  1. So I downloaded the map and it still does not show up in game.  I dropped it into the CoH folder.  Do I need to put it in the game file in the folder?
    The vidiotmaps executable is just an unpacker for the textures. You must run it, not copy it into the game directory.
  2. Since yesterday, every time I launch Tequila, it crashes before it's even done validating the files...

     

    I can't play CoH since yesterday.
    One thing to try is to delete tequila.exe, tequila.xml and tequilalog.xml from the game directory, Tequila's settings from your system registry (see Silk's Install & Troubleshooting thread) and reinstall Tequila.

     

    Another option is to create a batch file (.BAT extension) in the game's directory with the following contents:

    start homecoming.exe -patchversion 2019.06.05 -auth 51.79.19.146 -patchdir homecoming

    Double-clicking the batch file will launch the game same as you'd get through Tequila. It will only work until the next patch for main Homecoming (although a change of authserver, executable name or patch directory would likewise stop the workaround from functioning)

  3. Since yesterday, every time I launch Tequila, it crashes before it's even done validating the files... I can't play CoH since yesterday. Am I the only one experiencing this?

     

    What can I do?

    Do you get any error messages when the crash occurs?
  4. Hi my friends.  I was going to download the vidiots map overlay but it says it is for windows 7 and older.  Will it function properly in windows 10?

    Vidiotmaps doesn't really have an operating system requirement. It's a texture replacement, and those textures will work on any system that runs COH.
  5. Paragonwiki should only cover original COH material (including the i24 beta content). The rogue servers all diverge from it in some way and what's valid info for one RS may not be valid for another. We don't really need disputes over which RS should be covered by PW as the "main" server these days (and there would always be some disputes).

     

    So my vote goes for a new Wiki.

  6. Not a game developer, but I was just curious if anyone has been considering adding in new costume pieces into customization (obviously, there's tons of options, but why not expand). How accessible are the files of the actual models, pieces, etc?

    You should head over to the OuroDev discord and ask in the Portal Corps channels. As I understand, the source code does contain source for 3D Studio Max plugins for several 3DSMax versions (old ones, obviously) and some sort of costume asset editor. I can't say for sure if anyone managed to compile them into an operational state or not.
  7. The CoH card game would be for Computer only not real life card game which the real life version failed but the computer game version might be a good shot.
    No, that ship has sailed. Nobody sane is going to develop it as a standalone game for legal reasons (you know, like lack of a goddamn license). The version found in Tabletop Simulator is the extent of what you get.
  8. While the game is running, I went to start, typed wmic and pasted the code you gave. It still says Alias not found
    That's not what I told you to do.

    As I've explained, the WMIC command needs to be ran as administrator. This is something that must be explicitly used even if your user account has administrator privileges (yes, it tripped me too).

    This is why we're going through creating the batch file. Once you have the batch file, you can right-click it, then choose "Run as administrator" from the context menu without having to go through any additional trouble or entering any further commands.

     

    Also I was doing some researching online how to create a batch file and thats by pasting code into notepad. I did that with the code you gave and saved it as All Files. I double clicked what I created and it just opened what I typed.
    You saved as a text file. After selecting "All Files", you need to make sure that at the end of the file name you've entered, there is a dot and BAT written after the dot ( .bat ). That's the file extension. Without that extension, your OS will not treat it as a batch file.

     

  9. Thank you for that! Would you happen to know where I can find the thread the code was posted in? Need it for the instructions on how to apply the code
    Uhm, I gave them... it's just that I messed up the code tags and quote tags.

    The command hasn't been posted in another thread on here, it's a repurposing of something I've used to solve task priority issues in Mirror's Edge: Catalyst.

    So to reiterate:

    wmic process where name="homecoming.exe" CALL setpriority "high priority"

    Save that as a batch file (.bat extension) on your desktop. After starting the game, run the batch file as an admin (specific right-click option for this)

    I pasted wmic process where name="homecoming.exe" CALL setpriority "high priority" in the wmic run command and it said Alias not found

    You need to run the batch file while the game is already running. Unfortunately, you will need to do it every time you launch the game.

     

    The alternative is creating a different .bat file to run the game itself, BUT that may prevent you from playing if there's a change in executable name, patch directory, authserver IP or patch date.

  10. Sound is a vibration, ergo a form of energy. Energy power sets could be made to work, with the excuse that it's not raw energy, it's just really concentrated sound.

     

    Sound typically propagates through air... so perhaps air manipulation through sound could thematically fit?

     

  11. I've tried changing the priority via task manager from "below normal" to high, but windows won't let me do so. I do not get an error mask or anything, it simply just won't change. That's with me going to user settings and changing to the "never notify" option
    I just remembered something.

    wmic process where name="homecoming.exe" CALL setpriority "high priority"

    Save that as a batch file (.bat extension) on your desktop. After starting the game, run the batch file as an admin (specific right-click option for this)

  12. Pie-in-the-sky would require creation of completely new animations and FX, but your concept just repurposes things that are already present.

     

    To add some fuel to this:

    Caltrops (found in Ninjutsu , Martial Assault and Scrapper's version of Weapon Mastery) could work thematically for the control power - but so count Ninjutsu:Smoke Flash and Weapon Mastery: Web Grenade (with different stats possibly)

     

    Widow Training has Poison Dart and Dart Burst, both of which could kind of work as the low-tier attack you're talking about.

  13. There already is a thread for this - let's keep it in one place? https://forums.homecomingservers.com/index.php/topic,3643.0.html

    (IMPORTANT NOTE: You may notice that some of these have actual copyrighted chest emblems - these are CLIENT-SIDE mods. Only I or anyone who has these mods installed can see them. Such as the "House of El" Superman emblem. If you don't have the mod - it's just "Celtic 2" for you. And yes - I'll make a thread for those mods and a link for download if there's demand for it. But if the Devs here say not to do it, I won't.)
    Ehhh. Doing things within the costume creator's limits is kind of the challenge. Client-side mods break those limits, which makes them somewhat cheaty in the context.
  14. i think it might be the http(s) issue mentioned in Silk's troubleshooting post.

     

    the issue is, how do i fix it?

    tequila closes before i can adjust the manifest line (although it looks like http in the brief seconds before it closes)

    i didn't see anything in tequila.xml

    Delete Tequila settings from your system registry (see Silk's thread), IIRC this fixed the issue for some players before.
  15. Its a little be difficult for me because my english is not very good for understand some technical words so i'm lost,

    Anyway, after dowload ADK for my windows 10 version, i need to run the program but i cant find him in the start menu, whats the name of the programme because in the top of my menu, i have : GPUView, Windows Performance Analyzer and Windows Performance Recorder ... whats the good one ?

    None of the above. What you should run is Compatibility Administrator(32 bit)
