A surprise and a question

[ZamuelNow]

When CoX originally sunset, I was disappointed like most but went on to other things.  Eventually, the lack of news about the game led me to delete the directory for the hard drive for space.  Years later hearing about Homecoming getting officially licensed led to me redownloading and stumbling through the game.  On a hunch I checked a backup drive and I was surprised to find actually still have my arcs saved.  I thought I had lost everything.

 

To the question, how would you go about transferring the files to a new computer to republish?  Being about a decade rusty, I have no clue what directory things should go in (and this is on a wholly separate computer).  Not everything will come back but that will be more than zero.

Look for a directory called architect.   You can copy that directory over without a problem.    You might also want to bring over a costumes and powersets directory.

 

There have been some changes to all, but for the most part, they should work.  I used my 2012 files without much problem.  costumes are more likely to needing fixing, but the program usually can handle it.

Oh wow, I actually have comment file.  It's interesting to reread some of the feedback on the arcs (though some of it is "posted review on the forums").

Great to have you back! Your Mission Architect Handyman thread helped me refine my approaches a lot back in the day!

I think I'm still working on that arc...

I guess I have to ask, is there a group periodically running AE missions like on Live?  I've put down roots in Torchbearer but I remember it traveling across servers near the end of the game's life.
