I don’t know what to do about that…I can’t do it either! The reason it doesn’t work as a simple copy-and-paste is that the text contains tags, which are then removed by the forum, rendering the text useless. So that bit isn’t you. I suggest posting the text on another website and providing a link, as a temporary work-around until someone (not me!) figures it out.

I…think you just started two identical topics, Jawsabi. I’m fairly sure that’s not what you intended to do?

How to load from text:
There’s not much point having all your characters saved as text files if you just leave them there and don’t ever use them. So here’s how to get them back onto the program. First, open the folder where you put the text file. If you put it in a sensible place, clearly labelled as “Heromachine text saves” or something similar, this bit should be easy.

Find the one you want, and open it. Again, easy as long as you named it properly. Select all the text again – if you miss any, it won’t work.

Copy it and open up HeroMachine. Click the “Load” button just above the “Save” one. You are (hopefully) now looking at a list of all the characters you have saved on the program.

There are three tabs this time. You are on the tab “Your Saves”. Click on the “Text” tab. In case you didn’t know, the “Templates” tab contains a few example characters made by various HM’ers and sent to Jeff, who added them to the program. One of them is the Male Fantasy Warrior I’m using for this tutorial, because I can’t be bothered to dig out one of my own!

Now paste the text into the blank box. Click “OK” and your character should load.

If it doesn’t, that probably means at some point you failed to copy the text properly. Go back and try again. If your character does load, however, well done! You have successfully followed my instructions. A final hint: You can also use this method to transfer saved characters from one computer to another via e-mail, etc. Happy HM-ing!

Text saving tutorial:
First, load up the character you want to save as text. I’ll use this one, from the Templates, as an example.

Click the “Save” button, like you would to save it normally. But here’s where it starts getting different. At the top of the Save box there are two tabs. You’re on the “Your Saves” tab, and it’s showing all the characters you have saved on the program. What you need to do now is click the other tab, which says “Text”.

Something that looks like this ^ should come up. Select all the text – it’s very important that you don’t miss any. It helps if you know a keyboard shortcut for this (it’s Ctrl+A on a PC).
http://i1111.photobucket.com/albums/h464/Kaylin88100/HeroMachine%20Tutorials/3.png
Copy the text, and paste it into a text editing program, like Notepad or Word. I prefer Notepad.
http://i1111.photobucket.com/albums/h464/Kaylin88100/HeroMachine%20Tutorials/4.png
Save the file to your computer, in a sensible place. If you have a folder for all your HeroMachine characters’ images, I suggest having a folder in that one called “Text Saves”.

Finally, give it a name so you’ll be able to tell which one it is when you want it again. Done!

Hi Jawsabi, welcome to the forums and could you maybe tell us a little more about yourself? From what I’ve seen of your posts so far you seem like a very interesting person.

(Uhhh…I can see this one getting nowhere fast…)

The thing with Kairula is that it doesn’t need an Industrial Revolution, when it’s already had a magical one.
The quality of life is about the same as modern-day Terra, if not better.
