(Drop Dead Studios) Spheres of Power: Official Support Thread

[TheIronGolem]

Minor update for the Shapeshifter's Handbook was posted last night. I had to remove some auto-adds from the Lycanthrope Hunter's Kit because I hadn't realized they were creating additional book dependencies.

[EldritchWeaver]

Are maybe the Permanent Adjustments for magic talents broken since the big update?

[TheIronGolem]

I've had a couple of reports about that, yes.

EDIT: It is now fixed in my current build.

I've got a portfolio from one of my players, but when I load it, I get this error message:

"Linkage pick 'sopPTalen2' not located for current context
Location: 'eval' script for Thing 'sopTlLfRSn' (Eval Script '#2') near line 5
- - -
Linkage pick 'sopPTalen2' not located for current context
Location: 'eval' script for Thing 'sopTlLfRSn' (Eval Script '#2') near line 5"

What does it tell me?

It tells you that I'm still not done with my Exterminatus on the usage of linkages.

For a quick fix, open the Restore Senses talent in the editor; the file is "DDS_SpheresOfPower - Spheres.user". Set the "2nd modified talent" to Cure, compile and reload.

I'll have a proper fix in the next release, which will come out right before the Enhancer's Handbook.

[EldritchWeaver]

Any reason, why I should use second modified talent, if the first one isn't used?

Just because that's what the code refers to and therefore it's the quickest way to fix it. But for what it's worth, here's the revised code I'll be including in the next update:

hero.childfound[sopTlLfCur].field[CustDesc].text &= "{br}{br}{b}" & field[thingname].text & ":{/b} Restore lost senses to the target, including special senses like Blindsight or Tremorsense"

Since that explicitly refers to the Cure talent's ID, it doesn't use a linkage.

[TheIronGolem]

Version 1.23 for core has been posted. Patch notes here, but the fun part is this: Enhancement users with the Animate Objects talent can now add Animated Object minions through the Enhancement tab. When the Enhancer's Handbook comes out (which will be soon as I'm giving it to DDS today), those minions will automatically receive the benefits of the various feats and such that apply upgrades to Animated Objects.

Bugfix updates were also posted for Expanded Options and the Destroyer's Handbook to address some of the bugs brought up in this thread.

[TheIronGolem]

Enhancer's Handbook is now available!

There isn't a PDF/HL bundle just yet (some technical difficulty I'm told), but I will update the FAQ page when it arrives.


Update: here it is!

Getting some errors that I haven't been able to get past:

The data files could not be loaded due to errors. Hero Lab will now attempt to load them in recovery mode. Once loaded, you can access the editor as normal to correct any errors.

Any ideas? This is a fresh install of all the latest version of all the Spheres of Power files. Have updated source.
