Tequila Just Won't Launch...

[Warborg]

Hi,

 

Desperate to get back into Paragon City.

I have Tequila and games files downloaded.  I'm pretty sure they're in a Read & Write folder as I've set it to Full Control.

 

I can see Tequila.exe *32 running in Processes.

 

If I try the Paragon Chat in the same folder, right-click and Open, I at least get options to Launch / Repair etc...

 

I've downloaded and dropped a working xml file from  the thread Silk has but when I double click Tequila or right click > Open (even as Admin), there is a small change to the open window but nothing launches :(

 

Any one had similar and able to resolve?

 

TIA

What doesn't it do exactly? the play button shows up and?

 

Do you even get that far?

You have score selected?

1. Anything at all.  No play button. When I try to open or double click, nothing happens.  Paragon Chat will prompt me to launch and I've just launched Icon and toyed with costumes okay.

 

2. No.  :(

 

3. I don't understand this one.  I see Score referenced in various places but how and where would I select it?

Did you follow my guide? Look down at my siggy.

 

Not sure  how you went about downloading the game files as there a few ways to go about it.

 

Essentially you have the game files i24 or i25 and have the home brew launchers of which there are a couple.

 

Tequila (it's a launcher) is for windows and Island Rum is for Mac.

 

Once you have downloaded the game files you stick them in a place like C:\Games\City of Heroes then you install Tequila (or Island Rum) right inside that City of Heroes folder. Now you should have the Tequila.exe and other tequila files and the game files all mixed together.  (If your torrent included the Tequila.exe in it just run that to install and point tequila to the city of heroes folder via the options button of the tequila launcher)

 

It should look like this:

 

If instead of PLAY has ------ then  for some reason it's not seeing the game files.... click option, go to install path and browse, choose city of heroes.  Then hit revalidate, the launcher should update and read what's in your City of Heroes folder and play should light up.

 

All this is done while SCORE is highlighted.  You DO NOT start or launcher the game with Paragon or Titan highlighted.

 

If you get errors the guide has lots of fixes in the OP for various things.

I can't se ethe choices because the manifest seems bad already. Was just working last night?

I just update the Tequila.xml  attachment in my guide.

Thanks Silk.  I've pored over your guide and it's good.

 

I've downloaded Tequila.exe with the link and I've tried it with the torrent to get the game files.

It did include the Tequila launcher.

When I double click or right click Open; nothing really happens.  If I right click, run as Admin. then click Yes when the little box appears, nothing happens.

 

Going from several sources, the game files look to be missing the 8k SCORE.exe and when I look in the xml, there is no 'exec' for score....

Nor does it have the rows of code.

 

Is this why I can launch Icon & PChat but not Score/Tequila?

Just added the new xml form your link but I reckon I'm missing the SCORE application (exe)

Yes, that would be it.

Read my install guide, and look on page 4 I have a post there that shows all the files you should have in your city of heroes folder and even how big they should be.
