Required Directory Structure for Content and Development Tools

The original developers of City of Heroes utilized a rigid directory structure to organize their development and production content. Most tools developed "in house" rely on this directory structure for operation. It breaks down as follows:

• C:\game - this is the root directory of all tools, source, assets, etc... it MUST reside at the root of C:\ unless modifications are made to the tools
  • \data - the data directory houses all content that is ready for use by the client and/or servers
  • \src - the src directory houses all content that is in its working format and not usable by the client and/or servers
  • \catalog - houses html exports of game data for QA review
  • \tools - houses various scripts and tools to assist in content creation or general development and administration
