    I want to make a "Plug In" for the Modern Path, but I am new to this. Where is the best place to start?

    What do you mean by "Plug in"? Do you want to make a custom rule set that includes: classes, feats, spells, skills, markers, status icons? Or, do you want to make an extension (developed in Java) that plugs-in to d20Pro providing some elements you can send to the game log? Or something completely different?

    Here are the links

    A rule set is what I want to do. I have been looking around and I don't know if it's possible because the way the base class is set up. I made it for Hero Labs, but I really don't know where to start.

    Here is the SRD

    Take a look at our help documentation to custom develop your own rule set:
    http://www.d20pro.com/help/UGCPClass.php
    http://www.d20pro.com/help/UGCPSkill.php
    http://www.d20pro.com/help/UGCPFeat.php
    http://www.d20pro.com/help/UGCPSpell.php

    Also take a look at the current standard rule set to see how it is organized under ManuallySpecified directory inside your campaign folder. Then after you create a base rule set, we can host it on Google Code where the community can help keep it updated.

    I have a pretty solid data set already done for PF:modern if you'd like it

    actually there should be a thread on here with the skills, feats already..

    Hey, sorry but here comes the first question, lol

    What is the best way to do this:

    Heroics
    The Modern Hero picks an advancement path based on the six attributes. His chosen attribute has various effects on class advancement and his Hero Point score.
    Path of Heroes
    The chosen attribute will provide his Hit Dice, Skill Ranks per Level, Base Attack Bonus, and Saving Throws to the Modern Hero class.

    This is what I started with, is this correct?

    ## CLASS: MODERNHEROPATHOFSTRENGTH
    CreatureClass=ModernHeroPathofStrength
    AttackRate=1
    GoodSaves=Fort

    I have the Hero Lab dataset working for the Modern Path. When you export it to d20pro, will the above script understand the Hero Lab export?

    This is what the Hero Lab Export looks like:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

    The Class value in this line is what the ##CLASS and CreatureClass must equal or you will get an importer error in the creature's notes and the Base Attack Bonus will not be calculated correctly.

    hum, well that's kind of a bummer. The class has a user choice of attack and saves. IDK if it will work then.

    IDk, but maybe I can get Hero Lab to out a different class name based on what is chosen. Let me see if that might work.

    Well, I couldn't get HL to rename the class. So will this work: Just have the class set up with all the attacks and saves as low and if a character is imported, it can be adjusted within d20pro. I know that's not ideal, but I don't see another way at this moment.

    Got it!
    What I did was make a new archetype with just the name and bootstrapped it to the custom ability and it works with no errors for two archetypes!

    This the output, so it should work! Yea!

    <keyvalue id="Class" value="Modern Hero Path of Strength 1"/>

    So should the script be:

    ## CLASS: MODERNHEROPATHOFSTRENGTH
    CreatureClass=ModernHeroPathofStrength
    AttackRate=1
    GoodSaves=Fort

    I think I have the class done. I believe I will have to go back and add the archetypes with spell casting. I also made the changes in the Hero Lab dataset, but before I upload the update, I want to get all the d20pro info working in case I need to change something else.

    Still going through and comparing the Hero Lab dataset and the d20pro txt file. I think I got all the skills and languages done.
