It happens a lot. On my initial survey and testing, I come up with zeros. Then, I scratch my head and think, "It could be anything!" Then I ask at the forums... and wait. But it's IMPATIENCE that drives me to continue to look around at random things until I land on something that might be a clue. In this case, it was the file names of some images at the wiki... crazily enough. LOL But of course! Sharing knowledge is what I'm all about. And thanks. 🙂

Already added to wiki! 🙂 https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Macro_image_(Slash_Command)

There were rumors... that Paragon studios had planned on bringing Statesman back, but not the real Statesman. He's dead. Emperor Cole, living in Primal Earth, decides to take up the hero's mantle...

Nevermind! I figured them out! Hero - Align_Status_Hero Villain - Align_Status_Villain Vigilante - Align_Status_Vigilante Rogue - Align_Status_Rogue And the Praetorian ones: Resistance - Align_Status_Resistance Loyalist - Align_Status_Loyalist There are also Tips variations that have a slightly different design and are a tiny bit larger. Hero - Tips_Hero_Small Villain - Tips_Villain_Small Vigilante - Tips_Vigilante_Small Rogue - Tips_Rogue_Small And the Praetorian ones: Resistance Members - Tips_Resistance_Small Loyalist Members - Tips_Loyalist_Small

Does anyone know the internal names for the 4 alignment icons: hero, vigilante, rogue, and villain? So we can use them in macros?

I really like the icons you put in your popmenu! They're nice. The idea for the popmenu is also nice. It will save a lot of space! A couple thoughts... Some accolade powers have different internal names depending on if they're from the villain side or the hero side. For example, the Vanguard Medal has an equivalent by a different name, Megalomaniac, and its internal name is "temporary_powers.accolades.megalomaniac". Some players might have Megalomaniac and some might have the Vanguard Medal power. Are you planning to have your popmenu use both the hero and villain versions? Nevermind. For both the hero and villain equivalents to appear, you just have to change your alignment back and forth, then they both pop up in the power list. Cool. https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Accolade_Powers P.S. This should work for the Architect Comlink...

Thanks for the answers guys. I vaguely remember one player doing something in game, and for the life of me I can't remember was it was. So I know there's yet another way to do it in game. Frustrating.

If we were talking to a computer illiterate person who knows nothing about file paths... what would be some ways for them to find out? I know 2, but am wondering if there is another way to do it from in game? Here's the ones I know... In the Homecoming Launcher, click Settings and the install directory will be shown right there in that first page. In game, type /bindloadfile \ in the chat line and look at the generated error. It tells you the location of the default or working folder C:\games\homecoming\settings\live\ but it also shows you the installation directory C:\games\homecoming\ if you follow the path to the left. Is there another way, or a better way to find out the install directory while in game?

Because you shared this with all of us, I added what I hope will be a little clarification to the wiki page. Hopefully no one else will go down that rabbit hole now.

How would you go about getting volunteer artists for Homecoming? Is it hopeless?

Yes, of course I agree. You know now that I think about it… One place homecoming might be able to get some volunteer artists is by advertising with digital art schools to give students some work experience on using 3-D modeling and all the other art related stuff that the game needs. Many young artists are very talented. Maybe offer internships?

I’ve never read the contract homecoming has with NCsoft, so it’s kind of hard to say one way or another. Many Non-profits are allowed to hire and pay their people money. But Homecoming? I’d guess probably not but who knows? I do know that there are people that are “agents” or members designated officially as part of the organization. So in a way, they have employees but they’re volunteers. That said, I said nothing about hiring employees and compensating them with money. I guess I could be more specific to rule out different Interpretations and simply say “Homecoming needs more volunteer artists More than anything els.”

Maybe something in this thread will help?

Something else to consider… Cable Internet is SHARED among the people in your community. That means the limited bandwidth gats smaller and smaller with each person transferring data through it. It might be that several people in your neighborhood are uploading a lot of large files at the same time you’re accessing it. It might be they’re doing it all the time. maybe. However, if your tech knows there is a technical solution, then maybe he’s right? Maybe. But yeah, if multiple people are experiencing it , the problem is on the company’s end. They probably should upgrade their hub/node.

More than anything, I think Homecoming needs more 3D digital artists to design special effects for powers, costumes, buildings, etc. Without a large team of designers, what you can do is severely limited and you're forced to use the same effects and items that you currently have. That said, I loved the storm power set. It was innovative and worked by having one power affect others and visa versa. Not a lot of extra special effects that we haven't seen, but the way the powers worked was different from previous power sets.

