 Designer Hero is a replacement program for Lil' Pip's Hero Planner. Hero Planner was a great program for planning out your City of Hero Avatar from level 1 to level 50. Unfortunately, Lil Pip no longer plays CoH or maintains Hero Planner, and it has grown increasingly out of date. For example, it does not support ancillery power sets or the new Kheldian epic archtypes. Designer Hero is meant to be very familiar to those who used Hero Planner, but it goes farther. Not only does it support the new power sets, it has a built in enhancement calculator, enhanced save files, a nicer print report, and many other tweaks and improvements. (Last Updated 8/25/05) Simply right click on the link and save to any folder of your choice. Then use an unzipper to decompress the files (make sure you have directories on, all the graphic files should end up in a subdirectory called "images"). You're all set to go! The Data File: Before downloading the text file, run Designer Hero. The date of the data file is displayed in the title bar. If this version is more current, you should download it (into the DH directory) and restart the program. (Last Updated 8/20/05) Coming Soon: The following items are scheduled to be added to the program in the very near future (not necessarily in this order). 1) Import of Hero Planner files. 2) Expert mode 3) Mouse Wheel Support 4) Hamidon Enhancements Reporting Bugs: There are two methods you can use to report bugs. The first is via PMing me in the CoH forums (my user name is RonLHiler). The second way is to send an email to RHiler@rjcyberware.com. In either case, please provide as detailed a description of the bug that you can manage, and, very importantly, tell me what operating system you are using (Win95, Win98, WinXP, etc.). Thank you again for trying out Designer Hero! |
