My dedicated villain character has all the Halloween badges that I want except those for the banner event. I've tried to drum up interest in doing the event when it pops up on redside and/or in Kallisti Wharf, without a lot of luck. Granted, I am not the most charismatic or effective leader, so that probably doesn't help. But I thought I would put out some feelers for interest here. The banner event seems to come around roughly every couple of hours, so my thought was to put together a team (or league, depending on the amount of interest) and just do Halloween event stuff like trick or treating, running the Halloween tip mission, running Dr. Kane's, or even just running some redside missions or the like until the banner event rolls around to redside. Then we'd switch gears to complete the banner event then go back to whatever we were doing before the banner event started. I play just about every night from about 9 PM eastern to midnight. If anyone else would be interested in something like this during this timeframe, please drop me a line in this thread or via PM, or you can contact me in-game as well (my global is also AboveTheChemist). I am also open to other ideas if anyone has any better suggestions (aside from a trip to Null to change alignment!). If there is enough interest, great, and if not I'll keep trying in-game and/or just wait for Halloween stuff to roll around again next year. Thanks!

I like this suggestion, and used to have the same anxiety about accidentally changing the badge title (which I ended up doing countless times). In the meantime, I made a keybind for my favorite title using the /settitle command along with the appropriate ID number that looks like: /bind <key_name> "settitle <ID number>". There is a list of all settitle IDs on the wiki. Now if I accidentally change it, I can restore it with a keypress.

A couple of the badges listed above show up in-game under slightly different names: The badge listed as 'Winged Nuisance' appears in-game as 'Flying Nuisance' The badge listed as 'The Uncivil War' appears in-game as 'Uncivil Warrior' Also the new story arc badges listed above appear under 'Accomplishments' if anyone was curious. I'm not sure if anyone would find this useful but I've listed the /settitle IDs and badge tag IDs (for use with the /badge_grant command on the Beta servers) below, spoilered because I think some of the badge tags might be spoilery. Once i27p1 goes live I'll propogate this information to the appropriate places like the Badger site, the wiki settitle listing, my badge ID master list, my badge popmenu, and anywhere else I can think of.

I have not done much testing on Beta but this is how I think it'll work out for me as well. Since I heard the slash command was going away, I've avoided using it in all but the most dire situations, and my general go-to is Ouro > Talos > Destination. So I think the LRTP to Talos will supplement this nicely. I'll admit to being a bit old-fashioned though in that I like mixing in tradtional travel (run/flight/jump) with my teleports, and I eschew the P2W teleports.

Focused Feedback: Map Changes
AboveTheChemist replied to Jimmy's topic in [Open Beta] Focused Feedback
The "old" version is visible on this page: https://hcwiki.cityofheroes.dev/wiki/Paragon_City I can't speak for the other HC wiki contributors, but unless something clearly needs changing immediately I'll probably hold off adding anything from i27p1 to the wiki until it is out of beta and onto the live servers. -
Is this guy using...a Smartphone?
AboveTheChemist replied to CursedSorcerer's topic in General Discussion
Looks like it. You can too! /em smartphone or /em text (two different emotes). I think the latter is what you see there but I am not 100% sure. -
Alphabetic Badge List PopMenu
AboveTheChemist replied to Janrith's topic in Tools, Utilities & Downloads
Edit to say that the simplest way to install this would be to use the CoH Modder tool. My badge menu is in there for sure, but I am not sure about the other menus mentioned in this thread. If you want to install one of the badge menus manually, then Janrith's post from the first page covers it: In my case the folder is C:\Games\HC\data\texts\English\menus. If you don't have the data folder, or any of its subfolders, it should be fine to create them. Place the .mnu file in the last subfolder 'menus'. There are at least two way to access the menu, via a macro or via a bind. I use a bind that looks like this: /bind F4 "popmenu BadgeSetList" And when I press my F4 key, the popmenu opens. Any key will work, it need not be F4. Creating a macro would look something like this (copied from earlier in the thread): /macro BADGELIST popmenu BadgeSetList This would create a button named 'BADGELIST' that, when clicked, would open the popmenu. Feel free to name it something else if you wish. There may be other ways, or more creative means of using one of these two methods, but I wanted to make it as simple as possible. Note that the 'BadgeSetList' at the end of the above bind and macro commands refers to MY menu file and will only work for the menu I made available above. If you are using ROBOKiTTYs menu file, use 'BadgeList', and if you are using Wingman's menu file, use 'SetTitle'. -
Alphabetic Badge List PopMenu
AboveTheChemist replied to Janrith's topic in Tools, Utilities & Downloads
I am not sure to whom this is addressed by my version has been in the modder tool since almost the beginning. I am not sure if ROBOKiTTY's is in there as I don't use the tool myself, but as far as I know their version is finished as well. I'll check this evening and post some information about where the menu goes, both for the old installer and the new HC installer. -
I posted a more lengthy response in your previous request for this item (linked below), but /showfps 2 or /showfps 3 will both provide a display of your current map coordinates.

