Weapon Editor Issue

[Culhwch]

When making a new weapon and setting that weapon easy for certain races (the "Easy if Race..." button), it's working fine for existing tags (Elf, Dwarf, etc.), but if I make a new tag (Raptoran, Catfolk, etc.), the weapon is not being made available for that race when I go to choose the weapon.

Thanks.

That's a known issue with the current weapon stuff. Sorry for not making
that clear - it only works with the 'standard' races right now. I'll add
a note to that effect.

Oops...sorry. Probably something I missed in the documentation.

Any updates on this feature? The easy race feature still only seems to work for standard races.

I came up with a simple script that works for the Thri-kreen's weapon familiarity / Gythka:

if (hero.tagis[Hero.ProfMart] <> 0) then
var result as number
result = hero.assign[WepProf.wGythka]
endif

This code is an eval script on a Race Special that is bootstrapped to the race.

Unfortunately it's not. We've been really focused on getting more games
into Hero Lab, as well as doing badly-needed updates to our web site,
and there just aren't enough hours in the day.

Nice! That's a great work-around.
