First Step: The HoN_ModMan (Windows)-
(Simple installation of .honmods + Auto update feature)
- 01. Save the HoN_ModMan.exe and all .honmod files anywhere on your computer (You'll want to keep them, so use another partition NOT the HoN folder!)
- 02. Open the HoN_ModMan.exe. Go to "Options" "Change HoN Path" and check if you set your HoN path correctly.
- 03. Mark all .honmod files in your explorer and use drag & drop to drag them into the HoN_ModMan window. Now let go of the mouse.
- 04. Mark all mods in the HoN_ModMan, right click and "enable" them.
- 05. Click on "File" and "Apply Mods".
- 06. "Great Success!" should pop up.
- 07. Start HoN and go into the options. There is a new tab called "Mods". Customize your mod settings here.

Second Step: Two crucial .honmods (Requirement for many mods. I furthermore assume that you use both.)- (Framework for modders that don't want to write their own options UI, or start from scratch)

- 01. Open HoN and start the 4th Tutorial.
