Now how to opened? You'd be vastly better extending one of the genre-specific built-in templates -- that will allow HD to implement genre-specific rules (e.g. difference in END calculation in some areas between Heroic and Superheroic...or END for Movement abilities on Vehicles).

I extended superheroic in this case. Sorry to not make that clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I extended superheroic in this case. Sorry to not make that clear. Not in the example you posted. The example you posted has extends="builtIn.Main.hdt" - that's extending the built-in, base-level Fifth Edition template. You'd want to have extends="builtIn.Superheroic.hdt" to extend the 5E Superheroic template. Or extends="builtIn.Superheroic6E.hdt" to extend the 6E Superheroic template.

Stirling.N Posted December 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 <TEMPLATE version="2.2" extends="builtIn.Superheroic.hdt"> Will this do? Other than that it is the same. Will try 1:1 and 1:2 one PD and REC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stirling.N Posted December 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 I get an err: /Users/stirling/Downloads/NPSuper.hdt Template has NOT been loaded! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted December 9, 2021 Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 You'll need to post more information than that, I'm afraid -- like the contents of the trace.log file (in the directory that you're running HD from) after the error occurs.

Stirling.N Posted December 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 There is no trace.log but found problem - it needed to be reload on MacOS (11.6) Now I need to make modifications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted December 10, 2021 Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 If there is no trace.log file then you have more problems (permissions). You'll want to give Java full permissions/access to the directory that HD is running from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stirling.N Posted December 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 When rebooted a trace.log file is created. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
