Codewalker has released his own little Icon for us to play in! Download it here: http://www.cohtitan.com/forum/index.php/topic,7288.0.html ~AggeI woke up from a dead sleep this morning because of a dream I had. (For context, I have been trying to import costume files into the Korean Costume Creator.)
I dreamt that I was able to turn the actual CoH client into a working costume creator by using a memory editor to bypass the login and server selection screens.
Now, this may seem far fetched, but from previous real-world experience, in 2006, using the Cheat Engine (yes, I'll admit it), I was able to access all of the developer costume options in the character creator. The only problem was that you couldn't actually create a character and log into the server since my account wasn't flagged as an admin/developer. I was able to create a character wearing Tyrants helm, with Wyvren costume parts and Lord Recluse's backpack.
What Cheat Engine did was allow you to view the memory of CoH while it was running and by tweaking the code of what was on the screen, it allowed you to open new parts and choose things that you normally don't have access to.
I really do think that it might be possible to use Cheat Engine to bypass the login and server screens to send yourself directly into the costume creator, where editing the memory again, will open up every single costume part to play with.
The only problem I have is that I haven't used the Cheat Engine in about 6 years and all of the links I had to a (now-offline) site on how to edit CoH are gone. So I don't have access to the specific memory edits anymore.
So my challenge to anyone interested in turning the CoH client into a full-fleged costume creator is this: find any sites that link City of Heroes to the Cheat Engine.
I've exhusted all of my searching capabilities and I'm going crazy trying to find anything on my PC that I used at the time relating to my Cheat Engine exploits.
I do believe this is entirely possible. Everything that I was able to edit in the memory was all client side and had nothing to do with anything server side.
Hope some of you can help with this.
