Making a modified pigg file

Requirements

You must have a complete data set that works for the mapserver and client with -createbins. At present, this method has been tested using the 2500 data set, with an I24 mapserver building the bin files.

Process

• Modify the raw files you want to change (such at the .ctm files governing character costume availability)
• Delete the relevant bin from the bincreate data/bin (or data/server/bin) folder
• Run mapserver with -verbose 2, it should recreate the bin when it reaches that point in the loading order

• Make a working folder somewhere, we shall call it ROOT, I used my Tequila folder where city of heroes is for the test
• Build pig.exe and put it in ROOT (it might be called pigtest.exe)

• Extract the pigg file into ROOT/(pigname) (eg ROOT/Bin for bin.pigg)
• Put your modified files inside the folder, overwriting the originals
• Run

  pig.exe -c <folder> -i

• You will now have <folder>.pigg in ROOT
• Put the pigg in your piggs folder

• The client (and server?) should now load it.
