CW/MC Filter Upgrade (minor)

[archermoo]

I've got a slightly updated version of the CW/MC filter done and sent off to Ben for posting. The only thing that it fixes is a problem with some Familiarities. If a familiarity was created with the Generic Familiarity under Weapons Familiarities in either CW or MC, it wasn't getting transfered properly, and would cause the .hdc file not to load into HD correctly. With any luck Ben will have it up and available soon.

On a similar note, the Categories that different objects in CW/MC are in (Skill, Power, Familiarity, etc.) are one of the main things that the filter keys off of for determining what something is. Any characters made with modified templates that don't include the proper categories will almost definatly not get translated properly. Most of the problems that I've seen with characters getting translated so far have been due to Skills not being in the Skill category. With the obvious exception of the bug I fixed. Please feel free to let me know if you've got a problem with the filter, either by posting here or by e-mailing me at cwmc@herodesigner.com. I'll try to get back to you on it as soon as I can, but keep in mind that I don't work for HERO, I've got a full time job, and I'm working on degree.

BTW, thanks for putting in the effort to make the filter, etc...

The only real problem I ran across was when I had <> characters in the notes section of a power. This causes XML handler in HD to barf since it expects valid XML. A translation from <> to &amp;gt;&amp;lt; fixes that.
