Quote:You don't have to include a Map line at all.Originally Posted by The_Killbot_5000
You could Demorecord your character in a short clip, then change the MAP to an invalid one to get a nice blank black background to work with.

Here is an example of what I used to get this image, with a nice blue background (I find black tends to wash out lighter colors, and obscures the edges of characters with darker costumes):
I saved that as "aggelakis.cohdemo", then I played it with Sloth's Demo Launcher, and took a screenshot of the CoH window.Code:1 0 Version 2 0 0 Time 12 0 CAM POS 0 -5000 0 0 CAM PYR 0 0 0 0 555 PLAYER 0 555 NEW "AGGELAKIS" 0 555 COSTUME 1 6b98dd 0.000000 0.039560 0.000000 0.759890 -1.000000 0.663846 -0.480149 0.007121 0.000000 0.710000 0.760000 1.000000 0.110000 1.000000 -0.470000 -1.000000 -1.000000 -1.000000 -1.000000 -1.000000 -1.000000 0.650000 0.710000 0.520000 -1.000000 -1.000000 -1.000000 -0.410000 -0.510000 -0.860000 0 555 PARTSNAME Tight tights !Hips_V_Pattern_Strips_01 00f1a57e 003d1400 0 555 PARTSNAME Tight skin_tights !Chest_Belly_Tee_Long 00f1a57e 00993100 0 555 PARTSNAME V_fem_Head.GEO/GEO_Head_V_Asym_Standard !v_sf_face_skin_head_12 none 004e6131 00737373 0 555 PARTSNAME Loose skin_bare Sleeve 00f1a57e 00737373 0 555 PARTSNAME Hi_Heels leather_01 !Boot_V_Pattern_Stripe_01 00f1a57e 003d1400 0 555 PARTSNAME Tech_04 tech_02a tech_02b 00ffffff 00f1a57e 0 555 PARTSNAME Student_01 Long_01a Long_01b 0000001f 00001c55 0 555 PARTSNAME none none none 00000000 00000000 0 555 PARTSNAME Glasses_06 Glasses_01a Glasses_01b 00000000 00575757 0 555 PARTSNAME Tight base Cross_1 003d1400 00f1a57e 0 555 PARTSNAME none none none 00000000 00000000 0 555 PARTSNAME none none none 00000000 00000000 0 555 PARTSNAME none none none 00000000 00000000 0 555 PARTSNAME none none none 00000000 00000000 0 555 PARTSNAME none none none 00000000 00000000 0 555 PARTSNAME Half Cape_Top_01 none 003d1400 00f1a57e 0 555 PARTSNAME Half_16 Generic_01a Generic_01b 00f1a57e 003d1400 0 555 PARTSNAME none Cape_01 Cape_V_Rings 003d1400 00f1a57e 003d1400 00f1a57e capes/CapeLongFem.fx 0 555 PARTSNAME none none none 00f1a57e 00000000 00000000 00000000 Auras/Female/Gaseous/GasFists.fx 0 555 PARTSNAME none none none 00000000 00000000 0 555 PARTSNAME none none none 00000000 00000000 0 555 PARTSNAME none none none 00000000 00000000 0 555 PARTSNAME none none none 00000000 00000000 0 555 PARTSNAME none none none 00000000 00000000 0 555 PARTSNAME none none none 00ffffff 00ffffff 00ffffff 00ffffff WEAPONS/Custom_Bow/Fem_Bow_Base.fx 0 555 PARTSNAME none none none 00000000 00000000 0 555 PARTSNAME none none none 00000000 00000000 0 555 MOV EMOTE_HANDSONHIPS 0 0 555 POS 0 -5004 -7.45 0 555 PYR 0 .1 0 0 555 HP 1045.00 0 555 HPMAX 1045.00 60000 555 MOV EMOTE_HANDSONHIPS
To replace your character, just demorecord your character (it only needs to be recording as long as it takes you to type /demostop...your character's costume details are recorded IMMEDIATELY upon typing /demorecord filename), and find the blurb in the file that looks like the "PLAYER "PLAYERNAME"" line down to the last PARTSNAME line. Copy that block and paste it overtop of my character's details. It's easiest to do this in a remote part of the game, where there are very few other player characters and few mission doors and few enemies. I like to use the far northern corners of Peregrine Island where there's nothing for miles. It makes it far easier to pick your character out of the demorecord.
You'll note the POS line says "0 -5004 -7.45" ... that sets your character -5004 feet (or whatever the recorder uses for unit measurement) below ground level, which takes the character far below the clouds that would make the background not be a solid color otherwise. -

Quote:KoA and Pylons have +perception. The only enemies that ignore stealth are Rikti Drones and Rularuu eyeballs. This is discussed on the stealth & perception page at the wiki.Originally Posted by StarGeek
And Knives of Artemis (ignores stealth), Rikti Pylons (ignores stealth) and Bane Spider Scouts (huge perception buff).
Probably some more as well. -
Quote:Or a combat aura, ala ACCAHUD/eyebeam.Originally Posted by Forbin_Project
I just watched the video and all I saw was what looked like the visual effect of a power that was activated. The gloves weren't glowing when the scene started. They started glowing after the fight began. It looked like a defense power of some sort in response to the hero attacking.

