Hey all,
I'm working on a project but can't seem to find some of the files i'm looking for in the piggs. I'm looking for the Atlas statue and some others such as Talos and the Blyde Square statues. I've looked through defnames.bin but I can't find any references to them. Can anyone help me with the specific pathnames?
-
I can't help you sadly but I am looking for something to explore bin files. Perhaps you'd care to share the program you're using?
-
anybody?
-
Noyjitat, I have used the Pigg viewer from http://sourceforge.net/projects/piggviewer/ (http://sourceforge.net/projects/piggviewer/) to explore the pigg files. I can view the inidivual bins within the piggs using this program (done so on Windows Vista 32-bit and Windows 8.0/8.1 64-bit). When I assisted with mapping the seqbits to movs, I exported the bin files as text and used scripts to search them, however once you've exported a bin as text from a pigg (man that sounds funny), you can use whatever you want to view its info.
-
I don't understand then... I see a bunch of other files contained within the bins when opening them in wordpad. Aren't the bin files containers like .zip? When opening them in wordpad it certainly looks that way. I'm trying to figure out how to add npc costumes (like people did on that old out of date cohmods website) and how to modify fx.
Maybe I just don't have the brains for this anymore I dunno... seems more confusing than it should be.
-
Wordpad is a text editor. Useless for editing binary files. Try something like Hex Workshop.

I would look in this thread: http://www.cohtitan.com/forum/index.php/topic,7699.0.html That appears to be in line with what you want to do.

Where did you get the d3dx9_28.dll file?
-
Anybody remember opening a bin file .exe or .dll in notepad on pre XP windows?
Your PC would go nuts and usually lock up.
Those were the days.

You can google it and download it. People say not to do that but I've yet to run into a problem and I've had to do this for several older programs and games to get them to function. Some sites exist just for files like this that are missing.

So is there any .pigg file views that are compatible with Windows 8.1? I found out that PiggViewer is only compatible with Windows XP.
-
No one's developed a pigg file reader that's specifically compatible with Win 7/8, but you should be able to get it to run by making a few settings adjustments.
To get it to work with Windows 7, I made these changes on the "Compatibility" tab of the program or shortcut properties:
- Run this program in compatibility mode for Win XP SP 2
- Disable visual themes
- Disable desktop composition
- Disable display scaling on high DPI settings
- Run as an administrator
I don't know what the settings options look like in Win 8, but those would be similar things to look for.
Keep in mind that you still can't use the import feature to update textures, but you can view, export, and get sounds to play.

Yeah, Windows 8 is completely different. Fortunately for me, after my last post I was asked to change out some computers and I got to keep the old one, which just happens to be Windows XP. Thanks for you help though, everyone.
