Thank you for your work. 🙂 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City Council Michiyo Posted October 25, 2022 Author City Council Share Posted October 25, 2022 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.

Blood Speaker Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Okay, this WAS working. Then today I open it and it tells me there are no mods installed, and that the C:\Games\Homecoming\Data directory is empty. This is accurate; no idea why. I closed out of both CoH and the modder, and attempted to re-open the latter on it's own. Am now getting an Unhandled Exception.

Would def help to have an alert if the program is still running... though nothing I saw at the time indicated it was still active: nothing on task bar or app tray, at the time. Will dig into it if issue occurs again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainstar Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Heya, I was trying to make a mod for lvl up, and I saw that are 7 options to change that sound in the folder FrontEnd | levelup1.ogg | levelup2.ogg | levelup3.ogg | levelup4.ogg | levelup5.ogg | levelup6.ogg | levelup7.ogg Anyone knows if I need to change all? Or just one? tyvm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City Council Michiyo Posted October 30, 2022 Author City Council Share Posted October 30, 2022 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WumpusRat Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 After leveling up my new katana brute, I realized that the sounds for katana are kind of meh. Not a big fan of them. I wanted something "meatier" like a sword actually hitting someone, rather than clinking on some metal. I just can't figure out how to actually make a sound mod. I tried the 'create mod' option, but nothing I can try gets it to recognize the 'proper folder/path' when I try to tell it where to start building it. I'm a complete novice at creating mods, so there's probably something simple I'm missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a set of sounds, in the correct folder structure then you just select the data directory that contains those files. You *must* have the files in the correct folder structure though, make a new directory "data" outside of your game directory, then build out the required folders inside that, then place your modded sound files in there. The tool doesn't help you make mods, it's just to package the data for use with the tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried reading a "how to create a sound mod" walkthrough, but my eyes started crossing about halfway through it, because it was talking about creating ogg files, putting them into special directories (and it didn't say WHAT directories to put them in), etc. The place it said the sound files were didn't have the files it claimed it would have, and it ended up just being a huge chore and I couldn't figure it out. So at this point I've basically given up on trying to create a mod. I'll just live with the current power sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I create personal pop menus for my own use that I don't have any desire to publish publicly. Will I still be able to do that without officially publishing them and packaging them through City Modder? I renamed my 'data' folder to 'data.disabled', and lost all of my chat popmenus (I have a number of various 'stock response' popmenus in foreign languages to match characters with foreign origins), so what I did was create a new 'Data' folder under Homecoming, then copied the 'texts' folder from the 'data.disabled' folder to the new 'data' folder, and all the popmenus are back. So yes, if you have anything in your data directory under Homecoming, it will continue to work as long as you don't override them in City Modder (i.e., if you replace a sound using the data directory, and install a mod with City Modder that replaces the same sound, the one City Modder installed takes precedence).

Overrides in the data directory should still take priority over mods loaded via the mod installer. These mods are packaged as .pigg files, so the game loads them natively, meaning the data directory is still loaded after them. This is why the tool warns you if it finds stuff in the data directory, and tells you if mods aren't working to check there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
