I know it's just your own user file, but I thought I'd let you know I found that.

Odd, since the power did have the modifier selected, but it just wasn't listed with the power modifiers. Not sure what happened. I've fixed it now, though, so you should be able to either grab the new .hl file from the same spot, or if you set-up my update file it should show up in the updater for you. Thanks for the find!

There were a few powers that were implemented a bit strangely because I just have no idea how to code a better way but I also expect some of the things needed will be implemented in the official SPC2 data file anyway (indeed once the SPC2 file comes out my kludged overlay for SPC1 will go away.)

Lovin' your SPC2 file zarlor! Can I ask though, what will happen once the offical file is released? Will we need to recreate supers created with your file?

Yes.

What he said. The unofficial file has worked for me as a temporary stop-gap, but I expect a bit more functionality, like some of the new mods and things for Sci-Fi Companion, not to mention fixing some of the kludginess of several of the things I had to do such as with detection powers, that I expect will make the official SPC2 add-on worth it. Not to mention my file and updater will go away as soon as SPC2 is released, especially since I intend to switch straight to the official version myself. So while I needed what I put out for my own group to use while we were waiting for the official version I always expected that anything made with what I threw together would not be compatible with the official version when it came out. I am glad others found some use for it, though, but I am sorry to say that it will take re-entering characters when the time comes to make the switch.

Hey no problems, just so I'm prepared like.

I'll make PDF's of the character sheets and maybe get plaintext as well. I'm putting chars into Realm Works anyway, so I'll just update things as and when the official SPC2 is released. Cheers again!

Any word on when the official SPC-2 for Herolab will be released? Thanks for all your hard work.

I haven't seen any official word yet, but we have been told it is the very next data file in the works and CapedCrusader (who is authoring the file) has a few extra incentives since his own gaming group is playing an SPC2 game and want him to finish it, too.

I am hoping to see it soon (as I was hoping to use it to make characters for a Con taking place over Valentine's Weekend.) Caped Crusader-- can we get an update? Thanks a lot!

Seconding this. I'd love to hear what the progress report is, as we're gearing up for a supers game ourselves.

Same here! Will the Encounter Builder have the updated Supers from the back of the book?
