I have my own role-playing system that I have created. How hard would it be to create a data file from scratch if say the system were about as complicated as making a character for the D20 system. I have never played D20, but have made characters for neverwinter nights--so I am using that as my base line.
What I would like to know is can Hero Lab allow new data files to be created from complete scratch. Thanks, Michael |

Not yet. From what I've read on the boards, the developer's kit is not coming out for a while.

The Dev Kit is, from what I understand, essentially going to be a combination of extensive documentation and shortcuts. The people at Lone Wolf already know (or are figuring out) how to do all the things we're demanding, but explaining it in a way that is comprehensible for amateur non-programmers is apparently a considerable challenge.
If they can come up with something easier to utilize than what the other companies have out there, I'll be happy. |

Any ideas on when the Dev Kit will be out for public use?

Our philosophy is that we can do this one of two ways. Option #1 is to release the Kit now and have the process be much more complex than it needs to be, which we believe will frustrate a good number of folks who would like to write data files. Option #2 is to wait until the Kit is mature enough to make things substantially easier on the user and make it accessible to a larger number of prospective authors. We're going with Option #2. |
