[Succulent] Arusu (Paladin) [Level 30 | A5 Norm]
So for the third time, I've been silently testing Succulent with a completely new re-re-re-awakened Asuru (technically Arusu but I made a typo .. damn.. I know I can rename the char though with some tools, haha. EDIT: name has been corrected). Things are going good and the mod feels really nice. I don't have many tweaks I wanna make so far but there are some minor stuff including continued rebalancing of gambling prices. But everything else so far is feeling amazing. Some screenshots below and his current gear. The circlet, gloves, and all of that is pretty crazy knowing that if I twink other characters, they can use that at level 1 or very close to it either by just putting some points into some attribute points, or using charms to boost those attributes at level 1. For now I'm just chilling in Normal, grinding Meph for gear, and will start grinding WSK L2 until level 50, as usual lol.

You really like Paladin's, don't you?
I've renamed some of my chars in ATMA with ease. No need to go into registry or any funny business like that. It's the only edit function that works (and I'm glad -- I'm not a fan of hero editors). Anyways, when you edit a character in ATMA and rename it, it automatically clones that hero and gives it the new name that you entered. So you'll still have the original character. I like that functionality as it seems like the safest way to handle it.
As a side note, I'm still looking for a nice Polearm for my future Succulent Barbarian.

Re: Asuru (Paladin) [Level 30 | A5 Norm]
@Manny Lol actually I normally only always played Sorceresses, but recently I've been playing Paladins, primarily cause I want to maintain the fantasy of this Dragon Warrior theme lol, and I've been restarting in different patches lately -.-, kinda tired of paladins honestly ATM but yea lol
And yea I know about ATMA and have used it but don't want to install it. The nice thing about prelod characters is you can just rename the file I believe and the character is renamed, but if I'm remembering wrong you definitely could just open up the character in a hex editor and just change the name in there and it's fine (up to 15 characters). 1.07-1.09 changed it IIRC where the checksum needs to match so if you wanted to rename you would need to change the name (maybe via hex) and then recalculate the checksum (this is something that needs to be done programmatically rather than trying to figure it out by hand).
In my case if i wanted to rename, I prolly would use Hero Editor cause I already have it installed and use it for Succulent testing
. As for safety, well.. we got the Cactus backup feature so I just "Backup", then try to rename, and if it fails or corrupts it, no problem
.
As for the polearm, hopefully you find it soon lol.

I was able to rename the character with no issues with Hero Editor. The adventure will continue!
