With some effort, we could see about updating that update. :)

We were heroes. We were villains. At the end of the world we all fought as one. It's what we did that defines us.
The end occurred pretty much as we predicted: all servers redlining until midnight... and then no servers to go around.

Somewhere beyond time and space, if you look hard you might find a flash of silver trailing crimson: a lone lost Spartan on his way home.

Here's something about modding the client. This also works on the costume creator, apparently: http://strategywiki.org/wiki/City_of_Heroes/Clientmods
We'll see how far this can be taken.

The stand alone Korean character creator is *very* outdated.

However, if you guys updated it somehow, in any way shape or form, that would be cool.

It can be done. I have proof.

(I didn't make this BTW)

http://www.mediafire.com/?11bkjzpg91j6mwm

Here is an external forum link about it including readme http://www.cohguru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7546

It's a modded file for the Korean creator, which adds previously unavailable options, such as Statesman' actual face plate, and other developer only/NPC stuff. 

:P

Cool. Now I could at least build my original first toon again  ;D

So... how do we uptdate this thing to get as many options in as possible?

For the record, this is where I found my copy of the CCC:
http://www.nullfile.com/cohfrontline.com/tools.html

There's a few other things there as well, like an old Hero Planner, PiggViewer and some other odds and ends that some of us might want to preserve for posterity.

Download this, and put it in the piggviewer folder. The site is safe, I've used it hundreds of times before.

100% success rate.

Why Thank you very much,  ;D
I installed the dll file.

Now PIGG viewer is actually working, this is so cool reading all the ingredients
of the CoH folder. :)

You're welcome.

Just don't try changing or modifying the pigg files, haha  ;D

If NCSoft gets bent out of shape about it, they can cancel my CoH account.

Oh, wait, they already did, along with everyone else's.

I just meant to say, we wouldn't want to lose or destabilize our pigg files *now*, would we?

It was a friendly word of advice.

That link is broken :(

Anyone have a link to this standalone costume maker? I would most appreciate it!

I got mine from here:
http://www.nullfile.com/cohfrontline.com/tools.html

And I just tried that link and the download link there for the CCC and it all still works.  Just be aware that I believe its the original version released by NCSoft, so if there's any updates or so for it, you'll have to get them elsewhere.

I have wondered if it would be possible to use demo playback to accomplish something like this. You know... send 'fake' demo data to the client in playback mode, as if the demo commands are coming from a realtime source, instead of a file? It'd be a little bit like a dummy server feeding packets to it, but since we already know so much about demofiles, would take a lot less time to develop (if it's possible at all).

I don't believe so.  The CCC was released well before there was a Mac version of the game itself, so probably not.  Assuming you're not set up for dual-booting, you could probably just use a Windows emulator of some sort to run it.  *shrug*

Are you asking if it's possible to play the game through and or using demo files?

By sending the demofile/s live, realtime commands?

Highly unlikely, if not entirely impossible.

Both my link and the one on nullfile are working fine.

If you look around, there is also one live torrent of it - look for "CoHCC.zip".
