HeroMachine 3 “Phoenix Edition” Progress Report

Can you tell I’m workshopping the name of this update? Anyway, I want to keep you all apprised of how the conversion process is going.

A screen shot showing the "Load" screen from the new HeroMachine 3 app.

You can now upload not just saved character strings but old Flash Cookie “.sol” files. For a long while that was the only way to save characters but it was tucked away in a hidden location that was hard to get to. Now if you have one from Back In The Day you can import it like any other file and all of your saved characters will be there, fully editable, without needing Flash at all. The test file I got from a long-time and awesome HeroMachine community member had 375 characters saved, and now they can all live again.

In addition I added an “Export All” button so you can keep your characters in a safe place outside of the site. I dread the thought of clearing your cookies and suddenly all your data is missing.

I’m also adding more new items under a central theme!

There will likely only be around a dozen or so as I’m learning how to use Inkscape instead of Flash but it sets the stage for much more down the road. So if you have any item requests you’ve been wanting, go ahead and send them in, I’ll keep a list.

Thanks again everyone!
