Still unhelpful since, again, you're not specifying which .user file to open in the editor in the first place since that determines which "races" are available to copy from.

Not only that, but your "solution" is inaccurate. To do what I was asking about actually requires opening the COM races .user file (see, I actually mentioned the FILE that needs to be opened, because if you don't open the right file, then the things you're talking about being so easy to find in order to copy from, AREN'T THERE TO BE COPIED FROM), then creating a copy of the Half-Elf race, making a new identifier for it, deleting Skill Versatility from it, labelling it as something like "Half-Elf Variant", and then creating a SUBRACE that links to that race, for each individual variant, with the easiest way of doing so to copy the subrace entry with the desired trait, creating a new identifier for it, a new name to go in parentheses with it, deleting all the aspects of it that don't apply, then testing to see if it pops up as a subrace option when choosing the Half Elf Variant, and if it does, compiling, then saving the data file.

All of which is a far cry from, "Just copy it, you'll see."

Also unhelpful.

You want people to contribute to a community project and create a community, then don't act elitist and if you don't know the answer to something, don't answer pretending like you do.

WOW! So you don't even try the solution but instead just complain about?

Follow his steps and you maybe will learn something about HL works.

You see New (Copy) does a copy of any Thing that is in the data base regardless of what .user file you loaded. In matter of fact its the ONLY way to get the Things that LW put in 5e.

My advice is stop assuming and listen to the advice you are being given....

No need to keep replying please team.

Let's ensure we maintain the high standard community culture that we currently have.

I acknowledge that my response was short and to the point, it had to be, i was juggling a screaming three year old on one knee and trying to stop the 8 month old from biting me in the other hand.

1. Open the editor.
2. Create new file. <- Create your own.
3. Click 'Race' tab. <- then subrace tab.
4. Click 'New (Copy) . <- srElfHigh or High Elf
5.
6. Click 'Save'

This gives you a copy of the High Elf that you can work with. You CANNOT open or work with the orginal High Elf subrace directly. It's basically hard coded.

I presume you have been workign with your own .user file and copies of the files you wanted . . . NOT the originals. If you have been modifying the original files, you will LOSE those changes when/if those files are updated.

Never, ever modify a COM_ file. Make all your changes in a personal .user file.

You create your own .user file.

<sigh> Some people just won't let you help them.

[BoomerET]

Yea, after my post I went and looked at every post of his.

We get people like that around here every so often.

I'll say a prayer for him.

@Korlen,

Point taken. You are correct, I should have been more tactful.

Now that is a very good idea.
