So, as I look at the inactivity of the forums for HLO, I just wanted an update on things.
Can one use a portrait of a character that is from a paint file like in HLC? Can one save Portfolios on the computer at home, or on an USB drive like HLC? Can one print out a character sheet on Mozilla, the standard of browsers? Can one use or make custom character sheet, like Ancient One's excellent sheet on HLC, with Starfinder yet? Is there a way to use HLO in an offline mode when internet is not available? Have there been a way to test this out without paying for it initially? (I have still not been able to log in using my HLC license) Any information would be appreciated. |

No; no; yes, but a basic one; no; no; yes.
Note that (as we've said in other threads) you don't use your Hero Lab Classic information at all with Hero Lab Online. You need to create a new account or (if you have one) use your Realm Works account info in order to try out the Demo. Make sure any extensions you're using aren't blocking the scripts/sites needed by the site. Last edited by Parody; May 19th, 2018 at 08:50 AM. |

Mozilla the standard browser? Maybe in the 90s.

Assuming you can trust a wiki. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefox
Its still somewhat popular, however Chrome, Edge and Safari have likely edged it out since its not default on any machines such as the other 3 are. The only "hobby" GW is interested in is lining their pockets with your money. |

Me too! My High school buddies used to tease me because I always just used IE since that was what was installed. Come on, install firefox, all the cool kids are doing it. And like a 90s PSA about the dangers of peer pressure I buckled. Good thing my friends were nerds rather than * insert preferred teenage clique to deride *!

Everyone knows Lynx is the standard for Web browsers. If HLO can't be run in a text-only browser it isn't "ready" yet.

Jokes aside, Firefox is one of the browsers the site suggests when you visit with an unsupported browser so HLO should work in it as best it can.

In all other ways Firefox works great for HLO and is my preferred browser with Safari on the iPad. For a little nicer looking printed sheet I do use Chrome to create a PDF character sheet. Other than that I would advise against using Chrome as its too finicky of a browser and has strange issues in HLO. But its chrome and I never expect much from it anyways. If I get the chance tomorrow I wil post an example sheet from Firefox.
