    it sounds like you may be trying to use a Demo Player designed for the old live version of the game, but you are using HCLauncher to launch your game now.  The file layout has changed with the release of HCLauncher.  (If you are still using Tequila, or some other 3rd party launcher ignore me...)

    I wrote a demo launcher that works with both old live/Tequila style folder layouts and the new HCLauncher file layouts because of this.  https://drive.pc-logix.com/index.php/s/z7Afpgpd9MzdWnm

     

    On first run it's going to ask you for your City of Heroes install folder, for me that is "C:\Games\Homecoming" but yours may be elsewhere, if you are unsure open the HCLauncher click the settings gear top right and then use the "Install Location" path on that screen.

    Then it will ask you to select your "CityOfHeroes.exe" if you are using HCLauncher that is very likely to be under "bin\win64\live".

     

    You should then be presented with the DemoPlayer UI, again, if using HCLauncher, select that radio button, select your demo file in the file list, and hit "Play".

     

    You'll also have settings you can customize in the toolbar, You'll also see a "Demo Fixer" button that will fix *VERY* old Demos (issue 3 and older) so will likely not be needed, but it is included because I horded all of my old demos.

     

    I am using HClauncher. I may try installing Tequila. 

    *Edited to add -- Where the heck do you download Tequila? The link through Titan Network doesn't work anymore and the wiki here links to a forum post that doesn't have a link to it.  -- **

     

    I would use your demo launching but it is missing the features I need. Like the Disable Text, Full Screen, Loops, FPS Speed, and most importantly the screenshot Demo Dump for JPG and TGA.

     

    Does anyone know what program I would need to "open" the demo launcher and change its code to work with HC?

  2. I am having some trouble. I used to use this one exe to play demos and take screen shots. It was made by someone in the old CoH community. I use this to make comic books with CoH. 

     

    The demo launcher file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WXw6zQP1z2G6FRL1PckwpcXcb6gC8JBn/view?usp=sharing

     

    Well I left one comic half made several years ago. I was hoping to finish it but the demo launcher isn't working anymore. I get the following error code:

    Could someone help me fix what is wrong?

    Non-Kheld-mission Nictus... I think most of the missions are blueside that mantion them. Cimerora/ITF, obviously (which... would make for some interesting Nictus storylines,) but aside from that, there's the Portal corp missions to War Wolf Earth (which is Requiem "winning," the War Wolves being the result,) a tip or morality mission to stop a Nictus shadow seed carrier, Moonfire, of course... I think SHelly Percy's mission is the one that grants you temporary "nictus" powers (more like makes you a Galaxy.)

    Yes, I got the teleport and a blast for that mission. Was hoping there would be more but it went off on Midas.

     

    Pointing these out makes me excited for Nictus perspective missions. Stealing equipment to build a teleporter and the initial attacks on the past in Cimerora. Maybe some missions kidnapping archeologists or finding relics which give the Council reason for focusing on that time frame in the past (lore building). Maybe a small anti-Ouroboros cabal, fighting against their timeline maintenance. The entire red side Nictus stuff easily can start small with attacking PB and WSs, persuade people that the Jedi are evil and get them to join the Sith --- I mean the Kheldians are evil and hosts for the Nictus. And build right into the counterpart to the endgame stuff in Cimerora.

     

    Ugh, I am all excited for this. I may just need to start playing with AE again after a decade.

    This, pretty much.

     

    The big issue is that there's no *content* redside for Nictus. (I keep planning stuff in AE. I want a nictus "cloud" as a contact. Not available.)

     

    Playing on my other villain, Planterror, at level 13 I have just been introduced to the contact "Dr. Shelly Percey" and the first mission "Find the Nictus" is about stealing a Nictus from the Council.

     

    Just putting it out there that perhaps a Nictus mission could be the other side of the same mission, where you have to try and protect the Nictus from being napped. Also, related, trying to establish and maintain a relationship with Arachnos (and other groups) while dealing with Dr. Aeon's attempts at stealing/dissecting Nicti (Nictuses?).

     

    Other than this, I don't think I've seen any mention of Nictus so far. 😕

    No, that's one of the reasons Null the Gull exists, so you can change alignment at any time. As Fraulein mentioned, only tip mishes require you to be level 20.

     

    And I'll assume you ended up finding him? Answer wouldn't be on Paragonwiki since he's special to Homecoming. Null is a seagull that sits on top of the truck parked just inside the redside of Pocket D.

    Yes, I was able to find him. Thank you.

    I mean, you technically can. Not that hard to go to Pocket D after you create the character, then go to Null the Gull and change your alignment to villain and then go level villain-side.

    Dont you need to be a minimum level to change alignment?

     

    Also, where in pocket D?  Can't seem to find the answer on Paragonwiki. 

  7. So I was attempting to create a villain I had on the old servers. He was a Warshade powerset but was supposed to be a Nictus. Well I guess I forgot that PB and WS have to start out as heroes and I am wonder if one of two things could occur.

     

    1. It would be nice to remove these restrictions so I can just play as a warshade villain / Nictus from the getgo.

     

    or 2. Make a auto villain PB and WS. Call them PeaceEnders, a defected or corrupted/brainwashed Peacebringer, and Nictus, a non-defected Warshade. With both PB and WS's abilities tweaked in minor ways to give them a slightly different feel. 

     

    I'd imagine number 1 is the easiest, but number 2 is probably an easy way to bring in another power set since it isn't coming in from scratch.

    Either way, thank you for possibly considering either way.
