Trouble with Racial Abilities

T

I'm trying to add daylight weakness to a custom race, but when I compile to test it, it tells me it can't find the ability, even though I selected it through the Racial Special menu.

I've tried it with both with "2" for the value and "none."

I get the error:

Hero Lab was forced to stop compilation after the following errors were detected:

Thing 'OD_CR_D1' - Bootstrap thing 'raDrkl_w1' does not exist
Click to expand...

EDIT2: I think this may be an artifact of a previous attempt. I've nuked this and I'm trying for Vulnerability to Sunlight, that may do the trick. I'm still working on this thorny bit below...

I'm also trying to create a special racial ability, and while I see it in the editor, I can't find a way to add it to the race.

So I've created a race, and I've created a special ability I want to add, and I don't see a way to do so.

I created the race, I created the special, I marked "Show in Specials," I saved the file, I closed the editor, I opened the editor, I loaded the file, I can't find the special.

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance,

-Ben.

The error above means you will not get any user-created content. You need to clear that error first. Make sure the thingid "raDrkl_w1" is correct.

If you have created the race, and created the ability, the next step would be to bootstrap the ability onto the race. Go to your race in the editor, and hit the bootstrap button on the upper right, hit that button, and add a new bootstrap, putting the unique ID for the ability you made.
 
After I shut down the machine and restarted it, it seemed to find the quality. I wonder if something was loaded in memory. :/

What I can't remember is if I did a compile in there, too. I'm guessing that would have made a difference.

Now it's working. So that's good, :D

Thanks for the help!
