Paragon City now (don't look)

[dwturducken]

With Penny's apartment in ruins, there'll be no homemade donuts to assuage Fusionette's grief and rage this time. DOOOOOM!

Fusionette would have to be rescued, first.

The scripts I put on Youtube parsed demos that people created while being online, so they are useless now. That's why the instructions went away; they can't be used without being logged in to a server.

I have my own set of scripts to create demos while offline, but those are a bit harder to use. Angelus Animi has been using them because she's very, very, very stubborn, but most people would smash their heads against the wall and give up after 5 minutes with them.

Ah ha, good to know. I was worried that our buddies over in Seoul might be giving you a hard time.

What are all these screens from? I never seen the cities like that...though I AM sorta new.

As mentioned on the first page, they were created using Demo files edited by Leandro.

Very nicely done, and really breaks my heart.

I see. I must had missed it somehow. Distracted by pretty picture and all of that.

This is what I imagine Paragon City looks like after someone set us up the NCSoft Bomb.

That's too bad. I had recorded a metric ton of files in the hope of being able to use your scripts on them, not realizing they wouldn't work.

Nice work, but I guess it's redundant to say that videos you made are great.

LOL.  Well played.

All right, seriously, how did you do this? I want to make my own CoH movies!

EDIT: I mean, can we have a tutorial or something up somewhere? :)

There are a number of pieces of tutorials around. I want to have the best shot at learning how to do it, too, so I'm trying to get everything in one place. Maybe Titan will create a Demoedit forum to consolidate it.

Holy *BLEEP*ing *BLEEP*. What used to be Skyway City, as of five minutes ago.

Once again, Leandro making the magic happen here. I'm going to guess that this is based on a "Nuked Skyway City" map meant for the Battalion attack.

At least we know there are some survivors in there...

:'( My main went by the name of Skyway Defender....... RIP.

Very basic stuff to get you started is at ParagonWiki.

Leandro's right, of course. However, be forewarned that there are a LOT of dead links in the Wiki now, thanks to NCSoft's decision to nuke the forums from orbit. I'm trying to take them out as I find them, but I'm spinning a lot of plates right now.

[eabrace]

I'm pretty sure we could run a quick check and find all of the dead links to the forums.  It would just be a very, very long list at this point. :(

[Leandro]

Here's the article the screenshots were for: Watching the World End

They didn't use all of them, so I might post one or two more to Twitter.

Actually -- and please tell me if there'd be a better place to discuss this -- before the apocalypse the nice people at Archive.org were trying to index the forums. If so, it might make more sense to wait and do a global replace to point all those wiki links from coh.com to whatever the base URL turns out to be for the archive.

[eabrace]

A specific discussion about that would be best suited for Wiki Discussion down the index a ways.  Short answer: if we can directly link the old posts by just changing the base address, it's an easy task for a bot.
