Offline Costume Creator

I was wondering if there was an application that simulated the costume creator on City of Heroes. My costumes need a lot of work but whenever I log on I end up playing the game and not spending time on them.

Thanks

As far as I'm aware, there is no offline costume creator other than a VERY outdated Korean(?) one that will not help you at all.

No, I didn't know that. Is this both at the tailor and the character creator?

I was hoping for something I could play around with at work.

Something to play around with at work, no, not a good way to do it. Something that most would probably consider not very useful might be able to rigged up fairly easily, but unless you were happy with a program that let you play with the text versions of the files through a basic UI of some sort without any graphical display of what it actually looks like, I'm 99% sure that you'll be out of luck for a long time.

The closest someone outside of paragon studios could reasonably get would to take a TON on screen shots of each different costume piece in all the color combinations and show them one by one. Would be a big pain in the butt, not to mention time consuming, for the display to show a combination of pieces on a character without access to the devs engine for rendering the characters and costume pieces...WAY more patients and time than I would ever have trying to line up various pics up manually for it. Then there's maintenance of the program after that to keep it up to date.

I'm sure that the devs COULD rig something up where they could just have the costume creator as a separate application so we could play with them just like the regular game, but it would take a decent amount or resources and testing that I'm sure they have things that a lot of the players would consider higher priority for the actual game to work on.
