Winter 2014 map for Titan Icon

[Leandro]

Want to make some new COH videos or greeting cards for the holidays, but don't want to use the Ski Chalet as your location again? Tim The Enchanter has put together a new map that you can use in Titan Icon. Here's a preview of what it looks like:

In order to use it in Icon, download the following file and extract it under your data/ folder (mirrors would be appreciated!)

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/37952257/winter2014.zip

If you did it correctly, the maps/ folder will be under data/. If you have a folder called winter2014 instead, you did it wrong; you need the folders maps, scenes and texture_library under data.

After extracting the file, open Titan Icon, hit the F1 key, and enter the map name maps/rp/winter/winter.txt to be teleported into it.

Happy Winter 2014!

Wow!  Thank you very much!  :)

[Kyriani]

This is awesome!

[Todogut]

Fantastic! Beautiful, enchanting, charming, and fun!

Please, tell more of the story of how this map was created.

This is pure awesomeness :D makes wish I could log in and play around this winter wonderland.

Cute!

Also, running Umber around in her snow bunny outfit on a winter map again made my entire week, thank you very much!

Please, tell more of the story of how this map was created.

We're going to have details about it soon. Maybe not before the end of the year, but shortly after. Hang in there, good news are coming.

[Artillerie]

Great map - thank you :)

[GamingGlen]

Awesome, and just in time as I was thinking of making another xmas card using Icon.

And having just watched Frozen for the first time and creating an "ice princess" costume for one of my characters, this map will be great.

Thanks, and best wishes to all for the holidays!

[Shifter]

Very nice. I still bring up Icon for my 5 year old to play around in. I can tell already he is going to have a blast with this. :)

Thank you, and expectantly waiting! :)

Thank you! I really love it.

I can see where it should be saved, but when I click on the link, it doesn't save there.  I must be missing a step somehow.

Could you elaborate, possibly?

Are you doing Right click -> Save as?

I just woke up, so go with me here..

;D

Thanks for any help with this! 

I clicked on Tim's holiday map link (above), which opened a new window labeled: Opening Winter2014

I chose "Save File" as the option.

Then I opened my desktop COH Icon shortcut, loaded the program, pasted in the map-string... and nothing happened.   

According to my Icon shortcut, it's path-string is:  "C:\Program Files\NCSoft\CohBeta\icon.exe"

However, when I open the NCSoft folder, I can see: C:\Program Files\NCSoft\CohBeta,  but not with the Icon.exe extension.  Nor do I see any kind of "data" folder.

How can I find out where the Icon "Holiday map" file went?  And where do I find the 'data folder" ?

Unless you've made one previously, there wouldn't be a Data folder, you'll have to make it yourself in the root install folder (in your case, C:\Program Files\NCSoft\CohBeta). And if you're not seeing the Icon.exe file, then you probably haven't downloaded it yet. Go check out this thread here.

Once you make sure that you have those, make sure you right-click/save as on the link for this map, and drop it into the Data folder to extract it there from the zip file.

I finally sorted it out, and oh my freakin' gosh, how gorgeous!  Enchanter Tim, thank you for such a fantastic Christmas gift, and when CoH 1.5 is up and running, please say this will be one of the seasonal maps!  *Claps hands in glee* 

Off to take some Nyghtshade "Christmas Card" screenies.   :D

[Nyghtshade]

Could someone give me last year's map-code-string for the "Winter in Atlas Park" settings?  Thanks.

ALSO:  I can't seem to find the new screenshots I'm taking in this map.  I have all the old screenshots, but the new ones aren't showing up.  Any suggestions?

[Felderburg]

I'm sure someone will be able to help you find the directory they're being saved to, but in the mean time, you can always just hit "print screen", and then open a program like Paint and paste the shot in there. Save it, and you're done!

Edit: The closest thing I could find to help was this thread: http://www.cohtitan.com/forum/index.php/topic,9607.msg142171.html#msg142171

One of the instructions about titan Icon has to do with where to install it, and the fact that it might cause issues if you install this in "Program Files"

I installed mine into c:/titanIcon, and it works fine for me (Win7 home premium 64-bit)

screen shots show up in c:/titanIcon/tequila/screenshots
