Useful Coding Examples

To pull tags from one thing and apply them to another. Example: Oracle Domain Class Special, Complete Divine

To increase the number of Secondary Spells. Example: Oracle Domain Class Special, Complete Divine

To pull an unknown number of tags, assign them to a string, then replace part of the tagid. Example: Oracle Domain Class Special, Complete Divine

To apply the above string to a list of available spells. Example: Domain Class Special, Players Guide to Faerun

The reason the code is what it is, is because the pincer is set up to automatically have a primary attack and this is the trick they are doing to make sure the attack values are being applied correctly (in case they are secondary and also if they are part of multiattack). So, if a creature is set up to so that they are secondary attacks, they should get the correct attack values applied (in other words, you end up removing the Helper.NatPrimary tag). In this regard, you are right Sendric, it should be looking for Helper.NatPrimary <> 0 (is there even an NatSecondary, it compiles, so there must be), since the software is only interested if that is there, otherwise it automatically assumes a secondary attack (the NatSecondary helper is not applied, so it always returns true and then always runs the resulting script).

You can run this script much easier by looking for the condition that imposes a secondary attack on the pincer, and then just deleting the Helper.NatPrimary tag from the pincer attack. This will automatically fix the attack values and damage without having to script it. I just don't know why the glabrezu would need to make its pincer attack secondary, so the script would only be needed for that. Any clue why this code is here?

What confuses me more is that the pincer weapon includes both the NatSecondary and NatPrimary attacks already. The glabrezu doesn't add any tags of its own except a user tag to determine damage and a value tag (2). It's kinda weird how its set up. Unfortunately, I have to go, so I can't delve into this any further today.

If both NatSecondary and NatPrimary are present, NatSecondary is ignored in favor of NatPrimary.

Yes, I would think so. However, the tag still exists which means that the following statement will always come up false.

I'm gonna play around with this some today and see what needs to be done to simplify the situation. I don't think there are many creatures that use this weapon, but there are other weapons that appear to be in a similar situation.

Update: I took care of the Pincer problem, but taking a peak at the effort that would be involved in making wholesale changes, I have decided not to pursue that at this time. It seems likely that most of the creatures have correct attack and damage anyway, so at this point I would prefer to leave well enough alone unless and until someone reports an error.

Just to help, attached in this post is a working version of Enlightened Fist - Complete Arcane.

You can add it to the data sets if you like.

http://forums.wolflair.com/showthread.php?t=16999

I also have working versions of Complete Warrior - Kensai, Complete Warrior - Bladesinger, Heroes of Battle - Combat Medic, if you want.

Awesome. All of those would be very helpful. I'll add Enlightened Fist now, and whenever you want to send along the others would be great. I'll message you my email address.

Any hope of getting Holy Scourge from Complete Mage?

Added to the requests.

Hi Sendric,

i have sent you the debugged version of my files... :P

I can work on this request:

Will check which class are missing and fill you them as soon as they're finished.

Got them and added to the 1.8 dropbox release. Thank you!

Incidentally, I changed the name of one of the files to reduce confusion (UA - Transmuter Wizard Variant).

Added your name to the list. Thanks again. It makes a huge difference to have others contributing.

Does this mean there is someplace where I can download the files and put them into Hero Lab or should I wait for a release and Hero Lab to tell me there is an update waiting?

Wait for the release! The Dropbox is for content contributers not for general use.

Unless you want to start adding your own custom content to be incorporated into the HL community files.

If so PM shadow or make a request here to be allowed access to the folders!

Hope that helps!

I am eagerly awaiting the next update.

I do not know how to create custom content though I am not against learning. I did work in the IT field as a programmer/unix script writer but that was a number of years ago.

Right now I do not have a whole lot of time as I am attending full time graduate school as well as other things but if there is a need and there is someway I can learn how to do it I am not against taking on some little bit to help out.

I have basically no programming background. I've tinkered with html, and took a couple courses back in college (though to be honest, I remember basically nothing from those courses). Mostly, I would recommend watching the videos up on youtube that Shadow put together, and just looking at other scripts to see how they work.

Ok. I have completed the Factotum, or at least the first version of it. The most time consuming part was Cunning Brilliance, for which I am going to open a new thread to allow for discussion to limit clutter in this space. See this thread here. If you wish to beta test this class before the next release is made, send me a private message with your email address and I will send you the file.

Bumping this thread and setting a reminder for myself to check out the community bug report.

Races of Destiny complete, trimming some minor things and ready to publish.

Awesome! Excellent work, skaven. Looks like we'll be ready for a new release soon.

Mind if I ask the definition of "soon"?

Unfortunately, the definition of soon is rather loose. I'll see if I can get the ball rolling on this, though.

At this point, I would define "soon" as sometime during the month of August. I will start putting the release together, however, its my first time doing so and I don't want to screw it up. In addition, I am taking a vacation for the next couple of weeks, and my access to Hero Lab will be limited. In short, hopefully the next release will be available by the end of the month.

:rolleyes: ? :rolleyes:

1.8 is now locked. Preparing the release now. Should be available by the end of the week.

I have to say that I think it's awesome that this project is still going and getting help.

I've had a request for awhile (at least a year) that I never quite got, specifically the Focused Specialist variant class from Complete Mage. I tried to do it myself, but could never A) Make it a variant class, always had to make it as a custom class. B) Kept running into issues where the Specialized School and Forbidden Schools wouldnt appear. C) One quirk of the class is that you get less normal spells per level, so instead of one level 1 spell at first level, you get zero...but you would still get bonus spells based on intelligence modifier as if you did have a spell in the first place. Every time I lowered the initial one to zero, the bonus spells quit getting added.

Any help in finishing this one class variant would be extremly helpful. Every other DnD character I've ever made I've managed to get into HeroLab except for this one.

Added to the requests. I'll see what I can do. I haven't personally done much in the variant classes world, but I'm always up for new things.

Updated some stuff on the first page. Anyone who does their own editing should take a quick look.

Finished cleaning up the Bard spell list. Also found an issue where none of the Frostburn spells had summary text. Fixed that as well. I think the duplicate spells are mostly coming from Complete Arcane, but I will try to be thorough as I go through the various spell lists.

In going through the various spell lists, I came across the inclusion of Staffs and Spells from Complete Mage in a Complete Divine file. I have created two new Complete Mage spells and am removing the previously existing ones to alleviate this. Everything I've done is noted in the first post of this thread.

I am also adding an additional file known as "Custom - Core Bug Fixes". This allows me to hide a spell I was otherwise unable to hide. I will also be using it to fix a few minor bugs in the core system until an official release is put out.

Beastmast from Complete Adventurer?
 

I thought the Complete Adventurer was already done but I cannot find the Beastmaster class listed. I do see the Bloodhound class am I just missing it or is it not added yet?

Does anyone know if the prestige classes from frostburn and sandstorm are in there? I cant seem to find any. Im wondering if just the spells were done.

Beastmaster hasn't been done. Not everything from CA has been put in. I plan to compile a list of things from each of the Complete books (and a few others) that are completed and what still needs to be done in the new year.

The Frost Mage from Frostburn has been added, but that's the only prestige class from either book currently in the community set.

Ahh ok, i was hoping the "cloud anchorite" had.

Nope, but I will add it to the list of requests.

Is anyone working on the races from the Eberron campaign setting for D&D 3.5? The only suggestions I've seen on adding them myself seem to be targeted at Pathfinder.

Added a new request that was sent via email to shadow. If anyone has a request or question regarding the d20 community set, they can email me at my username here at gmail.
