# 1 How to have rainbow powers

I figured out how to make a set of bind files that let cycle through colors automatically rather that stick with a fixed color. The basic idea is to rebind keys 1-7 to not only push a power, but also change color, and load a new set of commands. Here is the step by step.

1) Create a .txt file in you Cryptic Studios\Champions Online\live folder. Start the name however you like. I used the character's name, Garland. End the name with a number that will be part of a sequence. I used '_##'.
2) in the text file copy and paste these 7 lines without the brackets into the text file.
<
1 "powerhue 0 0$$+PowerTrayExec 0$$bind_load_file Garland_02.txt"
2 "powerhue 0 0$$+PowerTrayExec 1$$bind_load_file Garland_02.txt"
3 "powerhue 0 0$$+PowerTrayExec 2$$bind_load_file Garland_02.txt"
4 "powerhue 0 0$$+PowerTrayExec 3$$bind_load_file Garland_02.txt"
5 "powerhue 0 0$$+PowerTrayExec 4$$bind_load_file Garland_02.txt"
6 "powerhue 0 0$$+PowerTrayExec 5$$bind_load_file Garland_02.txt"
7 "powerhue 0 0$$+PowerTrayExec 6$$bind_load_file Garland_02.txt"

t "powerhue 0 0$$+PowerTrayExec 14$$bind_load_file Garland_02.txt"
shift "powerhue 0 0$$+PowerTrayExec 16$$bind_load_file Garland_02.txt"
>
3) Duplicate that file 7 times, s that you have 7 .txt files in your live folder
4) Name the file <yourcharacter>_##, or whatever you like
5)go into the files change each instance of 'Garland_02.txt' to whatever you choose in step 4. The important thing to remember is each file needs to load the next file in the sequence. Every line of XXXXXXX_01.txt needs to load XXXXXXX_02.txt.
6) Go through and set the second 0 to whatever color you like. Make it the same on all the lines in each file.
7) Log on with whatever character you like. type '/bind_load_file Garland_01.txt' with out the quotes and using the file name you chose.

And that should be it.

Let me know what if you like it or have any question, or better if you like up fun ways to tweak it.

Why exactly does it matter if Cryptic does or does not know about this? Do you view this kind of bind as wrong/bad or something? Just curious.

Anyhow I think this bind would be a great source of silly amusement for some! :D To bad you couldn't literally make the color of a power a rainbow.... would make fire breath look hilarious! lol.

Or in other words a cast member from Joseph and the technicolor dreamcoat that dropped a bad acid tablet.

That's what I was aiming for! :)

And you aren't messing with game files in the least, you're creating a text document that changes binds.
