Not only does it let you get around not being able to open doors but it lets you...

See the scenery beyond the War Walls

Fly above the ceiling of the sky

Or even hang out under the floor of City Hall inside the reflection.

I can't thank you enough for this, Codewalker. :)

Was on it all day yesterday after reading about this and getting the update.

Going to futz around with it a while before going to work today and will some more after I get home.

Thank you. In a small way I have my city back.

Thank you.

All I get every time I try to run this is: We couldn't find a cityofheroes.exe file in the current directory. Please select the game installation you wish to use. I cannot find any way to do that.

eabrace · May 22, 2013, 03:12:29 PM

Is the icon.exe in the same folder as your cityofheroes.exe?

firenze · May 22, 2013, 06:24:14 PM

I don't appear to have an icon.exe anywhere

Then download icon.exe from the OP and put it in your City folder. Run that to get in.

I am back in Nerva! This is wonderful!

sure is quiet and lonely. oh well, just means I have all these houses to myself!

Lycantropus · May 23, 2013, 06:35:53 AM

At least we can see it again. BE there.

I keep thinking "and if I could just", and "I can't wait 'til..."

I used to spend hours just wandering zones and taking screenshots of places and getting to know areas... I love to explore

Then I realize how happy I am to just be able to go there, fly, run, jump... hear the songs as I switch areas, and even just the ambient sound in a contextual sense... getting to explore my 'city' again...

For the moment, that's enough, and a sight more than we had not too long ago.

I cannot express this enough; Thank you Codewalker.

Just... thank you.

Works fine in NPC mode.

Yep, was PEBKAC error.

Edit: Thank you everyone who added additional information :D

For what it's worth, I've spent more time on icon in the last couple of days than I've spent on all other MMOs combined for the last couple of months. Thanks for doing this, and keep up the good work!

Solaris · May 23, 2013, 03:53:06 PM

*man-hugs Codewalker* Too wonderful. Just...too. :'( :)

Styrj · May 23, 2013, 05:48:34 PM

Excellent work Codewalker!! :D Whatever it is you are doing, please don't stop!!

BTW have you and nemerle had a chance to compare notes? He is also doing great work with earlier version (I3 or I4).

JetFlash · May 23, 2013, 06:20:55 PM

Nicely done Codewalker. Nicely done. 8)

Lenya, it all depends on whether you make your toon a Hero, Villain, Resistance, or Loyalist. And also whether you choose to enter the tutorial or not. Now just use Codewalkers quote from above to get where you want to go.

Ah, got it. Thanks for the enlightment. I didn't dare to go to the tutorial since I wasn't sure if I can go on to AP afterwards, I suppose I cannot. But it's nice to have these options nontheless.
