City of Heroes Character Editor Available

Posted by Zonk on Wednesday January 18, 2006 @07:57AM from the super-monkey-hyper-force-go dept.

1up reports that the amazingly versatile Character creator that City of Heroes players have enjoyed since launch is now available for free to download. You can't really do anything with the characters you create, of course, but it's still pretty cool. It's officially being released for the Korean launch of the game. From the article: "Not only does it include all of the game's hundreds of costume options, but auras and capes are available for screwing around with from the start, which is spiff if you want to see how they're going to look on your guy before going to all the trouble of getting him to level 30."

Apparently the NCSoft legal types are taking a close look at this now. The guy who put together a guide to using it, including a registry tweak to make it run in English, has had to take down his guide - http://www.wrathgame.co.uk/WRATHArt/character_crea tor.htm

I wouldn't have thought the registry tweak was such a problem. I mean, if they didn't want it to run in English, they shouldn't have had English as the internal default that it uses if you use regedit to deny your windows account permissions on the KRCOH key, should they? ;-)
