The new command line argument -assetpath will point the client to the piggs folders, in load order.
The new command line argument '''-assetpath''' will point the client to the piggs folders, in load order.


Options:
* The default is -assetpath piggs
* -assetpath homecoming (for live)
* -assetpath piggs -assetpath hc-beta (for beta)


Currently, there are 2 folders storing pigg files:
:*<code><COH Install Directory>/assets/Issue24</code> is for all of the original COH pigg files.
:*<code><COH Install Directory>/assets/live</code> is for all of the piggs added or altered by Homecoming.


==Example==
* When running City of Heroes without a Homecoming launcher, the game client needs to be directed to both of the above folders by either separating each folder path by a semicolon, or by using '''-assetpath''' twice in the command string (one of each folder).

Command Line Parameter

-assetpath path

The new command line argument -assetpath will point the client to the piggs folders, in load order.


Currently, there are 2 folders storing pigg files:

  • <COH Install Directory>/assets/Issue24 is for all of the original COH pigg files.
  • <COH Install Directory>/assets/live is for all of the piggs added or altered by Homecoming.
  • When running City of Heroes without a Homecoming launcher, the game client needs to be directed to both of the above folders by either separating each folder path by a semicolon, or by using -assetpath twice in the command string (one of each folder).
  • If additional pigg file assets are created for the game, this command can point to those files and tell the game to check the new folder. For example, -assetpath assets\mods
  • In Issue 26 Page 5, three options were created to be used with -assetpath: "piggs", "homecoming", and "hc_beta". However, Homecoming has since revised the directory structure for the game files, and these options no longer point to the correct folders.
  • This command line parameter was added by Homecoming in Issue 26 Page 5.


Examples

-assetpath assets/Issue24;assets/live
-assetpath assets/Issue24 -assetpath assets/live
