Kingmaker Campaign

.por files are used in herolab.
.por = portfolio file.
herolab can output files in a d20pro format but it would be labled as. D20pro or something like that.

 

Sorry I haven't been able to make the d20pro files. I got a unexpected promotion and am working 10-12 hrs right now until I train my replacement and move over to my new position. I am barely able to keep my games up to date. I have cheeseweasel's files and while I am playing a game tomorrow, I can export them to d20pro format. These may not be fully correct and you will probably have to add info to them, but it is better than nothing.

 

I'm just starting a kingmaker campaign, and would love anything anyone can send me (or the links) for d20Pro. I downloaded the first 4 books of NPC's on Cheeseweasel as suggested, but the maps would be really appreciated. I'm new to d20Pro and am still trying to figure out how everything works, so not much luck in inputting custom stuff or making maps (yet).

 

The maps are easy for the ones that are provided with the PDF. Just use Adobe Acrobat Reader version 8 and click on the map and copy. Then open GIMP paste the file using CTRL-SHIFT-V. Then do a google search for MapScaleTool. Open this in Excel or LibreOffice Calc. Type in the size of the map from GIMP(i.e. 640x409) into the first two cells. Type in the size of the squares you want(I normally use 50px, but some use 100px). Then, in the next set of cells either retype the size again if the grid goes from upper left corner to bottom right or if not use the selection tool in GIMP and select a square grid as large as you can that encompasses the grid. Make sure the selection lines up to the grid as close as possible so your end numbers are not off. Then count the squares in your grid left to right and type in how many and do the same top to bottom. MapScaleTool will now tell you the size to scale your image to. In GIMP go to Scale Image and type in the numbers and press enter. I then turn on the grid on the view menu and configure the grid to see if the grid in GIMP lines up to the grid on the map. If not, tweak the scale by two pixels until the grid lines up. It sounds intimidating, but after practice, I can do a map in about a minute.
As for the maps that are not included, here are my suggestions. Dunjinni's forums have some good maps, Cartographers Guild is another and I also use PyMapper which is good for most of the indoors style maps and some of the outdoorsy maps. Hope that helps!

 

I'm still having trouble with the program. I can't seem to import from Herolabs. I go to Library - Creature Library - Import - Herolab and it is looking for files with .hld20pro extension, but the Herolab files are .por what am I missing here?

 

When you have herolab, you can choose to export in a .hld20pro format.
.por is only for herolab.

For you to import a file (from herolab) to D20PRO, it needs to have been exported from herolab to the .hld20pro format.

So if you do not have herolab, you will have to wait until someone does that for you and posts it.

Got it?

 

Got it. I didn't realize I had to export in a different format from Herolabs, I thought d20Pro just use the default and imported it.

 

Herolab's .por files do not contain all the information, a lot is calculated or looked up from data files.

Therefore Herolabs goes ahead and compiles the information d20Pro needs and puts it in a file so we can import it.

 

Here is Stolen Lands(NOTE: This is very raw data. I took CheeseWeasels data set and exported to d20Pro format. No extra futzing. So if someone is willing to make better, I can upload them.):

Akiros Ismort.hld20pro
Tickbiter (Arcane Familiar).hld20pro
Tickleback.hld20pro
Tyg-Titter-Tut.hld20pro
Ubagub.hld20pro
Davik Nettles.hld20pro
Devan from Nisroch.hld20pro
Giant Whiptail Centipede.hld20pro
Happs Bydon.hld20pro
Kressle.hld20pro
Nugrah the Decrepit.hld20pro
Perlivash.hld20pro
Tartuk.hld20pro
The Stag Lord.hld20pro
Auchs.hld20pro
Bandits with Happs Bydon.hld20pro
Chief Sootscale.hld20pro

 

Woot! This is awesome. Thank you so much.

 

Would anyone happen to have the Kingmaker maps ready to load into d20Pro? I'm having a hell of a time getting the maps to import correctly, the grids refuse to match up. Thanks.

 

I tried following Neofax's walk through but found it incredibly confusing. I didn't understand at all how to come by anything past Step 1.

 

@entropyrat: I just posted a CamStudio video to the other thread. If you need more help, I can setup a small class showing how it is done. I can setup my desktop so people can remote in and watch how I do it. I have plenty experience running two Pathfinder Adventure Path campaigns and DMing PFS scenario pretty much every week along with when my kids want to play.

 

Well I was looking for a done D20pro module to download but yeah good luck on that lol. However, in my infinite wisdom i've gone and done that for myself I figure if anyone would like a complete module with monsters and maps you can click my link below for the first module. Its my first attempt so be gentle on me. The creatures are located on the boggard lair map. They're not perfect but hey it should save you all some time.

Thanks if you have any requests for modules in the future email me Baneheart at g mail. com

 

Actually working on book 2 right now, so if you're lucky I might actually have the maps for you by either tomorrow or the day after. Hey if anyone does any campaigns in d20 if you can send me what you create or make I can share it with the community in the future maybe we can get every single campaign in D20pro and make most of the other DM's lives easier. I'll work on em and put them in zip files for everyone to use.

I'd even take things from campaigns I've already put together cause it just might be an improvement. So if you have somethings fromt he first campaign I'd like that maybe it'll help in the future.

Thanks,
Banenight
