For those of you using HeroDesigner that may not know I just posted a new Export Template that mimics the published version of character writeups. You can find it here.

 

If you get a chance to check it out please let me know what you think. I'm planning on doing versions of the other published sheets, ie Vehicle, Computer, Base.

 

You sir are a god. That is an amazing template.

(my roommate in college had an Amiga)

Amigas kicked a$$ in their day. In the late 1980's, you had this situation...

 

Color & Resolution
PC 4 to 16 colors, low-res (CGA/EGA)
Mac 2 colors (B&W), high-res
Amiga 6048 colors, high res
Multitasking
PC No multitasking
Mac Cooperative multitasking
Amiga Genuine pre-emptive multitasking

Commodore just had no clue how to market it (they kept wanting to make it another C64, without realizing that serious computer users didn't want a machine to plug into their TV). They were blessed with a great machine, and cursed with a comical lack of ability to market it effectively.

Like I said, my college roommate had one. Fortunately, he was a Physics/Comp Sci double major, and did most of his own programming.

 

I'll agree with the lack of Commodore's marketing.

My character picture doesn't show up, and I don't think the trackers at the bottom of the last page look right. How are they supposed to appear?

For now the picture has to be a jpeg until I can figure out how it gets converted to a windows metafile.

 

The last three runs of charges should be a line of 3's, 4's and 5's. Simulates auto-fire, and whatever you want to do.

Hmm... what version of Word are you using? The image seems to have difficulties on certain versions. I'll have to look into that. For now, you could always just insert the picture yourself. I would be curious to see the actual output that you are getting though.

 

Yes, the trackers are supposed to be boxes. It may be a font issue for you. I used Unicode characters in the hope that everyone would see the same thing.

OK, the trackers are OK. For some reason, it defaulted those to Arial Narrow. I changed it to Arial, and the appear as boxes. Still no picture, though...

Ah ok. I'll change the font in the templates. It doesn't matter with the newer version of Word, but the older version must not be Unicode compliant.

 

As for the picture, that will have to wait. I'm currently working on the vehicle, base, and computer templates. Once I'm done with those, I'll revisit the graphics. I'm positive that it is a Word 97 issue though becuase several others haven't had any problems with pictures not showing up.
