I will have to hunt through the archived forums, if I recall correctly there's a way to modify your character roster text file to keep them in order. Or perhaps PK or or Zombie Man may recall and pop in here with the info. :)

Anyone do costume designs by request?
Oubliette_Red replied to Enku367's topic in General Discussion
There used to be a thread like this back in the old forums, in the Fun & Games section. Along with the weekly Palette Costume Contest those two threads were a lot of fun. I didn't know of Taskmaster but it was fun trying to figure him out with what's available. -
Biggest Mistake you Ever Made in COX
Oubliette_Red replied to Marine X's topic in General Discussion
Confusing Scirocco during an STF, it was funny as hell to see him pound on Ghost Widow, but it also caused the tank to lose agro and a near team wipe. Oops... <.< -

I have a spreadsheet of sounds that Zombie Man provided a link to back in some other thread. I think it's small enough to attach. All_the_sounds.ods

Thanks folks. ^.^ Let me see if attachments work. I have no idea how big Taskmaster is, I made him close to 7' tall so if the file is used, may want to alter height. Taskmaster.costume -

This is the closest I could get. The image didn't provide details for his legs, and most of the ones I found online had his legs relatively unarmoured. There's also a sword option that looks like a light sabre and one that's full-on flame, including hilt and pommel. -
That's always been the issue, there are many sounds used by PCs that are not obvious when it comes to names, especially if it uses multiple file sounds. Makes it a royal pain. Thanks PK! I'm sure people will find that helpful. :)

\sounds\ogg folder is where you would put your replacement sounds, in their respective folders. Not sure if I'm missing something or if it's differences caused by Tequila. The above address seems to be where the game installs sounds, but the files and folders are different. The folder "Frontend", for instance, does not contain a "Recharge" file. Where should I be creating the new location for silenced sounds, given the above path? Also, thanks for taking the time to do all this. Great community. I have Tequila installed and had to make the sounds\ogg folders myself. The game's built-in sounds are located in the .pigg files within the pigg folder. When you have the same named files within the sounds\ogg\etc folders, the game will look at those instead. So if you wish to replace the 'Recharge' sound or silence it, you need to create an .ogg sound file and name it 'Recharge.ogg' then create a folder named 'frontend' within the ogg folder and place your new Recharge.ogg file in there. So your directory should look like: data\sounds\ogg\frontend\recharge.ogg

Share your Puns/amusing Character Names

Is this a sound it makes when it hits, or makes regardless? If you have an SG where you have base edit rights, there's a way you can verify the sound. 1. In chat type /sg_music <filename>2. In place of <filename> you can check one of these two files I found for Cutting beam. BR_CuttingBeam_Hit_01 or BR_CuttingBeam_Attack_01When you enter your base you should hear the SFX play once. You may need to turn up the SFX volume in Options. FYI: This method will change it for everyone entering the base. But it's much easier than repeatedly changing sound files in the game folders and logging in to verify. I think you want to 'Hit' sound, it's a little extra sound on the end that's kind of low and growly compared to the shot itself. If you of them is it, you can create an alternate sound or just silence file, rename it to the appropriate file and drop it into ogg\Powers folder.

Okay, finally got it. Even verified on Test. Description: Dull Pain activation Folder name: Powers File name: regen8c.ogg

I believe it's the same sound as the healing power the Freakshow use. I asked a couple of friends that play or have played tanks and was told it was the same as Reconstruction. I built a Invuln tank on Justin just to hear it and the two seem to sound the same to me. Give this a try: \V_Powers\reconstruction.ogg

Try these: Powers\invince2.ogg V_Powers\Nullify_Pain_01.ogg Neither one worked :( Then it's likely using the sfx for some other power's ability, or one that is used for multiple similar abilities.

Help: a specific challenging goal: complete all contacts
Oubliette_Red replied to JusticeBowler's topic in General Discussion
Even if you are not introduced to a new contact, you can open your contacts and click on 'Search' for a new contact. That should get you new contacts within your level range. Just remember to turn off your XP. -
First off, this community typically just yells out for groups with the min level requirements. The whole concept you bring of 'asking for competent players' is simply not one that is seen here a lot. Like any grouping of humans, if you don't like the group make up, etc., dropping and reforming is an option. Kicking a player out of a group is not something that is common to me, but I understand that's how some people view the world and I know sometimes players are activly trying to troll a group in some way. What I am trying to convey is that taking any of these actions, in this community, over a player 'not DPSing enough' as a kickable/shunnable/non-grouping issue is generally against the grain. Not the idea of kicking a teammate that is not working well with the team, but the idea of removing a player over DPS, in this game, where DPS means jack-shit, simply runs counter to the spirit of this game for most of it's players. I rail against Hall Monitors and Busy Bodies of all types. The community around this game, as much as they disagree on specifics, is based on people freely grouping, playing the game relaxing. The DPS meters and the uses you outline from the get-go, run couter to the general nature of this community. This community sees kicking players over perceived lack of DPS as a jerk move and will treat anyone promoting that idea as a jerk for that reason. I have known many gamers personally that have the attitude on this you do, right now, that played CoH for a while and realized what I am talking about...this game does not work like FF or WoW or Invictus or Fortnite. Also, these same gamers, now 10+ years later, play more like I do and the CoH crowd does and no longer views 'playing an MMO' as something that they should working toward becoming more competent at to impress other players so they can get groups. You are entitled to your opinion/outlook on DPS meters and the playstyle around them. We are entitled equally to have differeing opinions that run directly counter to yours. Data and experience show me that the gaming style you advocate with DPS meters is not welcome in CoH. +1 inf

Damage meters in CoH are about as necessary as the Holy Trinity.

I want a new mouse, looking for suggestions.
Oubliette_Red replied to MunkiLord's topic in Off-Topic
I always like the Logitech G series mice. But lately the base seems to have gotten narrower and narrower, especially where my thumb rests. feels like I'm constantly trying to pinch my thumb and pinky together. Really annoying that so many have gone this route, really cramps my hand. Currently using a Corsair M65 RGB, still not exactly what I'm looking for but it fits comfortably which is my #1 priority over buttons. -
You can do a "/getglobalname <character name>" to find out. That being said, I couldn't get my signature name on Torchbearer due to someone snagging the name before I could get on, so I can definitely understand your feelings. Sorry to hear about that Snow Globe. I know that a friend from the old days had the same issue and messaged the current owner of a name and managed to get it back. So worth a try, never know unless you ask. :)
