If the user community is will we can create multiple templates and offer them to everyone. It would make it easier for folks.

The character sheet output is a bit of a disappointment as it neglects many things such as names of custom items still including enhancement stuff spamming to the end of the name block yet those enhancement bonus items are not reflected in the weapons stats such as a longsword with flaming/frost should be 1d8+x + 1d6, the problem is the extra damage dice items are not showing up.
eg.: from the .por file, does HL not even track some enchantments? +3 Keen Frost Rapier +18/+13 (1d6+11/15-20/x2) where is the 1d6 frost damage? |

The only thing that would be nice is to see which In-Play features are active and which "Adjustments" are active when the sheet was printed. Make it easier to ID which sheet his which and for un-trusting DM's to know what adjustments the character sheet had at the time of printing.

On a related note - would someone be willing to write up advice or a tutorial to assist us those of us who would like to learn to create them for ourselves? I'm slightly upset by this, however. I know next to nothing about editing XML or creating XSLT files other than what little editing I can do in Excel for XML. I don't have the time to map out a sheet in Excel - if I did I'd simply create my own custom database. HeroLab has been great to use and I love the authoring feature( though I don't use it much anymore except to add custom wondrous items or gear and such) but the printed output has left me flat. It's even more of a disappointment to finally have a customizable feature only to have to use an entirely different program to edit it and print something that's actually usable. Why was the printed output feature neglected so much when you've done so well with every other feature? This has been an ongoing complaint since the beginning of HeroLab and it saddens me.

What saddens me is that the upgrade invalidated my license, and now I have to wait for "early license reassignment".

At first, this will be frustrating, since you want something *now*. However, after a little while, a number of users will put together some custom sheets and share them. Once that occurs, you'll be able to use those sheets or tailor one you like to your own purposes. |

I've had my copy of the program since 2007. I was lucky enough to get a free license from an RPG giveaway and have simply kept upgrading. However, I actually walked away from using HeroLab because of the output issue, even after I spent money upgrading to get all the Pathfinder datasets. I've been waiting for years, silently reading threads commenting on this, and sometimes responding. All this time we've been told something along the lines of "We're working on this", but now all we get is something we can't even manipulate in the program. At least your dataset editor is part of the program and is easier to use. For me, this is useless and, frankly, is a deal-breaker. I'm extremely disappointed. |

As far as I can tell, I need my license unlocked. I'm leery to upgrade on my laptop, as then I'd have zero working copies. Last edited by Adam.Ormond; June 6th, 2011 at 03:02 AM. |
