Slash command to log out

I've found myself using /quit to exit a /lot/ lately, and really pining for a similarly quick and easy way to get back to the log in screen, but haven't seen/found such a command.... anyone know it?

You can use /buycoh to do that. It will pop up a [Yes] [No] box about being on a trial, but that doesn't matter. Just click yes, or make a bind of /buycoh $$ dialog_yes to log back to the log in screen.

There are only two things to keep in mind here:

1) It will automatically open a web browser window and load the PlayNC Store.
2) If 30 seconds hasn't passed when you type in your name & password and log in, it will tell you that the account is already logged in. Just ignore it, and click Log In again. I just press [Enter] twice, once to clear the message and then to log me in.

"\q" works for me. "\" is the shortcut to open the main game menu, and "q" is the mnemonic to select the "Quit" menu item. That brings up the "Quit to Login"/"Quit to Desktop" window.

This is what I always use, works like a charm.

I use /buycoh all the time as well. It's by far one of my most used slash commands, even if it's not really being used as intended.

I just use "quit$$dialogyes" for instant desktop and then open a new client.. or have a second copy of the client running in the background and simply log it in (which kicks me off the other client automatically).

the "buycoh$$dialog_Yes" crashes me as well... once in a hard crash that required the reset button.

I'm not sure what the problem is, as a couple of SG mates have no problems with it and a couple more crash every time. I'd guess it's something hardware related?

Try instead:

/bind <key> "+ $$buycoh$$dialogyes"

I haven't tested it, but in theory, it'd bring up /buycoh on keydown, then select /dialogyes on keyup. Don't press the key too fast or it'll muck up.

I like to think my system is well above what people recommend to run the game these days, though I admit I have not upgraded since I built a new system a year and a half ago. Either way.. as far as specifications go.. I've got them.

However, I suppose it could be a hardware's driver, or even the OS itself that isn't handling it well.

For comparison, I'm running NVidia on WinXP using the 190.62 drivers. Processor is Intel Core2Quad. ~4GB ram.
Also, my default browser is FireFox, and that's the browser that opens for me.

Manually clicking on the "YES" does not crash me.

Preceding "+$$...." doesn't delay the commands, but make the whole string run on keypress, and then again on keyrelease. The reason it works for "powexec.." strings is because of the nature of those commands (and even then, if you hold the key long enough fo the power to recharge, it'll go off again when you finally release).

Anything else, it doesn't really work the way you might think. As soon as it runs the string once, it'd crash just the same as before.. before you even got a chance to release the key.

And for the record.. I did just test it anyway.

Also, for proof of concept, try doing something like this:
/bind <key> "+ $$L Line1$$L Line2"

Result:
Player_Name: Line1
Player_Name: Line2
Player_Name: Line1
Player_Name: Line2

There has always been a 30 second timer on the quit function.

It is to prevent you from quiting out of a situation that would cause debt.

All of the different "quick switch" methods that have been mentioned will not stop you current character from having the 30 second timer.

They only allow you to switch your current connection to a different character without going back to the main login screen.

So why not use the /q or /quit? Because you don't want to restart the client. Then use the menu option to "sign out" of the current character and go back to the character selection screen.


Sometimes, I impress my boss. Sometimes, I impress myself. The rest of the time, I scare people. I can live with that.

True, but misleading..

The character will still have the 30 second timer, but it CAN be interrupted. Logging into the client while your "account is still online" will immediately kick your account offline and "poof" your character without any kind of countdown.

Logging back in (with the same account) at the same location does NOT result in you standing next to yourself counting itself offline. lol

EVERY method still takes you to the main login screen.

Okie dokie, then you can get the same results from bindfiles and two key presses:

quit1.txt (for this example, located in c:\binds\)
Quote:
p buycoh$$bindloadfile c:\binds\quit2.txt
quit2.txt (for this example, located in c:\binds\)
Quote:
p dialogyes$$bindloadfile c:\binds\quit1.txt
(change 'p' to whatever key or key-combo you want to use)

Then ingame:
/bindloadfile c:\binds\quit2.txt



OR you can do it on two keys:
/bind o buycoh
/bind p dialogyes
-- hit o, then hit p.

That worked for me (activating the bind on the keypress) three times in a row without crashing. You definitely do *not* want to put a "+ $$" in front of it.
Just tried that, and it totally crashed the CoH application out. Interesting. Mileage seems to vary widely in regard to using this bind.

Further testing is showing me that the "dialogyes" is what's crashing it for me.

Crashed me:
/bind F7 "buycoh$$dialogyes"

Aggelakis' separate binds crashed me as soon as I pressed P:
/bind o buycoh
/bind p dialogyes

I even tried just tying it in the chat, and it still crashed me:
/buycoh
/dialogyes

The only time I got to a successful login screen was by manually clicking YES.

All my characters use /bind CTRL+X "buy_coh$$dialog_yes"

Not had any crashing issues so far but maybe I've been lucky

I'm curious.. for the people that have it working fine every time..

What OS do you have, and which default browser do you use?

I know it's not supposed to make any difference Master Blade, but have you tried using buy_coh and dialogue_yes with the underscores?

Considering how anything, no matter how unlikely or odd, can be the culprit when it comes to problems and code, ya never know...
