I've been waiting for three weeks to get on another laptop to use HEM, and now the alias wont connect to the name. I've read through the FAQs, i've gone onto
alias management to connect, when i try to attach the player to the alias on the bottom half, it still comes up with "You cant select an alias that does not have any players attached to it"


I play on stars.
The account name is "KrisCapitals", it works with my old name (KRISINCAPITALS) but i dont even use that anymore. what do i do?!

Hi Kris. Perhaps this will help...

The Hero name is in the database right ?
You have set up Hero name ?

1] HM menu bar > 'Options' > 'Player Aliases...' > 'Alias Management' dialog appears

2] Click 'Add Alias' button & a dialog pop ups asking me to enter an Alias

3] I invented '11111' & clicked 'OK' button & '11111' appeared in the top window of th Alias Management dialog
(you should not pick an alias that is already a screen name in your database - It's best to invent an alias that's easy for you to remember)

4] I then clicked the 'Add Player' button & chose a screen name from my Database to attach to the invented alias '11111'

5] I then repeated step 4] & added another screen name to the same '11111' alias

6] I then closed the alias management dialog

7] I clicked the 'Change' button in HM & changed the hero name from my real screen name to '11111' & it worked fine - the stats displayed in reports were the combined stats for the 2 players I put under the new alias

Is that what you are doing ?
At which step above are you getting the error message ?
Why are you aliasing screen names together ?
You are using an invented alias & not your screen name as the alias name ?

It wont let me attach anything to the alias. I've tried many different aliases, some completely random so its not already a screenname.

Also when i try and auto import what table i'm on, it just comes up with 0/6 no matter what size table i'm on.
