Guess what I saw~!

While I was patching the client for the test server, and it started fixing the files, I saw among them "playerFemHuge.pigg." Looking in the piggs folder in both my City of Heroes directory and my CohTest directory revealed this file to be present in both places.

I don't recall hearing anything yet about female hugies. Has this been noticed before?

If it has been noticed, I think I shouild remind you that pigg files are like the Fight Club.

They are? I thought you just weren't allowed to post any screenshots of unreleased content. All I did was look in a directory and see a filename - I have no idea what its contents look like.

You're not allowed to look into the PIGG files at all. More to the point, don't get caught doing it.

But, Fem and Huge are in the same set of PIGG files. What you saw was nothing new.


As far as I know

Hate to break this to you, but that file contains the stuff for Female AND Huge models, not Huge Female models. It's been that way forever.

No, even mentioning what you've seen is punishable with a lifetime CO sub - it's really not worth the risk.

Are you trying to say it's forbidden to open the Piggs folder and look at the file names listed there? If so, that's just silly. I can look inside any folder on my computer if I want; it's my computer, after all.

Take a look at the stickies... Specifically http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=112831

Course, that was -way- back, but it's something at least in the past their lawyers considered akin to decompiling. Not something they can stop you from doing obviously, but something they can stop you from talking about.

That doesn't mention anything about looking at the file listing in the folder. It just says you can't use a program to open and view the files.

Gah, ya, I misunderstood/read what you said. I'm sorry. I read what you said as open up the piggs themselves, not the folder that housed them. I r dumb .

Also, if I'm understanding the OP correctly, he saw the file in the scrolling it does as you download/apply files in the updater. Absolutely no rule against looking at it there, since it shows it to you every time a patch runs.

On the official forums, anyway!

That's just dumb. Now, opening or viewing the files, and especially posting about it is against the rules, but looking at the file names is not, and it's kind of dumb to even suggest that it is.

Read the rules about .piggs again. Looking at file names is not against the rules. Looking inside them is.

That would be so cool if they did add female huge models. I have some ideas for characters that would really benefit from that type of model.

I want female hugies too - I actually have a character that would benefit from this already.

Really wish that our Developers would consider the idea of a "Huge Female" more acceptable.

Yeah, but young kids play this game, so they are not about to endorse drug use.

They could also add a "teen" male/female body type. Or "animal-like" body types.

They don't because they'd have to also do a copy of every animation in the game for these new bodies. They'd have to make a copy of every costume peice, every aura, ever everything.

And from now on, their work is now 1/3rd larger for making new powersets and costume peices.

An easier way to do some of this is to just allow more variation of the sliders. Extend their lower and/or upper range, I mean. (Of course I don't mean to say this would be easy in and of itself, just probably easier than adding more whole body types.)

I want a boobless feminine body SO BAD. It's just flat-out weird that my lizard-woman is forced to have mammaries!

I think "flat-out" is not the right choice of words for this
