I've written this down on my to-do list so I don't forget it again. Thanks for bumping the issue.

Wouldn't this be as simple as making a second copy of the various qualities and where appropriate using the same scripts or settings that Biocompatibility has now to make sure that once you took one of them in one place that all the rest were invalid?

It's a lot simpler to write prereqs on other things, for example, "Magic Resistance Forbidden" if the copy of Magic Resistance on the positive qualities table is the same thing as the copy of Magic resistance on the positive metagenetic qualities table.

Creating duplicates will be plan B if I can't get plan A to work.

I'm not sure if this is a bug, a design oversight, or what, but:

Weapon Mounts are a [Standard] modification, and threfore should not be allowed on a Minidrone or a Microdrone. Doing so should produce a Validation Error. Several other vehicle modifications are correctly tagged as "not available for microdrones or minidrones.

However, whatever flag is set to do that for other modifications, appears to be missing from Weapon Mounts.

"Oopsie" ...?

Bows are listed in the SR4A corebook state that the maximum Strength rating for a bow is 12 - yet HeroLab appears to cap it at 8.

Here is the description from the book on page 315-316

Bows have minimum Strength ratings that indicate the minimum Strength a character must have to use that weapon. When attacking with a bow, a character whose Strength is less than the Strength minimum suffers a –2 dice pool modifier per point below the minimum; this penalty reflects the difficulty they have in pulling the bow and nocking an arrow. The weapon’s minimum Strength rating is also used to determine the weapon’s range and damage. Material science limits high-tech bows to a maximum Strength rating of 12. The maximum Damage Value an arrow fired from the bow can inflict is equal to the bow’s rating x1.5.

Also, HeroLab appears to add 2 avalability per rating of Minimum Strength, though there doesn't appear to be any mention of that in the core book or Arsonal. Both list both Bows and Collapsible Bows as having a flat/fixed avalablilty of 2 and 4-Restricted respectively.

SR4A 315 lists the availability for a bow as Rating x 2 in the table on page 315.
And the rating max for a box on page 316 is 8.

This is the current Errata document also capping all bows at strength 8.

move-by-wire doesnt seem to be adding the +1 dodge bonus to defense pools displayed on the char sheet. i thought it was doing it but not sure will check other chars later to see.

Found an issue with military grade armor. It is using body x2 for encumbrance instead of body x3. Also helmets for full body type armors are listed as having an availability equal to the armor while in their respective books it does not have an availability listed, only an increase in price.

bludragon, is this post from the 2.6 bug reports thread relevant to your move-by-wire issue?

Does your character have any augmentation armor or natural armor? There's a bug (already fixed for the next update) that's currently counting those as armor pieces without the x3 encumbrance tag - meaning HL thinks your character is wearing some pieces that have been modified to grant you x3 encumbrance and xome pieces that have not.

For the Helmets, since HL allows you to purchase them separately from their parent armor, they need an availability of their own for Hero Lab's purposes. Otherwise, a starting character'd be allowed to purchase military helmets, but helmets are only supposed to be available with their armor, so you're supposed to have passed the availability check for the armor before you can buy the helmet with it.

lol Nevermind im a idiot. i figured it out. i was looking at the char sheet and didnt notice that the move by wire bonus was already added into the dodge skill. its working correctly.
