Community Files: Filling the Gaps

Hi Team,

This post is to let you know that a team of us are working in the background to replace all the content that is missing in the SRD.

How much work has been completed?
Most of the work is now complete. We are cleaning up the files in preparation for release.

BACKGROUNDS
100% entered and usable in-app.

DEITIES
85 new deities added (FR, GH, DL, Eb, Non-Human)

FEATS
See HERE for status of feats.
If you know how to script and can help fill these gaps please reach out to me.

MONSTERS
Effort on hold pending next update from Lone Wolf.

RACES
100% of race options added and working in-app.

SUBCLASS OPTIONS
100% of class options added and working in-app.

SPELLS
100% of spells added and working in-app.​

Where can i get the files?
We have not released any of these to the public yet because we have created content that is like for like with the PHB and therefore would be breaching on the T&C that WOTC have in place.

When will you release the files?
As soon as they are ready. We are trying to have all functionality working prior to release. This means we need to sort out the remaining feats.

What can I do?
I know how to script!
We are looking for help filling the outstanding FEATS.

I have no idea how to script...
Please await release.

Thanks for the awesome application and being an amazing team.

Can you send me the files, i need them for my game...
No. Sorry. We would love to but until we are ready to release them publicly we won't be making them available. And before you say 'but'. There are legal issues here and we won't be budging on this position.​

Awesome news. When something like this is publicly available, it will give me the justification needed to purchase the D&D 5e Hero Lab module. Thanks for your efforts to help the community.
 
Ok, just to get this straight, the community files being worked on by those who can code are radioactive and as such will not be released? Then what was the point of doing them?

I admit, I am confused. I am lost as to what DMSGUILD has to do with anything.

Sorry for being so dense.

Help this old man understand, please.

The files we are creating currently are using names and text from the PHB. These cannot be released. We are doing this first because we need to get the mechanics of all the things working. Names and descriptions will then be changed allowing us to release to everyone.

The better thing to happen however would be for us to upload the files to the DMGuild. If we release on DMGuild they can contain 100% of the content including names and description. If you release something on the DMGuild however that is the only place it can be released. The DMGuild has largely been focused on text based content so we are awaiting communication from Lone Wolf on whether they think we can do this or not.

Ideally DMGuild would be the better alternative. Then you can have the files as you want them, with the real names and full descriptions.
 
I think I understand now. My future options will be something like....

Either files with name changes to protect the team or files with the original names, but has to be purchased through DMGuild.

Does this sound like I got it?

Answer this question for us... :D Can we host these on http://www.dmsguild.com/. If so we would love your input on how you want that to happen.

Hang tight. We're talking to the experts on this stuff. That doesn't happen overnight. Once we've got clarity on things ourselves, we'll share that info with the person(s) who is(are) spearheading the community effort.

Thanks for your patience. We want to get this right, just like you do. :)
 
Ah... I meant a threads with the codes included, like the feats page you linked. And by 'complete and incomplete' i meant.. well, like the feats page again; an incomplete list of feats, code included.

My bad, I should have phrased it better.

It just seemed to make sense that there would be a thread for each thing and that I was just over looking it.

Thanks though :)
 
Spell and Backgrounds are just text. You should be able to add those fine by just looking at existing spells and copying from your PHB.

We are working through the missing class options now.

Races are complete. Ill have a look and see how hard it would be to write up.

We're hoping for feedback from LW on hosting the files on DMsGuild.com. If that happens we may be able to give you exactly what you want.
 
I have a somewhat related question, which will only matter after WotC and the HL folks are all agreed on everything which I am being very optomistic in my thoughts.

If all the non SRD stuff can be hosted at DMsGuild, how do we load it into the system with our 5th Ed SRD stuff. I am using HL on both my PC and my iPad2, is it something I can DL and store in my Dropbox and load that way on both, or do I have to be a little more involved in adding it?
