Couple of questions

Post by GMdave »

Can I add to the list in the "Look up"?

Why will my notes I add to the creature when creating groups not show up when I add them to an encounter?

Thanks
Dave

Right now you have to add them by hand to the XML file. An editor will show up in the 1.1 version at some point. If you want to add them by hand the file to update is C:\Documents and Settings\<user-id\.inittool\defaultMonsters.rpdat. Make sure you copy that file somewhere else before editing it. When you've made all your additions go to the Miscellaneous tab in Tools->Game Settings dialog and set the Combatant Lookup File to be your new file.

That is a bug. I'll add a tracker for it.

Hmm :? , I believe I will wait for the editor.

This will be fixed in the next 1.1 release
