Making A Character File

A character consists of two things at minimum:

  1. A picture named "thumb.png", which is the picture displayed in the TNH menu
  2. A text file named "character.txt", which holds all of the information about the character

Any custom loot pool icons will also go in the character file.

Below is a list of properties that a character can have. Additionally, a "character_template.txt" file can be found in the custom character folder, which can be useful for getting started creating a character.
