Cancelled on account of Game Mismanagment.

If you're like me and make a lot of costumes, you know keeping them organized is pretty hard. Especially with bugs that don't let you save them with an actual name.

So I wrote a small utility to help. It will let you browse through your saved costumes, and rename them, not only the Windows filename, but the name stored inside which displays in the Tailor. It will also let you change the Time/Date which is shown in the Tailor as well.

I'm highly allergic to documentation, so I will just say it should be pretty self explanatory, I did put in some help in the program itself though (not a lot though).

The only non-obvious thing is that you can use the PgUp/PgDn or Left/Right arrows to cycle through your costume files, once you open the first one. There is also some stuff about changing the Gamma and such, that is for display purposes only, and does not change the file.

It also has a setting to make a backup of the file being renamed, which is enabled by default.

And for simplicity sake, here's the usual locations of the Costume files:
C:\Program Files\Champions Online\Live\screenshots
or
C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\champions online\Champions Online\Live\screenshots


Now for the legals. While I have made every effort to ensure this program works well and doesn't do any harm, The program is offered as is, and I accept no liability for any corruption of save games or your computer dying, or your wife leaving you, ect. Use at your own risk.

If you have suggestions or problems, please let me know here in this thread.

And before someone says it, No it doesnt' steal your password, or your key or anything else for that matter, nor have any virus, trojan, or other harmful garbage. I don't need that kinda of drama in my life.

Enjoy.


Changes in v1.1 (1-8-2010):

• Added the ability to delete a costume from the utility.
• Added several keyboard shortcuts. You can now use the following: Ctrl-D will delete the *costume*, Ctrl-R will bring up the rename dialog, Ctrl-I will bring up the Info dialog, Ctrl-minus will decrease gamma and Ctrl-plus will increase Gamma.
• Fixed a couple possible error conditions that would cause the app to crash.
• Fixed a display formatting error.

Oh wow this is usefull. Did a pass with RIsing antivirus and didn't detect anything malicious. Haven't tried the programme itself yet though.

I'm so trying this out, i have well over 50 costumes saved, and i really need a way to sort them out, without having to load everyone till i find the one i need.

Thanks! :D

Cant wait to try it out. Thank you very much!

I receive and error on trying to install. Tells me the install config is incorrect... :(

Yep, I made a goof. Seems it won't run on some systems if they don't have certain DLLs already installed. I'm at work right now, so I can't work on this, but tonight I'll recompile it to include the necessary DLLs. Then it will work on any system. Sorry for that! :o

Wow, this is awesome. Took me a while to rename all of my costumes but omg, now I don't have to hunt through the entire list looking for the ones I want.

Let's get a sticky on this, it deserves it!

How does this work? does it automacly do it I try to rename a costume file normally? or do I have to open the program and select the file?

You select a file initially to rename, using a file dialog. from there you can browse through and rename or not as you like. It will remember the directory in the future for easier editing later. But under no circumstances does it do anything automatically.

Well, is there a way to program it too? I will absoulty not be able to remember That I have to use this to rename them......
