It's actually pretty easy to do. Now that you know the file name (it's listed in the zip file) you can change any song, sound or the likes to a .ogg file, change the name of it to the listed file name, (in your case, cold_loop) and place it in the file destination in your CoH folder. You'll hear your custom sound that you have created. There's really nothing to it. Finding the name of the file is the hardest part. Creating custom SFX can be pretty difficult, but that is a totally different nightmare in itself.

If it can be made an option, I am all for it. I just can't support a forced change on all the players. Options are great, forced changes tend to leave people sour.

And this one is for Arctic Air, same destination as the one above. Data\Sound\Ogg\Powers Arctic_Air_Easy_Listening.zip

This mod cuts the volume of Arctic Fog by a little over half. Destination: Data\Sound\Ogg\Powers Arctic_Fog_Loop_Ear_Saver.zip

The problem is, it can be done instead of forcing it on every player in the game who loves the sound. I have already created a Mod for the Elec Field, and if I need to create one for this too I will. I would rather take teh time to create a mod to lower the volume of Arctic Air than see it changed for people who do not wish it to change. So give me a bit, I'll make the mod and post it here.

Mod is already set up for anyone who wants it. Destination Data\Sound\Ogg\Dog This works for the Umbra Pet in Dark Control and anything else that utilizes these files. This mod lowers the volume of their howls by half. Howling_Mod_Custom.zip

You can edit the files yourself. There is no longer a need for Devs to fade anything out. Not everybody wants them faded out and since you can change the sound to anything you like or silence them all together, Devs no longer need to do this.

Okay, that makes sense. Thank you.

Fascinating...where do we find them?

The only mods I have ever seen that changes anything graphically are emblems and costumes. I can't recall ever seeing one that changed powers. I'm not going to say it's impossible, just saying I have never seen one.

No news is good news.

Thank you! Also, that avatar...I don't know whether to be turned on or creeped out, lol. 😄

I'm pretty sure that the coding for powers is server side, even if we had an art coding guy/gal, it wouldn't do us much good. Have you tried asking in the Suggestions forums?

NVidia just came out with a new patch a few days ago. If you have already downloaded the latest firmware, try rolling it back. If you have not updated the latest firmware, try downloading it and see if that helps.

Almost sounds like you have a bad stick of RAM.

So the description of Ice's Assassin's Ice Sword says, "This power is needed for the Empower and Sweep Combination Attacks." What in the hell is it talking about? Is this a description error? I have played Ice up to level 28 I think, never noticed any combination attacks. Somebody mind explaining this to me?

Heya folks! Just finished (been working on this one for a few weeks now) the brand new SFX Mod for Force Field! For me personally, it gave me a whole new love for Force Field and have actually leveled mine beyond level 32 because of this mod! I wanted this mod to be able to pair well with the Psionic Mod, so I kept that in mind while creating this one. Hope you folks love it and most of all, I hope @The Philotic Knight finds some enjoyment out of this since he is the most experienced Force Field Player that I know of, and his love for the set shows it. You will hear a bit of static in the files when played back, however, this was an evil done in order for the game to play them back at a reasonable volume. When the game plays the mods, the static is pretty much nonexistent. You can find the mod here: You can hear the sounds here: And you can find a multitude of Mods here on @The Philotic Knight's website that is extremely useful in finding information regarding City of Heroes! CoH Community Tools Mods Hope you all enjoy as much as I have!

So I have noticed that other players have been reporting a lot of crashing to Desktop. I had been having the same issue so I dug in to finding a fix. Okay, so I did a couple of things that have fixed it for me. Give this a try and see if it works for you. First, the history. This was completely random when it happened. However, it happened much more often when I would dual box. So since I could get this to happen within minutes after dual boxing, it was much easier to pin point the cause of this. This generated a code 1000 in the event report. The fix for this is to check for corrupted Windows files and run a Restore Health command. Apparently the latest Windows update corrupted a few files and needs to be corrected. Here is how to do it.: Open Command Prompt by typing in the windows search bar, cmd. Command Prompt should pop up as an option, right click on it and run as administrator. in the box, type sfc /scannow and hit enter. allow it to run the full process and allow it to correct any errors found. Once finished, enter a new command, type DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth and hit enter. Allow that to complete and then restart your PC. (optional) I went ahead and disabled Vertical Sync in the game options, mainly because it's not really needed. I did this as an extra precaution but may turn it back on at a later time. Hope this helps with the crashing.

This has actually been happening for YEARS. It started around i5 or 6 and has not been fixed since then. It is rather minor. When this happens it happens with any powers that can take your character off the ground for extended times. Superjump and Flight can cause this. Easy enough fix though, just turn off SJ or Flight and turn it back on. This usually clears it up.

Same here. Started a couple of days ago for me.

I too have been getting odd crashes and this started the day before yesterday.

Probably not. I love the SFX for Energy and it takes a lot of time to create new and unique sounds for power sets. If you have a specific sound you want them changed to, you can toss it at me and I could make you something just for you, but as far as me creating a new sound and adding it to Energy, that probably wouldn't happen...way too much work for something that I love as is.

Wait, you don't have your racist force field? 😄 In all seriousness, I hear ya, man. I just don't think offensive flags will be too much of an issue. Maybe if we had a system where they could be reviewed before implemented that would help. It would be worth it to players to wait a couple of weeks to have their flag reviewed before being allowed to add it to the costume. At least I wouldn't mind. It's seems like a lot, but at the same time, I think worth the effort.
