Tech Issues / Re: Issue installing and running on Linux
« Last post by Carroto on April 29, 2024, 11:01:53 pm »Quote
it sounds like that launcher isn't removing 0kb files and it should be.
I wish I'd checked back again sooner because you're right. I finally came back and tried again and deleted empty files and it ran just fine. Well mostly. The one issue I'm having is a lack of light on many indoor maps. I'm running under wine on Linux but I'm able to do this with other CoH servers in the same wine prefix without this problem, so it doesn't seem to be a problem with wine generally.
If anyone has any ideas for things I could try I'd appreciate it. I'm 99.9% of the way there but not being able to see on indoor maps is likely going to be a showstopper for me here. I tried sort of randomly playing with graphics settings in the hope that maybe the problem was specific to one setting at one value but nothing I tried made a difference there.

General Suggestions and Feedback / Move Mercy legacy contacts' mission doors closer to the contacts.
« Last post by Carroto on April 28, 2024, 09:23:05 pm »The two legacy Mercy contacts, Kalinda and Burke, were moved from their old location in the north of the zone when the zone was revamped back on retail. As I re call the contacts were no longer accessible, but I think they were re-enabled with I24? Anyway their missions still send players to the north of the zone, near their old locations.
Clearly the missions were intended to be close to the contacts, which they were previously. Since the contacts have been moved the mission doors should be as well so new players without travel powers do not have to travel all the way across the zone repeatedly since they don't have the contacts' phone numbers right away.
Not the end of the world since I can rocket pack to the missions and use Longbow in that area to give me a quick "Hospital TP" to return to the contacts, but still not ideal.
If there's any room for someone new to get their hands dirty I'd be happy to edit the necessary files so no one has to do any additional work. I'll do it myself if that'd help.
Also how about adding those legacy contacts to the contact finder?

Off-topic / be cautious of Discord's new ToS
« Last post by Joshex on April 15, 2024, 10:01:40 pm »They are a US company, they host their data in the US. Yet users in the US are being told discord is now following european commission regulations on behalf of all users regardless of your locale. Not only that they say they have a right to sublicense and modify anything you upload even if you don't own rights to do so yourself.
for example, if someones uploads a game you made without your permission when you licensed your game to forbid modifications, discord is saying they have a right to modify it. This is inherently illegal because they are gaining their permissions from a third party that does not have the legal or documented authority to grant them the permissions they are demanding, and with their intent to bypass the rights of the legitimate owner. Further more if you or someone on behalf of your company does agree to the ToS whom has the authority regarding something your company has made and uploaded, then discord gains all rights to use distribute and modify and redistribute whatever it is as if they own it, even for profit.
I do not agree.
I will not be using discord any more.
they've proclaimed themselves under the law of the EU even though they are a US company. - this has got to be illegal where there are conflicts of law between the US and EU.
and they say they have rights to sublicense and modify your uploads, even games you don't own the rights to yourself. this is a big legal no.
also you cannot opt out of the arbitration clause any more.
It's all a contract under duress, a forced contract.
It's actually violating multple consumer and product protection laws in the usa, no wonder they'd rather say they are following eu law. eww. insert meme "this is illegal you know"
do not agree. if you agree as a developer, close that account, it's not worth it as a developer "but I'm not releasing anything via discord" that doesn't matter any more, if you agree to this ToS they have a right to use distribute and modify your content that's uploaded by others!. oh and they claim the right to profit from your stuff by using it in advertisements and sharing it with partners. they name google as a partner.
discord has breached law of it's governing country and it's really, really bad for you if you are a content creator or developer.
They will arbitrate for their company's benefit in case of a legal problem where they have wrongfully modified and used something for profit that they got from your uploads and someone sues them,
They WILL blame YOU! and likely continue using it.
For me this new ToS visibly violates multiple product and consumer protection laws. It's illegal. it's not something I want to get wrapped up in. again when they get caught because of their illegal ToS they will blame the user, as you've agreed to let them arbitrate you have no way to defend yourself from this gross abuse of a use agreement and companies that come suing because of it. Get out while you can.
lets say in example you upload or link CoH sourcecode docs to discord, and Discord uses them for profit by selling them to google for $1.5 million, and NCSoft finds out. NCSoft will sue discord and Discord will arbitrate for you and say you the user should have known they would sell it, and so discord waives all liability. now NCSoft comes to you demanding $1.5 million you did not make and may not have.
Unless of course NCSoft themselves have an official discord account which has agreed to this new ToS. then they lose all right to sue and would legally lose ownership of the game according to EU law (and whoever discord sells it to would be the new owner. the ToS is a nightmare for developers.
Now lets say you as a developer make a game. through hard work blood sweat, tears and headaches. and you do not upload it to discord, but you agree to the terms of this ToS so you can use discord, and then some other user uploads your game, possibly in source because some games are in source. Discord sells it to google, and you try to sell your game and find out it and many other copy cats are on the google play store without your permission and google is profiting from it. you can do nothing because thats what you agreed to in this ToS. Now google is suing YOU for selling a game you made, that they bought from discord because it was uploaded by another user!
It's not safe for developers, your only safe bet is to not accept their ToS (meaning you cannot use discord), if you already accepted it, you'll need to close that account to nullify it. or disconnect your discord use from your development projects (meaning you can't share nor admit affiliation with the dev of such a project). For me that's already too late so I am hitting the red X reject button in the browser tab. good, I don't like keeping a modern browser open all day anyways, good riddance I'll go back to my flash enabled browser. again they do all sorts of tracking now too, it's in their ToS, they'll track you by device, so if they can link you to a dev project that way, then they'll assume you've accepted their right to steal your work.
so that's my reasons for not using discord now. this is a protection for if someone other than me uploads my game in the future, then having not agreed to this I can sue discord if they try to use, modify, profit from or sell it without my permission.
maybe this is a bit over the top for some people, but I do not want to have to spend time arguing against this ToS in court later.
now if you are not a developer and do not plan to even have your own company or your own products, then you can just be careful to not share things you don't own. and yes that can mean not sharing videos or images others own by legal registration. for example you cannot use any images containing trademarked characters or otherwise intellectually protected, otherwise if Discord does an advert and uses that image in the background "All rights reserved" the owning company will be told by discord to sue you.
for me, even as a user, that severely limits me from sharing content and engaging in a social way. so at that point it makes no sense to continue to use discord.
oh by the way, their ToS covers anything in "private" messages too. which means they are not private and anything uploaded there is now able to be used, distributed and modified by discord and their partners for profit.
it's a shame that we can't have anything nice, that a bad ToS will always kill it.
for example, if someones uploads a game you made without your permission when you licensed your game to forbid modifications, discord is saying they have a right to modify it. This is inherently illegal because they are gaining their permissions from a third party that does not have the legal or documented authority to grant them the permissions they are demanding, and with their intent to bypass the rights of the legitimate owner.

