New PC - are there any files I must move Manually?

[TinaMC]

I want to make sure that when I install COH on the new pc that it is exactly as it was on the old pc. Are there any locally saved files that I need to copy and move myself? I appreciate your time and patience with this old boomer : P

If you do a backup of your preferences in-game the fresh install will use those from the account profile. You may want to make a copy of you playerslot.txt file if you have a lot of toons and like the way they are organized. Now Binds, not sure, there are others here with a better grasp of those. Over all, the game remembers your accounts settings for the most part, but might be good to have your old pc available just in case. If you are using the Modding tool or Vidiots Maps those will need to be reinstalled Manually.

I would save a copy of your HC folder.

 

Stuff stored locally:

Saved preferences, binds, costumes, AE missions, screenshots, and logs.    Also, any mods installed such as popmenus.

Also as I recall, character sorting, "fog of war" status on maps. AE missions also includes custom groups.

 

Easiest way to get to everything is to use the HC launcher and go to "Screenshots." Believe both mac and PC give the breadcrumbs at the top (your path will be different)  -

Go back one folder ("Homecoming" in this case). Most of what you want is going to be in there.

Account (which will have a subfolder with things like player notes and such)

Architect

Screenshots

Costumes

Powercust (your power customizations)

Demo (does anyone demorecord any more?)

Logs

 

You may not have all of these, and most of the rest should as I recall be automated. Whether you want to move screenshots and logs over or just archive them somewhere is up to you.

It's a handy function for mapping stuff since it's a text file.
