I don't get how that would work. If I copy out the sheet_standard1.dat and sheet_standard2.dat files up to the data/savage directory level, then rename them to, say, sheet_mine1.dat and sheet_mine2.dat, then replace all of the oHero and o* stuff that gives me duplication errors, as well as the standard1 and standard2 references with mine1 and mine2 I still don't see anything show up in the print options for some different kind of character sheets, just the standard one. What am I missing?
