@ren1999: Dragging sadly bot supported by hero lab. Encounter/Monster stuff: supported as in the acreenshots i posted above but no monsters entered yet. A virtual table is beyond the scope though and not possible with hero lab. What is possible is interfacing with realms works. Btw did you read...

Getting something perfect is not the mistake I think (actually I agree with them there). The mistake is trying to reinvent the wheel. When they announced Project Morningstar Realms Works was already short before release - so why not work together and save development cost? And Hero Lab has been...

If monetisation would be the issue the most clever thing would be to give a licence to Lone Wolf, Lone Wolf could take my code (which I had offered for the case that they get a licence) and still the same week something could be released, meaning the licence would give back money to WotC...

Having not everything on that list is only relevant if you think there should be only one tool. No monopoly means better software quality in released tools, also. When I started to write the Hero Lab implementation, BTW, it was definitely NOT "let's do a concurrence to Dungeon Scape". I...

Even then I have to dsiagree. I agree more developers might have been able to do it FASTER and maybe make the UI look a bit nicer, but from the pure features, not much could be perfectionied any more ;-) (Yeah, maybe one thing - as of now only one class per character is allowed, multiclassing...

Thanks for pointing this out ;-) Countless hours went down there to implement this. My todo list is now down to 9 items (it used to be really large...). I have to tell though I *am* a pro. Software engineer with 15 years of professional experience (5 years of which in computer games development...

There are two ways - the stuff based on the Authoring Kit like my D&D 5e stuff is fully readable (plain text). But it seems there is some converter program (which is only available to Lone Wolf themselves) which converts it into some custom, non-readable format. For example the Pathfinder module...

Believe me it is more than just a proof of concept. For example my code is doing several things better than other released datafiles for Hero Lab. For the case that Lone Wolf acquires a licence for 5e the offer stands that they can get my complete datafiles (without charge) so they can release...

The problem is dummy content without the logic handling the calculations for attack bonus etc - which probably would mean ip infringment if released is worthless the major part of the work was implementing how various feats effect the character sheet for example that a lore bard can choose more...

License issues also exist for basic game that the pdf is free does not remove intellectual property. The framework without content? First it is very hard to separate content from the maths for the content. For example the archer fighting style is for one the text snippet describing the fighting...

Umbran: i fully agree with you. Even if it isvery frustrating for me I will not give out any of the stuff I wrote. I will try to talk with WotC on the issue though and discuss if there would be possibilities regarding a license. I do not have much hope regarding this discussion though...

If I overdo this "it's for personal use", on the Hero Lab forum the people of Hero Lab asked me that if I post screenshots somewhere I should make this clear so there is no confusion about it (though I really would like to at one point get an official licence for it ;-) ) How hard it is to...

Interesting, we have two totally different design philosophy's in our GUI it seems. Both have their advantages. And you have the nicer art, while my sheets are more "functional" ^^ You have the complete text descriptions in, while my project calculates everything (damage and attack values for...

Ah and just noticed that the GUI gave an error about Dex too low for Monk ;-) I was a bit fast when clicking together. But the GUI *did* give an error about it, I just ignored it. And again: This is just a private freetime project. The people who do Hero Lab have NOTHING to do with it. And it...

Sorry, if the character in the screenshot does not really make sense, just clicked together. Also the Non-Bard spells come from Magical Secrets, Multiclass:Monk and Magic Initiate:Warlock, in case someone wonders ;-)
