Hatut Zeraze Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 One day I will actually see what HERO Designer looks like.... I can't get my HD6.jar file to open with anything but Adobe Acrobat. It won't give me options outside the Microsoft App Store and of course Java won't be there. I have attempted to hit a YouTube tutorial on opening .jar files with Java in Windows 10 and every step looks like I will have to educate myself about elements of programming that I have never had to use. I will do so, I suppose, but if anyone knows some kind of user-friendly way to manage this, I would much appreciate the help. EDIT: Apparently "Jarfix" was the magic bullet I needed. I believe it is already fixed. Simon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclevlad Posted April 8, 2020 Report Share Posted April 8, 2020 I have this batch file in the same folder as HD6.jar: javaw -Xmx1024m -cp .\HD6.jar com.hero.HeroDesigner 14 The parameter at the end tells HD to use 14 point font as the default, which I definitely need. It also allocates a gigabyte of memory; I have a 16 GB system so that's fine. It doesn't need that much; you could change 1024 to 256 readily enough.

Though with the current versions of Hero Designer you don't have to allocate ram using a batchfile. The program has a setting for more ram, and saves it in the preferences file Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ran a whole bunch of memory hogs...as in, 4-6 gig. Once you're setting up the batch file anyway, too, you don't have to think about the preferences.
