To save people the trouble of scrolling endlessly through several threads to find a basic step by step way to enter the world of Paragon Chat (and save myself the time to explain this over and over) I made a "9 step How To" (for PC (windows) users).
If I forgot to mention something important that really should be in there, feel free to PM me about it on either here or Deviant Art and I will add it as soon as I can.

Hope this helps!

That said, I do wonder, should we set up a patreon or something for all of this? it seems like someone should be getting compensation at least for the server bandwidth and cpu cycles.


Well, you can always make a donation to the Titan Network, using the little blue "Buy us a cup of coffee" button, at the bottom right corner of the home screen :)  http://www.cohtitan.com/

That is where I sent the people with questions, alongside this FAQ thread, but I kept getting followup questions, so made this instead.  :D

Yes it does. just avoid installing it in desktop, program files, or any other other things in your C:\Users folder

Assuming that you are not stuck in a download loop because of your firewall or antivirus -- the download for the full game is 5GB. So right-click the game folder and click Properties to see how much you already got.

Speaking of F.A.Qs...

I caught an Icon thread...where...people have been playing with...map creators...or editing the map pigg files?  I think I read where Leandro said there was actually a 'map creator' in the client?  (BUT....!)  It needs a 'server' to access it.

One other thing about Issue 24 that intrigued me...was that Leandro said he was 'finishing off' some of the finished maps from Issue 24...

Oh intrigue say I.  One of the absolute gems was the 'Warf' map.  The one with the absent memorial to Statesman?

Part of me speculates that the day...(and I believe one day...it will...) that Issue 24 goes 'live' with combat and NPC spawns...(yes...'whenever...' ;)  that we will see that zone finished off?  A triumphant epitaph to Score's work?

It's a beautiful zone like a kind of Atlas/Founders zone hybrid.

We can access it in Icon...but cryptically(!) not in Paragon Chat? *bats eyelids innocently.

While I want to see it "finished" as well, I would not want it to be an epitaph. Because an epitaph is something in memory of a dead person or thing, and one hopes that SCORE does not die.
I used CIT before they even joined the Titan network! But then I left for a long ol' time, and came back. Now I edit the wiki.

I was recently  talking to Dell Alien Ware support and asked about Windows 10. They  strongly  advised against using Windows 10 until the bugs are worked out.  Despite what platform it was built upon, any new OS has bugs. :-\

Just goes to show, Dell tech support is just as utterly useless as it's always been. :p

Installed in Documents, then used the Windows 7 compatibility. It runs great.  ;)

Right, you can see its interface with Titan Icon by using the commands:

/accesslevel 10
/canedit 1
/edit 1

But without the server to process the map editing commands, it doesn't do anything (the UI doesn't show up). Paragon Chat has some more bits of it, but it's not currently enabled in the normally published builds, because it's far too buggy and incomplete. This is what it looks like:



No ETA on when it'll be finished. It might not be finished for Paragon Chat at all, and remain in the backburner until SCORE proper.

Intriguing stuff.  Thanks for the info' and screenshot, Leandro. :)

*Can you imagine Lua scripting, Map editing and GM powers in the hands of the community?  The community can take the game far in advance of the original developers through a force multiplier of development.  The community could come up with their own NPCs...their own zones....their own interior maps....

The potential of various SCORE projects revealed and hinted at...racks the mind with possibilities.

...and using the Map Editor to one day finish off Kallisti Wharf?  (Very nice zone reminds me of Atlas and Founders Fall...)

'SCORE PROPER.'

At one point, Codewalker posted a projected list of future PC updates and what they would address, but I can't seem to find it.  Could anyone point me to a link for that post?  Thanks.

That would be it.  *Facepalm*   That's what I get for starting at the end and trying to work my way backwards. 

Thanks, Dyne!
