Thanks for all the work!

I have a QoL suggestion, if you don't mind: Putting the actual emote command in parentheses after the menu text would be helpful for people making binds or just wanting to skip the menu when doing some more frequent emotes.

I know a lot of these commands are identical to the menu text aside from spacing, so you could probably skip those. But a lot are not the same as the menu text. For example, Music/Bounce is actually dance5; emoting bounce does nothing. So I'd suggest having the menu read something like "Bounce (dance5)". You already have at least one of these "Epic Fail(DoubleFacePalm)"

There are also several alternate emotes for some of them (Robodance springs to mind), but I think whichever emote is shortest would probably be sufficient.

(I know I could go through and add all these myself, but I figure others might find it useful too.)

Last week or whenever, I went through and fixed the standard quickchat menu. That was a task, let me tell you. Even if you all you did was compile some disparate lists, that's a good bit of work. Thanks for doing this, it's very appreciated.

I'm actually already working on creating those as aliases. After seeing how big the popup window was getting, I chose not to do list the emote name in parentheses . I'm aware that some of these emotes that are in the menu do not match the actual emote command. I intend to have those as aliases released sometime in the near future. So all you'll need to replace is the emote.cfg when the time comes, I'll let you know

The Custom emotes added here are very addicting

..and thank you for allowing us to access all of the regular emotes as well

I do have a question though: Can this be used on the game when it comes back?
Again, thank you for your hard work

Can this be used on the game when it comes back?

I do believe so, since the documentation I used to create it is dated from way back when...
See Paragon Wiki:Quickchat
Or...
see this thread... which references the date "Feb 12th, 2009 @ 03:15 AM." I can only assume that since this is when the game was live it should work, just not a lot of people either used or knew of this feature...

Hope this helps. I'll have a new update to the files tomorrow sometime as well.

Hatut Zeraze · « **Reply #9 on:** August 04, 2015, 05:40:04 PM »

So, how does one go about performing Step 3?

I don't really know what buttons to push or icons to drag or whatever to download those files into the Config folder. As far as I can tell, I'm already in the Config folder by following step 1 and the changes I made in step 2 I assume are in the Config folder.

Obviously I am pretty computer illiterate, but I'd like to at least try to follow these instructions before begging one of my tech-buddies for help.

Valtyr · « **Reply #10 on:** August 04, 2015, 06:11:22 PM »

To download the files, just click on them. This will open a new tab/window that should look something like this:

Click on the Download button. (If Dropbox asks you to login, you can ignore that. Just click on the webpage and that prompt will go away. Then you can click Download.)

You will get a prompt asking if you want to open the file or save it. Click save.

Do this for both files.

Once that's done, since you've already accomplished steps 1 and 2, you know how to find the Paragon Chat/config folder.

Put both of those files into that folder.

Proceed to step 4.

Do these work in Icon alone or only in Paragon Chat?

Valtyr · « **Reply #13 on:** August 08, 2015, 12:09:00 PM »

Only in Paragon Chat. Titan Icon uses a different format to display emotes/powers/npc/relocate.

donobeastson · « **Reply #14 on:** August 15, 2015, 01:32:32 AM »

I've made it as far as step 4 and got a little lost. I assumed I was meant to go to the CoH file under NCSoft (never deleted the old stuff). There was no "data" folder so I tried to download the compressed file in the link, but my computer keeps telling me it's an invalid folder.

Valtyr · « **Reply #15 on:** August 15, 2015, 02:49:32 AM »

What you need to do is this:

Step 4. Open Windows Explorer and navigate to where cityofheroes.exe is.

For me, the one Titan Icon and Paragon Chat uses is D:\CohBeta

The easiest way to find where to put these files is to right click your Paragon Chat launcher and take note of where the Target line is.

Continuing with step 4:

The case is very important and this will not work if you do it wrong. (Don't worry, it's not unfixable!)
Right click and create a folder named data

Open that folder
Right click and create a folder named texts

Open that folder
Right click and create a folder named English

Open that folder
Right click and create a folder named Menus

Place the quickchat.mnu file there.

Any chance of recreating the "level up" as an emote? Seems like most of it would be possible.

Technical Mercy · « **Reply #28 on:** October 06, 2015, 01:45:41 PM »

As it turns out, it is possible to unlock the emotes for the mac.

First enable hidden files if you have not already done so, because not all of us are good with computers.

