Data File Authoring Notes

General->zCommunity->Maneuvers:

• To enter new Maneuvers you can now do this very easily in the editor by going to "General->zCommunity->Maneuvers" tab.
• Maneuvers "IL" (Initiator Level) is calculated on each Maneuver after Post-Level/20 and is stored in the field[mIL].value.
• Maneuvers "DC" is calculated on each Maneuver after Post-Attributes/20 and is stored in the field[mDC].value.

General->Configurable

• To set a new class to be allowed to take Maneuvers you need to do a New Copy against "Warlord Maneuvers" thingid.cCfgPW1. Then the only sections you should change is in the list of "Tags". You need to change ClsCountAs.cHelpPW1 to be ClsCountAs.cHelpXXX where "XXX" is the three digit id for your new class. Then each of the "Discipline.?" tags should get changed to match the disciplines your class allows.
• The tag "UseAttr.?" (aSTR,aDEX,aCON,aINT,aWIS,aCHA) tells HL which "ability" score is used to calculate the DC of maneuvers must be set on the Configurable also.

Class->Class

• You must add the special tag "PathOfWar.Class" to your class on the "Class" tab.
• Spells Known Per Level controls the Maneuvers information for a class. Array 0 = Maneuvers Known; Array 1 = Maneuvers Readied; Array 2 = Stances

Tags

• PathOfWar.HeroInit - Tells you after Final/1000 if a character is capable of Initiate Maneuvers.
• HasMan.? - Tags can be tested in pre-reqs to tell you if a character has a maneuver of a specific discipline. So in example to check for a Iron Tortoise you can use: validif (hero.tagis[HasMan.IronTort] = 1)
• HasStance.? - Tags can be tested in pre-reqs to tell you if a character has a stance of a specific discipline. So in example to check for a Iron Tortoise you can use: validif (hero.tagis[HasMan.IronTort] = 1)
