So I tried...

Last week I had the oppurtunity to watch Dark Man again after a long time. I always remembered it as a pretty awesome movie, although I never read the comic books.

With that being said, the thought "Hey, let's try and remake him in Co-!"

So, after hours of figuring out that I can't completely recreate him look for look, this is what I came up with.

He's a Scrapper Street Justice/Willpower.

What do you think?

You gotta work on your copy & paste skills :P

Yeah, that's 3 screenshots terribly pasted.

For some reason it's a little odd to take a screenshot in game using the copy and paste method. Often times it takes a screenshot of a screen that I was on minutes before. Really odd.

Strike one up to laziness I suppose for not cropping out the old pastes.

we should have a bandaged head option, not sure why we were never given mummy options :/ and as a cape option, could have hanging bandaged

Yeah, that was the biggest challenge; finding something that was relatively close to looking like it since there is no bandaged face option.

Graphical map clipping glitch.. game related.


EDIT: Also wouldn't mind the duster sub option in the trenchcoat section.

I know...I have an idea for a mummy girl but there are NO parts to it

my medusa school girl finally got her snake hair though (after 6 years of getting used to it being tentacle hair instead and somewhat wishing they had good tentacle non-snake hair)

no pleasing some people

sigh

I use Fraps to take screenshots in game. Gets around the "screenshot ends up being a memory cached screen image from a minute before" issue.

if you want good pic editing software - go for GIMP. It's completely free and almost as versatile as Photoshop.

Not sure it includes spare feet if you ever need them.

I can't recall the movie it was so long ago since I seen it but I seem to recall thinking it's effectivel the same disguise as the Invisible Man wore in H.G. Well's novel.

Really? I used the in-game screenshot function to take a picture of a character doing a taunt (katana pointing), and it caught it fine.

League of Extraordinary Gentlemen shows him wearing that disguise(invisible man)... and you're right, very similar

Sometimes it takes a picture of something in the memory cache as another poster stated. It's an odd occurence, and only seems to happen to me with CoX

The Snipping Tool found in Vista and 7 works very well for doing screenshots in game as well.

I haven't seen the cached image using the Print Screen key in XP, but have in Vista and 7. I seldom do screenshots using the /screenshot command, so that may not get the same result. I'm in the process of working on a computer that doesn't have CoH installed (and I'm not installing it on someone else's computer without permission) so I can't test this right now. Maybe tomorrow I'll be able to test it.

Of course, the Vista and 7 computers had beefier video cards with more graphics memory as well. It could be an issue with video cards with larger memory capabilities rather than an OS specific issue. Since I don't have a beefier video card to put in an XP machine to test with or a wimpy card to put in the Vista or 7 machines, I can't tell if this is where the problem is or not.


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.

Yeah, it never happened with xp for me either.

I also notice a cached image right before i exit the game as well.

Oh, must be because of my quad-SLI setup. When I use the normal in-game screen shot option I end up capturing an image that was cached on one of my video cards from moments before.

But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

Hah, that still doesn't explain why it happens to me >.>
