Client-side modifications are changes to the way your local computer renders and plays City of Heroes.  You cannot change the way the game mechanics function (IE: You cannot make yourself do triple damage or become invincible), but you can change the way certain things look or sound.

''Please be aware though that client mods and PIGG viewers are wholly unsupported by Cryptic and can be deemed as breech of the EULA.''


The way this works is if you explore your City of Heroes directory (Referred to as COH_DIR from now on), there's a directory named "piggs".  Each of the files with .pigg extension are collections of files.  They contain textures, models, sound effects and so on.  However, your City of Heroes client will check to see if those files are "replaced" before using the default version in the appropriate .pigg file.