Quote:That's because, for about the sixth time, the promotion has not officially started at Gamestop for some reason, as per a previous poster speaking directly to Customer Service for Gamestop.Originally Posted by Tannim222
Which may explain the confusion as the $5 receipt (that I have at any rate) does not have any code on it, but it also doesn't contain any specific language that pertains to this exclusive offer either.

Quote:Please link pages. I have no idea what pages you're referring to, so I can't verify whether you are confusing things or the wiki is wrong/confusing.Originally Posted by jacktar
The wiki says that SS gives 35 feet of stealth and that the Stealth IO gives 30 feet so if stacked for a total of 65 feet I should be invisible to everything including AV's (54 feet perception), leaving just GM's and drones able to see me?
I also noted that the wiki describes SS as having a "Minor stealth" element when you look at it's power description but in the "Stealth" page it shows it as 35 feet and then above it, is a section called "Minor stealth" which are rated at 30 feet that does not include SS? Seems to be a contradiction there?

All the information here is correct. -
Quote:No, it's a Sky Raider pack no matter what.Originally Posted by Fulmens
Also, you CAN buy a spare flightpack in FBZ/Grandville- it's a goldbricker one if you already have a raider one, and presumably the other way around.
I've got all three: Safeguard pack, Invention pack, and FBZ pack, and they're all Sky Raider packs. -
Quote:Preordering through Gamestop gets you everything in the 6.99 goodie pack. The 6.99 goodie pack is for people who prepurchased the basic expansion through NCsoft, so they can get the costume bits and stuff. If you preorder through Gamestop, you don't have to buy anything else to get all the goodies.Originally Posted by Jordan_Yen
Are there different bonuses going through NCsoft directly?
I'm all about supporting the game, but I'm not going to turn down free goodies if the price is the same.
Edit: I just checked out the Complete Edition set on Amazon and I can see that there are. Sounds like the best option would be to purchase from Gamestop and add the bonuses for 6.99 each. Then I get all the awesome goodies
I don't suppose anyone has information on the Shadowy Presence invisibility power?
Go in game and type [Shadowy Presence]. -
Quote:For the moment, since you aren't sure on how you're going to structure it, just create a page within your userspace. For instance, if your username was Durakken, you would do something like create this page:Originally Posted by Durakken
i have no idea if that is even possible to do...
If it is I have no problem doing that
and looking around a bit doesn't seem to be a way to do that from a user standpoint
http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/User:Durakken/Lore
(it currently doesn't exist, obviously; you would have to put some text there to create it)
Then, each subpage would have to be created:
http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/User:Durakken/Lore
http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/User:Durakken/Lore/Timeline
http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/User:Durakken/Lore/Rikti
http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/User:Dur.../Hro'Dtohz
http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/User:Dur...er/Other_Stuff
If you ended up getting it fleshed out enough to merit its own section in the wiki, you (or an admin) would then move it to:
http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Lore
...and the subpages would need to be moved as well. I would recommend, if you plan on doing something like this, to just fiddle with layouts/breadcrumbs before working on the actual articles. Only do a few articles to completion before submitting them to the wiki forum for consensus on moving it to main namespace. Wiki forum:

I reserve the right to be wrong, I don't pretend to know even half of what more active question answerers know.When you are on some kind of /hide, it says [YOU ARE HIDDEN] when you reply to someone, and it says that you are hidden or offline to the person that sent you the /tell; it does not give an auto-reply. That'd completely defeat the purpose of /hiding from /tells.Quote:Originally Posted by Aggelakis

Quote:Uh. Ouroboros Portal. I mentioned this, above.Originally Posted by TheJazMan
I'd like a wiki for OUR toons only. Their stories and how/if they tie into the CoH canon/lore.

