No spaces in file folders. You'll have to find out what the "short form" of the folder is (e.g. "C:\PROGRA~1" instead of "C:\Program Files"), or rename the folder so there are no spaces in it.

ok severe problem lol, i renamed my folder so it has no spaces, but now the stupid pain in the butt updater wants to reinstall, even when im opening it from the folder :/
There anything i can do other than having to wait for it to run again? its stupid since the files are already there but it refuses to detect them -.-
Return the folders containing your updater to their original wording.
Store the keybinds in a different folder without spaces, e.g., E:\Binds\
Speeding Through New DA Repeatables || Spreadsheet o' Enhancements || Zombie Skins: better skins for these forums || Guide to Guides
kk thanks, stupid updater really needs to be fixed though at some point. Its really annoying. I had the same problem a few weeks ago trying to get onto the EU servers.

It doesn't automatically look in the same folder the updater is it. It wont detect them til you "reinstall" the program to tell it to look for them in the newly named directory.|

Once you tell it the path to install the game the registry is updated, it finds the files, and you play. You shouldn't have to re-download anything.
If you know how to manage the Windows Registry, you can even make the folder change manually.
On a side note, I put all my bind files into a folder called Data within the CoH folder, and I reference the filenames directly. This helps on the longer bind chains because each bind has a character limit and you don't want to exceed that because of path names.
Example:
File location: "C:\Program Files\City of Heroes\data\Siphon1.txt"
To load the file: /bind_load_file Siphon1.txt
You can still separate binds within multiple subfolders too if you want..
File location: "C:\Program Files\City of Heroes\data\Binds\Siphon\1.txt"
To load the file: /bind_load_file Binds\Siphon\1.txt
Note: If you don't have a \data\ directory, the game uses the \piggs\ directory as it's default location. You can just as easily use that folder the exact same way instead. The following still works even if you do have a data folder...
File location: "C:\Program Files\City of Heroes\piggs\Binds\Siphon\1.txt"
To load the file: /bind_load_file Binds\Siphon\1.txt
(If you have files named the same thing in both locations, the copy in the \piggs\ folder seems to take priority)
hey guys,
im quite literally in a bind (crude pun i know but i couldnt help myself lol)
I have been wracking my brain trying to set up a keybind so that a key activates siphon speed, then switchs so when you press it again it siphons power.
I read up on it and have made a folder for it, the command i have for this is as follows:
` "powexec_name siphon speed$$bind_load_file E:\coh american\Keybinds\Siphon2.txt"
the second one being:
` "powexec_name siphon power$$bind_load_file E:\coh american\Keybinds\Siphon1.txt"
Now when i go in game and use the bind_load_file command i get the error message:
Usage:bind_load_file takes 1 args, you gave 2.
Reads a list of keybinds from a file.
bind_load_file <string>
command im using to load is:
/bind_load_file e:\coh american\Keybinds\Siphon1.txt
The key im wanting to bind it to is the ` key, which is right next to space bar on laptop so its convienient and currently just in use for siphon speed, however it seems a waste to be doing one then using the mouse for the other when i could just press it and carry on attacking. I wouldnt use this for Fulcrum Shift, theres not much point because the cooldowns are so different and throwing a 3rd one in would just complicate things further because you would need to cycle through two others to get to one you want.
Any ideas where I broke it?
