Scenic Locations -- Maps, Coordinates and screenshots

[Arachnion]

EDIT: Nevermind, found an old post explaining what I was asking.

[Hotaru]

I started around 4 years ago also (maybe 5, lost track once vet badges broke), and always felt a little intimidated by the "played since beta" vets. The best part about the LRT glitch was getting to see the places I had heard about but never seen -- old pre-flood Faultline, and the original Rikti Crash Site.

I'd like to thank you for sharing the LRT glitch with us, Codewalker. I used it over on Beta to demo fly-thrus for Old Faultline and the Ritki Crash Site. Good times. Glad I did it over there, though--put a copy of my main into the PDP, but it timed out every time I tried to long in with him. Had the same happen to a second character I ported in there.

Any you, of all people, shouldn't be intimidated by vet players. As someone who followed the game for a year or two before beta, I'm sheepish about pigg-diving in the same files frequented by the Codewalker.

Summary Description: Gazebo in Winter Chalet (Pocket D Winter Event)

It's weird.  When I use this map, I get the normal Pocket D.  I'm just floating there, outside of the D.

However, I have a demo file recorded during the Winter Event at the D.  Same map name, but when I play that back, I get the ski chalet

[Floride]

I'm lookin for a map.
I believe it was a mid-level tip mission, but I could be wrong. Could've been red or blue side.
You entered a cave that was iced over on the inside. You could slide all around in it, and there was an awesome blue bloom effect in the whole cave (with fog too, if I'm not mistaken). From the door you'd go maybe 200 feet to an ice wall with a female figure carved into it. You'd destroy the ice wall and wave after wave of ambushes (redcaps and tuatha) would come at you from beyond it.
Am I the only one who remembers this mission? At the time there were several missions that added blue, pink, and other bloom hues to the whole map that made them really stand out.

I don't know the mission, but I suspect it might have been the baby new year map with a strategically placed destructable door/wall that had hitpoints, which means you would need both the map and the object.  Ideally someone has the demorecord (I'm betting Chaos ex Machina might since he was inventorying it all) since that would be a bit easier than trying to place the door maually.

[Floride]

Nope, not even close to the BNY map. Kinda like frosted up tuatha caves - 2 large round cave-lobbies right after each other, just inside the door. After which was the ice wall/door/thing. It broke in stages like a bank vault door and was the same size as one. It was elevated on a stage like it would be a backdrop for an altar. A VERY unique map.
I'll bet there was some original fog effect to go with it too. The whole map seemed to glow (And yes, I was totally sober when I ran it  ).

I'll bug Chaos and see if he knows about it. If so, I'm posting screenshots to vindicate my sanity!

[Shadowkiss]

i think it was a villain tip mission, "a long line of spirits". i don't remember if it was the villain or rouge choose though.

Leandro posted the solution for that problem you have with Pocket D, I'm pretty sure.

It's one of his recent posts, go scour his post history.

THANKS!  IT WORKED!

The DYNGROUPS DYNARRAY command takes care of the visibility of layers. If you want the Ski Chalet to show up in a Pocket D demo, add it near the beginning of the demo, after the "Time" command:

The mission is the villain version of "A Long Line of Spirits", and it's set on the Vaults of Mu map. Here's the basic set-up, putting you at the mission start, with the "Seal of the Ether" door intact:

YESYESYES! That's it! Thanks so much Hotaru! And the playthrough was a nice bonus, especially since you like to look around alot. That map is just so cool. Thanks again!

[Hotaru]

Glad to be of service. I was running all the lowbie alignment missions I could in the last few days of November to help Chaos Ex Machina's effort, as well as document stuff for Paragon Wiki. My play thrus are pretty gingerly because I kept stopping to screenshot text... and bask in the awesomeness I almost missed.

[Hotaru]

Ok, here's one I haven't seen mentioned yet: the Longbow base with holding cells from the level 30-39 Vigilante Morality Mission "Today's Newspaper."

Since the rest of the map is your standard Longbow base, I've just focused on this room. I edited my demo down to just the room where you deliver harsh vigilante justice to Frostfire. I've put the doors on the cells, replaced the SEQ computers with the destructible models, and left in the fireworks that take out the cell doors about 10 seconds in. Frostfire has company: his Lawyer, Bad Penny, The Contemptress, Sardonic, and Pyrelord are there as well.

The demo: [Dropbox is giving me a hard time ATM, so I'll just post the whopping 6kb of code]

Hah! That's Awesome

[Sakura Tenshi]

So, you guys ready to really be mad?

Remember a while back one of the devs (WW I think) was talking about a new office tileset? One that looked more like an actual office rather than the architectural disaster that is the current set of "office" maps. On the savecoh channel on Nov 30, whichever dev it was lamented that they didn't think it was in the beta build yet so we'd never get to see it.

Well, they weren't wrong, there are no new office maps in the last beta build. However, I did some digging, and some of the pieces of them are there -- the chunks that the actual maps are built out of. As it turns out, not only is the geometry there, but so are the textures, and what's there is quite finished.

Since I've been working a little with Leandro on map editing (he has a very ambitious project that I won't spoil for you guys, but I think you'll like it), I decided to try my hand at putting some of these pieces back together again so we could get a peek at them. I've got a very simple map built to show off the tileset.

I'm sorry to ask a stupid question, but what is the actual map name? Is it possible to load it in Icon?

[Zombie Man]

I'm sorry to ask a stupid question, but what is the actual map name? Is it possible to load it in Icon?

Yes, in Icon 1.5 it is!

The info is present in the rest of the post....

To see it, you'll need to download this pigg file and put it in your Issue 24 Beta client's piggs directory. I don't think the components are present in earlier versions. Once it's in there, you can use this demo file and the F2 feature to take a peek around:

Finally got I24 reloaded and figured out how to use the maps, way fun, though sadly incomplete with everything empty. Still though, thank you very much for the opportunity to fly over the city again!

Quick question - is there a way to load a functioning "Holiday Rocket Pack" (Jingle-Jet?) while in the Ski Chalet map?

[Codewalker]

Sure.

1. Make a costume in the character creator.
2. Save the costume to a file.
3. Open the .costume file in a text editor (Notepad is fine). It will be in your COH install directory under a "costumes" subfolder.
4. Find the 12th CostumePart section. You can make it easier by picking one of the backpacks in the character creator and looking for something that looks like it, or just count sections.
5. Replace it with this:

Code: [Select]

CostumePart ""
{
Fx V_COV/Items/Holiday_Rocketpack/Temp_power_Holiday_Rocketpack.fx
Geometry none
Texture1 none
Texture2 none
DisplayName "Jingle Jet"
RegionName Capes
BodySetName "Back Packs"
Color1  255, 0, 0
Color2  0, 0, 255
}
6. Enter the Ski Chalet as normal, either by going to the Praetorian tutorial or using /loadmap.
7. Type /loadcostume WhateverYouNamedIt.costume
8. ???
9. Profit!
