therealnaganrhys Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Can anyone tell me where Homecoming's "*.bin" files are located, starting with "C://"? I've looked in "Games\Homecoming", "%APPDATA%", and I've done a pretty comprehensive search, but I've had no luck... Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WanderingAries Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 My instinct was to point you to this (and it may still be useful), but I'll take a look at my install real quick. There's a BIN folder in the root of the installation folder. For me, that's located in C:\Games\CoX\Homecoming. If you're not sure where you've installed it, then right click your icon for the game and look at the path.

Do you mean the .exe file? ..It only takes one Beanbag fan saying that they JRANGER it for the devs to revert it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AboveTheChemist Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 As far as I know most (or perhaps all) of the .bin files are packed into the .pigg files, which are in <CoH Root Folder>\assets and the various subfolders therein according to the server assets they contain. You'll need a pigg viewer to access the pigg files and extract any bin files you need. You can try this thread for some pigg viewer suggestions, the most recent posts are the most relevant: https://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/5405-piggviewer/ 1 Popmenus > Badge List | Optimal Paths | Conversion Possibilities | Emotes Wiki Pages > Costume Color Schemes | Set Bonus Comparison Tables Maps > Vidiotmaps | Optimal Paths | Halloween GM Maps | Winter Gift Maps | Offline Map Viewer Sounds > Banshee Sonic Attack Datasets > Recipe Salvage Components | Badge Name & Settitle ID | Exploration Badge & History Plaque Coordinates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSpectre Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 A lot of the data that .bin files contain has been documented over at Ourodev.com. Looking that website over might be easier than trying to decode or reverse engineer the .bin files. I remember running across a fairly decent post detailing an attempt at decoding the .bin files. You can probably find it if you google for it.
