HL Editor: Add third category beside Magic & Resonance

[TinkInTheSyn]

All,

My group is starting a space-oriented campaign, and our DM created effectively a modification to the system that puts everyone in space. There is no magic; instead there's the "Spacer" type, which is a replacement for the "Magic or Resonance" priority selection.

In HL, I'm a bit unsure where this can be added or modified in the editor. I've already modified the other priority options, but for the "Tools | Priority: Category" option, all that can be selected for this is "Magic or Resonance", and the inherent options associated with this which link to magic or resonance skills.

Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

This is not something Hero Lab can handle - the number of columns in that table is something that needed to be hard-coded, so it's not something you'll be able to add on to.

My recommendation is to pretend that "Magic & Resonance" says "Spacer", and put your replacement priorities in that section.

Okay, that's what I did. Thanks for the input. Still trying to work around the system. The language definition files for HL seem to be rather incomplete. I'm even having trouble with adding a new Resource on the Resource tab, and referencing that value in the Priority creation to add.

Example:
I created a new resource called Ship Creation Points, IDed as resSCP.

Then I have the modified Priority A Magic or Resonance (i.e. Spacer)
Priority A
+14 Spacer Skills
200 Ship Creation Points (SCP)

In the eval scripts, I'm trying to use "field[resSCP].value += 200", but it errors.

Frankly, I have no idea how to reference a simple value in the scripting, and haven't located this in the help files.
