Slash Command

/ImageServer <string> <string>

Sets game to Image Server mode.

/ImageServer is used to render images of costumes in .JPG and .TGA format.
The /ImageServer command takes two arguments or <strings>. The first string is the source directory path and second string is the target directory path. For example: C:\COHsource C:\COHtarget. The strings should not point to any directories that have data or files inside them.
The command takes a .csv spreadsheet file containing costume information and converts it into 2 image files (.jpg and .tga). The /notga and /nojpg commands can be used to prevent one type of image file from being created.
/ImageServer was most likely created to place character images on what might have been a player character showcase website for the original City of Heroes when it was live. Now it's mostly used by players.
A big shoutout to @Michiyo for figuring out how to use this command!

To use the command you first need a comma delimited .csv file (a text file whose values are separated by commas) containing costume inforamtion. For example:

10.csv (<-- filename)

STEPS:

Create the source and target directories. For example, C:\COHsource and C:\COHtarget.
Place the .csv file inside the source directory.
Execute the /imageServer command either in-game or as a command line parameter.

For example, /imageServer "C:\COHsource" "C:\COHtarget".

Command Line Parameter

The command can be run at log-in as a Command Line Parameter. For example,

-imageServer "C:\COHsource" "C:\COHtarget".

When used as a command line parameter the -imageServer command executes before the game client gets to the login screen.

Example

/imageServer "C:\COHsource" "C:\COHtarget"

Also

/imageServer
/nojpg
/notga
