The Big Giant Icon Thread

[Zombie Man]

For all: I've verified and labelled here some of the maps which weren't included at http://home.roadrunner.com/~scuzzbopper/maps.html, however were in posts by The Fifth Horseman, Arachnion, and others. There is some duplicate information, however this is to help clarify other information (such as the versions of GC and DA):

Thanks for the updates. All that info is being compiled here to which anyone can contribute:

The two jumping/sliding puzzles are fun! Make me miss combat jumping a bit, but they definitely are fun. Makes me think they were going to be the next event, if not just a test of one variety or another.

That map has been in the client files for forever. I don't remember when the first time I saw it (via demo editing) was, but it was years and years ago. Wanting to go there was one of the things that directly led to wanting my own server to play around with someday, which itself led to beginning to dissect the .bin files, and eventually to things like Cameraman, Icon, etc.

(yes, I did finally manage to get there on the beta server once through ... nefarious means. it's even cooler when the little jump pads spawn)

Oh boombox emote... How I missed you and your random dance parties... :(

(Finally figured out why I couldn't find him in the tutorial map... Have to load into the tutorial first from the character creator, loading in after the fact doesn't seem to show him there... Different maps, or something?)

Really wish other games had such an awesome emote for random dance parties. I really miss random dance parties...

[Arachnion]

This has already been fixed in my development version and will be in 1.6, which should be along shortly. Still have one or two more things to add and I23 regression testing (it's a small enough incremental build that it's not too much of a burden).

YAY!

:)

Is there a way to turn a Sentinel file into a costume file?

You could write a code or script to do most of it, but there's some information that the XML file doesn't have (and neither does the demo file data, for that matter: BodySetName and RegionName).  The game engine will load a costume file without them and display the costume just fine, but the costume creator gives you the "Failed to Load XXX Costume Creator may not have access to parts" message, and will revert those parts to the defaults when you apply it to your model.   You could add those manually, but there are 10-20 for each costume depending on your costume choices.

There are many people that don't have i24 beta... It might be a good idea to post the link for that along with each update for icon.  Just a thought.

can anyone help me? it was working the other day.

Now yesterday and today it is not working.

I can open it but i cannot click on anything...

[Golden Ace]

I feel sheepish even asking because you've done so much already but is there a chance to get the emotes working again?

...

and I want to kill something...

when I say kill I mean arrest of course... :-[

It seems to be something specific to your computer as yours is the only report I've seen of such a problem. We need more details about exactly what's happening.

Do you see the mouse cursor or is it invisible?

Do the buttons react at all (change color, highlight) to mousing over them?

Does the sound and music play as normal?

Are you running windowed or fullscreen?

Video drivers up to date?

Do you have any third party overlay software (Steam, XFire, etc.)? If so, have you tried closing it?

Any special mouse / keyboard software running that you can shut down?

A good next step is to make sure EVERYTHING is closed (including all the stuff that lives down in the right corner), to rule out interference from third party software. Even antivirus programs can possibly interfere, so we need to check.

While not working they way they were before, you can do emotes... and a lot more of them. From the second post of this thread:

/mov [name]
Default keybind: None
Makes your character play an animation. The animation should be specified in the same format as MOV commands from demorecords. You can find a full list here.

I always wanted: /mov PL_THREECARDMONTY_LOOP

Good idea. But until it's done, here's the link for an I24/Beta d/l: http://www.savecoh.com/p/download-issue-24-beta.html

Are you using this? maps/City_Zones/City_02_03/City_02_03.txt

I log into that map with no problems. Are you using I23 or I24/Beta?

I used that map, and I'm in I24/Beta.  It brings up the Paragon Dance Party splash screen, then crashes.

Make sure you're using the Beta/Issue24 client.

Run Icon1.5 (see first post in this thread for Icon1.5) in NPC Edit Mode by...

While in the character creator, under the body tab (where you chose gender/huge and body sliders) click the radio button for the soldier you want at the bottom left of screen.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!

I don't know why PDP is crashing for you. Did you try a reboot of the computer to make sure no other programs were interfering?

Thanks to you, Codewalker, The Mockingjay can take to the skies as she never could before.

I'll give it another shot later with nothing on, as I've been able to visit other main maps while multiple apps are running in the background.
