Healix

Can we open the WW window in bases??? (I made a macro for that.../macro WENT "$$ auctionhouse")

Speaking of all this, on live a LOT of people wrote great bios for their characters. I loved checking for them and was seldom disappointed. Some were so creative it left me in awe. For some reason very few folks here make a backstory for their heroes/villains. Did anyone else ever click on other's toons to see if there was a bio?

I tried WoW after a friend begged me to go there. I HAD to fork over stipends/gifts to my guild and HAD to participate in raids. "Gather 45 sticks and get killed over and over" was not my idea of fun....too much like work, so I quit. If a game is not fun to play, what's the point?

*nods* Yes indeed, and I was the one handing out Pepto Bismol and Tums to the patrons :D

THIS X a quadrabazillion......Every word of this was read right off of my heart.

is this what you need? /bind mousewheel "+camdistadjust" If not, you might need to reset your commands in the menu pull-down under options, either keymapping or controls. (That was where I changed 'R' to keep me from auto-running into a mob with Elite Bosses. Yes, I have....)

Water blast is powerful AND fun to play!

These are mine ( personally, I prefer to use a keybind with little-used keys. I added those under. :) ) /macro FH "powexec_name Fly$$powexec_name Hover" /macro SJC "powexec_name Super Jump$$powexec_name Combat Jumping" /bind F "powexec_name Fly$$powexec_name Hover" /bind Z "powexec_name Super Jump$$powexec_name Combat Jumping"

you can create a macro too /macro GGN getglobalname $target

Nothing has ever been able to replace CoH or its community for me. Losing it a second time would really be painful. I play other non-MMO games but CoH is the only online MMO I have ever truly loved.

While playing yesterday, I accidentally 'arrested' a baddie in a group before I realized that someone else had 'dibs' on them. I would never do that on purpose and apologized, then went looking elsewhere. Back on live in the early days on Triumph, there was a particular group of players who were a bunch of a-hole griefers. They would kill steal, port high-level baddies into a group of lowbie characters (sometimes over and over) and so much more. To them, it was hilarious. (They were reported so many times, the individuals finally got banned from the game.) My point is that I promised myself I would never purposely do something to anyone that would spoil gameplay for them. The CoH community on a whole is just the best and I can't count the times that I have been helped, so I like to pay it forward. Kill stealing? Griefing? Harassing? Pretending to be a GM when you are not?

Thanks, guys! I appreciate the things done here to make this game even better!

Robin said so!!!!

Something that EVERYONE must do is go to Echo Atlas or Echo Galaxy, go to the tram and stand close to the bathroom door and turn up your volume. The sound of gassy emanations and flushing are still there! Also in Echo Atlas if you listen at the doors of the bowling alley (where the Icon is now) you'll hear balls hitting pins.

Canada is SO beautiful...

I have all of my binds/macros and special information saved on Notepad++ so all I have to do is copy/paste into the chat bar. Here are assorted things that I hope will add to the enjoyment of your gameplay! First off, THIS... --CHANGE INGAME FONT-- Since the built in font has identical lower case L's and upper case i's, it was sometimes hard for me to tell the difference. This has made it so much better. Go to your fonts folder, usually C:\Windows\Fonts or C:\Winnt\Fonts and find the file "tahoma.TTF". Select the font then go to the Edit menu and hit Copy. Now go to your game folder, such as C:\Program Files\City of Heroes. In here, go into the folder "data"... if you don't have that folder, make it now. Go into that folder and then create a new folder called "fonts" (without the quotes). Right-Click on that folder and hit Paste. Now go into the folder fonts you just made and right click on "tahoma.TTF" and hit rename. Change the name to "mont_demibold" ,without the quotes. Now when you launch the game, the default interface font will be replaced with the font tahoma, making it much easier to tell those letters apart. Note that this only applies to the GUI. The text over character heads will not change, that's a bold version of the same font and thus has a different name. ____________________________________ --FIX YOUR UI-- There are times when I enter a mission and the insp box is in the center of the screen and things look wonked..I hate that! Resize/move all your stuff around so you have it how you want it. Go to the chat box and type in: /optionsave Press enter. Go to the chat box and type in: /wdwsave Press enter. Go to the chat box and type in: /Macro Fix "optionload$$wdwload" Press enter. A macro button named "Fix" will appear in your power tray. Any time you log in/zone/etc and your UI is all messed up...just click the button and everything will be back to how you like it. ____________________________________ /bind [key] nop (clears a bind from a key) /stuck (To get unstuck) /show_bind <key> (shows what commands are bound to that key. ) /neterrorcorrection 1 or /neterrorcorrection 2 (For better connection to server) This next command unloads textures and dynamically refreshes your graphics and sometimes helps with lag. Be aware your screen will wonk out for a sec, but don't be alarmed...it's supposed to do that. /reloadgfx _______________________________________ A lot of folks have forgotten that there are fly poses that are pretty cool. Here's the way to change the basic one -FLY POSES- /bind w "+forward" (This is BASIC pose that you can always go back to) /bind w "+forward$$em flypose1" (1 to 4) (For picking one that's your favorite) /bind w "+forward$$em flypose1$$e flypose2$$e flypose3$$e flypose4" (This toggles through all four when you hit enter over and over) flypose1 - Superman style. Arms Forward flypose2 - Alternate Superman style. Right arm forward. Left Arm curled back. . Right leg bent. flypose3 - back straight. Arms angle forward and slightly up. flypose4 - Bach arched up. Arms curled to the side.) _____________________________________________ There is a way to create a special custom window to store your macros instead of using trays: To get started, create a folder called customwindows in your data/ folder, and then create a text file called custom.window in there. Make sure your text editor doesn't add ".txt" at the end or it won't work. Inside custom.window, add this text: Code: [select] _____________________________ Window Macros 0 0 200 100 Open 1 End _____________________________ "Macros" is going to be the title of the window; the other numbers are position and size (which you can then alter in game, so they don't matter much). Next time you start the game, this should be in the top left corner: I always move mine to the right, above my insp window. It will always reset to the left when you log and you'll have to move it back. Now you can click the "New Command" button, and that will make a new "Edit Me" button appear. Right-click it, and you can select "Edit Name" or "Edit Command" in order to customize the buttons to do whatever you want, as long as you can put it in a command.

Here is how I set mine up... Save keybinds- left alt Load keybinds- left alt+L /bind_save_file <filename> I have all of my keybinds and macros saved on Notepad++ (you can always use Windows Notepad or Wordpad) It's really easy to copy/paste them into the chat bar, too.

I saved all of my characters in a special way. (It's sort of like having a picture album) Here is Healix, my very first toon created in April, 2004. This is how all my other characters are set up. If I were to recreate them here, I can use their bio-pic as costume reference even if I change the AT.

Lest we forget, our catsi not only reigned over the litterbox, ran the corner store, was the lifeguard at TA's pool and the judge at Kitty court! *so MEWlti-talented!*

On live, I had a 'putersaurus that would make teaming action turn into a slideshow...my graphics were set at bare bones. I soloed most of the time. Now that I have a new gaming computer, it's SO awesome to be able to be on a huge team with no lag. I look forward to teaming and finally doing missions/TFs that I still haven't experienced after all this time.

LOL!
