HERO Combat Manager

Hello, I just recently purchased HCM and HD and I really like them both. However I can't use HCM on my "main" PC which is hooked up to a 4k TV Monitor as the font is so small I can't read it. Hero Designer fixed this problem via a command line telling what size font to use. Specifically the following: javaw -jar HD6.jar 18 (Yes I know that points to Hero Designer and not Hero Combat Manager) Where 18 is the size font to use (I personally use 45) Even more specifically in Windows 10 I created a shortcut to the Hero Designer program and added the font size in the "Target Window" for the shortcut properties tab like so: "D:…

I am working on a new release. I have completed the following bug and feature updates: Stunned characters are recovering actual stun which is incorrect (Bug) [#41] Any attack that is d6 "-1" can not be read in (Bug) [#76] GM Attack - AoE selection does not allow multi selection of targets (Bug) [#109] One Hit Wonder was miscalculating (Bug) [#108] Presence Attack (Feature) [#22] I am working on this feature right now: Combat Notes (Feature) [#37] - I am implementing this as something simple where you can access this from the main window and attack dialog. The combat notes will not…

I've been running a Champions campaign for the last couple months and using HCM to help organize the combats. Overall, it's been working rather well and has way better functionality than the spreadsheet I used to use (no surprise). There's just a few things that I would like to see in a future iteration if at all possible. No idea what your road map looks like right now, but I thought I'd go ahead and throw these out there. Haymakers - Basically an additional attack option that will track when the Haymaker is declared and against which target and then pop up a dialog when the attack actually goes off at the end of the following segment. Currently I'm using…

I just wanted to check if Hero Combat Manager has been updated to be compliant to the Hero System 6E ruleset with the current errata (dated January 01, 2018) that Steve Long posted in the following thread... ...or if there any any discrepancies that we will need to work around within the program

If you are getting the following error that means you are running HCM 1.1.11a and it has the wrong Combat Record export files which you used to export your characters from Hero Designer to be used by HCM. If you are using the HCM 1.1.11b (at this time the latest version) you shouldn't have the above problem. You can either download the new version of HCM or you can go to this link and download a zip which has the HCM export files you need. Sorry about that folks.

I bought HCM the other day. Installing it was easy. No issues getting it to work on my Linux machine. The launcher created is not working, but I am going to have to play with that. I started to play with it right away and ran into several issues. I mean, who needs manuals when you have YouTube? Turns out it was an EBKAC error (Error Between Keyboard And Chair). At first I was getting import errors because of the strict parsing of HTML/XML. To make things easier to understand for my players, I had replaced the display text of spells with some simple HTML. It complained that I did not close the <BR> with a </BR>. Correcting that and adding…

Team: I just purchased Hero Combat Manager, and it looks very comprehensive and very powerful. That said, I was wondering if there is a way to add two new stats - Sanity(SAN) and Sanity Defense(SD). These are new elements, which SAN is like Mental Body and of course, SD is the natural defense for it. It is for shock, horror, etc., which is part of the Campaign I am running. I noted the Hero Combat Record, much like the Hero Designer rules and templates are XML form and could be modified--of course, another file copy of the original. I've read on the site for this and also in the forums, but can't find anything of significance on this. …
