Legendsmiths Posted August 5, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2023 Did a full combat today and discovered some key bugs that need to be squashed. Sorry, folks. We'll get it out soon. The gang from Atomic Sky needed to deal with a gang of raiders before the raiders launch an attack on one of the comms the group protects. Things got a little dicey for them, but overall they owned it. Durzan Malakim and rnadams2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techogre Posted August 5, 2023 Report Share Posted August 5, 2023 A good bug is a squashed bug! Nothing is perfect out of the gate, especially software. I'm looking forward to testing as many weird corner cases as I can. I'm even building a character with these corner cases just for testing. Obviously, I can't import it, but I'll have a correctly built character (as per HERO Basic and HERO Designer) to "build". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techogre Posted August 6, 2023 Report Share Posted August 6, 2023 @Legendsmiths Question: Will there be separate character sheets for Heroic and Superheroic characters? PCs and NPCs? Or is everyone sharing the same character sheet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techogre Posted August 6, 2023 Report Share Posted August 6, 2023 @Legendsmiths Another question: Will hit location damage be tracked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legendsmiths Posted August 6, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2023 @techogre all actors use the same sheet. We are not opposed to different sheets, but initially just one. Hit location support will be added in the Full version (no Hit Loc in basic) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legendsmiths Posted August 15, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2023 Just ran through a demo with DOJ (Hero Games) and have the full approval to proceed. We've got one last visual bug to squash (hopefully today) and then we can release to the wild. There will also be an announcement by Hero about this.

techogre Posted August 20, 2023 Report Share Posted August 20, 2023 Very excited for the OFFICIAL HERO Foundry module! This may be the week! Im chomping at the bit to test this bad boy. I have my copy of HERO Basic ready to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DudeKicksButt Posted August 21, 2023 Report Share Posted August 21, 2023 (edited) As there is currently an unofficial module (v2) that is currently in use by some, will it be possible to transition a foundry world from that module to this official module? Or will those worlds have to be rebuilt from scratch in this new module? I know this is more a limitation of Foundry than it is anything module related. The same question would go for the unpaid and paid versions of the module, if you make a world in the unpaid version, would it be possible to transition it to the paid version eventually?

techogre Posted August 21, 2023 Report Share Posted August 21, 2023 Based on my experience with Foundry, the short answer is no. I can't see a path to go from official to/from unofficial. However, I'm confident to go from Basic Offical to Complete Offical will be similar to the Savage Worlds (SWADE) setup. The Basic will be required to be installed and Complete will be an add-on module. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnTaber Posted August 21, 2023 Report Share Posted August 21, 2023 I have just started playing heavily with Foundary and I was certainly confused. I found the Hero 6th Game System but it said unofficial and it confused me. Is that one this one? Should I be installing that one or should I wait?

Legendsmiths Posted August 21, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2023 World transition should not be an issue from Basic to Complete. There will be no world transition from Unofficial to Official. You should be able to export scenes, but actors and items will not carry over. @johntaber the unoffical system has no relationship with the official one. Hero System Basic has not been released yet to the public. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once both are out, you can decide based on your needs. @Legendsmiths Any update? Are all the (major) bugs squished? I know I'm like a kid asking, "Are we there yet?". I just can't help myself.

Legendsmiths Posted August 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2023 Sorry for the delay. Extra cautious because once we code freeze, I lose some flexibility in modifications (bug fixes only until the next version is funded). I've loaded all the equipment from Hero Basic to validate some things and there are some tweaks I should have tomorrow and then we can shift it over to the public repository. Thank you for your patience. Jkeown and rnadams2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legendsmiths Posted August 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2023 Okay. All superficial bugs squashed and equipment tab cleaned up and sorted out: Working with the dev right now to take the github repository public and release. rnadams2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the Hero 6th Game System but it said unofficial and it confused me. Is that one this one? Should I be installing that one or should I wait? I've been using the Unofficial module for several months now. If you join the Hero System Discord channel, you will find all the answer about it that you need. It's a very active group on Discord, and they also often respond to games rules questions in realtime. A very helpful group in general with lots of threads. While the current Foundry Hero System module is "unofficial," the developer who has taken it over is very active on Discord and has been extremely responsive to issues. When I'm playing with it and find something that doesn't work, he usually fixes it in just a few days. It's been a labor of love for an unpaid Hero System player who happens to be a great coder. While I'm looking forward to the official versions and seeing what it provides, I have to say the Unofficial version is pretty dang good. Not perfect by any means, there are a number of things that don't work (for example, I don't believe Drain powers are automated) many powers are automated. You select an enemy with an attack, you click to hit, it tells you if it hit their DCV then you can click to roll damage and then apply damage to that target and the Body and Stun are automatically deducted minus any defenses. It can even group attack with an AOE. etc. He's done a great job as a volunteer. I'm impressed with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legendsmiths Posted August 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2023 Registering with Foundry... Keep your eyes out, it will be public before I see it. I'll put a post up, just know you can go and try to find it in Foundry package management. As of this post it isn't there yet. Wait for it...
