d20 Dataset Project....

[chiefweasel]

For me, the file loaded fine, didnt see any errors come up. But i cant find any of the source materials, none are being listed for me. I see an option for User Content, but it is greyed out and i cant select it.

When i select Configure Hero after the inital set up, i get the same options.

Under 'User Content' you should see 3.0 D&D books, 3.5 D&D books, Dragonlance Setting Books, Forgotten Realms Setting Books, and then a list of books under each of those categories. Did you clean out your directory first?

chiefweasel check in the game folder HeroLab\data\d20 or what ever your test folder name was to make sure that it contains .user files after you imported the .hl.

When you did the import did you change the install folder to go to your TEST folder? Otherwise it went to the default d20 folder as that is what it is compiled against.

Check those out and let me know because if the .user files are not giving errors you should see the new books(ie Sources)...

Yes, i see the problem, it went to the default D20 folder instead of the D20_Test fold i set up. a bit tricky and easy to miss. The import was successful, but i gess it was for the default d20 folder as well, and i can see all the source books in the Hero Config panel.

I started to make a character and everything seems good, but i will need to do some more testing.

As for the process working it seems to work fine, there might be fixes required for the information in the system, but the process works. Thanks.

Yea. I think what I will do is a create a simple PDF document that shows how to setup the Secondary Update URL and how to do the import. In that I can put a few screen shots with areas highlighted. We can attach pdf documents to posts so when we do the initial post about this to the community we can attach that document.

Its often way easier to follow a few pictures than reading a long post. Plus I can add a small section at the end that talks about how to have the import load to a different directory.

Speaking of this did your Googlefu ever find any video software to do this Cheifweasel? To be honest I have not had time to look, but this would also make for a quick easy video.

Has anyone every uploaded to YouTube before as was just thinking that could be a good place to put these things maybe.

I have version 1.0 of the Complete Psionics Powers list done. It includes all Psion/Wilder (Discipline) and Psychic Warrior powers. Lurk and mantle powers to be added later. Is there a proper way to deliver this? I can email it to someone or just attach here. How should we do this?

[ShadowChemosh]

Go ahead and send the .user file to me at shadowchemosh(at)yahoo(dot)com.

I will do a quick QA on it and if all ok then I will send off to Lawful_G and can add it into the .hl file so we have that also for v1.0a release to the community.

Thanks.

I made a few adjustments to the Source stuff in the file, but otherwise great job. I created a new 1.0a data set and uploaded it to my server. So that is now available through the Secondary Update URL.

Cheifweasel is away this weekend. So going to try and finish that help document and then hopefully we can release this set to the community this week sometime.

This is working for me as well.
