That one works Tic.
As a hint to anyone else that follows the link, if you are using Internet Explorer you need to right-click the Download File link and select Save Target As .. In the prompt that comes up, find your City of Heroes installation folder and open the Custom_Critters folder. Save the file into that folder. If you simply left-click the link, it will open the file as a text file in Internet Explorer. You can select all of the text and paste it into Notepad then save it in the Custom_Critters folder under the name Tic_Toc.critter but it's much easier to just right-click and do the Save Target As .. steps.
If you use Firefox, left-click on the Download File link and select Save to Disk and click OK. In the box that pops up, navigate to the Custom_Critters folder and save it.
Both save methods I listed above (not counting the text file in IE) will already have the name as Tic_Toc.critter so you don't have to enter the name.
It's nice that the .critter files are simple text files, since you can view them in any text editor. I prefer Notepad, but WordPad, Word, or any other text editor should work equally well. I know that Notepad won't add any extra characters or try to convert anything to HTML which is why I use it, plus it's part of the default Windows installation.
If you download anyone's file from File Qube, use the steps I listed above and you'll be fine.

If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

I wish they weren't quite so monstorous, or we could just post them here in the forums.

Yeah, I feel like the way things are saved could use a lot of tightening up, but I'm not the one programming them, so whatever. I'll get some of my characters made into custom characters later and post it in there in case anyone wants to grab a couple and use them.
Oops, posted in the wrong thread. Great idea Tic. Ill be sure to use both yourself and Plasma in one of my story arcs.
Try not to make yourself into a joke, Igi.
OK, that reads as more harsh then it sounded in my head. I apologize.
fwiw, I'd be happy to provide my toons and I think this is a great idea

I think the problem was I put up a link to the non-shared URL. It looked fine to me of course, because I was logged in.
Give this one a try:
