« on: October 03, 2012, 12:30:53 PM »
Like me.. thank you.. I seem to have issues trying to use the program due to my lack of computer knowledge and/or skill.

Open City of Heroes.
Log in.
Allow your character to finish loading.
(optional) open your info window to allow Sentinel+ to capture your badges (Menu -> Personal Info or type /info_self)
Alt-Tab out of CoH to find your Sentinel+ shortcut
Double click Sentinel+ shortcut to run.

And that should do it.  The file that Sentinel+ records for your character will be written to the same folder where Sentinel+ is located.

Which means that if you saved the Sentinel program to your desktop then the save files are on your desktop. If you saved the program to C:\Users\Heatstroke\Downloads then your character files are saved there, etc.

For some reason that's confusing a lot of people, I think because somehow they're saving files then 'running as' from the Firefox download manager and never actually looking to where they're saved for real.

If you want to know where you've saved the Sentinel thing for real, and if you're using Firefox, right click the program and hit "Open Containing Folder" and it'll show you where it actually is. Use Tools-> Downloads to open the download manager if you don't know how to do that.

Note: The same sort of thing happens on IE and Chrome, I just don't know what their download managers are called or where to find them.

Just curious, is there a possibility of a Mac version before 11/30? Last I heard, you guys had put out the call for some Mac specialists; don't know if you had any luck. If not, that's cool... none of my characters are so mind-bogglingly complex that they can't be recreated.

The Mac version is linked from the main download page:

http://cit.cohtitan.com/sentinelplus/

It's not quite as straightforward as the Windows one, as you have to drag the app out of the download package to a folder where you want to save the files, and then run it from there, but once you do that it's just a matter if launching the app.

Thank you so very much for this.

I might have been an Assembler programmer back in the day, but that has no relevance to anything on a PC.

I wouldn't use the word "replace," but there's no word for "take over for you and make everything better almost immediately," so we just say "replace."

I've only got two words for that.

OUT! STANDING!

Oh, and thanks!
