Hero Editor V80 Installation Options

FIRST: READ THESE Dos and Don'ts

1) Hero Editor usually requires that you are using an English version of Windows and your computer is set for single byte letters/Unicode, NOT multiple byte letters/Unicode. (NOTE: I have never had this problem, but others tell me this solved the problem for them.) From your Control Panel (Start > Settings > Control Panel) run Regional Settings, look for something about Unicode. Make sure the Unicode setting is for single bytes. Then make sure you have the language setting for English.

2) If you are using Windows 2000, NT, or XP, then make sure you have Administrator rights when you install Hero Editor. If you are the only user of your computer, then probably already have Administrator rights.

3) If you left click on an item picture and the mouse cursor jumps to the bottom right of the screen, then go into the Options tab and in Option (5) "WinXP Mouse Jump Correction", select "Disable Mouse Centering".

4) If pictures don't seem to line up properly, you probably need to set your screen to use Small Fonts.

5) If you have a firewall (such as the WinXP built-in firewall), make sure you don't block downloads from this site, or your download file will have 0 bytes.

6) After you have installed and started Hero Editor, press and release the F1 key, and a Help file will pop up that will give you a description about how to use some of the features of Hero Editor.



SECOND: Known Bugs in Hero Editor V0.8: (see V0.82 below*)

1) Corpses are not recovered properly from a character file. Go into a game and recover corpses before trying to open the character in Hero Editor.

2*) Set names are not displayed when you "mouse-over" V1.10 Set items.


3*) When Item Attributes "Other" is selected, if you right-click on the "Other Stuff" window to the right side, "Base Sockets" and "Quantity" selection are mixed up.

(* fixed in Hero Editor V0.81, see below)

THIRD: Where do you get Hero Editor?

Download the ZIP file into a new directory. UNZIP it. There should be three files ("setup.lst", "setup.exe", "Hero Editor.CAB"). Run (double click) the"setup.exe" file (or just "setup", if you have known file extensions hidden), and follow the directions (Click on the big button, on the left side). BTW, if a message comes up re "Version Conflict", answer yes (to keep the newer file that you already have).

Hero Editor is a stand-alone program, so you can actually have several copies on your computer in different directories, and run any one of them. I am not sure if you can run more than one at a time (I am not sure how they share the DLLs). So yes, your should be able to start Hero Editor by double clicking on the EXE file (icon). I actually have all versions of Hero Editor that I have developed, all in different directories, so when a question arises about a specific version, I can run that particular version.

I've run into one problem that I haven't seen posted here on the boards, and was wondering if anyone has run into this problem as well as me.

I opened the d2s file fine, but when I tried to save it went all wacko, like was telling me to make sure the file wasn't read only, or if the name was 'legal' and I know it is, because I made the charectar in game, saved then opened it in HE.