Hi, just a quick bug report... When Shadow Fall is on, no Flyposes will work (emote flypose2) until Shadow Fall is turned off and turned on again. Other powers prevent flyposes from working too, since this has happened on other characters but I only just now figured out it was because of another power blocking the animations. I'll keep my eye open for other powers that interfere.

You'll want to use /powexec_location for your escape binds/macros. You can use a rotating text bind and prefixes to activate both powers with a single key (or click on a single macro twice). See https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/The_Incomplete_and_Unofficial_Guide_to_/bind I've always found activating a "teleport mode" when traveling across great distances much easier to deal with Teleport. I use a rotating text bind. You press G to activate teleport mode, then G again to deactivate it. This allows you to just click with the left mouse button without holding down the SHIFT key. 🙂 tpoff.txt g "conprint Teleport completed.$$powexec_toggleoff hover$$bind_load_file /binds/tpon.txt" lshift+g "tell $name, Hovering...$$powexec_toggleon hover$$bind_load_file /binds/tpon.txt" lbutton "powexec_name teleport" tpon.txt g "conprint Teleporting...$$unbind lbutton$$powexectoggleoff sprint$$powexec_toggleon hover$$bind_load_file /binds/tpoff.txt" lshift+g "powexec_name hover" lbutton " " Before Homecoming lengthened the hover time in the teleport power, players often took the Hover power to make Teleport easier. You used to fall from the air in 1-3 secs after teleporting. You can remove the lines referencing Hover, or keep them. Don't think they'll hurt even if you don't have Hover. The SHIFT+LBUTTON bind is also a very good one to have, or you could bind Combat Teleport to SHIFT+LBUTTON instead. I bound Teleport Target to CTRL+LBUTTON.

Try https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Uiscale_(Slash_Command) I put my binds in a popmenu, and if you want you can just copy and paste the commands into a macro or keybind... or use them in a popmenu as is.

Then use /wdw_save_file to save the settings for the current windows, then use /wdw_load_file to load them in when you want. I also save and load in my option settings at the same time using /option_save_file (you don't really need chat settings for the UI but I load it in anyway). Other than the wdw settings commands (and also Options commands), the other commands I found useful are: /screen for resolution (I.e. screen size), /uiscale, and /fullscreen. The working directory or default folder for using a relative path at Homecoming is usually C:\Games\Homecoming\Settings\Live. This is where all the default settings files are. If you add the saved files you want to this folder, when you use /wdw_load_file all you have to do is type the name of the file (rather than the whole path starting with C:\...

It might be worth it to download LaunchCat again and reinstall it manually, especially if it's a newer version.

I like your changes! So... it's weird... even though they are correct... the terms "Nautical Transport" and "Aerial Transport" rub me the wrong way. Meanwhile, "Sea Transports" and "Air Transports" seem nice. Not sure why. It might just be me. 😉 Definitely make the columns for the ferries, ship, and submarine stand out as separate. Right now it all seems to blend in together and it's hard to tell where one begins and the other ends. You can do it a zillion different ways... make some of the cell border lines invisible, thicken some of the borders, change the background color for each column (could do something like light gray, white, light gray, white or just make each column a different background color, etc. Otherwise, FANTASTIC!

The guide is now up to date. Nearly all of the original guide was retained. I added a few things but refrained from adding too much to keep the guide simple and straightforward for beginners. https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/The_Incomplete_and_Unofficial_Guide_to_/bind That said, if there is anything any of you think should be added please let me know.

This is why I use a bind on SHIFT+M that toggles the map very big or very small. I keep the map open all the time, but the tiny map. Here's the bind: Re-size Map Bind /bind SHIFT+M "/bindloadfile c:\[directory location]\map1.txt" Ever want to keep the map up on a screen at all times? Or wished you could make the map smaller? Or flip between a super small and large map with ease? Well this is the bind! It's a text bind, so you'll need to do a little preparation. It works by pressing the SHIFT and M key together. Press it once and it becomes super small. Press it again, and the map window is reset to its previous size. You'll need to click the blue dot on the map window to detatch it from the Navigation window first. It's an AWESOME bind! map1.txt shift+m "window_scale map 0.65" map2.txt shift+m "window_scale map 2" If you don't like the rotating text bind setup, you could always put the first command string on SHIFT+M and the second command string on CTRL+M or something like that.
