Would a Kickstarter be out of question for these sorts of projects?

I can help a little, but I do not have a whole lot of time. I am a Computer Science student. I have gotten fairly good at making Hero Lab mods.
Evil wins because good rolls poorly .... or the players are not paying enough attention to the game. |

I think Lone Wolf will be putting the Companions up for sale rather than as free updates, at a guess, and from the sounds of it we're looking at the kind of programming that most of us doing data files pretty much never really deal with (meaning these changes are not just .user file things but may need some direct modification of the setting files themselves.) In either case I'm not sure adding any extra hands to the task will really help too much. Sometimes it's easier for a single person to keep track of the specifics on a project like this than to try to coordinate a team to work it.
Now if LoneWolf did make Caped a full-time employee not only could he get stuff like this done a bit quicker for us, but maybe then they could more aggressively approach some of the third-party folks out there for releasing official data files for other non-Pinnacle Savage Worlds settings.

You are probably right.
But I can code, too. We can see the code for Savage Worlds. It is not too hard, similar enough to C++, and besides I have looked it over quite a bit and gotten a basic familiarity with it. Evil wins because good rolls poorly .... or the players are not paying enough attention to the game. |

So we need to outsource to India for manpower like all the IT departments do? LOL

Actually, Hero Lab is written in a custom programming language created by Lone Wolf. I had to learn to write in it, and zarlor is right, the interior code is a bit different than writing user files.

(homebrew multiverse theme) Setting Files Supported: Deadlands: Reloaded, Flash Gordon, Gaslight, Hellfrost, Interface Zero 2.0, Seven Worlds, Slipstream, Solomon Kane Future Setting Files: Savage Judge Dredd |

Hi. I was wondering if there were any updates on the Sci-Fi/Super Powers Companion- 2nd Ed data sets? I know my players and I are particularly excited to see the release of the new Super Powers companion. Thank you for all your hard work!
