Looking For A Few Good Files
« on: March 14, 2013, 03:28:59 PM »
Does anyone happen to have the Architect Edition install disc(s)? I know I for one would like one of the files off of that, and Codewalker wouldn't mind archiving the whole build.

I can't remember if I have those at home or not.  I'll check this afternoon.

I've got that disc. Which file are you looking for?

Myself, I want bin.pigg and CityofHeroes.exe. Codewalker I'm sure would be happy to just have the entire ISO data.

Looks like Blondeshell's got you covered but if you need it, I've also got that disc.

Don't let that stop you from hosting the files somewhere. I still need 'em. (-:

Those were very helpful. One more request: Does anyone have those same two files (bin.pigg and CityofHeroes.exe) from the Mac Edition CD?

Unfortunately, there was no physical disc for the Mac Special Edition. It was download-only. The Architect edition is the closest CD version there is to that.

I do have those files saved from Issue 11, though, if that's not too far back.

Actually, that sounds just about right. I'm trying to nail down the earliest build we still have access to that included the effects of powers in the .pigg data. The EXE file actually contains the file formats of the data files within bin.pigg, so I can get into the information that way.

Go ahead and post those files somewhere, if you would. Once I have a chance to look through them, I'll post about what exactly I'm doing with these files.

That brings up an interesting question.  Which clients made it onto optical media?

Interesting.  That suggests many versions of the client are gone forever.

The following versions of the game would be available on disc: Issues 0, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, and 18. I personally also kept snapshots of the pigg files at issues 11, 16, 20, 21, 22, and 23. Between those two lists, I'm missing issues 1, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 15, 17, and 19. I know Codewalker kept some versions archived, but we've never compared lists so I don't know what's actually not available.
