Thanks. I'll see about doing what you mentioned. I haven't rotted around the file structure for months.

So I have confirmed that no such unique id of wuNeedle exists from Lone Wolf. This means the issue is coming from some other addon you have or your own personal files.

Follow EightBitz info HERE but search for the value wuNeedle. This will tell you what file outside of the "COM_" file has this unique ID. Once you find the the other file causing the issue you can change its unique id to be like wuNeedle2 to prevent issues.

LOL yeah... Oh and look Community does have an "I" in it. As in its pretty much me, myself and I. :p :D

I should take that back because Quintain has as of last week added "new" stuff to the Pack. So it is more than just me. :)

But it is allot more lonely than it use to be.

hehe yeah...my motivation kept dying slowly as it went longer and longer without playing. finally after two years part of my group got back together then the dm said no psionics, so that broke my heart. haha. but i keep meaning to look back into it...i feel like i've lost most of the coding knowledge i had though (as basic as it was)...
 
I just went and deleted it. I didn't care about some random weapon I'd never use.

On a completely other note, I see some people talking about how psionics isn't being actively worked on anymore. Back when I was a fan I had worked on a conversion of the Thunderscape campaign setting. Does anyone have a list of what still needs doing for psionics? If nobody's working on it I certainly have the time just have to rewatch some tutorials and remind myself how to heck to do this. Can't promise they'll be up to snuff but they're better than nothing.

But each time you update the community pack that weapon will come back. Meaning you are better off fixing the issue in your .user files than in removing it from the community pack.

Psionic is being worked on actively by me. "Slow" is not dead at least in my world. I understand no one has any patience anymore and slow means not being worked on but its not the case.

New stuff was added and will be in this weekends release for Psionics.

That being said I am always willing to get help. Please see THIS thread for how to setup GitHub and sourcetree. The community uses a real source code repository so you will have to get familiar with the tools but overall they are pretty easy.

Please note something that seems to upset people is after they add stuff to the Pack I often make adjustments to the scripts. We have standards that I need followed so that we don't break the pack with every HL update. Shrug I feel better to warn anyone ahead of time now that I do that.

My advice is to start "Small" do not try and do a whole class or archetype and leave it half implemented. That really does not help anyone and actually causes things to slow down as then I have to spend time fixing it. Start with some magic items or feats that could use some scripting. Heck find issues that are outstanding and fix them instead of just adding "new" is better. I would rather we have fully working stuff that is missing stuff than have everything in but none of it work.

My plan was actually to help the DM's along and add the missing psionic monsters. For starting small.

So you want to do the Psionic Bestiary book then? Nothing from the Psionic Bestiary has been added yet. I honestly have no idea if any components or structures are in place for Psionic monsters.

So good chance you will be building stuff without anything to copy or work from as examples. Well for the "psionic" part at least. Lost of examples for other parts of monsters. :)

High level points:
1) Make sure you add the two letter specific id to all Thing ID's. In this PU for psionics. You can set this in the editor Tools menu so you don't forget.
2) Make sure each Thing Type is broken into separate files. Races in one, racial abilities in another, equipment in another... etc...
3) Standard "stop" script logic in all racial abilities that have scripts.
Code: 
      ~ If we're disabled, do nothing
      doneif (tagis[Helper.SpcDisable] <> 0)
4) Product ID is set to the "Hero Lab Community".
5) Don't reinvent the wheel for racial abilities. Reuse racial abilities that are already existing especially if they already exist in the Pack.
6) Don't put the monsters name in the racial abilities. THis makes it harder to reuse the same exact ability on two monsters.
7) DO NOT make new breath weapon racial abilities. Use the generic Breath Weapon racial ability we don't need 3,000 breath weapon racial specials. :p
 
Well it won't be that hard. There are the monsters from the main book, the ones that are up on PFSRD as well. Brain Mole, Phrenic Scourge, etc. Then my next thing would be to do the psionic archetypes for base classes if possible. After that, I have been looking at Seventh Paths on my harddrive. Good book. No support so far.

You sure this is the correct feat as it shows sourced marked to PoW Expanded. :(
 
Awesome update! I see some psionics additions and bugfixes which warms the cockles of my heart. The wNeedle bug is still present in the new version but a quick rename fixed it. Can't do that with the tablet but not a big deal.

This issue is an issue only for your system. As mentioned you have another addon or personal files that the pack is Conflicting with. You need to fix the non-Pack files or you will have issues after every update.
 
