Title: Winter has come to Atlas Park

Download this file and un-7zip it to your data folder (should have coh/data/geobin and coh/data/scenes) in order to cover Atlas Park with snow and pine trees that light up at night. All the water surfaces are frozen, so you'll be able to use Prometheus Lake as a ice skating ring. This lovely map conversion was done by Angelus Animi.

Enjoy the Winter Event!

Oh this is going to be perfect for the end of my video...

I think I still have time to reshoot the last scenes to use these instead!

Please, for all that is Holy, could someone walk me through this.  I finally was able to unzip the file and now I have two folders, one titled geobin the other titled scenes.  How and where do I now place them in my CoH folder?  I found the data folder and contained within that folder are four folders: bin, geobin, object_library, texts.  What do I do now?

Many thanks and all the best.

1. Copy the CITY_01_01 folder from inside your unzipped geobin folder and place it (CITY_01_01) in the geobin folder in your data folder.

2. Move the scenes folder you unzipped into your data folder.

Just drag the files from the WinZip interface into their respective areas.

Then use Titan Icon (http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Titan_Icon) to play in it if you don't know of Icon already.

Simply download this (http://repo.cohtitan.com/icon/icon.exe) and place it in your CoH folder.

Then run it and follow that wiki page.

Thanks so much.  Works like a charm.  It brings back memories but then again so does every time I open Icon.  My kids are gonna lose their minds when they see this as will my wife.

My four-year-old keeps asking me if I "know when the meanies will be coming back so he can fight them?"  I keep telling him, someday.

Thank you very much!  I will download and install.  I guess we did get something of a new Winter Event present...from one of the new Devs.  All hail SCoRE!   :)

Beautiful. Thank you, and Angelus especially, for such a beautiful place to visit this holiday season.

Just being able to enjoy it as it is makes me rather emotional, but in a good way. :)

Until we can all share good times in Paragon City (and all the other places we could visit there) we still have this. Happy holidays!

Lyc~

Does anyone know where the geobin and scenes folders are within the Mac version?

I'm checking the folders but no seeing them, and they don't show up in searches.
Title: Re: Winter has come to Atlas Park
Post by: Aggelakis on December 19, 2013, 05:41:52 PM
If you don't have them, make them. They'll be in the data/ folder just like any other overrides.

A couple of questions: 
1)  How does one get the white lights on the trees?  When I load the files into my CoH data folder, and then open Icon and head into AP, I get snow and lots of pine-trees, but no lights.

2)  If I paste code-string for another map-zone into the chat window (Kings Row, Steel Canyon, or Talos, for instance)  will these also appear with snow and pine trees everywhere, or does this only work for Atlas Park?

EDIT:  One more question - I see in a lot of videos with the snow map for AP that it's actually snowing as well.  Could someone share how to make that possible as well?

Thanks, everyone.

1) The tree lights come on when it gets dark, so you'll need to set the time to dusk or later for them to appear.  ("/time 0" is fun.)

2) Pretty sure it only works for Atlas Park, but I couldn't swear to it.   ;)

And I don't know about creating a snowing effect in videos, but I got some stills by using the "Throw Snowflakes" animation and timing.

Hmm... think I'm going to have to break down and download Icon. Even though I can't fight bad guys I can still remake some of my old characters and actually get screen shots of them... :( Maybe even improve some of their costumes incase CoH ever makes an epic come back. :P

Thanks for the info, Korbian.  I hadn't realized emote animations even still worked.  I'll have to give that a try.  :-)

And Happy New Year to you, and everyone here at Titan Network!

Check out the Icon wiki if you haven't:

http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Titan_Icon

There's a myriad of tricks and tips to accomplish fun stuff with it.  The popmenus available are awesome, and make it easy to do stuff even if you're a perma-newb like me.  (Which I'm not saying you are.  Lol.  There's a reason I'm mainly a lurker around here.   :P)  Somewhere I "heard" Codewalker "say" he's working on a way to be able to use emotes, etc. without them for the next update or so.  Bless the Titan team, we'd be lost without them.

And you're welcome, my dear! I was having the exact same issue with the lights when I first tried it, so I felt compelled to share. Happy Decemberween!  :)

If you're demoediting, the Instant Snowstorm power appears to be
FX Maintained 42996 WORLD/WINTEREVENT/N_SNOWFALL.FX 0
Title: Re: Winter has come to Atlas Park
Post by: Codewalker on December 31, 2013, 08:50:25 PM
That snowfall FX can also be hacked into an otherwise unused line of a costume file to get it in Icon -- just use the same syntax that shows up for capes, auras, or custom weapons but substitute WORLD/WINTEREVENT/N_SNOWFALL.FX instead.

Since this is about the winter event, has anyone found the Christmas zone for skiing?  I found:  maps/Missions/Unique/jumppuzzles/Jumppuzzles_Layout_01.txt  which appears to be the model of it but I can not find the actual zone.  I hope someone can help me.  I guess ill go to Frostfire's Lair for now: maps/MISSIONS/UNIQUE/DOORMISSIONS/OUTCASTS_LAIR.txt

Thanks all

You mean Pocket D's Chalet & ski slopes? It's a permanent part of Pocket D. Load the D map, then hit F12 until you show up in one of the spawn points within the Chalet.

You can also hit f5 to fly through walls to get to it from the main dance floor (or start a Praetorian and pick the tutorial).

Maybe I was in the wrong pocket D.  dj zero was not in the room.  I will try the tutorial too.
