It would be nice if the time travel organization, Ouroboros, went to more than just two eras and geographical areas.

Wanted to add that I found hieroglyphics in the game, just incase anyone else searches for it and finds this thread. Under Cityscape there is "Giza Obelisk". The majority of it is covered in Egyptian looking hieroglyphics. I sunk it under the floor, tilted it at about a 1 degree angle and placed it in the wall. Also found if you use the "Carved Stone Table" on its side and the "Book Podium" tiled so you can only see the top, it works pretty well.

Please share your result. I have two frames in my comic that has a sarcophagus. I have something but I am not happy with it.

It doesn't have to be the tetrahedron shape. A block-step pyramid is actually preferred cause of the early Egyptian dynasty era I am going with. Hieroglyphics are the big issue right now. Not sure how I can do it. I may need to photoshop them in after the images are taken but not sure how I'd do that yet. I am not sure I need sand dunes either. The climate may have been a bit more green then. I should probably look that up more. Thanks.

That is a beautiful base. But not what I am looking for. Thank you, though.

Thank you again. I like the design now. Been working on it off and on for over a year and never liking the results. I can stop procrastinating finishing the comic now. I owe you.

What hasn't been civil so far? I am so confused.

I wish male characters had makeup options.... I feel tone deaf but with colors. I've been bouncing back and forth at what looks closest to that color. It will look right right away but then two seconds later look wrong. Which is more linen looking in color? Even after I post my top two options for linen, they both look wrong five minutes later. One looks too yellow and the other too white. Guard: (10, 11) I wish but it only goes with the colors of one of the stripes. Wish the editor have options for three color layouts rather than only being two. The kilt is another example. That pouch in front is something I wish I could color differently than the rest of the kilt. Yeah, I have been meaning to design these characters for a long time, but stuff like that makes me abandon and procrastinate making it. For a time I was considering drawing the entire thing. Daughter: (7) That is a good idea, but one I can't really use. The issue starts off with this flashback and after/through the issue you think the purpose of the flashback was to follow this resurrected guard in present day fighting an even magic user. But at the end I reveal the bad guy is that mage. So I need their heads to end up being close to the same. Also his magic is supposed to be more forbidden, as he is attempting to overthrow the Pharaoh and rule himself. Although none of this is really known in this issue, but if/when I get to my later issues where this is revisited, it would be shown then. What about tattoo colors? I would have assumed henna to be used but that wouldn't make sense if they didn't have reddish clothing. So I am guessing it has to be the same colors as the clothing they would dye? The ochre, umber and blue you mentioned in the first reply? Viceroy: (6, 7) These are also look a great deal better than what I was designing on my own after reading from wikipedia. For example, here was an early viceroy designed a few months ago. I think now he looks more Indian, like Mauryan, than Egyptian lol.

Pharaoh Test: (5, 6) I think I am going to avoid the animal fur. It is too flat and will probably just obscure screen shots. Tried a few other things. Strange clips into the character model more than I like, so I'll probably have her wear something on her head or be bald. Pharaoh's Daughter: (3, 4, 5, 6) Which kilt? Is the Scottish kilt or the chainmail kilt better? Guards: (8, 9) Viceroy/mage Test: ( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

Given what was stated and relooking at some of my reference photos I came up with the following. Would appreciate feedback of all sorts. I am most dissatisfied with the Pharaoh's daughter top half. So I'd especially love suggestions on improving that. Pharaoh Tests: (Phar 1, 2, 3, 4) Pharaoh's Daughter Tests: (daughter 1, 2) Guard tests: (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)

This is very helpful. Especially for the hair. I had figured the Egyptian hat we have ingame would only be for the pharaoh, like a crown. But apparently it is a normal hat for anyone during that time? That may make it easier when designing the guards. I can give them that. I'll also need to google egyptian crowns, since it isn't what I had assumed. Thank you very much for the help.

Hi. If this isn't the right section for this, please let me know and I will repost there or request for the thread to be moved. So I am making a CoH comic with screen shots. I've made a few before but not since CoH was murdered. I almost have my next issue done but there is a scene that I could use some help/ideas with. It takes place in ancient Egypt and I am struggling to get the costume to look right (not to mention the throne room but that's for another post). I am out of practice using the CoH costume creator. I had also posted way back in the day about underwater creatures and got a lot of help back then. So I am hoping there are some who may want to help share some ideas for ancient Egyptian costumes. Time period is purposely vague but I am thinking around the second dynasty. Before or at the time of the oldest pyramid found yet. But sticking to time period specific garb isn't that important given the limitations of the costumes available. Characters: Pharaoh, Pharaoh's daughter, Pharaoh's Viceroy (think Jafar from the animated Aladdin), Various Pharaoh's guards (generic but I need one guard to be slightly unique since he has a main part), A servant or two. Right now, everything I make looks about the same (pharaoh, guards, etc) or they don't look Egyptian. Appreciate any suggestions or advise.

