The Big Giant Icon Thread

Well, it's not the full game, but I'll take what I can get.  Thanks Codewalker!

Im a mac user (one of the ones with a startup issue.

I have to ask there is a 3rd cider file called cider.real, that is not mentioned in the Mac instructions.

Is it just because you just dont change it, or is it an additional file that some others dont have?

[Golden Ace]

Once again thanks CodeWalker

[MisterMagpie]

is not having capes normal or am I magical?

[TargetOne]

This is too cool. Now I can at least view all the costumes I created in CoH, hadn't had a chance to get screenshots before the game closed.

[Aggelakis]

Are you wearing another costume piece that blocks access to the back section? e.g. trenchcoat, etc.

Nope. This is the guy who couldn't get a cape:

And I just tried it with a totally cleared character, and still no cape option. Gonna try re-downloading it and will report back.

EDIT: No go! I am capeless.

[Codewalker]

That belt has a cape on it, that's probably the source of your trouble.

Oh no, I tried a blank character several times and no cape was present. And when I tried with this character, he didn't have his belt. I forgot to specify that in the post. It was just the only image I had of who I was working with.

This made me teary eyed...  Seeing the start up screen got me all emotional...  :-\

Ah, I think I know what the problem is.

Uncheck the "Only show free costumes" button in the bottom left.

[Septipheran]

Just wanted to say thanks again for this Codewalker. You are awesome.

[Felderburg]

Maybe I'm missing something, but I can't seem to find the Ascension costume pieces.

That file is created by the NCSoft Launcher.  It contains the old Cider application, except with some sort of garbage in it so it no longer runs.  That's why cider_noui is used instead.

As for people who are having trouble modifying their install - I was under the impression that NCSoft solved the problem of Mac users using several different versions of Cider in the Mac version, but apparently I was wrong.  So rather than test out every version (which I don't even have anymore) and write up separate instructions for each, I'm going to attempt to distribute a customized package that I know works instead.  It will include instructions on how to copy over your CoH game files (because obviously it has to be distributed empty).

[MisterMagpie]

Ah, I think I know what the problem is.

Uncheck the "Only show free costumes" button in the bottom left.

It's always a combination of embarrassment and relief when it's something so simple to solve a problem.

Thank you very much for your help, Codewalker. And thank you again for making this program.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
tytytytytytytytyyty tthaaaannkkk yooouuuuu


also, im curious about parts like the snakes and banished pantheon parts. im guessing because those are such altered rigs they dont work at all for the bodies, but they still do emotes and the talons have the snake tails... so how did they do that? XD

and i made a princess peach. ^_^ grrr for no umbrella mace option.

LOL Change the color option to blue and send this to the Mouse. Looks like Cinderella has finally had enough of her wicked step family.  ;)

[mikoroshi]

'Allo, 'eroes.

Now I've got this working, I made some cool guys (and gals) I'd like to share!

Is there a thread for Icon-made toons going yet?

Nevermind.  I found it!  If anyone else was wondering the same thing, well here you are.


[[EDIT: Fixing mangled link ~Agge]]

[Phaetan]

the think tank got added i think for last years halloween, it was brought back earlier this year for the anniversary i believe

Correct.

the fish-bowel looking one was only added with the retro sci fi costume set

DO NOT WANT a fish-bowel helmet...

Also, thanks, Codewalker.

The quote below regarding the character creator is from this thread: http://www.cohtitan.com/forum/index.php/topic,5754.0.html

"Literally trillions of costume combinations available right out of the box, with hundreds more costume pieces you could earn, unlock, craft, or purchase, making over 4.5 quindecillion (4.5 x 10^48) total combinations per costume"

Now, who volunteers to calculate and add up all the NPC costume parts we have?

:P

[corvus1970]

Not it!!
