Did I get the wrong version? I am getting the map when I finish travelling?
I love this Bind, Great job, it makes TP a power I will finally use frequently.

Ok used this last night and yes this program does rock
second forget all my questions above
but now I have some issues I used the program several times to create binds and getting it to be just right. I moved the bind to rshift because I am a left shift cap guy. so now I have like two reset keys and a couple keys binded to TP. and it is realy messing with stuff. I even when and erased the folder were I stored the bind. but it still auto loads the bind and now I have no shift key for typing. how do you unload your binds. how can I get my toon back to no binds help me plz
*edit to explain my screw ups and ask for help*

No, you didn't get the wrong version. That's an oversight of mine that I will fix in the next build. Refer to this post I made previously in response to that.

Unfortunately, that was an oversight of mine that I will fix in the next build. In the mean time, go to the directory where you saved the text files and open teleport_on1.txt. In the first line you'll see $$window_show map somewhere. Delete that and it should fix your problem.
Hope that helps!

I love this program more than I love taffy... and I'm a woman who loves her taffy.
Mmmmm..... taffy...
A fix around the map bug is to click it on in the program.
Seems to fix it.
Take a dash of Illuminati, add a sprinkle of Mafia and just a touch of Omnipresnce and a healthy helping of mob violence...

Why is mine saying this error when I enter the bind in my combat log:
"Usage: bind_load_file takes 1 arg, you gave 2.
Reads a list of keybinds from a file.
bind_load_file <string>"
I am following the directions of the program.
I even clear previous keybinds and I have no clue now.
What is the exact command you're using to try and load the bind?
Or can you load the bind fine, but it says that when you're trying to use it?
I copy and paste the exact line that the program gives me. It says that error when I paste that into the chat bar.
Could you paste the exact line that's not working here?

I am guessing the <string> that you are entering has a space. Be sure to include the string in " quotes " so it is treated as 1 arguement.

Yes, please. To help you, I'll need to know exactly what line the program is producing.
OK, I put the file in the TP program folder itself, and I noticed there was one space in that file name. Thank you for pointing that out. Are we supposed to to a bind for each of the 4 files tho? I noticed just doing the reset one didnt do anything other than let me reset.
When you create the bind, it should create all 4 files in whatever directory you choose. It will always by default, however, create a teleport folder in the directory you choose. The files are stored in that folder.
Ok, I'm a complete computer dumb dumb. I just recently bought the game and someone led me to this post since I use Teleport.
My problem is (embrassingly):
1. What is a bind anyway?
2. What exactly does this program do? How does it alter Teleport the way it normally is?
3. I downloaded the program but now what? There's no help files or any step by step procedures so I have no idea what to change and what to leave alone.
4. Warshade, Peacebringer? What are these?
5. What's the difference between Shift and Toggle?
Basically, is there any "noob" user friendly guide to use this? I fooled around with it for a little bit but I don't notice any changes and I get a Bind exceeds Maximum length error.

1. A bind is a means to assign powers, commands, emotes, etc from the game to a specific button or buttons on your keyboard and/or mouse.
2. Many members of the community are not happy with how teleport works. This bind does several things to try to make it more user friendly as it is the travel power with the highest learning curve. To activate teleport normally without a bind, you need to click on it in the power tray. A targeting reticle comes up to allow you to target where you want to teleport to. This is a very slow process and not efficient at all. Also, teleport is not firendly to those players who have slow machines or dial-up. Most people will bind teleport to something like 'E' for example so that they can hit it and the reticle will come up. This is more efficient, but I wanted to take things several steps further.
My bind can change the graphical settings on demand so that teleporting becomes easier for slower machines. It can also hide User Interface windows that may get in your way while teleporting.
3. Teleport Type: Originally, I tried to make an all-in-one bind for Peacebringers, Warshades, and normal heroes. I found limitations to this, however. Since you had to ask about this. Just leave it on normal for now.
Mode: This chooses between toggle and shift which I will discuss later.
Shift/Toggle Key: This assigns the modifier key for teleport. Essentially, whatever key you assign to this will be the key you use to activate the reticle.
Reset Key: This is the same concept as the shift/toggle key except this key resets the bind if something goes wrong with the bind.
Normal Settings and Teleport Settings: The descriptions here are just how they sound. These are the settings for when not in teleport mode and when in teleport mode. If you have a slow machine, you'll want to set the world detail lower for teleport. Camera distance is based on personal preference. I find the camera to be further out is handy.
Items Shown in Teleport Mode: This allows you to choose what windows you want to be displayed while in Teleport mode. By default, I have it set to Navigation only because you want to know where you're going, right?
Choose Directory: This allows you to choose the directory on your computer where you want the bind to be placed.
Exit: This closes the program.
Once you have chosen the directory, some more windows will come up giving you the necessary information to load the bind.
4. Warshades and Peacebringers are Epic Archetypes. They inherently have teleport powers, but they go by different names, so different binds need to be made for them.
5. Shift mode allows you to hold down the shift/toggle key and go into teleport mode. You will be in teleport mode while it is held down. Once you let go, you will be in normal mode. I use this mode in missions for example when I teleport into a mob and don't need to teleport again.
Toggle mode makes long distance travel easier. You hit the shift/toggle button and stay in teleport mode until you hit the button again.
The reason I think my bind is better than most others is simply because of the diversity and it's the only one of its nature that keeps the targeting reticle up. All binds of a similar nature would leave you on your on essentially as far as where you would end up after a teleport.
I hope this all helps.
Okay - I've tried this a number of ways and continue to receive errors:
When I try the program by itself I get the following:
Usage bind uses 1 arg you are using 4
Now I believe I understand that this means there are too many spaces in the string - here is what I'm typing in the chat window:
/bind_load_file "c:\Program Files\City of Heroes\teleport\reset.txt"
I've also tried the install program, but get the error that a msvcrt.dll file is already in use and then I exit and VB stops responding.
I'll keep trying, but thought I would post to see what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks in advance for any help!
P.S. I should mention in passing that I'm a complete idiot when it comes to binds (unless they're adjustable via the options menu in game )

Still receiving the same errors. 
Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I've tried a couple of different binds and methods of loading, but nothing is helping.

I would give installing it into a directory without spaces in the name a try. That might help. It can be a little picky sometimes.

Dang it. I didn't think that'd be a problem which is why I incorporated both Warshade teleport powers into that bind. I will look that over and try to fix it soon. I'll have to bug someone to test it for me. Volunteers?

Any happy fun progress on this yet or no? Simple enough to get a new bind to handle it for Human-form, but

I just used this, my friend you are a god amongst insects.
I tried installing the program this afternoon and encountered an obstacle I would like to know if anyone else seen. During the installation process the program informs me I have components that are out of date and need to be updated. Giving the program permission to update these files prompts to reboot for the changes to take place. After rebooting I launch the setup program again and I am once again prompted to update component files.
Doing some research on the net I found the problem on the Microsoft support page found here .
I tried resetting the TEMP directories and performing everything in safe mode. I also verified the registry key was set correctly before the system was rebooted. However after every reboot the old files would remain and the new ones would not replace them.
I then tried to do it manually but approximately 5 seconds after coping the new resource file located on the CAB file provided in the 2 Meg zip the old one would over write back into the system32 directory. Has anyone else had this problem and if so were you able to develop a work around?
This is on a Win2000 SP4 machine. If relevant I have both Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 and 2.0 installed. Thank you very much.
