New PC 1.0 Users can now download the quickchat.exe and get their quickchat working hassle free.

Not sure why but when I download this it does nothing - just spawns two processes in task manager which I can't end for some reason. Anyone else seen this happen?

I've not seen this issue, I'm curious as to what platform you're running?

Interestingly enough, this Phoebus link can lead you to three different places, depending on where you port from!
Two of us today were experimenting and you could end up 1) On the front porch of the temple  2) In a cave with corridors  or 3) On a boat inside a cave, with a force barrier blocking the cave mouth.  If you port there from Atlas, we would end up in 1 or 2.  From Pocket D or from Praetoria, I would end up in 3.  Some sites would consistently give the same destination but Atlas and Pocket D varied.

Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. It's probably not actually anything wrong with the executable, I had the same thing happen with Paragon Chat itself a while back and I never figured out what caused it there either - just fixed itself after a while. Probably a bug in my computer somewhere but not severe enough for me to bother fixing cause if I do it'll generate a new one or two and they might be worse.

You can also follow the install instructions below the quickchat link. It's really simple to do once you find the main folder for paragonchat

Paragon Chat has been upgraded to Version 1.0, as of...April 2nd?  I think.  All of a sudden....my menu has gone back to the original one.  No QuickPort.  :-(  Help!  I've checked all the files, I have the emote.cfg and zone.cfg files, in the right place, and the quickchat.mnu file, in the right folder, I've opened each of them with Notepad to check the contents, which look right....and yet when I log into Paragon Chat, there is only the original Emote menu, no sign of QuickPort at all.  Has anyone else reported this?  Can you help me fix it?   :gonk:

Download the new quickchat.exe file at the top of the thread and install it. That will fix your issue entirely.

Thank you!  ;D  Worked like a champ, and easier, too.  Will this only work for 1.0 users, or for both 1.0 and 0.9 (for the people I've seen who don't want to upgrade from 0.9 yet)?

I noticed this about the FrostFire link, as well.  Depending on my starting location, I port into one of three locations...one by the front door, one near the Lvl 1-2 elevators, and one near the Lvl 2-3 elevators.  The unfortunate thing is I can't find any way into the half-pipe room!  :-)  What are our chances of either getting some control over landing spot, or else getting the doors to unlock/open inside missions?  Is there anything I can do to help work this out?  P.S. what are the chances of getting a link to the Cavern of Transcendence/Cavern Trial map?

Took me awjhile but it's works.
Just DrinkTea emote is't working...

"Claymug" or whatever the old emote was- needs to be changed to 'Teabag'.

Sorry everyone about the tea cup emote, I've just not taken the time to update it yet. I'll repair it and re release sometime tomorrow when I'm not working :)

I had an interesting time helping someone that could run PChat, but not the QChat add-on.  I got into his hard disk and searched EVERYWHERE for his City of Heroes files so I could re-install PChat and make sure the pointers were pointing to the right files.  Turns out they were in Documents in a folder named 'New Folder'! So, I ran the PChat installer with the '-nux' option (causes the installer to ignore any previous installs and install as new) and of course, it didn't find the files.  I renamed 'New Folder' to 'COH' and ran it again and it didn't find the COH files, so I used the Browse option to point it to the \Documents\COH folder.  It identified the files as I24 and installed without error.  Then I downloaded and installed the QChat mod and it ran perfectly. 

So, if Qchat is not installing, locate the COH files, rerun PChat install with -nux and point it to the COH files you found, and then install QChat.

NOTES: Exit PChat and COH. Turn OFF your antivirus while installing (and you may have to tell it later to not test PChat so it won't block it).

Just wanted to say thanks for this.  I've used it more than once on diff devices, and it always works like a charm.    Much appreciated.

I tried to add more of the maps found in icon to the zone.cfg in appdata but paragon chat refuses to load without removing the modification. Guessing paragon chat has a file check or is there something else im supposed to edit in addition to it? Wanted to add praetorian tech maps so I tried:

#      Menu "Praetorian Tech"
Zone 6700
  # "Praetorian Tech 60"
  MapFile "maps/Missions/P_Tech/P_Tech_60/P_Tech_60_Layout_01_01.txt"
  RoomID praetoriantech60
  RoomName "Praetorian Tech 60"
  SpawnLocation NewPlayer
End

edit: now paragon chat loads but the map doesn't show up in the menu anywhere.

Change it to

  MapFile "maps/Missions/P_Tech/P_Tech_60/P_Tech_60_Layout_01_01.txt"
  RoomName "Praetorian Tech 60"
  Category "Praetorian Tech"
End

also add this line near the beginning of the file with the other categories, if you haven't already:

   Category "Praetorian Tech"

How to get to the Head of the Hydra badge location
« Reply #59 on: January 05, 2017, 08:45:38 PM »
Make a copy of zone.cfg and call it zone.cfg.backup or whatever you like. You can find zone.cfg by clicking the folder icon on the ParagonChat login screen and navigating to the folder called Config.
Open up zone.cfg in a text editor, and add the following lines at the end:
Code: [Select]
Zone 5898
  # "Sewer Trial"
  Mapfile "maps/MISSIONS/UNIQUE/TRIALROOMS/SEWERS/TRIAL_01_01_ROOM.txt"
  Category "Other"
  RoomName "Sewer Trial"
End
Restart Paragon Chat, and you should be able to get onto the trial map with /mapmenu or /mapmove 5898. The badge is at the bottom of the shaft in the ooze.

The zone number (5898 here) needs to be unique, so look the file over and change it if necessary.

If you've defined a better Category at the beginning of zone.cfg, for example "Sewer" or "Trial" you can substitute that where I've put "Other"
If you don't put a Category, or you put an undefined one, I believe it won't work with /mapmenu.
