Don't know if this was answered or not but you copy it into herolab/data/mutants
Have fun.
Hello All,
A little later than I wanted to be. I was in stupid mode and just figured out a little while ago why I couldn't see any of my updates in HL. But at long last here are my updates to dartnet's file.
I added all missing Feats, Armor and the two new Skills. The PDF is a list of everything in the file, dartnet's original inputs + mine.
Things I added:
In Feats W&W has them in three areas so in Authors Notes I listed them as 'New', 'Old Revised' or 'Power as Feat'.
I added (WW) to all feat titles so you can see the feats origin in the drop down when selecting them in HL. As a new MM player that helps me.
I changed the file name to War and Wiz v2 so it doesn't get confused with dartnet's original.
I would find it of great help is someone could proof it and let me know about any mistakes. I did not select 'Show in Special List' for anything. I wasn't sure what it was for, if any of them should have it, please let me know and I'll update the list or you can update it for us.

Hey there, I just replaced dartnet's file with this one in the mutants data folder but Herolab wouldn't recognize it, when I put dartnet's back it works fine. Is that not what I was supposed to do?

I get a list of errors as well. If both files are in there, I get duplicate entry errors (Duh), but if I just have the new one, I still get a couple of duplicate entry errors and it won't load the data file.

I notice you have a Mecha and Manga file, that's the one I've really been needing for the campaign I'm designing. Might I inquire as to where did you got that?

I'm sure he made it himself, as that's what Dartnet's been doing here (with Spence's help, now). I'm looking forward to getting my hands on that as well. All in good time!
If I understood programming better, I'd be pitching in as well, as I've actually got some fiddling I'd like to do with the M&M system that would be so much easier to do within a program like Herolab... but, alas, I'm helpless with the editor. I can't even begin to do the simple things I'd like to do. I'll just leave it up to the more skilled folks here... thanks again, guys!
Can you drop me a note on the details. I'm thinking it was maybe the unique ID's? I'd like to head off future glitches.
It is basically a first start, mostly just plugging in the text. I need to back through everything before it is usable. One of my problems is I cannot seem to add Mecha and Manga as a source. Or to be clearer I cannot add it into the select list so I am having to re-insert as a custom on each and every entry. I see problems if I can't add a good source. I asked over on the 'Hero Lab Discussion' forum, but no one has replied and I haven't found mention in the available help files.
But as soon as I can get enough completed to be of use I'll surely post it.
Bye the bye. What is the 'Show in Special List' for, what should have it? I noticed you had checked it for a few things.
Bingo.
I had a feeling.
And I can't find any kind of report mechanism in the editor, pulling a list of id's doesn't look handy.
A unique ID allows nine characters + the lead letter. I'm guessing if I change the unique ID's so the first 2 characters are unique to me then I wouldn't have to worry about conflicts.
Initials would work. If we each always use our first and last name initials as a lead in we would never have to worry about conflicting. And it woudl still leave several letters.
For me a feats unique id would always be f (for feat) plus ss and then the rest. fss1234567.
I could run back through W&W v2 and re-number all my adds and that should take care of the prob.
What do you think? We wouldn't have to worry about future conflicts.
I have a MeMa started with all the Feats entered. I want to go back and add in the one pre-req, but I haven't had a chance to figure out the script. I tried it under the assumption that simple selecting the item that was the pre-req and indicating it should be a one time notification would work, but it didn't. So I'll have to figure out a script.
I can send you what I have but I hesitate to post it. I am concerned that someone will load it and suddenly have issues, like the W&W file.
Also I can see a tab for Drawbacks in the editor, but not Complications. Where would you put them?
I've started to create a file for my planned W&W campaign. Adding gear and feats seems fairly straightforward but a lot of work. Spence: Any chance of a new upload of your v2 file? At this time I'm not too worried about compatibility issues since I have a brand new install of HL.
