Interest in Character creation software? *New Version 5/2*

[Alric]

New version (1.1.1) of the template just posted. It will probably complain if you haven't upgraded to 5.0.6 which was released a few days ago.

Not a lot of changes. I added a sample powers container for gadgeteers and the like. A few display tweaks. I also did some work on the print and text output to clean it up some more.

Version 1.1.1

Okay I bought a copy and it looks good except I can't figure out how to add powers, skills, weaknesses, etc...

When I open those windows from "DATA" I get blank windows that I can't type in or select from a drop down, etc...

HELP!?!?!??!

Right click in the window and choose "Select Item". A new window will pop-up with the related choices. If you right click on skills you will get a list of skills and so on.

Excellent!

Thank you very much

Just had a quick question about the BASH template. I'm still getting to grips with the rules as well as metacreator. How do you add Linked powers? I can see the option to add linked enhancement but when displayed on the character sheet, it's not showing as linked to the parent power? Am I doing it right?

When you add the link just enter the power it's linked to in the "Qualifier" text box. It doesn't actually check anything so you can enter any value you want.

Thanks for the answer. Another quick question. Push power doesn't allow me to add a limitation or the range.

I'll look into to it. My at home internet has been acting up so I can't post from there. Hopefully it will be working again tonight.

I am trying to add a Special Attack, but it forces me to choose Hit and Damage, what if I want Variable?

Hmmm... It seems to be working fine here. What is the problem you are seeing?

Variable isn't listed in the power description as an option so I would add it as an enhancement to the power.

I think I just have no clue how to use this software

If it will help I can enter a couple of the characters you posted in the superbuilds forum and send you the files. That way you can poke about through a completed character and see how things were entered.

Dude that would be AWESOME!

I don't know if this is the right thread to ask this, as it seems mostly dedicated to the "other" multi-rules character generator, but has anyone created a data file set for making BASH characters in Hero Lab? I use that all the time for my M&M needs, and it'd be really nice not to have to buy a new program.

I took a look at MetaCreator, and it looks nice, but I don't see any games I actually *play* in their official licenses... so I'd rather stick with what I've got if I can. Anyway, just asking... Cheers!
