Yep. The telepads are visually identical to the old ones.

Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

The Hacked Teleporter and the Basic Teleporter look the same (to me anyway). They use the same energy and control (50 and 25 respectively). The differences are six destinations vice two and a placement cost of 22500 vice 15000.|

I was still unable to make beacons to the "opposite side" (for example to blue only zones from a villain base).
The Pocket D beacon looked nice and I heard the Grandville one was fixed too.
All I know so far.
One man's terrorist is another man's freedom (or freem?) fighter; just as one man's exploit is another man's feature.

Here's the Basic Teleporter and the Hacked Teleporter side-by-side.
I didn't take a screen shot, but the Arcane teleporters are also identical in appearance.

ok...i've just started building a base...i've read about hacked telepads...now i want one...or at least four...but that's not the point...what does it take to get one? basic work table...check...prestige for days...check...enough power and control? who knows...all i do know is that it is not listed as a crafting option on the basic work table....so what does it take to get it?
1. Wait for I22 to go Live.
2. ?
3. Profit.

Really disappointed to hear / see that. At least for the tech version, was hoping for a tri-terminal look to it. Not sure how an improved arcane version would look like, but going that small extra step for updated art would have been pretty nice.|

I'll certainly be using them, but it'll be pretty "meh" once they are placed.
I've already forgotten about most of you
I think maybe it's a test run.
If it goes well, maybe we'll see some new telepad designs as well.
Frankly, I don't know why they don't just make the Base Entry portal able to exit to any zone and remove the need for telepads completely.

How do you attach them then? How about this...|

Nice layout Zombie Man!
Oh if only there -was- text on the beacons. Villain-side tends to be darker and more difficult to distinquish one from the next.

That's not a photoshopped screencap.

Nice. Hadnt even thought to look for an overlay for the beacons.
Have the room limits been adjusted????
It would be dumb to have to have the large gp room for two telepads....

The room limits only address the number of telepads, don't they? Not the number of Beacons?
Quote:
I think it depends on the room... I thought there was one room that only allowed one beacon (silly).|

Plus I can't even get the beacons to stick to the sides or the front of the teleporters. How are y'all doing that? Is there a trick or does it just take a lot of patience? My beacons are all snapping to the walls.
Quote:
Yeah. The trick is to position a Cubicle where you want the beacons. The walls of the cubicle act like valid mounting locations for the beacons.

Put the unzipped files from base_city.zip to this directory under your main CoH directory...
Code:
\data\texture_library\WORLD\V_COV\Bases\Details\Functional\base_tele_aux\
Code:
\data\texture_library\WORLD\V_COV\Bases\Details\Functional\base_tele_arc_aux\
As to making the beacons 'stick' to the telepad, you have to float a sticky 'wall' superimposed on the telepad and then stick the beacon to that floating wall. The most used sticky wall is the office partition cubicle. Here's how to float an object:
After initially placing an item, shift+click+drag will allow you vertical control over the moment; ctrl+click+drag will move the item only on its horizontal plane (though sometimes hard walls like to trick up the placements); and alt+click+drag will rotate the item, sometimes around its central axis, sometimes around the central axis of its placement box, and sometimes around an arbitrary point - it varies by item.

Hm, so that's how....I may try that. For now I simply lowered the floor, installed the TP units, increased the ceiling and then put the 6 beacons on the ceiling above the TP unit. |

Still it's nice to go from 9 tp units to 4. 3 Hacked units for the regular zones, 1 hacked unit in a separate room linked to the hazard areas and one raid TP unit.

Ignoring anyone is a mistake. You might miss something viral to your cause.
