I got that, but what about entirely new characters?
If you change every entry, it will be an entirely new character. You could also use the existing ones as a reference and start from scratch, but then you will have to be very careful about the structure.
I downloaded it....but I can't seem to start. I've opened the application and am on what I believe is the start screen (I can name a character, choose a gender and allocate stat points and such), but when I click start, nothing happens. Am I doing something wrong?
Could you post the contents of the log file? It should be in the same folder as the jar. And just to be certain, you did enter a name, right?
