Custom Class Question

Yea so my guess is his new class starts with a "D" and so archetypes then get sorted down with Druid.

The problem is that new "Headers" are not auto created. At least for archetypes you can create the headers. For all other sections of HL you can NOT make new headers that work.

If you are fine with working at the XML level you can use what I did for Mythic and add in the Header following THIS post.

Uhhhhh, where exactly do I add it? I don't even know where to find what you are talking about.

Nobody wanting to tell me where you manipulate XML? Do I need to open the file in a separate editor?

Sorry never saw your question.

XML is what HL .user files actually are which is stored as plain text. So you can use any text editor to open a .user file. I prefer "TextPad" but most will work just fine.

Be sure to make a backup copy of the .user file before you do anything!!!!

You need to copy the XML from the above linked post into the .user file. You have to do this very carefully as its easy to make a mistake if you not use to working with XML. In this case go to the BOTTOM of the .user file and look for:

</document>

You want to paste just above that line and before </thing>.

Then you need to change the attributes "ID", "NAME", and "THING" to match to your new class. So lets assume your new class is called "Dude" and its Thing ID is "cHelpDud".

The XML would look like this:

<thing id="arHdDude" name="Dude" compset="ClassVary" uniqueness="unique" isshowonly="yes">
  <link linkage="varies" thing="cHelpDud"/>
  </thing>

Thank you. i have worked with XML a little. i have just never got into the .user files, so I wasn't sure where I needed to place the code. i really need to start my XML for Dummies book and free online class if I plan on doing this much more. lol
