As I added to the end of the post about 3 minutes after posting it when I realised some people might have problems downloading it yet, the domain name was only set to the correct IP address earlier today so it is possible some people won't be able to reach it yet, my registrar does say it can take upto 24 hours to propogate through the entire internet, I can email it directly for those who can't reach it yet though.

I have had one person send me an email who has managed to download it and I have managed to download it myself so it probably depends on when your DNS server is updated with the new IP Address, your machine might also cache the previous address if you have tried to access it so if you just hibernate rather than shutting down when you turn off you might still have problems.

I'm just about to place an updated version as soon as I've posted this message on the server in about 2 minutes that should catch any errors and tell you what the problem is along with some short instructions on the UI, there is no functional change so anybody who has downloaded doesn't have an urgent need to download it unless they have got the less than useful error message it was originally giving out.

While I am posting here I would like to add to anybody using the Stars Host Editor dll NOT to use the dll in the zip file instead of the previous versions, while it looks newer and more complete it is kind of in the process of being converted to make the code an awful lot simpler for the turn generator I'm planning so there is an high liklihood it will not do what you are expecting or cause other problems, I've not even looked at testing the changes with anything other then the testbed creator yet, I'm waiting until I start work on the turn generator to do complete testing of the DLL again when everything has been cleaned up.

EDIT: Just noticed that Gible has managed to download the previous version so you can download it from there if you can't get to my site yet, I've included the instructions from the new version below.

Select the game you want to create the .hst for and then click the button.
The .xy, .h and .m filenames in the .xml file must be valid.
If you are using a different directory for the created .hst and .m files (Recommended) then that directory must exist.
You wil also have to copy the original .xy filename to the same directory as the created .hst and give it the same name.
