Need help converting game

I am attempting to convert Dragonstar to Pathfinder, and have most of it finished. The problem I am having at present is creating the Powered Armor armor type. I have the feat Armor Proficiency (Powered) and it works fine, but when I try to create a new armor (the Assault Hardsuit and the Combat Hardsuit, both of which are powered armors), it won't show Powered Armor as an option for armor type in the pulldown. What do I need to add, and where do I add it, so that Powered Armor is an option? I tried creating a new tag in the pulldown of the armor type under the Armor tab of the editor, and it still won't show up.

Thank you for any help.
 
Hey jeff, I have already converted Dragonstar to Pathfinder. If you would like the files just let me know.

Although you might have some different things then I do, but if you woould like the files, then try to combine the two sets together, that wuld be great.
 
i noticed that when I went looking earlier, but couldn't find the files when I looked on the websites you had linked. Yes I would like to look at them, and if you want to see what I have done, that would be great too. Did you manage to get the powered armor into the armor type pulldown, and if so, how?
 
Didnt get that much in depth. a few other areas are missing, like robots, still trying to figure that one out. Shoot me a private message and I'l send you the files. Just give me your email in PM. Thanks.
 
I too am trying to create my own armor types to populate the drop down. Other than this thread I can't see where anyone else has tried. Does anyone have any ideas on how this can be done? There's a GroupID tag of ArmorClass that has the TagID of the types, but I can't find where this is defined to add more.

You can't create your own Armor Types. Not all tag groups allow for that. The only thing you could do is create a "Custom.?" tag and then put that on the armor. Then have your scripts look for it do do special processing.

This would also allow you code your Custom Expressions for the Drop Down lists to look for this new "Custom.?" tag group.
