I haven't figured out how to load in the ski chalet....  OOps wrong post quoted!

If only you could have seen the face of my 5 yo daughter when I logged her in AP so she could fly again!!!
Even a pony for Christmas could not make her happier.

Hi there,
On the first screen, click "Going Rogue"
Then when you've made your character, go into the tutorial

[Blackmoor]

Codewalker, a huge Thank You! for doing this for us. I can't wait to see what the future has in store.

Are there any instructions for PC? I looked through the thread and couldn't find any.

Just put the icon.exe in your CoX folder. Beta or live. Hit play.

Instructions

    Save icon.exe into your City of Heroes program folder. On a default install, this may be in C:\Program Files\City of Heroes, or C:\Program Files (x86)\City of Heroes on 64-bit systems. It should have a cityofheroes.exe file in it as well.

    Use Explorer to browse to that folder, and double click icon.exe. You can create a shortcut to it if desired.


The above is in the OP ... these are the instructions for PC

Thanks so much for this...

[Justice Blues]

I just found out about this. loaded it up and it was wonderful. Just listening to the music at character creation was fantastic. Flying around AP33 was indescribable. I have so missed flying. Now if I could just get some 5th Column to pound on, it would be perfect. Thanks for all the work you did to make it happen.

This is just unbelievably awesome!

As time passes, nature reclaims our abandoned city.

Even the dance clubs are not free from nature.

Pocket D's sky sure looks ominous when stuck into a normal city.

And the Rogue Isles are much safer now that they've started erecting warwalls.

But here's something that seems busted in Atlas Park on it's own:

There's these patches of dirt that seem to be alligned to the wrong plane- presumably these are supposed to be on the ground above where I am here, not on the same level as the tunnel.  The parking lot in the area above this is suspiciously clean for the dirtier buildings that are around it, so I think someone made a mistake when putting this section together.

Anyway- this is super cool, so thanks for the update!  Hopefully there'll be more than just an empty city to run around in alone one of these days, though I doubt that sort of thing would be part of an offline mode hack.  ;)

Just loaded the new Icon and running around in the zones is awesome. Thank you for this addition. This is a bitter sweet update because I REALLY want to PLAY NOW!

[4thirty5]

Brilliant.  Absolutely brilliant.

Don't know what I am doing wrong, but I can create a character and only have access to the tutorial and Atlas 33. I was able to save all my toons (from 2 accounts) as .xml zips. but they are not in the NCSoft/CoH folders.
Codewalker, I was among those who cried openly when I was once again able to just enter my City and fly around...no words can describe what that was like, only feels. I would love to see my original characters again, but at least I can do this. A thousand heartfelt thanks to you, Codewalker, for giving me back some heart healing.

Making a hero grants those options. Make a villain and a Praetorian for the other options.

[TigerKnight]

God, I have so missed this.

Now we need our powers active and just some street crime. If we can't level up or leave, then that's fine. But to just be able to save someone is in some way therapeutic.

It doesn't save my creations..I have to make a new one each time
