Costume viewer / editor utility.

[HugoLuman]

EDIT: Seeing as the assets for the game are all there on our computers, and we still have our costume/sentinel data, why not construct a facsimile of the costume editor? In this way, we could at least take back at least one of the best parts of the game.

ORIGINAL:Well, we've all got our costume data, but it's useless without the assets. If anything is hidden clientside, though, we could potentially remake a fascimile of the costume/character editor as a seperate exe a la Spore Creature Creator.

As far as I know, all the art assets are contained in your folder - which is one of the reasons not to delete the game.

[HugoLuman]

Including 3d models?

[Golden Girl]

Yes - all of that stuff is in your folder - almost the whole game is :P

[HugoLuman]

Which archive file then? I'm getting one of those things, like a thought with pictures.

[Golden Girl]

I've never tried it, but I think you need to look in the pigg files for the art assets.

[HugoLuman]

Hmm, any ideas on a utility for that? Boy, haven't gone archive diving since modding Skyrim!

The utility already exists. Has done so for a long time. I even have a copy. :)

[HugoLuman]

What I meant was what utility is there? Already found it though, commencing pigg diving.

So far, player costume pieces/animations seems to be in "player" and the "stagex" piggs

What is the Utility called?

What is the Utility called?

CoH Character Creator. It was made just before the Korean version (it's in Korean but there's a workaround) of the game came out and contains all the original costume pieces. I believe you can add the later pieces as well. The program was removed for U.S. use and is currently really hard to find, though it can be done.  ;)

What's the workaround for the Korean text in the offline creator?  I hate being illiterate and having to go down EVERY single list to find what I'm looking for, every time I want to recreate a costume.

Oh, and how do you add recent costume pieces???

Thanks!

I believe this is it

To get it to run in english:
start>run>regedt32

HKey_Current_User\Software\Cryptic\KRCOH
Change the Locale entry to 0

After that, right-click on the KRCOH key, select permissions.
Pick the user account that you use normally.
DENY that account Full Control.

Accept the message.

This changes the locale to english, and prevents the application from resetting it to Korean when you launch the application.

No. That's not the utility.

It's called Pigg View Pro
And it was written by TonyV...

Any suggestions on how to go about adding the more recent pieces, even if only some of them?  Do I need to go pigg diving myself (which I've never done before), or is there someway rather less technical?

And by the way, you weren't kidding when you said it was hard to find.  I lost count of how many dead ends I hit before I finally found it, heh.  XD

You found it? PM link?

[sl701]

A link via PM would be most appreciated,, I second that  :)

[Adrenalin]

Here's a link to the older instructions for adding extra costume pieces; http://www.cohguru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7546

Read through the instructions before attempting, and realize that it does make the creator a little messed up. Not sure what it will do now since so many pieces have been added after that was written. I'm just glad to have the originals.
