To add to this there are now 4 variants of Atlas Park, each with their own minimap: Base AP for most of the year, Halloween AP for well, Halloween (October), Fall AP (November), and Winter AP (December). All of these have their own separate minimap files that older versions of Vidiots can not replace, the updated version replaces these correctly.

All level ups appear to use levelup7, it looks like the original intent was to use different sounds for level ranges, 1-10, 11-20, 21-30. 31-40. and 41-50 (with some extras I suppose?) But yeah looks like you can just replace 7 for all.

Assuming this is the forum account tied to your game account, https://forums.homecomingservers.com/gameaccount/ will show your game login name, and you can reset your game password if needed.

The program as a whole has a number of issues that I would like to resolve before releasing any update.

NeoSplasher was actually one of my old tools as well lol... It talked to my website (the data it requested is no longer there), so even if the paths for login screens weren't different now, it wouldn't work anyway. It's been on my list of things to work on, but that list is VERY long at this point. I might see about bumping it up as I still have the source for it kicking around.

"System.IndexOutOfRangeException: Index was outside the bounds of the array." Means that the program is open, and trying to open it again is passing an invalid command to the command handler, the exception is an issue and I will poke it to see why, but it really sounds like the process is still running. Id suggest a reboot, and try running it again, and see if that resolves it.

Pushed an update: Added checks for missing asset path on all supported launchers, and show an error if it's not found. Added support for a custom URI cohmodder:// to install mods directly from the website. Fixed "Add to Launcher" for Tequila, and Victory Launcher if you didn't already have custom launch parameters.

The support bundle shows you don't have the asset path set in your launcher. Please either use the option in the tool to "Add to Launcher -> HCLauncher" or following the instructions in the first post to add the asset path by hand.

https://forums.homecomingservers.com/gameaccount/ This is where you set your game username/password (or reset your password if you've already made the game account).

Could I please get you to use the new "Upload Support Bundle" option so that I can take a look at what might be causing this?

I just pushed an update that will hopefully help track this down. It will check for existing data overrides in the directory it is pointed to, and show a warning in the log box about this. IT WILL NOT automatically remove, rename, or otherwise attempt to resolve this for you. It is your responsibility to go to the indicated folder, and remove any conflicting files. I also added a check for a valid city install, as some folks have been pointing the tool at either a subfolder, or just not the right folder. Finally, I added an option under "Tools" "Upload Support Bundle" this will prompt you for your forums username (so I can associate a bundle with a user), which will contain some basic info about the folder you've told the installer is your City of Heroes install. It will check permissions on subfolders, it will check the launch params for the correct assetpath, it will check the data folder for overrides. I hope this will help in debugging these odd issues.

The fact that you are randomly getting these errors is very odd, are you always launching the game the same exact way every time? Intermittent problems like this generally imply *something* is different sometimes. As for the crash above that implies that the archive downloaded is incomplete, either due to something breaking the download partially which could be something like AV/Firewall, or a spotty connection.

Ok, so that means the game IS loading the mod piggs out of the assets directory as it should. Remove the corrupted mod, make sure Vidiots (and only vidiots) is installed, launch HC, go to Atlas park, and snip what your map looks like, and post it here like the above screenshot.

Are you on Discord by chance?

"Then gone"? The console window should stay open until you close the game... The text will scroll by quickly until the game is loaded, then you can scroll it back to the top, if that's not the case then more than loading mods is broken.

"Corrupted Mod" is in the list of installable mods on the tool, either by selecting "Other" from the dropdown, or finding the "C" section in the All list. Check that, start the game, you'll see a 2nd window with debug output, once the game has fully loaded, and you're at the login screen (no need to login) scroll all the way to the top of the debug console, and screenshot the entire window as I did in my example in the last post.

I have no idea why the game wouldn't be loading piggs from the directory then. Even if they weren't properly downloaded the game would hit the invalid pigg and fail to load. I'm going to have to fail back to super basic questions here, you're launching the Homecoming profile, not beta, or prerelease for your testing? Can you check "Show debug console" in the Homecoming profile, wait for the game to fully load, scroll all the way back to the top of the console window, and take a screenshot including the titlebar? Looking for something like this: I've also added a new mod under the "Other" heading, called "Corrupted Mod DO NOT DOWNLOAD", please, do the opposite of what the name says, and install it. Let me know if you get a crash when you launch the game. Should look like this:

That's what should be there. I have no idea what else could stop the program from establishing a SSL connection other than AV/Firewall blocking the connection.

Uninstall everything except the base Vidiot mod, go to AP, and confirm you don't see

Nope, that's exactly what it should be. Can you also verify you don't have anything in your data directory that might be overriding? I disabled the data folder rename after a couple people contacted me with issues, and haven't re-implemented it yet.

"Request aborted" means that something on your end is blocking the call out to the website to grab the mod list. Usually some AV or Firewall that is overly paranoid. If you try to open https://mods.cityofheroes.dev/mods.php in a webbrowser does it show you a bunch of XML?

Click "Homecoming" in the launcher settings and confirm the launch parameters box actually has -assetpath assets\mods

Did you close HC Launcher before using the "Add to launcher" option? It needs to be closed, click the option, then re-opened.

That all looks like fairly normal City console output, nothing in there to be concerned about. As long as mods are loading then everything should be fine.

Let me know if you need any assistance after reinstalled. My recommendation is to install the game to C:\Games\Homecoming, which is the default of the HCInstaller, I find that causes the least amount of issues.
