When War Witch edited the Hollows, she pulled out the official documentation on how hazard zones were supposed to be constructed and balanced, looked at Hollows 1.0 and declared it to be FAR in excess of the standard. Far. So I am grateful she turned it from a deathtrap to a good zone for grouping.
I actually want to hear more about this! Do you have a link or anything?
I searched around and I believe this is it: https://city-of-heroes.livejournal.com/2717339.html

The original Hollows were a blast- and made me pretty terrified of going into any hazard zone.

There's a tiny x under cancel changes you can hit. You can also close the game and it'll keep the changes too.

There's no reason to switch over to it right now- even if there are improvements to make it pull the files from a torrent or another source you'll have to re-download it anyway.
Even with those improvements in mind, if you already have the game running I don't see much need switching off of Tequila regardless though, small updates to the game files don't really need any fancy delivery method.

Will do when I get a chance; I'm just figuring things out myself and keeping track of them so I don't want to say anything authoritative until I get it 100% working.

Good news, I was able to get past my previous error. Posting it here before I forget. Got to the login screen but I haven't gotten anywhere past that yet. Found this post on reddit which lead me to the following full command:
./etoh-downloader && wine score -patchdir score -patchversion 2019.04.19 -auth 178.128.143.231 -noversioncheck

Thanks for this thread. I'll try and share the steps I've done so far- hopefully we can all put our heads together and come up with something that'll work for anyone looking for help.
I'm running Fedora 29 and I'm trying to use etoh-downloader instead of wine'ing the tequila launcher. The required packages listed seem to be for Debian, so I went ahead and installed the following instead:
sudo dnf install libcurl-devel libxml2-devel sudo dnf groupinstall "Development Tools"
(You may also need openssl-devel too- I already had that installed).
I ran into the same issue that this issue had and had to make a symbolic link myself via:
sudo ln -s /usr/include/libxml2/libxml/ /usr/include/libxml
I tried to compile but ran into another issue where my compiler said that TRUE and FALSE weren't defined, so I added these lines right below the #include lines in etoh-downloader.c :
#define TRUE 1 #define FALSE 0
After that I ran make and it compiled.
From here I need to get the game to work.
The guide here is where I'm trying my next steps:
I got the torrent from the magnet link and saved it to "~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/City of Heroes". I put etoh-downloader in the directory and ran it there and it seemed to have did what it needed to do.
Now I'm not so sure what to do. I don't use wine very often so I'm not sure I'm going in the right direction here. I did:
winetricks dinput8
as the Google doc suggests the dot net stuff is only needed for the tequila launcher. Next I ran:
./etoh-downloader && wine score.exe -renderthread 0
in the City of Heroes directory and it comes up with the loading bar and then the splash screen and immediately crashes.
I'll post more when I figure out more, but if anyone knows what I'm doing wrong here feel free to point me in the right direction!
Daily login rewards. It can be done, right?
