=== Prerequisites === You'll need a modern browser and at least a "fairly modern" computer (mine is some eight years old and it has not the slightest problems). Current version of Firewfox WILL work. Edge will probably work with the webbased install. It might work with the local file install but require changing some settings. Other browsers are untested. Older versions WILL NOT work. The tool is designed for a screen resolution of at least about 1400 x whatever pixels. BTW: If you happen to have access to the original backgrounds you could put them under the "places" directory (and edit the list.txt there). === INSTALL instructions: == 1 == Webbased This should be usable at least with current versions of Firefox and Microsoft Edge. You'll need a PHP enabled Webserver (like Apache + PHP) - you don't need to install this on a seperate machine, you could just install it on your PC. Under Windows, you could follow http://lifeofageekadmin.com/how-install-apache-2-4-php-5-6-and-mysql-5-6-26-on-windows-10/ for example (since you don't need MySQL for this project, it's OK to stop after you see the PHP-demo page). Linux users should be able to install apache (or nginx if you prefer) and php right from your distributions repositories. Once you have a working Webserver which is capable of serving PHP generated pages, copy the files the came with this document to to either your "WebRoot" or a subdirectory of it. Copy the config.txt from "data/webbased" to "data". Copy Story, Tachie and Profiles directories from your Heartache 101 installation to the respective subdiretories under game. Point your browser at your webserver, or at the sub-URL where you installed this tool. == 2 == File based This should be usable at least with current versions of Firefox. It seems to be UNusable with Microsoft Edge, at least with the default settings. You might get it to work by changing some security settings - but I'd prefer Firefox anyways, since this is the browser I used for development. Copy Story, Tachie and Profile folders from your Heartache 101 installation to the respective subdiretories under the directory game (relative to the path where you extracted the tool). Copy *and edit* either the files under 'data/local complete' or 'data/local minimal' to 'data'. Local minimal is fine if you just want the Built-in's (you'd have anything beyond this manually). Detailed instructions can be found in the config.txt files. The config provided under "local complete" contains everything suplied with the "offical custom content" (+ Built-In's of course). You could start with this and just remove anything you don't need. (And, of course, add anything you want beyond this). After the installation open "index.html" with your Browser. In the long run, the webbased installation will be much easier, because it will automatically learn about new files you just copied to the subdirectories ...