Was about to post this as its own thread when I noticed this. I'm sure it has been requested but just incase... Filled and empty scabbards and sheaths. I'm actually surprised these don't exist already. I remember I wanted them for a few characters back when CoH was live. I forgot they don't exist and tried to make a character with them again just now just to find they don't exist again. I could really use them when making my CoH comics ( jkcomics.com ), as well. I'm hoping both filled and empty scabbards and sheaths can be added sometime. Maybe they exist on an NPC and we can port over that art. Or maybe we can adapt all the different weapons art to become belt and back details.

That was it. I was looking at client_demos (as I copied my old recordings over, as well as costumes and such). Found demos folder and my three recordings are there. Thank you.

Trying to record a demo so I can see certain effects and entities. However I will type /demorecord i0portaleffect1 or /demorecord testtesttest then perform the action I wanted recorded. After typing /demostop I check my client_demos folder to find no new files generated. Are demos stored in a different directory now or has the /demorecord command changed? Or is there a known bug?

I have a two page flashback in the CoH comic I am making. The scene takes place in ancient Egypt. I need a set to take screen shots with. Instead of building the entire set for such a short scene, I was hoping someone may already have an SG base that looks like ancience egypt. Pyramids, tents about, a palace (inside the pyramid or not) and a throne room. Those sort of things. If anyone has a base like this, could you share the base codes and let me take some screen shots in it?

Actually, it may have worked. I just cant seem to log in.

Either I am not following what you are saying to do, or it isn't working. The wiki breaks once I import the old database.

I don't think that would work. It has been the upgrading the database to 1.37 which has been getting the errors.

Found what I was doing wrong with that setup. Setup says it completed and put the local settings file that was generated. But now it is just the white screen of death. I even add in the code show to the errors and it all remains white. http://mmocomicindex.com/comicindex/ Current php version is 8.something. Well past the 7.4.3. I have gotten a fresh installation working. I have no clue about MySQL. What tools or scripts do you use for your database?

Well I can't even setup a new wiki apparently. I am getting an error with a fresh database.

When you say load the old data into the new database, do you mean manually or is there an automated way? I'm told that the current database is quite large. I wouldn't be able to manually recreate each page.

Hi. So I thought I'd post this here as a last ditch effort before I try dealing with complete strangers on guru or upwork. It is CoH related. Back when CoH was live, I was part of a group called the CCC (CoH Comic Creators). We had a site, cohcomicindex.com, which became mmocomicindex.com when some of them started making comics with other MMO games. It is a mediawiki site. There was a lot of information on there that we still use. Well, of course as soon as I am getting ready to start working on my own CoH comic again, I am informed that the mmocomicindex is down. I first found that there was an issue with the company I have the url registered with. I fix that and get the following error: Searching, I found a few references to updating mediawiki and the extension Cite. That removed the top error. After hours, I then find out my host had changed PHP versions to one that wasn't compatible. It gets changed but something may have broken during the original updating I attempted. I tried putting the original Mediawiki files back and I get a blank screen. I tried running wm-config file through the browser. At first it would be a blank white page. I then got it to go through the update process, where it is "updating" to 1.25 (what it was before all this mess happened). It wants to update the database to 1.25 and says it completes. However the process doesn't continue past that. I click continue and it just re-updates the database again. If I try updating to 1.37, it now gets to the update database to 1.37 portion, but I get the following error: That is as far as I have been able to get. People on upwork and guru want to charge be $300 to $500 to fix this and I can not currently afford this (freshly graduated college with no job yet and a wife that is a teacher). If there is someone here who can help, I can pay something on the order of $50 to $100 or ingame currency, or buy them something on steam or similar. The CoH community has had a few wikis over the years, like paragonwiki and now the HC wiki. So hoping someone can help. Apologies if this is posted in the wrong spot. Thought it couldn't hurt to ask.

That is a nice article. Thank you. Well I'll be damned. Thank you. Sorry, I had been up for 16+ hours, not moving from my computer. Had the mmocomicindex.com site, which myself and a few other machinima-comic makers use, go down. Working non-stop to figure out the mediawiki, php and database stuff to fix it. I even remember clicking on settings looking if it was there. By bad.

Yessir. Part of it. I actually had alot of the indoor action shots done when CoH went offline. Was scrambling back then to get the demo recordings done.
