Hello Simon,

So what I have settled on is doing both a custom Template and Prefabs for my skills.  I have created all the new skills in a modified XML template file which I load, then I have built a Prefab of the skills list in each Profession...

But...

Do you, or anyone else have any ideas on how to make the Separators or the List Text actually appear when I load the Prefab?  It just says "separator"...I have tried notes, etc.  But nothing seems to actually display the name I gave the Separator.

Thanks in advance!

Oh...well I am having a duh moment here!  I am not sure why I did not look there first.  Thanks. 

Hello Simon,

So I bought a new version of the software as my existing version was saying that the Heroic6E.hdt file was from version 2 of the software and that I needed a version 3...

However, the new version of the software does not seem to have the HD6 folder included in the download?  I could not find any of the template files to modify.  I guess I am looking for the HDv3.jar file that will contain the templates?

Is that available from Hero Games in some form I can still get at and use?

Yes, I am looking through the XML right now...I will play a bit with it, but I may have to resort to a Prefab.  Thanks again Simon! 

Hello Simon,

Thank you much for your reply!  So I am thinking that I would like to build these new skills inside a template.  I have never added skills into a template before...how do I get them into the skills list for the players to be able to select them?  I have look all through the software and have not found where I can add skills into the list...  Now, perhaps I am not understanding how templates work...

EDIT:  Reading in the documentation, it looks like I will  need to modify an XML file...can you help with where I can get a baseline XML to start from?

Thanks again for your help here!

I am doing a space game that will have skill groups for players to buy as part of building their profession on a spaceship.  They are all sort of custom skills like Zero G Operation, Astrogation, etc.  I would like to have them preloaded into Hero Designer for my players to just buy them.  I am not sure how to do such a thing and if it would be more appropriate to put them into a Template or a Prefab?  Any assistance is appreciated.  :)
