Castles and Crusades

[Clinius]

I've just bought Herolab after playing around with it for a few weeks. My major RPG focus at the moment is Castles and Crusades which doesn't have too many rules and was wondering if anyone else is working on this for Herolab?

 

[Riskor-Idan]

I started to at the beginning of the year b ut got bogged down with things in the real world, (Damn!). LOL But plan on starting up with it again after Rock-Con next month.

Is this project still working? I'd love to get C&C for HL.

 

[BoomerET]

Yes, I believe my project still works, take a look at my sig.

Is there a reason that I cant EDIT any of the files? It tells me that the program may become unstable, I try to edit, and it wont save.

The editor won't edit .dat files only .user. So I guess you could try to change the extension.

Ok, that worked just fine! Thank you very much for the C&C ruleset... Now to add all my stuff.

Lee,

If you want to take over maintenance, I'll gladly keep the update mechanism alive with your updates, or you can take complete control, and you can implement it.

I have no place to post the file, if you can keep it, I'll send you updates.
They will be slow in coming but... I'll update the gear/armor/weapons/spells, etc.... If you can host.

[BoomerET]

Lee,

I'll continue hosting, no problem. Glad to help C&C.

 

[LeeSmith]

I may be able to host the file... I created a Yahoo Group and am able to host it there. But please keep your file available.

 

[LeeSmith]

BoomerET, what have you NOT done with the C&C core files? What else needs to be done to make it complete?

 

[BoomerET]

I'm unable to answer that, as I haven't looked at the code/plugin in probably close to a year.

[LeeSmith]

Ok, I cant find the file that you put the Helms in, what file is it?

I have opened every file in:
C:\ProgramData\Hero Lab\data\candc

Where all the other files I have edited for equipment, weapons etc reside, but there is no file for the Helms that I can find.

 

[BoomerET]

C:\ProgramData\Hero Lab\data\candc\thing_helm.dat

If you don't have that file, it's possible that I never uploaded my most current working copy of the plugin, which I think was 0.64

 

[LeeSmith]

I have the file, BUT... all the tabs are empty.

Funny thing is, when I open HL and C&C, I can see the Helms, but I cant see where to edit them. FUNNY!

I can find: Bacinet, and in the description it says:

Defense: +4
Cost: 15 gp
Weight: 7lbs each

Helm

So it is someplace.

Well unless editor tabs were created, you'd probably need to create them in RAW XML

 

[LeeSmith]

Here is a pic.

If it exists in here, someone had to enter it somewhere.

 

[AndrewD2]

Right, he probably just entered it as XML. A lot of data file authors don't worry about editor tabs until later in the process.

 

[LeeSmith]

Would it be in the same directory:

C:\ProgramData\Hero Lab\data\candc

If so, there is no XML file there.
