Two questions

Recommended Posts

1: How do I do a plug-in for HD? plug-in directory, call the external classes. Anything else?

 

2: how can I pull out information from the notes section in the characteristics and other pre-made areas? for example on Size (for vehicles) all the

length, height, etc is in the Notes, I want to pull them out and make their own items of them. Similar to what the 5th edition sheet was.

Plugins need to be packaged in a .jar file with a manifest containing the following information:

  • author
  • contact
  • description
  • mainClass (the class file containing the "public static void main()" to launch the plugin)
  • name

Once packaged, place in the plugins directory and HD will load it during startup.

 

 

The Notes column on the Characteristics tab are generally compiled from various methods within the relevant Characteristic -- you'll want to look to those to see if you can put the information together differently/the way that you're after.  Or you can parse the notes string itself.

Nothing easy, no.  ATTRIBUTE_VALUE will get you the levels that have been added in for height, width, etc...but you'd be doing math from there.

I'll also point out that you're going to likely want to stick with the values in the Notes field -- there are some really screwed up calculations required to calculate some things on Vehicles (in particular) that go against all of the rounding rules in the system (which are a whole 'nother topic of discussion). They're generally table-based and follow their own, special logic.
