You make $700 a DAY?????.Wow!
That is a lot of hours to put in and I wasn't trying to belittle you for not taking the job. I was more trying to stress the point that as powerful as this engine is it still requires crazy commitment and considerable experience to make it useable. I was thinking that if Lone Wolf put staff scripters on projects like other RPG systems it would 1 make Hero labs more attractive and 2 bring more revenue. However if it costs $700 a day to hire someone for the job, well that's not very likely to be profitable and the only solution to making the authoring kit viable is to make it more user friendly. How many homebrew systems have been released using the kit since release?

I'm a high level it person working on government contracts so that is why I get paid what I do... expect those in the gaming industry to get considerably less, which is why work on here is relegated to hobby for me

I will have more of an idea what I'm doing with the system next week as I tackle equipment. Once that is done I believe most of the basic information will be there.

Advancement will have some issues (as it is a secondary character system) but it should be straight forward.

It is possible to take the savage setting and convert it over to another RPG system, as this is what I'm doing.

Start a new system based on savage and I can try and walk you through some of the changes you need to make.

By the end of it you should be fairly competent with using XML, some basic scripting (mostly copy and paste) and how to ask questions on the forums for help in taking the next step.

The HL support guys are great, as are the forum community.

As I have done all my work using TextPad (free text editor) I recommend you pick this up and install it on your computer as a starting point.

Also you could install my star wars one and use that as a base as well as it is a skills based system from the start.
