I've bought Star Wars The Old Republic and tried it, Tried DC Universe, even played around with Sims 3 just for something to do but still find myself wanting to play City of Heroes almost every day. A lot of the time I'll log in here and read a ton of posts and write a bunch of stuff but can't bring myself to hit the post button and instead I logoff and find something else to do. I miss our city and I miss all of you.

I watch  lot of demo's I recorded everyday and I've messed with that old character creator but it's not the same. Thinking of making a tribute/memorial video of COH, my charcters, my friends but it's going to take me a long time to do one as I'm not very good at demo editing as of yet.

Have you tried the new one? http://www.cohtitan.com/forum/index.php/topic,7243.msg89408.html#msg89408

It now works with the latest live client, and if you read a little further down in that thread it even shows you how to access npc and other restricted costume parts. It's not like getting the whole game back, but it's a really nice piece of it :)

I have, Made a new character, storm/water blast defender called Agent of Atlantis and then thought how much fun he will be to play and realized that wasn't going to happen, so saved the costume and shut the program down. It's great to have access to the character creator and most of the costume parts. Just need a program that takes costume files and makes them usable in demo records now.

That character does sound fun to play! I still have hope that you'll get the chance to one day. And that I'll get the chance to play Wyndigo, the Spines/Bio scrapper I was looking forward to making, and everyone else will get their chance too. It'll take a while if it does happen; and who knows, maybe it won't. But I just have this gut feeling that we'll see our city again someday. :)

And I'm even more sure that a costume file to demo record program will happen. It'll just take some time to figure out and put together.

Ooooooh... shiiiiiiny... :D

I heard about that but I figured it took a lot more demoediting know-how than I had time to get into. Now I'll have to try it out. Danke schoen!

No problem. You guys should visit the Demo Editing subsection more often ;)

Shoot, son. It took me two months to look outside the Save Paragon City section. I'm not whatcha might call an "intrepid explorer". :P

corvus1970

Hah! Fortunately there are those of us who not only explore, but send up flares when we find something interesting :D

I have seen that but can't get it to work for me.

Please explain further.
I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go
Walkin' with a dead man over my shoulder

Waiting for an invitation to arrive
Goin' to a party where no one's still alive

Yes indeed! :D *packs a bunch of sandwiches to hand out to the explorers*

Well, if it's the same problem I've been getting, then it's basically this: At Stage 1 you select and upload a .costume file or Sentinel+ extract file, and it goes to Stage 2. You set your various options and click "Create .demorecord" ... and down at the bottom it says "Error on page". Nothing else happens. No science, no magic, just a whole bunch of nothing. :(

Yes, same problem i've had when I tried it a couple off times.

Odd. I just tried writing demos from both a sentinel file, and then a costume file, and it worked just fine for me.

Try leaving the options at the default setting before proceeding, and then see what happens.

I would love a Praetorian version of this where your character takes the place of Praetor Duncan.

Nope, still comes up with an error for me.

Huh. I tried it in a different browser and it works fine :)

Cryfire... if you're using IE like I was, try using a different browser instead. It worked for me when I switched to Firefox.

*shakes head* I don't know why I still use that thing, I really don't. :roll:

corvus1970

Ahhh yes, good idea. If you have an alternate browser, definitely try that.

If you use IE and don't have an alternate browser, for Zod's sake go get one *lol*
