So yes the main goal of this project is to have an easier and complete d20 data set for the community and show off all the GREAT work that Lawful_g has done. So no fear I have no plans to keep this for myself. Heck I have little need for this myself actually as my games are all Pathfinder now.

I haven't been working on my data files much in the last few weeks. Do you remember the date I sent you that batch, I could check to see if I have changed much. Current project is the Draconomicon feats, which will entail replacing the Dragon Disciple's and Half dragon's breath weapon to forward a user tag for pre req purposes. Also have to mod the dragon races I made to do the same.
C stands for Completed (or near enough), U stands for Uncompleted (needs more work), NM stands for Not Mine (a file I have not changed significantly). I think the 1.X type is fine, though I am curious about how multiple people will collaborate on making files and updating. You mentioned a website or tool but I can't recall the name. |

Another idea was I could host an FTP server that different people could access and use some type of check in /check out process from it. I had recently found a new software that is free called DropBox. It allows people to actually collaborate by having a central shared folder that auto syncs it self to each persons computer. Now it mentions that if I changed a document and you changed the same document that it would merge them back together. I would want to see that in action to see if it was useful or not. So if we went this route we would each get a free account at DropBox. Install this little software and share a single folder to all our IDs. Then I would drop in all the d20 files when I am done and the software would simply sync a copy to a folder on each of your computers. Then if I changed a file it would be updated back to everyone else and vise versa. This is just an idea is all. If someone has a simpler method I am all ears. Maybe just emailing changed stuff to Lawful_G to correctly incorporate into the date set? Personally I won't be do much new stuff in d20 actually. My group is moving towards 100% pathfinder and that is where I need to focus on when this is done. So while I have the Healer 99% done I doubt I will have many other additions actually. Plus once done with the d20 I want to move on to the pathfinder files and do something similar.

So I am getting allot done. I was able to create a Regular Expression that does a pretty good job of putting in Sources with about a 90% accuracy. So that is helping speed things along. Takes some time to figure out the Dragonlanc book as I am not familiar with them but in this case Google is my friend.
With the different books showing up in the sources section of the Configure Your Hero it really shows how many books Lawful_g has actually done. I mean wow!

Don't have much progress to report right now. Been swamped at work and had to DM over the weekend so have not gotten anything done in days now.

So will see what I can finish but I am still thinking two weeks to finish this up. Then we will need to have a few people test this data set to make sure I didn't miss anything. Then we can go ahead and release this bad boy to the community. Should make allot of people happy as there is allot of good stuff done in here from Lawful_g and it will be easier for everyone to see that when they see the Books actually listed in the Configure Your Hero window.

So I finally finished all the changes last night. I have all the .user files marked up with a their book Sources. I have also created a new hl import file and wrote a xml file for my website. I have the import file loaded to my site just for now for testing. So looking for those Testers now to try this out and see if they find any issues.
Some things to keep in mind. If you already have Lawful_g .user files or files from Cheifweasel's site in your d20 data folder they will need to be removed. This is VERY important those files MUST be removed. If you don't they will cause duplicate Thing errors. This is only required for this first install ALL future installs will take care of this problem by overlaying the files with new versions. So this only has to be done this one time. If you are just downloading the Hero Lab d20 data set for the first time you will NOT need to do this step. Steps to get this to work:
Please post any issues or questions to this thread.

In your case when you do the import their is a button to change the folder location you are going into. So instead of going to d20 you can put it into say d20TEST or what ever you call your test environment folder. The folder name must exist in the herolab\data location. I don't have any access right now to the .user files but when we get this finished I can send them in a zip file to Lawful_g so he can start work then on v1.1 by incorporating his latest changes into the data set. You can also follow this LINK to download the .hl file manually. Though then you will have to double click on it to have it start HL and start the import then.
