HeroSystem6eHeroic View File This export format is used to translate a Hero Designer character into a plain text file, which may be imported into a Roll20 HeroSystem6eHeroic character sheet using the API script HeroSystem6eHeroic_HDImporter. One of the challenges of running a Hero game in Roll20 is the time required to prepare pre-gen characters, NPCs, and monsters within Roll20. The importer was tested with more than a hundred characters and monsters from Dead Orc Pass, Kazei 5, and Monster Hunter International. Many more should work, although the HeroSystem6eHeroic sheet is currently limited to ten powers. Basic steps: 1) Export a character from Hero Designer using HeroSystem6eHeroic.hde. 2) Open the text file in a text editor. 3) Copy all of the text (use cmd-A or ctrl-A). 4) Paste the text into the Roll20 chat window of a HeroSystem6eHeroic campaign, which has been configured to use HeroSystem6eHeroic_HDImporter. 5) Hit enter. The script should provide notification of success and the character will appear along with other characters. 6) Optionally, if the Hero Designer file included an avatar image this will be exported separately. You may import the image via the 'Edit' button at the top of the character window in the usual way. The avatar will appear on the character sheet. For best results use images with dimensions of 250x250 pixels. Note that use of the Roll20 API requires a Pro-level subscription. For more information please see the HeroSystem6eHeroic_HDImporter documentation, script, and sample files located at its GitHub site.

The "Print to pdf" function in HD (Build 20190530) is not working, regardless of what kind of character I try to "Print", I always get the exact same error message (screencap attached for reference).

The Updates are located on the same page you probably downloaded your initial version of Hero Designer. You may want to check once in awhile to see if a new version has been uploaded. The most current version is August 1, 2022. From the upper main menu go to Store and Manage Purchases. From there scroll down until you see Hero Designer as a purchase (or even Hero Designer Source). You will find a .zip file at the bottom. The date will be attached so you may see what the last update was. From there you should just have to unzip the files into whatever Directory you currently have Hero Designer. If you are installing for the first time the steps are pretty much the same, except you are putting it into a new Directory or Folder. Warning: You must put Hero Designer into a folder that you have permission to read/write from! I tend to put mine on a D> Drive OR inside my Documents folder (since I'm on Windows). IF you are having issues please check Permissions first. If still having issues I would highly suggest finding the trace.log and appPrefs.xml inside your HD folder and sending it to @Simon as well as what your issues is. The more he knows the more he will be able to help.

So I'm designing a character that could be used as a get away driver. So I did give her combat piloting which says that you can have one free familiarity of any vehicles that moves in three dimensions. But when I'm putting in her TF skills in HD it doesn't take that into account so how should I address this to keep track on how many points I have spend on character skills?

So the program downloaded fine I tried Jarfix and my java is up to date. The launcher gets up to "loading plugins" and just sits there. What do I do

Hello, I am trying to use the print to PDF function on the hero designer. I keep getting an error when I do so. It says there was an error and to try again, with an error message: null. It does this every time. I just want to see my character somewhere other than the builder... I also got the mobile app, got the new template downloaded for it, and when I get the file to my phone and try to use it, just get a "Unsupported file type: text/plain. Any help would be very appreciated.

Hey I was wondering how do you build cells and vaults in the hero system, I've been trying to build it, but the math doesn't add up. I'm not sure it's supposed to be a compound power or a barrier, can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Whenever I try to use the selection from the Current Character menu "Print to PDF" it is always going to a unused location on the wrong drive. Is there any way to change this default location?

I have a Home-Brew characteristic that I would like to add to Hero Designer. How do I do it? Is it even possible? I've got Hero Design v6 build #V20190428.

Is there any documentation on the web, or anywhere on how to create HERO Designer Export Templates, or should I just pick apart an existing template to see all the possible inputs into the templates?

Hey guys, I have a question: about how many points should I build the Toxic Avenger (and maybe a female counterpart)? What kind of powers should have? Characteristics? Feel free to post a build. For those of you that have seen this 1985 classic I highly recommend it.

How do you go about designing a damage shield (I get no results on a search of the forums with that term), that is to say, a 'force field' that damages anyone who touches it? I used to know how to do this in Champions 4th (I think it was a power offshoot of energy blast).

Team: I have the most recent HD, which since I have implemented a SAN statistic and other successful elements. One thing I was wondering, is there a way to put an overall ActivePoint and/or Damage Class cap for warning purposes, so that when a player takes and uses a maximum AP value for an attack, then tries to add in a STR and/or DC bonus to go WAY beyond what the game caps are, I can load their character in my HD and point out they are above said cap in the game. I know HD is meant to be flexible, based on the GM's permissions, but at times, players may take advantage of this and it is difficult to argue it with them, unless there is a clear notification to them. Is there a way via a combination of rules and/or templates via the macros to achieve this, or would we need to access the API to do such? Thanks... Chuck D. aka "Jujitsuguy"