Rick is not affiliated with Titan Network. He misspoke.
I am affiliated with Titan Network (as an admin at Paragon Wiki), and while I think the idea is interesting, I doubt the rest of Titan would want to host another wiki, especially since it would cover information that could easily be added to Paragon Wiki (as long as it is sourced, any information can be added to PWiki).
The Ouroboros Portal is for player-created content (character pages, supergroup pages, fiction, etc), so this would not belong there. -
Quote:I have stated the fact, and I have seen others state the fact, that global mail circumvents the character->character email filter a large number of times since I17 went into open beta. In fact, it might even be on ParagonWiki, but I'm too lazy to look. If it's not, it should be, since it's a tidbit that a very large number of players are not aware of.Originally Posted by Forbin_Project
1. I haven't received a single email spam since the filter went active and I turned mine on. I went from getting 20-30 a day to zero. That tells me that they aren't aware of it, because if they were I'd still be getting the spam.
2. Just because they make a living at getting around filters doesn't mean we should assume that they are already aware of the work around.
3. She could have told him via PM.
Also, telling him via PM doesn't tell the other people reading this thread (legitimate players or no) about that fact.
And honestly, I'm hoping they start using the global mail for spam. Then the devs have to realize that their filtering is subpar at best. -
Quote:Global mail circumvents the filter. It's only character->character mail that gets filtered. Global->global mail gets through no matter what the filter's set at.Originally Posted by Dark Ether
Well, the email restriction was nice and all....until the institution of the ability to email stuff to someone. If you had the friends list restriction on and asked if someone could send you a wakie, for example, they couldn't unless they were on your friends list, if I'm understanding that correctly.
So the tool that's there to greatly restrict unwanted email is now hampered by a new feature. -
Quote:No developer said that. It was an OCR member that said something similar. (I think Niviene? I am too lazy to go looking in the announcements forum.) They said there were NO PLANS for preorder bonuses. They NEVER EVER said there would NEVER EVER be preorder bonuses. Why do people insist on misrepresenting what the rednames said?Originally Posted by KingSnake
I'm positive i'd read Posi or someone say there was NO perpurches perks at brick and morter stores. (gamestop). That was, in part, the reason for picking it up online. And what perks came with the complete addition were going to be sold seperetly online later.
I KNOW i read. This, contruducts that. Bait and Switch? No, not quite... but it's close IMO. If i'd have known about THIS, i'd have reconsidered my actions eairler. DB was a nice perk, but i could have waited, and would have rather to get these perks... But i didnt KNOW. Until now. After the fact. And... how many people you think will go ahead and get both? Feels kind of slimy to me. Like something Crypitc would do. -
Quote:You keep trying to bring morality into a business decision that has nothing to do with ethics or morality.Originally Posted by Disappearing Girl
Moral most certaintly does not equal word hedging.
You really dont understand the difference?
I'll repeat that I said they aint highly unethical but its hardly straight forward and honest.
The sensible business desicon was to go with changing from no other preorder perks, to whatthey have done, in responce to when they recieved this offer.
At the time that they said "there are no plans for preorder bonuses", there were no plans for preorder bonuses. How does morality come into this statement?
Later on down the line, they get an offer they would be stupid to refuse from Gamestop for preorder bonuses. This does not invalidate their previous statement that, at the time of prepurchase release, there were no plans for preorder bonuses. There is no morality in this decision. It's pure business.
YOU are the one trying to assign some kind of moral ambiguity to their decision, when morals have nothing to do with it. -

Hey, I'll make a character with flamey boots and you can say they're my character's boots. That way they're definitely not ambiguously maybe possibly perhaps Bayani's boots!
In fact, with over a hundred characters, I probably already have a character with flamey boots.

Quote:Uh, they never said they WOULDN'T. They said there were no plans to, at the time. And there weren't. There is a very big difference. One means they went back on their word (tantamount to lying). The other means they changed their minds. They have also said there are no current plans to offer a second preorder bonus through another store. But that doesn't mean "definitely will not make plans", it means "there are no plans RIGHT NOW".Originally Posted by Disappearing Girl
Not staying I think Paragon has been highly unethical but its not excatly a high moral ground to be doing something they said they wouldnt.

Quote:Uh, I never implied there is some mythical "one true way" to implement anything.Originally Posted by Stargazer
If there is no actual difference in how they behave, then that's merely a semantical distinction.
It also implies that there is a One True Way to implement BoP, and that doesn't seem plausible.
No, the function that the game uses definitely matters. It might not matter TO YOU, but it definitely matters to the game. The game doesn't have BoP, end of discussion, finalized by Castle. The only thing it has is restrictions in trades/sales/etc. Because games break in weird ways, a BoP style function would break in different ways than restricting trades/sales/etc.Quote:Originally Posted by Golden Girl
It's the end result that matters, not the coding - if a player can only use an item on the avatar that received it, then it's a bound item, regardless of the type of code used to tied it to the avatar.
And believe me, to any game designer/programmer, there is DEFINITELY a difference in BoP and trade/sale/etc. restriction. And we have plenty of those in our midst. -
I'm pretty sure they removed UCP viewing of comments because it was broken. You couldn't keep the comments collapsed (so they would open up every time you visited UCP), and because of this, people saw all the awful things people had to say, anonymously, about them, regardless if it was true or not. [edit: And I'm not saying this because I saw other people comment about it. It happened to me personally, every time I visited my UCP to check out my favorite threads/forums, I saw the comment list and had to re-collapse it.]
Turn off the UCP listing and you've solved about 80% of the problem of rep in the first place. The other 20% could be solved by turning off the rep plugin.
