page 3 [OPEN BETA] Patch Notes for December 5th, 2025
AboveTheChemist replied to The Curator's topic in [Open Beta] Patch Notes
That is how I read it as well. I just tested it on Brainstorm by auto-leveling to 50. I was granted 39,149,000 XP. Level 50 used to require (per the wiki Experience page) 39,149,119 XP, so a difference of 119 XP. As noted, a negligible change. -
Copies of City of Heroes Promotional Origin Art?
AboveTheChemist replied to BlackSpectre's topic in General Discussion
I am not familiar with the specific images you are after but if you can post an example or two I will look for them the next time I am in the piggs. I'll probably be in there digging around this weekend looking for some other stuff and can get them. EDIT: Nevermind, I see the wiki page you set up. I'll see if I can find those files in the piggs. -

Yes, and I will post an update in this thread when I am done. -
Winter event gift maps
AboveTheChemist replied to AboveTheChemist's topic in Tools, Utilities & Downloads
Seasonal bump for the holiday event, if anyone needs an in-game map to aid in finding presents. It does temporarily overwrite vidiotmaps, but it can easily be uninstalled once you've had your fill of presents. -

Updated (in top post) to add twelve new i28p3 badges per the i28p3 patch notes. Full update log is in the top post. Please let me know if you notice any issues. -
Update Kallisti map to show where mobs are located
AboveTheChemist replied to DrRocket's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
I haven't had the chance to add the critter notation to the Kallisti Wharf vidiotmaps yet, so even the latest vidiotmaps will be missing that info. I don't have an estimate on when that might happen. -
City Mod Installer (Released)
AboveTheChemist replied to Michiyo's topic in Tools, Utilities & Downloads
Hmm, that is really odd then. The screenshot you posted is of a really old version of that map which predates any work I have done on vidiotmaps. Looking at the update log from the previous maintainer of vidiotmaps, the map you have is at least older than May 2014 which is when the Park Stroller plaques and the prison break event were added to that map. I've checked the vidiotmaps pigg available via the modder and it is the current version, so I am at a complete loss to be honest. The only thing I can suggest is a reinstall of vidiotmaps, either via CoH modder or by manually downloading the pigg from the CoH modder site and pasting it in the appropriate folder (installation instructions are available at the link I posted previously). Otherwise, there must be some older version of vidiotmaps on your machine that your CoH install is using. -
tracker Badger - CoH Badge Tracker Website
AboveTheChemist replied to KeyboardKitsune's topic in Badges
I can't give an exact ETA, but it may be a couple of weeks or more. The last I heard, the owner of the site is having to re-write portions of the underlying code to bring it up to date, meaning the badge data updates for i28p3 (which have already been submitted) won't go live until the code is updated. -
City Mod Installer (Released)
AboveTheChemist replied to Michiyo's topic in Tools, Utilities & Downloads
At first glance I would guess you have an old data folder installation hanging around. Head here: https://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/37216-vidiotmaps-for-homecoming/ and follow the instructions in the Removing/Deleting Old Installations. And, assuming you are a fellow Eagles fan, go birds! -
Vidiotmaps for Homecoming
AboveTheChemist replied to AboveTheChemist's topic in Tools, Utilities & Downloads
Go to the top post of this thread at this link and expand the section on Installation. There are manual install instructions there, and a link to the top post of the City Modder thread if you choose to install that way. The top post of the City Modder thread has instructions for its use. Based on your post above my guess is that you are skipping the launch parameter step, which is covered in both places I mentioned. -
That's the scheduled weekly maintenance. According to discord the down time should last another hour or so.

