openheroselect's Issues

Defaultman might cause issues with the 50 roster

A user recently was unable to load a save with a 50 roster built from OHS.
It has been confirmed that many used OHS normally before, without load/save issues. I don't have any idea currently, how to test this.
The issue could have been a length limit issue, as the count is 51 with Defaultman. It could've been a different issue, like a problem in one of the herostats, but it's less likely.
Removing Defaultman poses a different issue, so changing that code should be considered carefully.

	//for mua, add defaultman, unless no roster hack is installed and all 27 character slots are filled
	herostat += DEFAULTMAN[FORMAT] + comma[FORMAT] + "\n";
