Figuring out where to start on a modified ABP

[willuwontu]

I'm planning on attempting to import this updated system of ABP into HL (over my free time during spring break).

I'm assuming that I'll need to use a mechanic to bootstrap a configurable onto the hero, but I'm unsure how to deal with converting abilities/their values into points and setting a max for it.

Looking over the ABP stuff, it appears it was done via Class Specials, but I'm still unsure how the ABP page was made.

How can I add a new resource (such as Power Points, in this case ABP Points) to hero lab?

It looks like there isn't an editor tab for resources. Here is an XML example you can paste into a user file with a text editor. Tweak as necessary, of course.

  <thing
    id="resLegGift"
    name="Legendary Gifts"
    compset="Resource"
    uniqueness="unique">
    <fieldval field="resObject" value="Legendary Gifts"/>
    <usesource source="PUAutoBon"/>
    <usesource source="PUAutoBNoM"/>
    <tag group="Helper" tag="Bootstrap"/>
    <eval index="1" phase="First" priority="3000"><![CDATA[
      ~ This is a dummy eval that forces the resource to be live early, so that
      ~ later scripts can add to it on the first pass. Otherwise, things are
      ~ always an eval pass behind.
      ]]></eval>
    </thing>

The Helper.Bootstrap tag will make this be added to all characters, or you could bootstrap it directly to whatever Mechanic you are using to bootstrap the configurable you mentioned.

Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for.

Is there a way to set the amount you increment an incrementer by?

You mean, click the incrementer once, increase the value by more than 1? I don't think that is something set up to be user possible in PF1.

Ah, I know it's done for ABP attunements, however I can't see how those work as they're LW objects.

If you're going to build a new tab, you'll need to study the authoring kit wiki. For example, here's the page on what settings you can apply to an incrementer portal: http://hlkitwiki.wolflair.com/index....Element_(Data)

Ah, so I'd have to build a new tab then. Originally I was thinking of just using custom abilities and a config for obtaining them (was trying to figure out how to set the resource as the allowed amount for it), since there is a cost tag for custom abilities. I suppose I should look into how to do this though, it'll probably be better in the long run that way.

Where can I view the authoring kit wiki now? The site update seems to have murdered it's existence.
