Posting Custom Settings Data files

[booga]

Hi,

I noticed a lot of people are working on custom data files, which is great. However I am wondering why those files are not posted in the threads, even for beta versions. I guess it would allow more users to test it and report bugs, helping improving them. As long as Lone Wolf does not sell a data file for those settings, I guess it would not cause conflicts of interests either.

I come from the Maptool community, where custom content is freely shared and it gives nice community feel, and increases support for the original product (more support = more sales in the case of a paying product).

Let me know what your take on this is. Thanks !

first we need a place to host them. I'd love to post them in here. Let me do some checking and see where other people here host their custom made files.

Legality...I don't know anything about that, so the powers that be here would need to speak up on that topic.

EDIT: I just dropped a line to Chief Weasel to see if he would host them on cheeseweasel.net

ChiefWeasel is all up for that. If anyone has completed datafiles, contact him directly at chiefweasel@cheeseweasel.net. I'm still working on some bugs in the Sundered Skies files.

A place to post them is not a problem. I own roleplayer.net and could post them there. It's the whole legality thing that concerns me.

Same, I don't want to post the Realms of Cthulhu files until there is some sort of agreement with the publisher. I'm assuming that Hero Labs deals with that themselves, correct?

Please hold off on doing this. We met with Pinnacle at GenCon and mapped out a whole bunch of good stuff that should seriously boost Savage Worlds support within Hero Lab. Now we need to get things signed, which should take us a couple weeks to finalize. Once that's done, we'll be working stuff out with various 3PPs regarding their works.

Until we get all these pieces into place, posting stuff publicly anywhere could become problematic. Sharing stuff privately ought to be fine, since it's just fans sharing directly with fans.

Thanks in advance for everyone's patience while we get all the i's dotted and t's crossed.

Cool,

I'm glad things are moving in this direction. Thanks to you all for answering my initial request !

[tatteredking]

no problem rob. Thanks for the good word! Let us know when we can post them.
