  1. Both hp1 and hp2 editor work well.But HP3_EDITOR.uwp is not working. after click it will show up a message ‘to install this update, you have to make sure you have installed the editor’ and the below page appears ‘hp1 update’ instead of hp3. (the size of hp3_editor.uwp is smaller, maybe its not the real editor installer?)

    From the moderator: usually for the correct installation it is necessary to… Start the hub, specify the path to the files of the third game, close the hub. Run uwp package. Therefore, check all installation steps.
    This project has been closed for 2 years now. Therefore, it is now problematic to ask a question even to the author of this editor.
