Compatibility question

[Polaris]

Greetings,

Just for clarification, will the characters made with HD v 1 be compatible with v2 (or will the expanded features require changes to be made to the character files made in v 1)??

v1 characters can be loaded into v2. You may have to manually tweak a few things post-load, where v2 has more "intelligence" than v1.

Geoff pretty much has it.

So far, the only things that will need tweaking are Enhanced Senses (point costs will be correct, some of the displays may be off if you've purchased Sense Modifiers on them), and some Sense-Affecting Powers (like Darkness, Flash, etc -- if you've purchased additional senses or sense groups for them, the displays may be off).

The issues are due to a rather large change in structure in order to work in a lot more "intelligence" and functionality in the app....as much as possible, I've put in the ability to automatically convert the old characters as they're loaded in, but there are some cases where the conversion can only go so far.
