Hi fellow Paragon Chatters!
Not being happy with just flipping from one costume to the next during my evening, I decided the other day that I needed to get the costume change emotes working. This, I HAVE DONE! (sorta). I've got the animations to play, BUT you have to do the actual costume changing part yourself. It's not perfect, but it works once you get the timing right!

Anyway. Being a horrible swine that I am, I refuse to make thing TOO easy for people (even newbies. Sorry, time you learned something!), I'm not going to just give you the files to plug in. Instead, I'm just going to give you what you need to know and tell you what to do.

Almost all the work done, just not quite!
Okay, so. Time to start! Note. This is for Windows only. If you're on a Mac, I can't help you.
1. In Windows Explorer, open the folder at %APPDATA%\Paragon Chat\Config
2. Open the file emote.cfg in a text editor of your choice.
3. Go to the bottom of the file, ignore what's in there.
4. Paste the following into it. EXACTLY as I've put. Don't go changin' nuffin!

5. Save the file then close it.
6. Start Paragon Chat. If you did it right, it will start with no errors. If you FUBAR'd, it will error that emote.cfg is missing. Go back and try again, doofus.

7. Load CoH and once you're in a zone, test one of the emotes. (I recommend /e ccnuke :p)
8. Work out how to time a costume change during the nice animation yourself!
I have also, out of the kindness of my cold black dead heart, written you folks a mnu file. if you don't know where those go, go look in the Icon forum for help.
1. Create the text file cos.mnu
2. Open it and paste the following:
// POPMENU File for Paragon Chat Costume Changes
//
Menu "cos"
{
Menu "Costume Changes"
Option "CCBackFlip" "e CCBackFlip"
Option "CCCast" "e CCCast"
Option "CCConfettiThrow" "e CCConfettiThrow"
Option "CCDimensionShift" "e CCDimensionShift"
Option "CCDrinkFormula" "e CCDrinkFormula"
Option "CCEnergyMorph" "e CCEnergyMorph"
Option "CCEvilLaugh" "e CCEvilLaugh"

Option "CCStoneBlock" "e CCStoneBlock"
Option "CCSuperSerum" "e CCSuperSerum"
Option "CCVanguardSigil" "e CCVanguardSigil"
Option "CCWarshade" "e CCWarshade"
}
}
3. Save the file, then load it into CoH as you normally would. For giggles, I stuck mine in the custom command window you'll find in another thread.
Have fun guys, and if you can't get it to work, read the instructions again!

BTW: CCStoneBlock doesn't seem to actually work right, but I put it in there anyway.
