The Big Giant Icon Thread

Anyone else notice these three hanging out at the metro in Brickstown?  Alec Parson, Aurora Pena, Pendragon:https://i.imgur.com/VW7l0jr.jpg

You should check out by Manticore and Swan... Marauder, Riptide, and some PPD hardsuits are standing there by the picnic tables. :)

I was checking out the three NPCs in Bricks, mentioned above, and left the computer for a couple of minutes to tend to something. When I got back, I saw CoH on the screen, and absent-mindedly leaned in to check the chat window, to see if someone had said something I needed to reply to. Almost seven months later, and Icon brings it that close to the surface again.

I had to modify my saved option/chat/wdw files to remove my chat window on load. I kept looking at my global channel wondering why no one was talking. >.<

They changed up the little park, too.   Added some benches, art and a plaque I'm aching to click.  :(

now, i know that emotes are tricksy, and we cant really do MOVs at the specific target without having the target do it instead... but is there any potential to make "Macros" that que the series of Movs needed to "cast" specific powers?

does that make sense?

would that be within the scope of things Icon can potentially do? or is that also too much power/server/side-code related? cuz dont we have the animations and sounds and Movs? I dont really know the slightest bit about programming and even after the many years playing, i only learned how to make a basic macro to switch costumes after someone spelled it out for me.

;D just curious

Good luck with those map glitches. This is probably some completely different issue, but when I exited the game and reloaded, most of the problems I was having loading maps was fixed. I'm not sure how that would work, but my running theory is that I accidentally reset all the nemesis plots.

It might be that my poor, old mac just dosen't have the ummph it used to. I've been running Icon at a higher image quality than I used to run the game since Icon doesn't have to load all the server info. It could be that the maps I'm trying need too much ram or I'm screwing up the names.

I'm still having fun though...

Probably would work, yes. You'd have to learn what MOVs do what though.

Although I haven't tried with MOVs specifically, macros do work in Icon.

I made a macro to open up the Architect slash command. It worked.

I'm afraid I don't have much time at the moment though to investigate this, I suggest you read up on how to make macros:

http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Macro_%28Slash_Command%29
http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/The_Players%27_Guide_to_the_Cities/Slash_Commands,_Macros,_Keybindings,_and_Emotes#Macros

For a quick macro creation reference:

Code Select Expand

/macro AE architect

Giving yourself access level 9 from the info here http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Titan_Icon#Developer_Commands, the above macro should work.

This is awesome .. thank you so much .. even went to visit an old friend:

Is there a way to load costumes from the sentinel files I saved ?
That would be awesome if someone could tell me.

Not yet.

It's being worked on, see this thread:
http://www.cohtitan.com/forum/index.php/topic,8600.0.html

Xenos has recently worked out a way to make a .costume file from sentinel files:
http://www.cohtitan.com/forum/index.php/topic,8600.msg122056.html#msg122056

He hasn't publically posted his method yet, soon though, I'm sure.

Keep in mind it won't be a program, nor do we have one at the moment for this.

:)

Codewalker for President! :D  8)

Thanks to his amazing creation I was able to reassemble not only most of my own SuperGroup characters in one place, but also throw in a couple of friends' heroes from the SG too.

And where else would I have them all meet up but at the Supergroup Registrar in Atlas? Because they want their SuperGroup back!!  ;D

I propose that someone alter the Atlas statue to look like Codewalker, holding up and supporting our world. He deserves it!

We thought about this, but you have no idea just how ugly he is.  He's so ugly that he even scares the blind kids.  He's so ugly that he makes onions cry.  He's so ugly that when he goes to see the psychiatrist, she makes him lie on the couch face down.  He's so ugly that when he looks in the mirror, his reflection turns to stone.  He's so ugly that his neighbors pitched in for him to get tinted windows.  He's so ugly that his birth certificate has a letter of apology stapled on the back.  He's so ugly that even his Rice Krispies won't talk to him.

(I kid, I've never seen him in person, the guy could be friggin' Adonis as far as I know, but I like to imagine that he's really ugly to compensate for his brilliance and to boost my self esteem...)

I made the cat go tearing out of the room in fright with my sudden cackling at this one. I have no idea why it's so funny, but I can just imagine the little cartoon dudes making creeped-out faces and shaking their heads, while pushing each other around. LOL

For some reason, my mind kept drifting toward Blue Steel while reading this. Maybe we should set up an arena match for them.  8)

I like this idea ... perhaps not him but perhaps his avatar should do the trick as well :)
i've been following this thread since the release of icon 1.7 ... it's been very interesting and
the ideas going around are really good ...
as for myself ... i've been really happy to be able to bring back all my avatars and add those items
that i could not during my retail play ...


thanks again CodeWalker :)
i look forward to the next release

When I read that, I immediately thought of the Police Squad episode with Frank Drebin doing standup... :D

Y'know, after all this ribbing, I think that poor man deserves a song.
