Castles and Crusades
I've just bought Herolab after playing around with it for a few weeks. My major RPG focus at the moment is Castles and Crusades which doesn't have too many rules and was wondering if anyone else is working on this for Herolab?
|
I started to at the beginning of the year b ut got bogged down with things in the real world, (Damn!). LOL But plan on starting up with it again after Rock-Con next month.
|
Is this project still working? I'd love to get C&C for HL.
|
Yes, I believe my project still works, take a look at my sig.

Is there a reason that I cant EDIT any of the files? It tells me that the program may become unstable, I try to edit, and it wont save.

Lee,
If you want to take over maintenance, I'll gladly keep the update mechanism alive with your updates, or you can take complete control, and you can implement it. BoomerET |

They will be slow in coming but... I'll update the gear/armor/weapons/spells, etc.... If you can host. Lee |
Lee,
I'll continue hosting, no problem. Glad to help C&C. |
I may be able to host the file... I created a Yahoo Group and am able to host it there. But please keep your file available.
|
BoomerET, what have you NOT done with the C&C core files? What else needs to be done to make it complete?
|
I'm unable to answer that, as I haven't looked at the code/plugin in probably close to a year.

Ok, I cant find the file that you put the Helms in, what file is it?
I have opened every file in: C:\ProgramData\Hero Lab\data\candc Where all the other files I have edited for equipment, weapons etc reside, but there is no file for the Helms that I can find. |
C:\ProgramData\Hero Lab\data\candc\thing_helm.dat
If you don't have that file, it's possible that I never uploaded my most current working copy of the plugin, which I think was 0.64 |
I have the file, BUT... all the tabs are empty.
Funny thing is, when I open HL and C&C, I can see the Helms, but I cant see where to edit them. FUNNY! I can find: Bacinet, and in the description it says: Defense: +4 Cost: 15 gp Weight: 7lbs each Helm So it is someplace. |
Well unless editor tabs were created, you'd probably need to create them in RAW XML

Here is a pic.
If it exists in here, someone had to enter it somewhere. |
Right, he probably just entered it as XML. A lot of data file authors don't worry about editor tabs until later in the process.
|
Would it be in the same directory:
C:\ProgramData\Hero Lab\data\candc If so, there is no XML file there. |
every structural and user file for Hero Lab is XML, open at str, core, dat, user, 1st, aug, etc in a text editor.
You might want to do some reading of the Wiki if you're taking over development of something. There is also a tutorial that you can run through that teaches a lot. |
Ahhh, I know where the problem is.
You're trying to use the editor. I didn't incorporate much (if anything) to allow using the editor. BoomerET |

Ok, I just grabbed a free XML Editor, and am able to edit the file now. Thank you! |
If you want to add functionality to be able to add helms using the editor, then you'll need to modify editor.dat
BoomerET |
And remember that you can't edit .dat files in the editor

Sorry, I am not a programmer, I was just hoping to add all the equipment, armor, weapons etc... I was not expecting all this. :) |
LeeSmith,
What books are you looking at adding items for. I'll work with you to see that you can use the editor to enter stuff, and also make it display in the GUI. First off, I'll get a Helms tab working for you. BoomerET |
Ok, I think I got Helms added to the editor.
I've bumped the version up to 1.0 Yay! BoomerET |

Castles_&_Crusades_Arms_and_Armor Magic items Other spell books that can be found. etc... and thank you for adding the "tabs" so I can easily add stuff in.... :) Lee |
BoomerET,
I know I am asking a lot, especially since you stopped working on this project... But... Could you add the following to the Personal Tab: Deity and Alignment for Deity Place of Origin And a place to print out on the Char Sheet I would really appreciate it if you could. Lee |
As I mentioned in the other thread, I no longer play C&C, and since none of the games I play are supported by Hero Lab, I've pretty much ceased using it at all, except occasionally to keep it updated in the hopes they may support games that I play.
Since all the code that I've written is included in the plugin, anyone can take from where I left off, though admittedly, there are extremely few people that are willing to put in the time and effort necessary. I'll gladly point somebody in the right direction, should they wish to carry on. I'll continue to monitor these boards. BoomerET |
Ok, I completely understand. Can you fix the update link? It is not working.
See my error above. Lee |
Found a typo in the import file, can you please try again.
