I did not, however, look at the community-produced materials to see if they were already out there. It would have been very challenging for me to capture all of that data, I think.
I agree some what. The Adventure Path files are sorted under the same folder and not that many of them to look at quickly in the idea of which books may have already been done. So like bodrin said if nothing for Six Folds Trial nothing to worry about.
For RotRL there is allot more out there actually. What really should happen, and understand its time consuming, is to combine the separate stuff into one big RotRL. Which means removing any duplicate work and leaving it with just the best version of any duplicates.
This is actually on my to-do list but man its a little daunting for the time it will take. There is a new feature in 3.8a that I really want to use that will make this better so I may wait until that is done before tackling this. In the end I would like one single ".hl" file that correctly imports all things into HL and into the right places. Plus would like to rename the files to actually be more standard.
One thing that I was trying to do was consolidate the information. For example, I provided a single .user file and a single .stock file for the bestiary entries for every issue of "Rise of the Runelords". That isn't necessarily how everyone has to do it, but it seemed to make the most sense to me.
I saw that and I am not really sure on the single .stock file. Its sort of an area I don't use HL for much. So is a single .stock file better to do the import from or is it better to simply import the individual .por files instead? If it was single .por files we will be able to break them down by sub-folders location for each RotRL Chapter? So we could have
"Portfolios\RotRL\Chapter 1\*.por"
Or is it better to do import from a single .stock file? Like I said it is not an area of HL I use allot so not really sure.
Speaking of which, I wonder if there's an easy way to consolidate information from multiple .user files? What happens if I'd like to take all the data from Umarian's separate files and combine them into one .user file? I know I could just start a blank .user file and copy in data from multiple sources, but is there a faster/easier way to do it?
You can use Note Pad, I prefer TextPad actually, to open up the .user files and you want to copy everything from after the
Code:
<document signature="Hero Lab Data">
to
And then paste into the other .user file before the
That is the quickest way I can think of to combine the two together.
but it was something i observed.
