Sorry for being away for so many months. Real life got in the way.

For those of you that are having problems with the editor, there is an alternative way to put your character into a location. The technique requires having a save game in that location, and you can insert any saved character at any experience level into the desired save game.

If you have a save game anywhere inside the Shadow Ruins, you can use the character import feature of the Multiplayer LAN mode to put your current character into that save game. You won't lose your experience, skills, or your inventory (except for maybe some special quest items that you didn't have in the save game).

1. Start DungeonLords.
2. Select Single Player.
3. Load the save game that has your latest, best character.
4. Save the game.
5. Quit to main menu.
6. Select Multiplayer.
7. Select LAN.
8. Click HOST GAME.
9. Click LOAD SAVEGAME, and choose the desired save game that has the location you want.
10. Click LOAD CHARACTER, and click "last saved single player character" button, then click PLAY THIS CHARACTER.
11. Click the checkbox on the lefthand side in the "READY" column.
12. Click START GAME.
13. The save game should load and your last saved single player character is inserted into the loaded game.
14. Press ESC, click SAVE GAME, and save into a NEW slot.
15. Quit to main menu.
16. Select Single Player.
17. Load the new save game that you just saved.

You should now have your latest best character loaded into a copy of the desired save game. Any special quest items that you did not have in the save game will not appear in this save game, even if those items were in the "last single player character" save game. Somehow, the game keeps track of your progress with respect to special quest items.

You can use the above technique to repeatedly insert your best character into a prior save game to repeat fights and experience gains, like fighting Ghazbu for 2 million experience points. Instead of selecting "last saved single player character", you would select "last saved multiplayer character" for the subsequent loads.
