City Council Michiyo Posted October 22, 2022 Author City Council Share Posted October 22, 2022 Ok, so that all looks fine, though a word of warning, the 3 mods you've selected all override each other. So I'm not 100% sure *which one* will show up in game, but you should be able to see... one of them in game at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldenOldie Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Ok...I'll just do one mod. Again, thank you so much 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenOldie Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 I'm uninstalling everything since it seems to be all over my computer: documents, C:, etc. Then I'll reinstall CoH with a clean slate and then do the mods. You helped me learn a lot about this and can't thank you enough!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City Council Michiyo Posted October 22, 2022 Author City Council Share Posted October 22, 2022 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City Council Michiyo Posted October 22, 2022 Author City Council Share Posted October 22, 2022 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AboveTheChemist Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 13 hours ago, Michiyo said: I'm not 100% sure *which one* will show up in game Since the piggs are read alphabetically, I set my map mods up so that the draw order is (from first to last): vidiotmaps (100+ maps) optimal path maps (49 maps) halloween maps (37 maps) winter maps (25 maps) Maps further down that list will overwrite those in the list above them. So the optimal paths maps will overwrite vidiotmaps, but only for those 49 maps contained in the optimal paths map mod. That way vidiotmaps will always be the 'base' set of maps and users can install/uninstall the other mods as needed. 1 Popmenus > Badge List | Optimal Paths | Conversion Possibilities | Emotes Wiki Pages > Costume Color Schemes | Set Bonus Comparison Tables Maps > Vidiotmaps | Optimal Paths | Halloween GM Maps | Winter Gift Maps | Offline Map Viewer Sounds > Banshee Sonic Attack Datasets > Recipe Salvage Components | Badge Name & Settitle ID | Exploration Badge & History Plaque Coordinates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I uninstalled everything then reinstalled city of heroes. It went to C:\Games\HC. Now when I try to install the maps mod,.. This comes up when I Add to Launcher: : HC Launcher Launch parames contains -assetpath assets\mods already! and then it just stops - nothing after that command line. I checked the Settings on the Launch page. Went to Homecoming and "Extra launch parameters:" it's blank. So not sure why it's saying that. It never comes up with "hc_vidiotmaps.pigg Installed.

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?

Be sure to read my post above, available via this link. If you are installing the optimal paths, halloween, and winter maps, then you won't see vidiotmaps in Atlas Park and Skyway. You'll see the winter maps in Atlas and Skyway. I was going to post more info, but the instructions Michiyo just posted should help clarify the issue.

City Council Michiyo Posted October 23, 2022 Author City Council Share Posted October 23, 2022 (edited) 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: Edited October 23, 2022 by Michiyo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
