Update 1.19b

[Simon]

Ok...there was a small error in 1.19 which caused issues with NCM (thanks to nblade for pointing it out).

I've got that fixed and have posted a modified jar file to the update page (1.19b).

Sorry for any difficulties!

[Midhir]

I tried the the OPTION and OPTION_ALIAS TAGS and they don't seem to be working.

[Simon]

Post the context in which you tried them and I'll let you know what's wrong (you'll need to use < and > for the < and >)

[Simon]

One thing which I should mention about the &lt;!--OPTION--&gt; and &lt;!--OPTION_ALIAS--&gt; tags is that they will only output a value if the object in question <i>has</i> options.

For example, CSLs will display a value for this, Acrobatics will not. If the object does not have any options, the tags will simply be replaced with an empty string.

[Midhir]

Yep I relize if the object doesn't have an OPTION or OPTION_ALIAS listed it will show up blank, but I'm getting the actaul TAG showing up and I'm using it in a CSL export.

[Simon]

Again, Midhir, please post or email me the export file that you're having problems using. I can't help you if I don't see what you're trying to do....

[Midhir]

Will do, I posted that at work and have the file at home. I'll e-mail it soon as I can.

Here is the CSL section of my HCS export filter (testing not a finished product)

&lt!--IFCOMBAT_LEVELS-->&lt!--COMBAT_LEVELS-->
BEGINPOWER:
Power: &lt!--OPTION-->
ALIAS: &lt!--OPTION_ALIAS-->
Cost: &lt!--COMBAT_LEVEL_COST-->
TEXT: &lt!--COMBAT_LEVEL_TEXT-->
BASE COST: &lt!--BASE_COST-->
DISPLAY: &lt!--COMBAT_LEVEL_DISPLAY-->
ALIAS: &lt!--COMBAT_LEVEL_ALIAS-->
&lt!--MODIFIERS-->
MOD XMLID: &lt!--MODIFIER_XMLID-->
MOD DISPLAY: &lt!--MODIFIER_DISPLAY-->
MOD ALIAS: &lt!--MODIFIER_ALIAS-->
MOD VALUE: &lt!--MODIFIER_VALUE-->
MOD TEXT: &lt!--MODIFIER_TEXT-->
&lt!--/MODIFIERS-->
&lt!--ADDERS-->
ADD XMLID: &lt!--ADDER_XMLID-->
ADD DISPLAY: &lt!--ADDER_DISPLAY-->
ADD ALIAS: &lt!--ADDER_ALIAS-->
ADD COST: &lt!--ADDER_COST-->
ADD TEXT: &lt!--ADDER_TEXT-->
&lt!--/ADDERS-->
&lt!--/COMBAT_LEVELS-->
&lt!--/IFCOMBAT_LEVELS-->

Here is an example of the output

BEGINPOWER:
Power: &lt!--OPTION-->
ALIAS: &lt!--OPTION_ALIAS-->
Cost: 6
TEXT: +2 with any three maneuvers or a tight group of attacks
BASE COST: 6
DISPLAY: Combat Skill Levels
ALIAS: +2 CV w/ Swords

I just copied and pasted the code you posted into an export template and it worked fine under 1.19b

Are you sure you're running the right version?

[Midhir]

Yep checked when I started it.

From the Help Tab
HERO Designer
Version 1.19b

[Simon]

Ah ha!

I found the problem....I was checking it in my test environment (where it works fine). It seems that I missed a file in the update.

Version 1.19b will work fine with the exception of those two tags.

I'll get a new update out this weekend with the missing file included.

The good news is that the code you've got will work fine ;)

[Midhir]

Great! LoL.

Thanks for the hard work by the way.
