Someone check the Architect Entertainment system for me? :)
« on: September 17, 2012, 02:48:41 AM »
I hope this isn't asking too much(I also hope this is even the right place to check!), I'd really appreciate it if someone could check the AE system for me....  :)

Last played in late 2009, but am really hoping a few missions I created are still lurking about...; they'd be under my global name I suppose(@Blitzwing), are fairly heavy on dialogue(pre, during, and post-mission), and feature either my Scrapper(CapeMike) and/or Tanker(MakoType-824)...pure comedy, it has some of what I'd like to think of some of my best comedic gold writing bits in years...plus, I'd love to see screenshots and/or recorded footage...and if anyone feels like yanking CapeMike out of there for demo footage, well...be my guest!  :D

If you find any of it in there...PLEASE let me know, and thanks in advance!

That's them!!  *gets a little misty-eyed*  :D

O.k., if you have the time, I'd like you to play the 1st 2(the 3rd was the original version of the 1st, but you can still look at it if you'd like) and get as many screengrabs as you can while trying to preserve some of the pre/during/post mission dialogue...a lot of that stuff has -enormous- sentimental value to me....

Thank you again!   8)

Hi Blitz, I won't be able to do it for a little while (class deadlines) but I'll try to get some screenshots for you by this weekend :) I have actually gotten a few shots from the second one, with some dialogue. I'll see if I can't get those up sooner.

Thanks!  CapeMike is my Scrapper, an Original Character('OC') I've been writing about since 1997, the Tanker is his 'daughter', through an accident entirely ripped off from an episode of Star Trek: TNG; her 1st appearance was actually in CoH, but backstory established she didn't 'start' there....  :)

Hi Blitz! I had a quick moment so I uploaded the screenshots taken on Monday. Sorry about the taskbar at the bottom of the screen, the only way I can take screenshots in CoH for some reason is to tab out of game and then hit PrtSc. I kept them the original size, save the final one, so it'll be easier for you to crop them as you see fit. I'll get other screenshots this weekend! It sounds like you had a lot of fun writing the missions and characters, and the one I did play was fun :)

I'll link these so as not to drive anyone who might have a slower connection crazy:

Blitz?

While you may not be able to access AE (as a freeplayer or what have you), you do know that if you have access to the computer you wrote those on that all of the text data is actually stored on your computer... not the servers.

Navigate to: {CoH Install Directory}/Missions, {CoH Install Directory}/Custom_Critter, and {CoH Install Directory}/CustomVillainGroup

In those directories are all the files from which the AE gathers it's text.  That won't get  you images of your custom characters, but it will get you a lot of what you wrote.

Hmm...it's entirely possible then...I believe the PC they were initially written on is still safely at my father's house, but hasn't been powered on(or even plugged in) for at least 2 years...it's an old PC(circa 2002), but I suppose it's still useful...might have to look into that., thanks!  :D

=edit=

Thank you SO much, Ultraviolets...dunno if I'll ever get to play again if the lights are indeed going out...so these pics are priceless....  :D

If by some chance you get to play the longer, 2-mission mini-arc, let me know!  Also, if you or anyone else can get the .demo models for any of the characters, especially CapeMike or MakoType-824, please do so...I'd love to get them included in any fan-movies that're being planned!   8)
