separate install of Ubuntu 20.04 64 bit. It had nvidia drivers version 450 right out of the "box", so it works there.

Tequila and the HC launcher are two self-contained, independent programs. Removing Tequila will not break anything (I did it once to switch to Island Rum for Windows before switching back), you just won't be able to use it to launch the game - which is okay if you're satisfied with the new HC launcher. Furthermore they used two completely different set of folders, if you install the HC launcher you end up with a 2nd install altogether. If you alternate between the twos you might need to manually sync all the "player created" files like the costumes, the logs and the AE missions. tldr; stick with the HC launcher if it works for you, you can ditch Tequila and the old install later.

A sub-forum for bios.... sure, why not? But, not to take anything from Hyper's suggestion (Hey, Hyper! Long time no see!), @Mimiru is hosting a RP wiki (alongside her "Unofficial Homecoming Wiki") at https://fbsa.cityofheroes.dev, for those who might want something more elaborate (and time-consuming) than plain ol' text-only bios. I know, wiki editing is an acquired taste, and not for the faint of heart...

Fooled around setting up the HC Launcher in Linux on a VM (VirtualBox 6.1). I used a 32 bit Linux distribution (in case some currently XP users would want to try on an older machine): Linux Mint 19.3 "Tricia" with Xfce desktop It works as intended. The game itself... might be slow as molasses depending on the host machine (I run a fairly decent desktop and it was kinda slow even after I upped the default settings in VirtualBox).

Rest in Peace, hero.

Thank you for the answer. Oh well. Deleted the previous install of the new Launcher. Switched to Tequila for this test, it installed and asked me if I wanted to move files. It did move *most* of them - but that's on me: I have so many costumes, AE files, etc. that I keep "_storage" sub-folders for those I don't use normally. Those I moved myself. Moved the "screenshots" folder as was mentioned earlier in the thread. The relocation of bind load files from data/ to settings/live/ might take a while to get used to. Thankfully, just putting something like "/bind_load_file nomelee.txt" still work. Oddly I could not find the "PlayerCreatedSouvenirClues.txt" file anywhere. I could copy it back, but I'm unsure where to put it.

Installed and run successfully. * Avast ran several scans, 1 on install, 1 when I clicked "Accept", 1 when after that, until it offered to whitelist the game. * Since I use Island Rum for Windows (for reasons) I did not get the prompt to transfer files from my existing install over the the new one. Joy. What would useful is a simple "What goes where" guide between the old install directory format and the new install directory format, for those of us who will have to move things manually (I can guess most of it from the deep dive post).

We have something similar: either the old Virtueverse wiki (www.virtueverse.net) or the newer FBSA wiki (https://fbsa.cityofheroes.dev) which is maintained by @Mimiru

I'm not in charge (just a loudmouth...), but I would have no objection to that.

Sent you a PM
