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.
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!

Obviously I know that it is very likely we are not going to see any of these but one can dream.
And because when you dream, you should always dream big:
Voltron style body parts
The power sword from Masters of the Universe
Some Masters of the Universe Style weapons and body parts
Some Ghostbusters-type stuff (uniforms, proton pacs)
However, again, thanks for what you are doing.

Thanks for that list! Identifiable props from an existing IP I probably can’t do, but inspiration is always good.

Actually all those mecha links got me pretty pumped up. That might be a really cool “expansion pack” with items across tons of slots. Thanks for the inspiration!
