CoH Revival Project: SEGS

[Solari]

Hey Broxen,

Thanks for all the hard work... will there be a Patreon or similar for this project?

Delivering a playable, street-sweeping Atlas Park would be a platform to raise some money IMO to push things along.

We have no plans to accept money for our efforts, donations or otherwise.

Wow, noble effort All I can say is thanks again then and good luck!

What's up now?

on CO- yup. Loved COH, CO bugs me and I tried to play it again yesterday, and after an hour it just wasn't doing it for me, and I remembered why I left it the first (and second) time.

I remember getting a little tired of the monthly COH fees, but for anyone out there doing research into games people want, I'd gladly go back and pay for it now. Maybe I would not stay for years like I had, but would certainly pick it up every few months when the urge hit me.

Since ya'll asked for updates here. We released our v6 today nicknamed Outbreak.

We're excited because it includes some pretty great improvements including:

• preliminary powers support, including inspirations, enhancements, buffs
• preliminary map transfers -- use `/mapmenu`
• Contacts, ContactLists, Trade System, Emails, Further improvements to Dialogs, Teams, Friendslists, DoorAnims, and SEGSAdmin
• Early Lua scripting support, which allows us to start creating missions. Zophar has created some in the segs-community GitHub repository already!

You can find us around the webs and github, or join the discussion on https://discord.segs.io

Admins: let me know if you'd prefer I not post these types of things. We love you guys!

It's the Off Topic thread. There shouldn't be a problem.

Go for it.

Wow, great update!

I’m actually very tempted to download this now

A couple of the community members run public facing servers. So if you'd like to just hop on and see, you can try one of those.

I'm on mobile, but details are on our discord #welcome channel.

tried but couldn't connect to the discord site. not really familiar with discord. probably did something wrong.

Funny, someone in chat mentioned seeing your name pop up. Maybe discord was down that afternoon?

Should be able to do it all through the browser, but there is also a Discord client you can download

The Coders of SEGS, in my opinion, have the idea that everyone else is a coder. And we should be familiar with everything to install SEGS.

You have to have City of Heroes version 1.06 - And in my opinion it is not easy to find that.

You have to go to a Torrent to download it, and install it onto your computer.

That is the first hurdle.

Next if you don't have a RAR opener, you have to get a RAR opener to open SEGS rar.

The READ ME is not a txt file, but an md file; (which I didn't know what that was, until recently, a file that opens with Note Pad).

When I was on their Discord, I never got a good answer as to where the City of Heroes 1.06 is to download.

Most of these Torrent sites require registration. Some of the sites require your credit card, (which they won't use if you don't buy anything, which CoH is free). And to top it off you better download the right version or SEGS will not work.

Personally I'm not a fan of Torrent aka BitTorrent. An easy way to get a Trojan.

SEGS is working on the CoH tutorial, where you do have level 1 powers, and you can apparently level up.

This is a work in progress. It may take them a couple of years to even get half of CoH complete, or it may take less.

Meanwhile. Ship of Heroes in my opinion shines like a torch for me. And I busy myself with Champions Online and Paragon Chat which they might not have powers, they do have Bases. And Base building can be fun.

This is my two cents on SEGS.

Spending waaay to much time building my base there.
