deleted lines from specialpower.ini

i'm 80% sure that the game is crashing because the code in createaheropowers.inc is incomplete/incorrect

will someone help me please

Try changing the specialpower enumerator, and are you sure that the:

AvailableAtStart = Yes

should be yes? If im not mistaken it should be No, because the CaH doesnt start with it enabled

what would i change the enum to? i tried something like SPECIAL_CAH_SUN_FLARE and it crashed at startup

 

also i put it as the 5th power my hero has. however when he loads it's just blank. then the game crashes. there's no icon even though i selected the power

Choose an existing enumerator, that is not used for a spellbook power, which works similarly to what the sunflare does

still doesn't work lol. i give up lol. thx for your time
