Spellbook Print Preview Blank
Hey guys, I'm working on a parts file for a custom class/archetype I'm developing called the Studied Summoner. It's basically the Summoner that dumps the Eidolon and focuses on using the Spell-Like Ability Summon Monster ability.
I've got everything working the way I want except the spellbook (Renamed to a Grimoire for the Studied Summoner). Basically everything in the Herolab application is working fine for the Spellbook, but when I go to Print Preview, and use the Spellbook Full Descriptions or Spellbook Summaries, it shows completely blank with nothing to print. Obviously I'm missing a configuration somewhere, but I have no idea where I'm missing it. Here's a link to the custom parts file that I've developed. Any help or guidance is greatly appreciated. |
I'm sorry, but at this time, the list of classes whose spellbooks will show up on that sheet is hard-coded, and cannot be expanded by users.
|
I seem to recall I helped a fellow make his own dossier for his spellbook casting class. Let me see if I can hunt that thread down.
|
So is it only coded for the Print Preview functionality, and if you actually printed it to like PDF or really printed it, would it work?
|
Welp, answered my own question. Neither works. Okay, so do I have any options for making this work, or am I SOL?
|
I was unable to find the previous time, but reproducing things wasn't that hard. Create a new .user file, open it up in a text editor, and paste in this between the "document signature" and "/document" elements.
Code:
<portal For example, if you wanted to add a class called "Taxman" with a Classes tag of "Classes.Taxman" and a unique ID of the class helper of "cHelpTax", you would change this: Code:
((hero#Classes.StuSu_v1 & Spellbook.cHelpMMT) | Spellbook.PrayerBook | Spellbook.MeditaBook) Code:
((hero#Classes.Taxman & Spellbook.cHelpTax) | (hero#Classes.StuSu_v1 & Spellbook.cHelpMMT) | Spellbook.PrayerBook | Spellbook.MeditaBook) |
Hey Aaron, thanks so much, looks like that fixed it. Rather than work with the Print Preview, looks like it creates a new category of "Spells in Spellbook (Custom Class) - Full Descriptions" that works like a charm.
One minor additional question I had, if you have time. If you look at my file, all the "Tags" have been generated by all the modifications I made, but I haven't gone in and actually assigned any Names or Abbreviations to those Tags. Does that matter at all? It doesn't seem to affect any of the functionality (thus far) for the file itself. |

The only reason the names or abbreviations of a tag are important is if you plan to refer to them with "tagnames" or "tagabbrevs" functions, as in building some text from them. I don't think it will matter for most user's purposes, and many tags that are generated as identity tags automatically have their names set to the thing which creates them.
For example, Spellbook tags are identity tags which are generated by all class helpers. As soon as you create a new class helper for your Taxman class (unique ID cHelpTax) then it automatically creates the Spellbook.cHelpTax tag, which has the tag name attribute default to "Taxman". Sooo... probably not something you need to worry about. |
Thanks everyone, I think this has all worked out wonderfully and I appreciate everyone's help. Look forward to seeing the Studied Summoner in the upcoming adventure, Murder at Myrefall. We'll likely be adding the Herolab file to the DriveThruRPG Zip for use (As an NPC in the module will be a Studied Summoner).
