Community Effort: Feats

[daplunk]

Hi Everyone,

This is a listing of the scripts required to add the missing 5e feats into Hero Labs 5e SRD. This does not list the feat descriptions. You will need to copy those in from your PHB.

GREEN = Functional
ORANGE = Partially Functional
RED = Yet to be automated.

To complete this WE NEED YOUR HELP.

Please take the time to look over the scripts provided. If you have the required knowledge to resolve some of the Orange and Red entries please post them in the comments below so that the master list can be updated.

See below (post 3) for a tutorial on how to add these in using the Hero Labs. Adding these in requires only your time and no programming knowledge.

CURRENT STATUS
COMPLETE: 87%
PARTIALLY COMPLETE: 4%
PENDING COMPLETION: 0%

OUTSTANDING
Spell Sniper - Currently does not restrict spell choice to only those with attack roles. To be implemented after next official patch.

COMMUNITY FILES
These feats are all currently being added to a Community Pack that will be made available in the near future. We have replaced all known missing functionality from the PHB and are preparing the files for release. Watch the forum boards for an announcement.

[MNBlockHead]

Thanks for posting this. Very helpful!

 

[Elindor]

Tough - cribbed from Hill Dwarf's Toughness

2 evaluation scripts, both Post-levels phase.
Priority 5000

field[abValue].value += maximum(herofield[tHitDice].value, 1)*2

Priority 15000

~if we've been disabled, get out now
doneif (tagis[Helper.Disable] <> 0)

herofield[tBonusHP].value += field[abValue].value

 

[Elindor]

I've almost got Sharpshooter (and, by extension, Great Weapon Master) nailed for scripting the mechanics. You will need to check "Show in Activated Ability List" and set an Activation Name.

doneif (field[abilActive].value = 0)
foreach pick in hero from BaseWep where "(wCategory.RangeProj | wCategory.RangeThrow | wCategory.Firearm)"
eachpick.field[atrBonus].value -= 5
eachpick.field[dmrBonus].value += 10
nexteach

Now, when you have Sharpshooter selected, a check box will appear on the in play tab. Checking the box will change the attack/damage values automatically. It does not, however, test for proficiency - not sure how to do that yet.

For Great Weapon Master, replace (wCategory.RangeProj etc) with wProperty.Heavy, and use atmBonus and dmmBonus.

Once the Weapon Proficiency test is sorted, it should hopefully slot into the where expression - but for now, it'll do - just hold the honour system there.

 

[daplunk]

Thanks Elindor!

They both work wonderfully

If anyone has knowledge they can share please don't be shy!

 

[daplunk]

For Great Weapon Master, replace (wCategory.RangeProj etc) with wProperty.Heavy, and use atmBonus and dmmBonus.

Have you got this working? My attempts are failing No changes are being made to anything visible on the In-Play tab.

doneif (field[abilActive].value = 0)
foreach pick in hero from BaseWep where "(wCategory.Heavy)"
eachpick.field[atmBonus].value -= 5
eachpick.field[dmmBonus].value += 10
nexteach

 

[Elindor]

Here's the codeblock

doneif (field[abilActive].value = 0)

foreach pick in hero from BaseWep where "wProperty.Heavy"
eachpick.field[atmBonus].value -= 5
eachpick.field[dmmBonus].value += 10
nexteach

 

[daplunk]

Got it. Change wCategory.Heavy to wProperty.Heavy

doneif (field[abilActive].value = 0)
foreach pick in hero from BaseWep where "(wProperty.Heavy)"
eachpick.field[atmBonus].value -= 5
eachpick.field[dmmBonus].value += 10
nexteach

 

[MagicSN]

Hmmm, seems to be easier than I thought with the editor after all...

Still would prefer a .dat files release so one can get the complete overview of things in the implementation.

 

[Elindor]

I'm probably not going to be contributing to feats too much for the rest of the week - my priority is (hopefully understandably) covering the non-SRD material being used in the D&D game I'm running. I think I'm doing quite well - in addition to all of the feats, I've got one subrace and three sub classes (with all features) in a usable state (not as polished as I'd like, but I take what I can get), and a fallback strategy for Variant Human if I can't work out how to add a feat that the user can choose. So my immediate plan will be to deal with the two remaining subclasses and add in the spells I need (even if they're just placeholders at this time).

There is, however, some interesting design space in the feats, so I'll probably swing back into it in short order. But for now, sleep beckons - I've got work in the morning *yawn*

 

[Tesh]

Not sure if this is correct thread to ask this question, but if you are not a programmer or the knowledge do all the editing that you guys are doing, is there is there away to add them or just need to wait for updates?

 

[daplunk]

This information is enough for a non programmer to add this information in. You are just copying the steps and code provided into the matching fields in the editor.

The green ones are complete and functional. Orange is partially complete. Red is still work in progress.

I will post a tutorial with images in a bit as an example.

Why go through all that instead of just making actual .user files that can be shared? As has been mentioned the community can add the missing pieces of the SRD.

If all the separate people adding stuff started to work together it would go so much faster. Right now its like 20 people each doing there own thing.

 

[daplunk]

Its probably the way to go. I'm assuming however changes will need to be made.

Feat Names changed
Feat Descriptions removed

I'm assuming community files can only contain the mechanism.

Can anyone confirm?

 

[ShadowChemosh]

I'm assuming community files can only contain the mechanism.

Can anyone confirm?

Yep it has been CONFIRMED.

Basically you can most likely get away with the same "Name" of a Thing but you only want to list the Mechanics of the ability. So lets say "Dodge" feat (Sorry I don't know 5e) from 3.5. Call it "Dodge" but list a very simple text of +1 AC bonus.

Then take a look at my NOTE here about consistent file names and pick a two digit unique ID and how to set that.

Next stage of this is to compile the .user files into working version called Package or .hl file. This can be setup on the community servers with a working Update URL. Meaning that people will be able to download and install this community Pack really easily. In addition HL will tell gamers when a new version is out and will even prompt gamers to download and install.

This means you reach a MUCH larger audience.

 

[daplunk]

Thanks Shadow.

Not sure I'm the right person to be taking the lead on this. The only reason i have availability is because i'm home with a 2 week old /zzzzzzz
