Renaming the Mod: A Step Towards Clarity

As the creator of the Diablo 2 LOD Hero Editor for 1.14, I have received numerous suggestions to rename the mod to avoid confusion with the official release of PlugY for 1.14d. Upon careful consideration, I believe this is a wise decision and am happy to comply.

It's essential to clarify that my version is not an official update from the original creator, Yohann, who developed PlugY in the first place. Instead, I have built upon his codebase, updating it to work seamlessly with the 1.14d patch. All credit goes to Yohann for his pioneering work on PlugY; I merely used his foundation as a starting point and added new features tailored for the 1.14d update.

To reiterate, I am not the original developer of PlugY. My role has been that of an updater, refining existing code to ensure compatibility with the latest patch. While I have made significant progress in stabilizing the build, it is still a work in progress, and I acknowledge that much remains to be refactored for smoother maintenance.

As a result, I must emphasize that the current state of the project is far from ideal, with codebase complexity being a major issue. Nevertheless, after investing substantial time and effort, I am confident that my version has reached a point where it's ready for public release.

The motivation behind this project was the numerous claims that updating PlugY to 1.14d was impossible. Determined to prove otherwise, I took a month-long break from work to focus on the task at hand. The outcome is a working mod that showcases what can be achieved with dedication and perseverance.

In conclusion, I am committed to refining this project further, and once stability is ensured, I will begin refactoring the codebase to make it more manageable and easier to maintain. Thank you for your understanding, and I hope this clarifies any potential confusion regarding my involvement in the Diablo 2 LOD Hero Editor for 1.14.