Backstory:
Phoenyx Lionheart lived a life of adventure and excitement as a fiery brawler who often gets her into trouble with crime families and bounty hunters. Fate gave her the chance to be with a loving man who she saved from Nyarlathotep's agents in the planet of Ishtar, who was known as Sandalphon, an archmage with a pure heart. After Phoenyx found out that she was pregnant with Sandalphon's child, she was torn between aborting her unborn daughter or abandon her lifestyle filled with thrills and adventure. Because of her abundant love for Sandalphon, Phoenyx chose the latter option.
Phoenyx would later give birth to her daughter Brianna, and later raised and trained her daughter to become a hero who would later be Lovebird. Seeing as though Phoenyx knew about the crime families and bounty hunter factions that terrorized parts of the Andromeda Galaxy more than any other hero, the Star Warrior known as Marston came to visit her and face her in a duel. Although Phoenyx managed to hold her own with Marston for a long time, she was ultimately defeated by him, but her resolve was acknowledged and her spot in the Splendid Seven was earned.
As Firebird, she is a master in hand to hand combat while having the ability manipulate and generate fire to create flaming melee weapons as well as empowering her fists with her flames to generate explosive punches to immolate and decimate her foes, making her a very versatile combatant.

Character Bios / Shadelord Ren Sakayama
« Last post by NecropolisNathaniel on April 09, 2024, 04:40:50 pm »Name: Ren Sakayama
Origin: Magic
Archetype: Blaster
Alignment: Hero
Title: The Shadelord of House Sakayama
Battlecry / Catchphrase: The storm comes...
Primary Powerset: Storm Blast*
Secondary Powerset: Ice Manipulation
Tertiary Powerset: Flight
Epic Powerset: Dark Mastery*
Secret Identity: Ren Sakayama
Affiliations: The Voidsworn, House Sakayama, Andromeda Galaxy
Day Jobs: Dimensional Explorer, Pilot
Other Nicknames: Shadelord Sakayama, Doom & Gloom, Weather Man, Storm-Lite
(* = Powerset is on Homecoming)
Backstory:
The youngest of the Sakayama family and the most powerful due to his mastery in weather manipulation mixed with his immense resistance to psychic energy. As a child, Ren had a destiny to fulfill when he discovered he could manipulate weather. Weather manipulation, according to the houses of Voidsworn, was a difficult power to master due to its overwhelming power. Not in this case according to Ren Sakayama as he learned to master it within three months.
Once his vacationing spot in Lorelei was attacked by a Galaxia battalion that were in the process of burning down a large metropolitan city, he created a deadly hurricane that leveled the entire city along with the soldiers that were responsible for invading it. Although this raised a sense of distrust among the Warriors of Aria that were determined to defend Andromeda as much as the Voidsworn and many other factions, Ren Sakayama was to be promoted as the Shadelord of House Sakayama.
Ren Sakayama is one who manipulates weather at an almost godlike level, but usually, it requires an atmosphere to manipulate such a natural force. If he has no atmosphere to use his weather manipulating abilities, he relies on cryokinesis and aerokinesis to freeze and blow away his foes. Rumor has it that since Andromeda came to Milky Way, he built a superpower that used weather manipulation to level anything it targeted in a mountain area somewhere in Japan. This has yet to be confirmed.

« Last post by Kismet on April 04, 2024, 05:01:26 pm »NOTE: I could not get the current version Mids to export the build as anything other than plain text and not show all the code when in preview. I tried BBcode, HTML, Markdown, and none of them seemed to work properly.
If anyone has any suggestions/advice for making the data export properly, please let me know. In my Incarnate Trial tanking guide, https://forum.cityofheroesrebirth.com/index.php/topic,2359.0.html , I'd no problem exporting builds in format. I don't know if something changed in Mids or if my head broke between now and then.
