I think you have the attention of the community.

It would be a wonderful thing in fact if the private server was based off an older version of the game. It would not affect the sales of the newer version if the game was sold but gives a backup in case the game is ever dropped again.

Hopefully Nem won't get the attention of NCsoft. Has this been spread around enough? I know people are seeding...maybe we should put a package together on random file sharing sites, and gaming forums, so that it could never truly die? (This is the internet, and since it has already been uploaded, I'm not too worried. I don't think it has a chance of going away now..., but JUST playing it safe.)

I got it up and running the city looks like it had a blackout. (Very dark and hard to see anything.)
The char I made slid down the street and left and right movement was reversed.

And with all that I was and still am smiling.
Thanks for this.

If you change your gamma in options, it'll fix that problem. I had to move mine from 100% --> 60%.

That's exactly what I was seeing, but I couldn't leave the start position. Any attempt to move would cause my translucent toon to run in place.

Just sharing, not complaining. It's a hell of a thing just to be able to do this much, so no one take tales of woe as looking a gift horse in the mouth. :)
I wouldn't use the word "replace," but there's no word for "take over for you and make everything better almost immediately," so we just say "replace."

Yep, this is the exact problem I had. I fixed that problem by adjusting my in-game gamma (in options). Too bad it doesn't work for others then.

Sometimes I can only run in place, other times I can move. I'm not sure what triggers it yet.

The picture will show if you put image tags around the url, like this but without the spaces:

[ img]http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/7285/coxc.png[/img ]

You can type them in, or in the post editor there's a tiny little Mona Lisa icon below the Italics button that adds them for you. Highlight the url then click the button, or click it and then paste your url in between them. :)


... and dagnabbit, that is one pretty picture to see right now. *sighs*

I managed to get in and run (slide) down the street.
Also, changed my option do DEV in the options, was able to move the camera around.
This is a real good advancement .. even saw newspapers flying around.
All was dark, just like everyone else reported.  But, the street is just the way I remember it.

If they can get Outbreak to work .. and just concentrate on that zone, working on the other zones should be a snap!

It would be awesome if someone could turn on the lights!! ;)

Thank you for this!

Oh, got a question:
Looks like Outbreak looks just like the original.  Are the construction of the zones saved within the CoH folder?

I believe so, which is why the game is able to play back demorecords. Besides, even after Outbreak was replaced by the Shivan invasion, one could still do Outbreak as a mission in an Ouroboros arc.

Even after old Faultline, Paragon Dance Party, and Rikti Crash Site got replaced by new Faultline, Pocket D, and Rikti War Zone respectively, all the zones still existed in the game's files.  They found it easier to simply redirect or cut off the entrances to these old zones in favor of the new ones rather than delete the old zones entirely.  They were worried that doing so might break something. We know how touchy the game's code was at times so who could blame them?

Even old costume pieces that got updated/replaced technically still exist in the game code, that's why people could still wear legacy costume pieces as long as they didn't edit their costume.  Once met a guy on Virtue whose character still had the Malaise top.

Ok, I think I'm missing something...

Download torrent/install
Download Segs Executor/run RegistryWriter. 
Use 77.46.18.50 for IP

I was able to log in, create a character, and then I was stuck in outbreak couldn't move, character was transparent.  So I'm halfway there it seems...

Edit:  Now can't seem to log in at all.

Both the "Unnamed" and  "unknown auth protocol 254." point in the direction of incompatible client versions.
So what versions are You using fine people ? :)



I believe the Unnamed Server comes from pointing to -project segs_test instead of -project segs.

Nope.
It has nothing to do with registry, and all to do with client executable :)

Hmm, because I definitely see Unnamed if I point to segs_test, but Freedom if I point to just segs.