Adding Eberron Specific Equipment

Firstly, if this isn't the correct place for my questions, please forgive me. I don't visit the forums often enough to have a good feel for where this belongs.

---

While setting up for an Eberron campaign (creating monster portfolios to go with random encounter tables, etc.) using Community Pack v1.7, I'm attempting to add a unique piece of Eberron equipment from Sharn: City of Towers (SCoT) via the HL Editor and since the API is so poorly documented, I'd like some assistance with coding it, please. (Once the item is finished, I'll be glad to contribute it to the CP.)

I have the basics already in place for a Potion Bracer (SCoT, p. 159), including the price correction to 100 GP from Errata. The biggest thing troubling me is how to implement the Arcane Spell Failure (ASF) chance associated with this item.

Off the top of my head, the Potion Bracer is the only item of equipment with an associated ASF that isn't a protective item (armor or shield). I've added a Tag similar to what I see on armor to this item (Group Id: ArmorArcFl, Tag Id: 5), but that doesn't appear to be sufficient to include this in the ASF calculation on, for instance, the Wizard class tab.

I tried bootstrapping a newly created 'armor' item, but then, of course, it throws a validation error when I tried to equip both the Potion Bracer and another piece of armor.

Question #1: Is there a known mechanism in the HL API for adding ASF from something other than protective gear?

I looked at the Bandolier to see a canonical PF item with a limited carrying capacity, but I didn't see any mechanism appearing to limit the number of items it carries aside from the description text. I did add a weight limit of 0.3# (the weight of three empty vials from 3.5), but potions in Pathfinder are apparently weightless.

Question #2: Is there a known API mechanism to limit the number of items that a container can hold?

Its logically possible to wear two potion bracers, since it typically takes a matched pair of bracers to fill the 'Wrist' equipment slot.

Question #3: Is there a known way to permit two items to occupy the same equipment slot without throwing an error?

---

As an aside, I'm also updating the the Empty Vessels in my campaign to better fit the theme of PF's 'Psychic' magic. I've copied & overridden the Empty Vessel to remove 'Naturally Psionic' and replace it with a Favored Class option for Psychics. My idea is to grant +1 Phrenic Pool per level (as opposed to Elf & Halfling 1/3, since EVs are purpose-bred psychics), and eventually a similar option for any of the other psychic classes should they come up.

I'd be glad to hear any input the community has on this change, such as perhaps instead using a different bonus like adding rounds to the Abomination Discipline's Dark Half power (as this appears to be the most thematically appropriate Discipline for a future Quori host).
 
Question 1:
Yes, the code can be found on the adjustment for "Iron Body"

Code: 
~ Post-Level/4000
~ Failure
herofield[tArcHeavy].value = maximum(herofield[tArcHeavy].value,35)
~ ACP
herofield[tArmorCArm].value -= 6

Question 2:
No, not that I am aware of, I dont even think there is a way to restrict what can go into the bracers.

Question 3:
Yes, the code is:
Code: 
~ Adding the script to the item at Post-Attr/10000
perform hero.assign[ExtraSlot.EqpWrist]

But it might be worth adjust this script to make sure you can only equip another identical item. Otherwise you'll have some knucklehead adding a bracer of protection. Also, you'll need to add a script to prevent the second bracer from applying that extra slot. Each time you'll end up with yet another extra bracer slot.
------
As for your side question, I dont know anything about that, so I wouldn't be able to comment.

On reading this I've realised there was a Community Pack update which I haven't downloaded yet. My file didn't have a source, and I'll bet it was fixed in the new update. Thanks Shadow!

I advise not doing this at all. Potion Bracers are NOT magic items and do not take up magic equipment slots. So no reason to give "extra" slots for something that takes up zero slots.

The most likely issue here is that you have marked the Potion Bracer as taking up a slot when you should have left it blank. :)

As you are making custom things in the Editor its own thread would be appreciated. :)

Skarn said:

Can't limit by number of items but weight can be done I think. What I would do is a warning message instead if you have more than three items in the potion bracer. That way the gamer knows there is a limit and they are allowed to easily surpass that if there group/GM allows. I prefer stuff never "hard" stops a gamers because it prevents a person from easily doing houserules.

Sounds pretty cool. I honestly have not looked at the Occult stuff in Pathfinder allot. Can't really give any thoughts on this. To be honest only really matters how the people in your group feel about. :)