Spoiler for Hidden:

Here is the file path to the equivalent to %APPDATA% for a mac. TechnicalMercy is a placeholder for the user name:

/Users/TechnicalMercy/.wine/drive_c/users/TechnicalMercy/Application\ Data/Paragon\ Chat/Config

1. In Finder, open the folder at /Users/TechnicalMercy/.wine/drive_c/users/TechnicalMercy/Application\ Data/Paragon\ Chat/Config
(The rest of the instructions are the same.)
2. Rename the current emote.cfg to emote.cfg.bak, as well as the zone.cfg file to zone.cfg.bak. This will keep your original configuration as backup files if needed later.
3. Next Download this preconfigured emote.cfg file and zone.cfg file into the “config” folder
4. Now, open the folder you’ve installed CoH to and navigate to \data\texts\English\menus
4b. If the “data” folder is not present in your CoH directory then you'll need to create it as well as the corresponding folders “texts” then
“English” and finally "menus" (or download this zipfile and unpack it into you’re coh folder, if you pick this step then you can skip step 5)
5. Download the new quickchat.mnu file and place it inside the folder named “menus”
6. That’s it… you’re done. Now open the game and have fun!

Thanks to lexicon for the original instructions.

TahquitzII · « **Reply #30 on:** January 07, 2016, 06:35:28 AM »

Additional info:

The commands in Costume Changes and Custom Emotes will show up as thought bubbles instead of animation when they're selected using the steps given. This can be changed, but you need to edit the emote file you just copied into Paragon Chat's app data.

IF YOU ARE NOT COMFY EDITING A CONFIGURATION FILE, YOU CAN IGNORE THIS. The file from the OP instructions maps all the basic emotes with the Super Pack emotes included (Wedding, Super science, Animal, etc.).

1. Press Win+R and type in "%APPDATA%\Paragon Chat\Config".

2. Right click emote.cfg, and open the file in Notepad. Past the commented out intro box (each line starts with a #), you'll see there are a number of emotes with comment marks in front of them (#). If you remove those marks on every line that starts with "Emote", "Bits", or "End", you should be able to use those emotes.

In the menu bar, Edit, Replace is your friend. Try changing "# Emote" to " Emote" (replace # with a single space, or nothing.) Rinse and repeat with the other two statements.

Heads up: Resist the temptation to just replace "#" with " ", as other comments in the file separating other user's custom emotes are present. Uncommenting those lines will break the file and Paragon Chat will not run. (A error dialog will mention that emote.cfg is broken and you need to edit or replace the file with the original.) If this happens, either replace the .cfg file with your original one (After all, you did remember to rename and keep the original files, right?) or edit the file and either put a # in front of a comment that is not a part of the Emote commands (each comment will occupy a single line, where emotes will take up three), or delete the comment lines where you see them.

3. Once finished, save the file. If you're using Paragon Chat, you need to close out of City of Heroes AND Paragon Chat, since emote.cfg parses when Paragon Chat is opened for the first time. If you close COH and log back in without closing Paragon Chat, you'll have the same issue since you're still working off of the old .cfg file still in memory.

Log back in and enjoy the full menu.

It's been past a month since you wrote this, but if you can't get I24 files, head here: http://www.savecoh.com/p/download-issue-24-beta.html Otherwise, not sure what you're asking. Did you try this fix and it didn't work for you? Are you running I24 from cityofheroes.exe and not getting in?

crashpositron · « **Reply #32 on:** February 20, 2016, 05:04:30 AM »

I have followed the steps to get the new Quickchat set up, but none of the new Zones, Custom or Costume Change entries seems to work. I looked in the folders and made sure the files have the right names and peeked inside and see the new Emotes listed, but they just don't work.

I copied the zone.cfg and emotes.cfg to \USERS\{myname}\APPDATA\Roaming\ParagonChat\Config folder and
quickchat.mnu to \Program Files (x86)\CohBeta\data\text\English\menus

I edited the emote.cfg and search/replaced '# Emote' to ' Emote', '# Bits' to ' Bits' and '# End' to ' End' in front of the new emotes, but it seems to do nothing extra.

It comes up in my COH from the emote bubble or by /quickchat and looks normal. I have seen other people doing CCNuke and /e malfunction, but it won't work in my copy. What do I have set up wrong?

FOLLOWUP: ODD, but it seems to matter which drive your COH files are on. My COH was installed on my H: drive and ParagonChat was pointing to it in the Desktop link, both Start In and for Target, but I noticed the -pcdir said: ' -pcdir c:\cohchat'. I copied the modified zone.cfg and emote.cfg file to C:\cohchat\config and now they work. I didn't expect to find two sets of Config files, but there they were.

Codewalker · « **Reply #37 on:** March 30, 2016, 06:42:52 PM »

Just a heads up, Paragon Chat 1.0 is in final testing, and if all goes well is scheduled to go live tomorrow. This release affects mods like this one that use client data overrides.

In 1.0 and later, data overrides need to go into %APPDATA%\ParagonChat\Client\Data, not into the COH install itself (they will be ignored if you put them there). Mods like this one won't work until they are updated for the new location.

On the bright side, since data overrides now go into the same tree as the cfg files, making a package that includes both should be a little easier.

