Create panel Errors

chiefweasel

Well-known member
i have multiple prestige classes in a file. When i try to create a panel for any of them i get the error: (This is just 1 of the examples)

Thing 'cHelpFRv' - Tab panel linkage 'cUsrFRv' does not exist

i get the same message for each of the classes. the usr being asked for is in the Linked Panel ID box on the right of the screen. This happens on 5 of the 6 classes i have in the file. The sixth class already had a panel created so it is not receiving the error.

How can i create the panels for each class? Thanks.
 
The class panels should have been created during the class creation macro. Did you get them from someone else? If so, remind them to send you those files, too.

If not, you'll probably have to work on them one at a time. That means editing the XML to comment out all but one class.

Open the user file in an XML editor (or notepad if you don't want to bother downloading one - not Word - it will add extra stuff to the file that HL can't read).

The code to start a comment in XML is:
Code:
<!--
To end a comment is:
Code:
-->

So, find each thing that's labeled as compset="BaseClHelp" or compset="ClassLevel", and wrap it in those comment things.

Each thing will start with:
Code:
<thing id="

And end with:
Code:
</thing>

So, you'll wrap that in comment tags:
Code:
<!--<thing id="
 
</thing> -->

You'll comment out each of the classes that isn't working - both the class level and the class helper for each. Make sure that compiles in HL (ctrl-r). Then un-comment the class helper and class level for one class, SAVE AND CLOSE the file in your XML editor, then open that file in HL's editor, find the correct class on the class tab, then press "Create Panel" on the bottom left. Hopefully that will create one class panel. Close HL's editor, and open the file back up in your XML editor, un-comment the next class, and repeat until you're finished.
 
OK, tried all that but still have the same error. that tab Panel Linkage doesnt exist.

I then deleted all the files that i have created in the directories and reloaded the HL. at least it reloaded this time. then i moved the prestige class i need the panel for into the directory, opened the file with the editor and tried to test the prestige class.

i received the same message, Tab Panel Linkage does not exist.

so i guess i need to pose my original question. how can you create a panel for an existing prestige class? there just doesnt seem to be a way to do it once the file for the prestige class has already been created.

anyone else run into this problem? i can send the files to someone if they can make the panels for them.
