Der eigene Charaktergenerator

one Wolf Development haben kurz vor der Zusammenarbeit mit MindGene, nicht nur ihren Charakter Generator Hero Lab auf die Version 3 gehieft sondern ebenso den Authoring Kit veröffentlicht. Mit diesem ist es möglich Hero Lab für jedes Rollenspiel umzuschreiben. Eine Dokumentation zeigt wie man Hero Lab für das Rollenspiel seiner Wahl aufbohrt. Mitgeliefert wird ausserdem als Beispiel-Regelwerk die Kern-Regeln von Pinnacle Entertainments Savage Worlds. Um „deinen“ Charaktergenerator zu schreiben solltest du schon ein wenig fit in der Auszeichnungssprache XML sein, obwohl die Dokumentation und auch die *.xml Datei gut aufgebaut und kommentiert ist.
Dazu heißt es:

Note: Although all users will be able to view the new ’sample game system‘ and any game systems created with the Authoring Kit, Hero Lab will operate in demo mode with those games unless you purchase the „Authoring Kit / Savage Worlds“ data package.)

PLEASE NOTE! The Authoring Kit, and the Savage Worlds data files, are NOT YET COMPLETE. The documentation for the Authoring Kit still needs to be updated, and the Savage Worlds data files still need a few days work. However, after consultation with our beta testers, we decided that it was better to release this incomplete version, then update it later – that gives any users of the Authoring Kit an extra few weeks during the holidays to start learning it.

The d20, Mutants & Masterminds and World of Darkness game systems have not had any major updates yet, due to the fallout from the hack we discovered last week. These will be updated in the coming weeks.

As always, you can download Hero Lab 3.0 through the updates mechanism, or from our website.

If you’re interested in using the Authoring Kit to work on new games, you can find searchable work-in-progress documentation here: http://hlkitwiki.wolflair.com/

A new forum for discussion of the Authoring Kit has been created here. Please post any questions or comments about it in that forum.

Once again, PLEASE NOTE! The Authoring Kit, and the Savage Worlds data files, are NOT YET COMPLETE. More complete versions will be released in the upcoming weeks.

Happy gaming and Happy holidays!
