Adding Custom Content

[raventower]

Been trying to add 3rd Party Class,treats,feats,etc. to hero lab (would buy it outright if it was available in HL)

Getting this error with the class now:
Pic 'cCovMed' has been orphaned due to missing thing in batch '711'
Menu-selection 'cCovMed' on pick 'Totals'no longer exists within data files

I also added a condition as it seem the easiest way to add the drawback I had which only happens when I dont have a bound spirit/constellation for 24 hrs. I take -4 to skill checks,attacks, and saving throws. It showed up twice. I copied the script from the sickened condition and modified it. Here is the script :

~ If we're in output mode, don't do anything
doneif (state.isoutput <> 0)

~ If we're not enabled and haven't been activated externally, get out now
if (field[pIsOn].value = 0) then
doneif (hero.tagis[Condition.pcnODC2] = 0)
endif

~ -4 Attack
hero.child[Attack].field[Penalty].value -= 4

~ -4 to all saves
hero.child[svAll].field[Penalty].value -= 4

~ -4 Skill Checks
hero.child[AllSkills].field[Penalty].value -= 4


Also is there any good resources in learning how to add this content?

What is cCovMed? What was selecting it and why?

My guess is you created a character (.por) file you have been saving as you been building this new class. That is a bad idea and does not work well.

So is the above happening on a "FRESH" new character or one you have saved in a .por file?

FAQ#2 has all the places to learn about the editor including videos!

What 3PP are you adding? Have you checked that the 3PP does not sell the HL stuff on their website or that the Community has not already created it?

Ya I was updating the class and character at the same time. Makes sense that it wont work. Trying to add Covenant Magic and Pact Magic stuff from 3PP. I havent seen anything about hero lab support for that. The mechanics are tough so I dont know if its worth trying to add it.

Also building a plain witch. How does the in play casting work. Ex. I went to spells, hit the arrow to select 1 for mage armor but my AC didnt change. Is it supposed to work that way? Is there no way to select that my AC was increased by the spell for a certain duration?

Thanks

Also im using the Scarred Witch Doctor Archetype on a non-orc race. Is there a way to clear the errors that come up?
