Hi
There is no plugin required, but you do have to save your people putty projects in the .htr format from within people putty. Unfortunately, the current version of people putty does save them in .htr format but uses the .haptar extention instead of .htr, after saving your project, go to the folder where you saved it, change the view options to show file extentions, and change the .haptar to .htr at the end of the file name. You then need to copy your project to the Characters folder in Ultra Hal 5.0. You should then see your project as a choice under the general options of hal. If you create a .jpg of your character and name it the same name as your project, hal will use it on the splash screen during startup. Ex: sam.htr, sam.jpg I forget the size of the jpg but if you check the properties of one of hal's other characters, you'll easily find out.
Good Luck
