Run around Atlas Park?

(off to use my search powers)

TinFoil · « **Reply #2 on:** January 15, 2013, 05:55:04 PM »

Nope. Don't see that anywhere. Oh well, maybe someday.

Yeahh... Today is apparently the day of short lived COH fabrications :/

While that's neat, it doesn't really seem the same as being able to run around Atlas Park again.

Actually there's a FB page called Atlas Park Revival. Someone is actively working on code to crack Atlas Park.

The Fifth Horseman · « **Reply #7 on:** January 23, 2013, 01:59:51 AM »

Going by the page, that project is not aiming at cracking the original client but rather recreating Atlas Park in Unreal Engine 3...

Yes, you're right. Thanks for the correction.

Cailyn Alaynn · « **Reply #9 on:** January 25, 2013, 08:28:15 AM »

I'm actually the crazy person behind Atlas Park Revival!
Fifth is correct, APR doesn't involve the CoX client. It's being rebuilt in unreal.
You'll be able to actually run around all of AP. Things like mobs are kind of a maybe atm however.

Didn't think to make a post about it here on the Titan board. Someone was kind enough to send me a link to this thread however.

Good luck with your project, Irish! Let us know how it's coming along!

It is most interesting to me that not one but many "inspired by" or "similar to" or "compatible server with" projects have all sprung right up concerning CoH, but yet NCSoft's hare-brained theory is STILL that no one cares, notices or downright hates them for shutting it down, and it won't matter if they never sell it.

Oy. Just....oy. Talk about having your head jammed into the sand. I think they've just about hit the earth's mantle down there. (And they still can't tell, even though there's quite a lot of what you could call seismic activity up here over their decision-making.

)

Cailyn Alaynn · « **Reply #11 on:** January 25, 2013, 03:08:19 PM »

I try and update fairly frequently on the Facebook page, Altho I'm not always the best at updating regularly lol.

I agree that it's interesting, however...I find it very unsurprising. Here you've got a community that's had members dedicated to the subject for the better part of a Decade... A fair portion of which are...well....major friggen' nerds. A melting pot of Talent, Love for the Subject, and in alot of people..a Really big desire to build really big "F*ck You, NCSoft" monuments... lol.

As for NCSoft...I don't even know what their deal is... I question their intelligence for sure. Or at least their observation skills.

I do believe our supervillain sides have all decided that the optimum solution will be hijacking orbital particle beam satellites and using them to carve these words ON THE MOON in size 150 (kilometers) font. And that unfortunately there are no such satellites to hijack yet.

Or to collectively carve them on the backside of all the executives at once

Does a giant moon FU count as an easter egg? Lol

Well, it's that time of the month again, folks. The time when we all ask, "Just what is a FUNC Soft?" It sounds funky, just like this next song...

As for cracking Atlas Park or any other map for that matter,

Just grab or make a demorecord of a map, and press F2 while running the demo to mouselook and move around on your own. The demo will continue to loop doing whatever it does, but your character will now be under your control.

This works in I23+ clients, so you should be able to do it if your client was from when the game closed.

Also, you can use Cameraman to speed up the movement, since it is a crawl normally in F2 mode.

There's other posts around this site if you search, for more details and nuances.

Victoria Victrix · « **Reply #20 on:** January 29, 2013, 05:40:07 AM »

In the demorecording section I believe that a lot of folks have posted their demorecords for anyone to grab.

Cailyn Alaynn · « **Reply #21 on:** January 29, 2013, 02:58:52 PM »

Floating around in a Demo is neat, but I think being able to actually walk around is what a lot of people are hoping for. It's definitely what I was wanting, which is what made me decide to start A.P.R.

redgiant · « **Reply #22 on:** January 30, 2013, 12:02:58 AM »

Ah, that would be nice to see.

Btw, are you actually translating the piggs environment map, skeletal animations/models info to drive your scene to look faithful? Or is it an artistic recreation meant to have the same layout of buildings and roads, statues and the central park area of AP?

dwturducken · « **Reply #23 on:** January 30, 2013, 01:34:23 PM »

Floating has its advantages. I've been using it to go through zones I hadn't seen, like Old Faultline. Having never been there, I didn't know how to get above the dam. Fortunately, in "floater" mode, you can float over war walls.

What the Freakshow? I uninstalled COH long ago, there any chance of my getting my own character(s) back?

The Fifth Horseman · « **Reply #25 on:** January 31, 2013, 02:00:25 AM »

All the character data was stored on the servers; there was a program, Sentinel+, released by the Titan Network that would capture the local copy of your character data out of your client while you were logged into that character, but with the servers dark, there's no way for you to get at the character configuration any more. If you didn't go through your characters and archive them with Sentinel+ before the sunset, getting your characters back as they were depends on someone successfully pressuring NCSoft into selling the IP to CoH and all of the user data, which would let them bring the servers back up with the characters as they existed as of whatever timestamp the archiving was done.

you know what kill's me is, i paid for alot of stuff in Coh, how can they just take that away. i know it's been 5 yrs. sense, i'm just say'n, still make's me MAD GRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!

Pargon Chat is nice, but it's not the game. I want to play the game. I want to fight villains and save the world (or fight heroes and try to take over the world), not just play dress-up and talk about the weather.

I want City of Heroes, not Super-Second Life.

rodharris · « **Reply #30 on:** September 21, 2017, 05:45:50 AM »

Castegyre · « **Reply #31 on:** September 21, 2017, 07:52:07 AM »

I still use icon to play with the character creator, but doing more than that just upsets me somehow depending on my mood at the moment. I do want the game back, but I'm not willing to torture myself forever.

Right now I'm just hoping one or more of the successors makes for a good home to the community. I think that is the best result I can hope for at this point.

EDIT: As for the stuff we pay for in these games, it's more rented or leased than bought. It kind of stinks, but I wish people would keep that in mind before they dump money in their hobby. It's the reason I force myself to stick to a limited gaming budget.