tracker Badger - CoH Badge Tracker Website
AboveTheChemist replied to KeyboardKitsune's topic in Badges
Off the top of my head, delete the character out of Badger if you created it before parsing the log. You can also try manually adding one badge then parsing. Other than that, I'd recommend reading through the thread to see what helped when this has come up before. The parser sometimes has its gremlins. -
Halloween event GM spawn maps
AboveTheChemist replied to AboveTheChemist's topic in Tools, Utilities & Downloads
I've updated both the City Mod Installer installation and the manual installation files in the top post to include updated Atlas Park, Kallisti Wharf, and Mercy Island maps. With regard to the Peregrine Island spawn point at or near -1612.6 95.7 -4182.7, I tested for weeks on Brainstorm last year and never saw a GM spawn there. Michiyo was kind enough to confirm that the spawn point file that I pulled the spawn points from was the correct one, so a GM should spawn at that point. I will continue to check that location throughout the Halloween event, but if anyone happens to spot a GM there to confirm that spawn, feel free to share that info here. If anyone notices any issues, please let me know! -
Visual aid for zone explore badges completed?
AboveTheChemist replied to Jacktar's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
These are interesting suggestions and I fully support them, but there isn't much in there that is currently feasible within a popmenu, to the best of my knowledge. The color change idea is a no-go for sure. As BrandX mentioned, you could probably build some functionality based around the zone exploration accolade rather than the individual zone exploration badges, because I think each zone with eight badges has a corresponding accolade, but I am not 100% sure. Still, that would only partially do what you wanted it to do, I think. Perhaps one day there might be functionality added to popmenus that would make more of your ideas implementable. -
DEVS: Can you figure out a way to get this bind to work?
AboveTheChemist replied to BlackSpectre's topic in Help & Support
Sadly he did not. He posted a few examples but those were all command line, not from within a bind/macro/popmenu. Here they are in case anything can be learned from them (notes are Faultline's): Probably a shot in the dark but did you try closing the color tag like you would with normal HTML? -
DEVS: Can you figure out a way to get this bind to work?
AboveTheChemist replied to BlackSpectre's topic in Help & Support
To be fair, it was Faultline that posted the full list of tags in the closed beta discord, and Vanden ran with them. And to quote Faultline from same regarding the nature of the tags "it's not HTML, it's a bastard thing of uglyness". Here's the full list of tags, in case any are not included on the wiki (as quoted from Faultline, including the notes at the bottom): -
DEVS: Can you figure out a way to get this bind to work?
AboveTheChemist replied to BlackSpectre's topic in Help & Support
Here's how I load it in from a keybind file: KEYNAME "conprint "your text here"" You might try throwing the binds into a file and loading them in that way. -
In the chat bar, please enter the following command: /settitle 1418 and report back (copy/paste or cropped screenshot is best) the response that appears in the chat window.

Vidiotmaps for Homecoming
AboveTheChemist replied to AboveTheChemist's topic in Tools, Utilities & Downloads
Michiyo nailed the Cimerora issue, and the FF issue is server-side and not something I can fix. It's not as you describe, rather it is an issue with the minimap in that zone. The issue appears regardless of whether one has vidiotmaps installed or not. Last I heard it was being looked into. -
Ability to Access AH in SG Base
AboveTheChemist replied to Renatos1023's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
Don't hold your breath on this one. The AH is only accessible in world zones, not missions or bases. I think this is because a copy of the AH database has to be loaded into memory for each zone in which it is accessible, so making it available in bases would mean loading many, many more copies of the database and bog down the servers. That is the basic explanation anyway, the link below seems to have a more in-depth explanation. https://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/17002-let-ah-work-inside-base/#findComment-187032 This gets requested often (or at least used to) so you can probably find other threads discussing it if you want to dig for more info. -
That is the name release policy working as intended. You can claim an eligible name on a new character, but you can't rename an existing character to that same name. There is a workaround, though, which lemming posted here: https://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/60515-character-name-is-available-and-reserved-but-assigned-to-another-player/#findComment-751649

It has been few years since I worked on the River Rat locations but if I recall correctly I based my numbering off what was on vidiotmaps, so the numbering should be consistent there as well.
