Overview

Paragon Chat is a standalone chat program created by Codewalker and Leandro that allows the City of Heroes client to access an XMPP chat server. The City of Heroes client was distributed for free to anyone who wished to play for free by NCsoft while the game was in operation, and XMPP servers and programs are available as open source software.

Installation

Paragon Chat requires Issue 24 files to run. If you have the Issue 24 files already, you are good to go! If you do not, you may install via Tequila (Island Rum coming soon!), as explained in the Titan Icon article, or you may download them directly from SaveCOH.com. Tequila (and Island Rum soon!) can be used to download and patch Paragon Chat.

Alternately, download the program file and place it in the same folder that "cityofheroes.exe" is located in. Note: if you do not use Tequila, you will need to update your ParagonChat.exe manually each time there is a patch.

Logging In

Your XMPP username, and thus your Paragon Chat "global name", is determined by your Titan Network username. Note that if your username has a space in it, your XMPP name will have an underscore instead, e.g. Bob Dole on the Titan Network would be Bob_Dole for Paragon Chat.

To log in to Paragon Chat, type in your username@chat.cohtitan.com in the Login field, and your Titan Network password. Click Launch City of Heroes. This will take you to the City of Heroes login screen. You can type anything into these fields, as they are not outwardly visible. However, you will want to use the same username every time, because character data will be saved on your computer per username typed here. Once logged in, you can create a character and enter the game world the same way you would with a working server!

See you in the City!

FAQ

Help! I'm invisible!
Update to version .96! You should stop being invisible.
Help! I'm seeing invisible people!
Tell them to update to version .96! They should stop being invisible.
Can I change costumes? Can I use the other costume slots?
Yes! Visit any tailor, including the nonstandard ones in Pocket D and the Rikti War Zone.
How do I create a new global channel? How do I join an existing global channel?
Both of these simply require /chan_join name.
How do I see who's on?
You can't see a list of everyone who is on yet - soon(tm)! However, if you /gfriend someone's global name, they will show up in your Global Friends list. And if you are part of a global channel, the member list will show up in the friends list pulldown tab. A good "guesstimate" of how many people are on is to look at the Paragon Chat channel, since everyone joins that by default and only people who have manually removed themselves will not show there.
Are there travel powers?
Not yet. Soon(tm)!
Is there walk?
Not yet. Soon(tm)!
Are there supergroups?
Not yet. Soon(tm)!
