LoneWolf has said SFC should be releasing this month. SPC2 presumably will be not too far behind. In the meantime you could try downloading the my file from the link above to fill in. (Just select both SPC and the SPC2 settings on Character Config to get it to work). It's not perfect and there are some issues I expect should be fixed with an official release but it may serve to tide you over until we get a good version from LoneWolf... at least it's worked well enough for the games I've run with it, anyway. If you do use it and see any issues please feel free to let me know and I'll fix it up (if I can.)

No, you're right. The Super Powers Companion 2.0 will be out after the Science Fiction Companion (which is supposedly soon, though I'm starting to get a bit cynical here). You won't pay extra for them though; the package you bought already covers their costs, whenever they finally get here.

I'm a newbie to the HL thing, and I've never installed a user created file. I downloaded the file for the interim Super Powers 2.0 but I couldn't get them to work. If it's not too much trouble, how does one install it and what settings do you need to put up to use it?

1. Download the file and double click it. This should open up the Hero Lab import feature. 2. Now navigate to ProgramData/Hero Lab/data/savage. (The ProgramData folder is hidden by default, so you may have to change that setting). 3. Open the SPC2.user file in a text editor. I use Notepad++, which is free. 4. Search for "wp2MiniTor." You're looking for a block of code that looks like this: Code:
<thing id="wp2MiniTor" name="Mini Torpedo" compset="SpecWeap" uniqueness="useronce"> <fieldval field="wpDamage" value="4d10"/> <fieldval field="wpShort" value="150"/> <fieldval field="wpMedium" value="300"/> <fieldval field="wpLong" value="600"/> <fieldval field="wpShots" value="1"/> <fieldval field="wpPiercing" value="40"/> <usesource source="SPC2"/> <tag group="Weapon" tag="MedBurst" name="Medium Burst Template" abbrev="Medium Burst Template"/> <tag group="WeaponType" tag="SpecMissil"/> <tag group="Weapon" tag="HvyWeapon"/> <pickreq thing="armBDArm1"/> </thing> Code:
<pickreq thing="armBDArm1"/> 5. Open up Hero Lab again. You shouldn't get any errors. When you configure your hero, select the "Super Powers Companion 2" source. Things hsould now work. |

I'll double-check but the current version shouldn't have a problem for that line in it at all so all you should need to do is double-click the file to automatically install it then on the Configure Hero screen you need to not just select SPC2 but you must also select the original Super Powers Companion as well. If you did not purchase the original SPC then my SPC2 file simply won't work for you.

I forgot to check on this,but I've now fixed the Mini Torpedo so if you download the file from the original location again that shouldn't be a problem. Just let me know when you run into errors like that and I can get them fixed up for everyone. Although when CC's official version comes out I'll be deleting this version from availability. This one is a bit of a kludge anyway until that one gets here.

So is this the reason that I cannot make 4-color superheroes? If I install the data file zarlor has created will that allow me to create superheroes with power points for the different campaign levels?
Thanks. |
