Vidiot Maps (I think?)

[Caol24]

I know there were some map/badge tools...I think they were called Vidiot Maps. Do these tools still exist/work with I25? It would be a huge help to have those again!

Yes, you just have to make sure to point them to wherever you have Tequilla install CoH. Get the exe file here:

Much appreciated!

I've installed the exe in the Tequila directory, but my maps are the same as always. Is there a way to "activate" it or something?

You need to run the EXE and point it to the same directory you've installed COH to.

This is how mine is setup.

 

Game is in: c:\games\COX\tequilla

 

Game add-on content gets put into the folder: c:\games\COX\tequilla\Data

 

Thus when you "install" the maps you'll get a Data folder that needs to be located as seen here.

Please don't advise people that need help for something as simple to do, as this, to do that.  Use the KISS rule.  All that does it make it harder for us SCOTS Tech Volunteers to help people when they have issues and come see us on discord.

 

 

 

Just keep everything in your game folder so if you installed the game in  C:/Games/COH (or cityofheroes) put all game related stuff in coh (cityofheroes). You should have the game files AND the launcher (tequila) files in there so have it install there too.

 

The mod data folder should be in the coh (cityofheroes). Not saying the method mentioned above doesn't work but it's simply asking for trouble if you don't know what you're doing and makes it hard for us tech volunteers from Discord to help you.

@Silk, um...that IS my game folder...that's why I put it that way. Besides the games/COX that should be the default method for Tequila IIRC.

I was trying to highlight that the imperative here is the Data folder. Once unpacked it can simply be moved if you mess up, but it must go into the game's installation folder.

Your post makes it sound like the game is in COX with tequila files in tequila along with the data folder.  As for the default method it's c:/games/coh or cityofheroes

 

It has been what we have been suggesting both here and in discord since bree.  See the guide in my link and see discord. It's like that for a reason as the torrent is one I provided and is also the one pinned in discord.

 

Once the new launcher is done if a torrent is still needed I will be updating the one we use now and will probably add vidiotmaps in it by default with the updated maps.
