The code as it is right now doesn't allow that.
Modifying the code to allow it would require work from the developers.
Effective immediately (as of Aug 31, 2012), all development has been ceased.
In other words, no matter how easy it may or may not be to do, there's nobody there to do it.
And the devs can't do it on their own time - there's no way that NCSoft would allow the devs to take the code with them.

There was a CoH Character creator tool out in Korea at one point that created .costume files to import into City of Heroes. It was taken down last year some time but SOMEONE may still have it. My copy is corrupted and doesnt work anymore, but it was the tool I used at one point to make my Emperor Cole clones before they deactivated the costume parts.

That was part of City of Hero, the Korean release of the game. It was cancelled LONG before the addition of the ability to save costume files. If yours had that ability, it was hacked by someone.
Either way, I'm not surprised that it doesn't work any more, since it loads files form the game, and broke pretty much every time new costume parts were released, since it didn't know how to handle the new data in the files, meaning it constantly needed to be re-hacked, which I think people eventually stopped doing.
@Roderick
Keep your client files around and don't delete them. Better yet, download the I24 beta client.

I still have the City of Hero costume designer on an old PC. It could absolutely save and load files within the app itself, but NOT between the app and the game. They also weren't in the same format as the current costume files (and also, not in English).

Great news Codewalker. I really would love that costume creator and would pay/donate for it. Would make my PnP RPG heroes game!
And if anyone has the old one, and is able to email me to it, please PM me.
I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.
Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.
So sad to be ending ):

It's a bit large for emailing, but I think I might still have the installer on one of my old hard drives (provided said drives are still operational). I'll do some looking tonight and see what I can dig up.|

EDIT: Wow, this thing is old school. It's like, Issue 5.
The bad news is that I don't have the installer. The good news is, it doesn't seem to care. I'm able to run it from a folder on my desktop after pulling it from an old hard drive with no problems.
The other bad news is that it's a bit over 200MB. DEFINITELY too large to email. Got some way for me to... I dunno, FTP it to you? :/

...so where might we eventually find the offline costume editor? The ability to load my costumes would reduce my screenshotting needs like I can't even explain.
Plus, to be frank, it would be ossim. Especially if we could update outfits (since it's offline) to allow, oh, *full-length* dresses! ^-^
If there's some url/thread to watch regarding that, or if you need folks to help test it, I'd love to know!
