Rename Hero

Post by Soullessktty »

A simple request. Sometime I want to rename my hero for whatever reason. My Hero is having identity crisis :mrgreen:

I agree. I've wanted this for years. Problem is that this is a very low priority and with limited resources, this tends to get bumped down the list. We may be able to if it is a quick fix.

This has come up many times. I see no harm in being able to change the hero name. I've done it using a binary file editor to fork a build.

Hello Percy23, welcome to the forums!
Just like what rijackson741 typed, you can do that safely by using binary file editor such as "Hex editor".
Your quest has been fulfilled! It's time for a nap.

But you need to do it in two places
1~. First time you see it won't change it. But you need to change it there

the second time is by the items you have

I have only ever changed the second occurrence. Then when you load and save, AT fixes the first one (the reverse does not work).
