Command line for Going Rogue skin?

[GnomeDePlume]

I found that I could use the "launch parameters" field in Tequila to add a " -cov" and get the game to start up in the City of Villains skin, just like in live.  But I'm not sure how to start the game using the Going Rogue skin and startup screen.

 

Does anyone know how to find the command line switches that may be relevant?

 

I found some of them documented on the Paragon Wiki page linked below, but the GR skin wasn't one of them.

Thanks!

I don't think there is a Going Rogue skin. There are CoH and CoV skins because they were both standalone games. For the first 5 issues, there was only City of Heroes; issue 6 coincided with the release of another standalone game called City of Villains. People who bought City of Villains did not have access to the hero part of the game, meaning you had 2 different game clients, one for each side. Eventually the Good vs Evil edition came out which merged the 2 game clients into 1. For this reason you can use -cov to open the City of Villains themed client.

When Going Rogue came out, even though it was a paid expansion, it was exactly just that: an expansion. It wasn't a standalone project like City of Villains was which is the reason why I don't believe there is a client skin for it (and also because I've never seen it either). Of course I might be wrong...

I think it's very possible you're right that there's no command line.  There *is* a skin that you can see is different if you "Quit to Login Screen" after having been on a Praetorian toon.

 

If it worked the same way as CoV, it feels like there might be a way to choose that as the default when starting up the game instead of having it only change after logging out of a particular character.

So I found this on youtube and it reminded me that at some point there was this splash screen and this music when the game launched (are we up to something here?). Still I don't think there was a way to force the client to open this way unless you'd roll the client back to when this expansion was launched (issue 18 I think).

Client Skin: If you want that golden Going Rogue skin when you log on and have Tyrant, Desdemona, and Maelstrom greet you, the tag for the client's command line is: -uiskin 2

 

It still works, just tested.

Wonderful... thank you!
