Nope, all you have to do at the end of the target location is type " -n" outside the quotes.

Yeah, I tried that, and I only get to design wolf spiders.  Nothing else.  I'm guessing I'm missing something.

Try unchecking the "show free costumes only" box.

Observations: 
No Jump Pack or Zero G Packs, although not too surprising since they were player powers and likely "baked" into the animation.
No goldbrickers jetpack - perhaps also backed into the player power and the the goldbricker model.  That was a sharp piece, whoever created that.

Its sad but playing in the COH costume editor is more fun than playing CO, DCUO, STO, or SWTOR. LOVE it. And I will set up the npc version to get the rocket boots. Thanks again.

still couldn't find the rocket boots with the -n.  :(

[corvus1970]

They are there, trust me:

They are fairly close to the bottom of the list, a bit above the unique character boots.

the unique backpacks that i noticed were the sky raiders rocket packs and a few other easily recognizeable pieces

I found the rocket boots. They are definetly thete.

There's a couple of checkboxes beneath the body sliders labelled 'Fake Arachnos Solder' and 'Fake Arachnos Widow'. Make sure these are unchecked/empty.

I for one had fun with the items hidden in the shoulders category:

Loincloth/Tabard thingys! 8)  I've wanted a costume part like this since I first started playing.

I was also greatly saddened by this; yet another interesting plot wrinkle that would never see the light of day.

[NecrotechMaster]

thats awesome and horrific at the same time lol

I'm inclined to believe that was content scrapped from the game at (nearly) the last minute. They were first seen waaay back in mid-2011 and never again after that: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:3uOoMGGRf4oJ:boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php%3Fs%3Dde005ebb20e8122bd1a3cbf557838050%26t%3D263711+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=pl&lr=lang_en|lang_pl&client=firefox-a

Not gonna lie, kind of got a little twinge of sad when i saw the cached coh forums layout. :(

[NecrotechMaster]

im pretty sure there were awakened stuff in parts of first ward and in some of the mishs, idk if they looked exactly like that but it was definitely very similar

here we go, this is the one which was actually in game

New Question for Codewalker!

Would it be possible to make costumes using the NPC version of Icon [with NPC parts], then save them, then load them in the non NPC version of Icon [just like we can now], BUT THEN have them still be useable by skipping "read as unusable"  and the "costume fix" part to view them with the powers/such?

I ain't him, but I'll try this out right now :P

EDIT:
The non-NPC version won't take my fully made Statesman costume. It says "invalid parts", and using the fix makes him default and generic looking.

It seems the "invalid" checker on costume file loading needs to be disabled, if we wanna do like you said.

Which is probably impossible.

I also tried loading a costume I hand edited myself, in the NPC mode. It didn't let me load it, but it *did* show up in the costume select preview, somewhat.

When I forced it to load, it made a default looking character. If a costume says 'invalid parts' in NPC mode, you can skip it, but it probably won't work right.

I was trying to make a female Statesman and got the patterns for his outfit, but no mask/helm will show up or work.

Demo edit may your best option to achieve what you are trying to do.

[daveyfiacre]

awww darn, i was trying to avoid having to learn demoediting because that seems complicatedddddd but i may have to overcome my fears and inhibitions sooner or later, huh.

thanks SO MUCH you two for trying/replying!!! :) i was going for something inbetween your two attempts Arachnion XD

What I've done is placed two shortcuts on the desktop, one for normal Icon, the other for the NPC version. Works like a charm.
