Feat Type Double Print

[subfunk]

I've been adding feats from the Book of Exaulted Deeds for a campaign I'm in, and noticed that all the feats I'm adding show double "Feat Category" entries. Here's a screen shot:

I'd also like to change the Feat Category to Exaulted, but don't see an option to make changes to the types. I could use Special or Custom, but I'd prefer to list them all under the same type for easier exporting (and uploading).

1) Is the double printing expected?
2) Is there any chance of being able to add Categories?

Thanks,

I closed and reopend the file and it looks fine now.

Nevermind....

I'm guessing this means there is something funky with the way that splicing is working for Feats. An issue with splicing would only impact things during development and testing, and everything would work fine once the files are fully re-loaded.

Can you send me the data file(s) you created so that I can take a look (helpdesk at wolflair.com)? Given the behavior you cited, I'm not convinced everything is actually working 100% correctly.

Thanks, Rob

Yes, you will be able to do so. It will involve adding new tags for the different categories. We haven't nailed down how to integrate that into the editor (or if we can), since adding a tag like that is currently something that would have to be done in an augmentation file instead of a data file (IOW, it can't be done in the file type you're manipulating within the editor). We have some ideas, but it's on the todo list for after we get classes integrated. Adding it manually will be easy (tags are trivial to add), but we'd prefer to let users do it from within the editor if possible.

Stay tuned for a concrete answer on how you'll go about doing this....

Rob,

I've sent the file per your request. Thanks for checking into it. It does seem to be intermittent.

I noticed the same problem when I spliced in a new feat as well. So dont mark it down as a complete anomaly.

Seems to only happen when I've opened the editor and spliced something in (this is pretty consistent behavior. When I close Hero Lab and reopen it, it looks normal.