Enhancement sets progress update
AboveTheChemist replied to AboveTheChemist's topic in Unofficial Homecoming Wiki's Forum
I checked everything I could think to check and posted a fairly comprehensive summary of the work I did in the original Unofficial Homecoming Wiki thread to let the community know (in case they can't see this thread for whatever reason). -
For the better part of a couple of months now I have been working to comprehensively update each enhancement set page, along with the pages for each enhancement within each set. I have completed that effort and double-checked my work as best I can. I certainly make no guarantees that everything is 100% correct now, but those pages should be substantially more accurate than they were previously. I've spoilered the details of my efforts below for any that are curious. A couple of trickle-down benefits to related, dynamically-generated pages include: The invention sets category pages (for example: Category:Sets that improve Cold Defense) now properly display all applicable enhancements The individual invention salvage pages (for example: Unearthed Relic Salvage) now accurately reflect the enhancements and level ranges for which the piece of salvage is used The invention sets category pages mentioned in the first bullet allow the user to compare sets that improve a common aspect (like cold defense) and make informed choices about which sets to slot. Back in July, before any of these updates were made, I created a set bonus comparison table page to similarly assist in choosing set bonuses. I plan to leave that page in place as an alternate resource and companion page to the invention sets category pages.

Well, I tinkered with it for about 30 mins, and tried a ton of different things (including various combos of the commands reversed) but I couldn't find a combo that would work as you hoped. With the '+' sign there it is causing the target command to be executed once when the key is pressed, and again when it is released, and I couldn't find a way around that. Which isn't to say that there isn't a way, but if there is it eluded me.

Hot water (as hot as I can stand) has worked well for me in reducing the itchiness of a poison ivy rash. A former co-worker was extremely allergic to poison ivy and he started using a product called Oral Ivy which seemed to work quite well for him.

Interesting, I would not have expected that and I'll keep that in mind in the future. Sorry you got stuck in a turn loop! If I can remember when I get home I'll tinker around with it and see if I can find something that will work. I have a feeling though that commands that include the single '+' might best be left as single-command binds.
-
The "+" in front of the turnleft command is an indicator to perform the action while the key is pressed, and to stop when the key is released (see page 11 of Shenanigunner's CoH/CoV Technical Reference Guide). It might be applying that to both the turn and targeting commands such that as long as the key is pressed it is repeatedly performing both actions. Which is good in the case of the turn command, but bad in the case of the targeting command. If you hold down Q or E for several seconds or more in front of a group of enemies, does it continuously cycle through the enemies as you turn? Or does it simply target enemy A, then enemy B, then back to A and stop? You might try reversing the order of the commands (like "target_enemy_prev$$+turnleft") but I have no idea if that will work or not.

Offline Map Viewer
AboveTheChemist replied to AboveTheChemist's topic in Tools, Utilities & Downloads
Seasonal bump for those that might like an offline map viewer for hunting giant monsters during the Halloween event. See the top post for more details. -
Enhancement sets progress update
AboveTheChemist replied to AboveTheChemist's topic in Unofficial Homecoming Wiki's Forum
I finished the list Monday night, but I am still running a few checks to hopefully smoke out any errors/omissions that I missed. It ended up being roughly 1,400 pages that I created/checked/edited (221 set pages plus an additional 1,200 individual enhancement pages) and I am certainly not perfect so there were some things I missed. I've done a few checks already and will work on the rest of the things I can think to check over the next week or so. -

Returning player need help with building basics
AboveTheChemist replied to ProPain Tank's topic in Tanker
Minor correction - /ah only works in the open world, not in instances. So you can't access the AH inside mission maps or bases, for example. -
Enhancement sets progress update
AboveTheChemist replied to AboveTheChemist's topic in Unofficial Homecoming Wiki's Forum
Just a quick update to say I have made my way down through the travel sets and am set to begin on the 'Other Sets' section tomorrow. Based on my recent pace, I anticipate being done with the entire list by Monday or Tuesday, barring any unforeseen distractions. -
Looking at the comments, this character was on a non-Homecoming server, which is why you don't see them in-game.

Open Beta FAQ - Read This to Get Started!
AboveTheChemist replied to Jimmy's topic in Open Beta Testing
The freebies popmenu should have all that and more. It used to be a separate menu but it's been built-in to the Beta servers for a while now. You can get to it via the same button that accesses the emotes, with the little button on the far right end of the chat bar. -
If you click your name in the navbar at the top, go to Account Settings and the option to add a signature is in the menu on the left.