Interestingly enough, this Phoebus link can lead you to three different places, depending on where you port from!
Two of us today were experimenting and you could end up 1) On the front porch of the temple 2) In a cave with corridors or 3) On a boat inside a cave, with a force barrier blocking the cave mouth. If you port there from Atlas, we would end up in 1 or 2. From Pocket D or from Praetoria, I would end up in 3. Some sites would consistently give the same destination but Atlas and Pocket D varied.

Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. It's probably not actually anything wrong with the executable, I had the same thing happen with Paragon Chat itself a while back and I never figured out what caused it there either - just fixed itself after a while. Probably a bug in my computer somewhere but not severe enough for me to bother fixing cause if I do it'll generate a new one or two and they might be worse.

I noticed this about the FrostFire link, as well.

The unfortunate thing is I can't find any way into the half-pipe room! :-) What are our chances of either getting some control over landing spot, or else getting the doors to unlock/open inside missions? Is there anything I can do to help work this out? P.S. what are the chances of getting a link to the Cavern of Transcendence/Cavern Trial map?

I had an interesting time helping someone that could run PChat, but not the QChat add-on. I got into his hard disk and searched EVERYWHERE for his City of Heroes files so I could re-install PChat and make sure the pointers were pointing to the right files. Turns out they were in Documents in a folder named 'New Folder'! So, I ran the PChat installer with the '-nux' option (causes the installer to ignore any previous installs and install as new) and of course, it didn't find the files. I renamed 'New Folder' to 'COH' and ran it again and it didn't find the COH files, so I used the Browse option to point it to the \Documents\COH folder. It identified the files as I24 and installed without error. Then I downloaded and installed the QChat mod and it ran perfectly.

So, if Qchat is not installing, locate the COH files, rerun PChat install with -nux and point it to the COH files you found, and then install QChat.

NOTES: Exit PChat and COH. Turn OFF your antivirus while installing (and you may have to tell it later to not test PChat so it won't block it).

edit: now paragon chat loads but the map doesn't show up in the menu anywhere.

Change it to

Zone 6700
# "Praetorian Tech 60"
MapFile "maps/Missions/P_Tech/P_Tech_60/P_Tech_60_Layout_01_01.txt"
RoomName "Praetorian Tech 60"
Category "Praetorian Tech"
End

also add this line near the beginning of the file with the other categories, if you haven't already:

Category "Praetorian Tech"

Make a copy of zone.cfg and call it zone.cfg.backup or whatever you like. You can find zone.cfg by clicking the folder icon on the ParagonChat login screen and navigating to the folder called Config.
Open up zone.cfg in a text editor, and add the following lines at the end:

Code: [Select]

Zone 5898
  # "Sewer Trial"
  Mapfile "maps/MISSIONS/UNIQUE/TRIALROOMS/SEWERS/TRIAL_01_01_ROOM.txt"
  Category "Other"
  RoomName "Sewer Trial"
End

Restart Paragon Chat, and you should be able to get onto the trial map with /mapmenu or /mapmove 5898. The badge is at the bottom of the shaft in the ooze.

The zone number (5898 here) needs to be unique, so look the file over and change it if necessary.

If you've defined a better Category at the beginning of zone.cfg, for example "Sewer" or "Trial" you can substitute that where I've put "Other"
If you don't put a Category, or you put an undefined one, I believe it won't work with /mapmenu.

A huge thanks for all the work put into this lifesaver. <3

Excellent work Mr Pengy!

There are several safeguard maps with exploration badges (9 + accolade for all of them). The trick is to find the map names that correspond to these safeguard missions. I haven't found those yet. Has anyone else?

How would I find the map for the Haunted Mansion, or the Midnighter's mansion in Nightward?

Valtyr · « **Reply #65 on:** September 02, 2017, 04:02:08 PM »

Haunted Mansion: /mapmenu > Other > 8996 Haunted House

And you can just walk into the Midnigher Mansion in Night Ward.

Odd, I don't see that as an option in my Paragon Chat, although I have lots of other "Other" mission maps.

Valtyr · « **Reply #67 on:** September 17, 2017, 06:54:20 AM »

Odd. Even one of my older installations has it. You could edit your zone.cfg file to include it:

Code: [Select]

Zone 8996
  # "Haunted House"
  MapFile "maps/Missions/Unique/Halloween2011/Halloween2011.txt"
  RoomID HauntedHouse
  RoomName "Haunted House"
End

Trying to get praetorian peace stand and others to work that are not included in this. I see in the playerseqs that it should be something like:
Emote PRAETORPEACE
Bits ENCOUNTER POSE STAND BOWING
End

Added it to the bottom of my emote.cfg file and I've had issues using this method on some emotes while others work flawlessly after doing this.
