.por files for H&V I?

[JDRook]

I actually have a dropbox account already. Giving out a link would likely be the easiest system.

Okay, I've got it all together. This should be all of the Heroes & Villains from both volumes, plus the minions and animals from the back of the second volume. Right-click to save it, or it may come out as html. It's a bit messy, but it should be complete, and in any case it should easily save you days worth of typing. There may be a few bits and pieces of my own stuff in there, mostly mods to existing characters in my attempt to customize them to my liking. Rather than painstakingly fishing them out I'm just dropping the whole package.

It's about 35MB, and on my machine takes about a minute to load, so be patient. I've saved it as a .stock file in the hopes of using it like the other stock portfolios included with HeroLab's M&M modules, but I haven't been able to figure out how to make it visible in the Stock list. It still works exactly like a .por file, so you can still use it to import and export individual or groups of heroes. I would recommend exporting heroes out into separate portfolios of no larger than 20-30 so they are a little easier to navigate. Divide up how you see fit (by letter, by team, by series, whatever).

Happy Gaming!

So I downloaded this into my desktop, but when I try to open it, a window pops up saying that it can't be opened and that Windows needs to know what program created it. What am I doing wrong here? Any tech literate folks out there able to help?

[SeeleyOne]

I downloaded it, and it works great. Thanks!

As for opening it on the file, try loading up the Hero Lab first, and then open the file by choosing "Open File" (from the window when Hero Lab opens up into Mutants and Masterminds 3) or "Open Portfolio" (from the Files menu).

To make it show up in the stock portfolio list, just drop it in the ProgramData folder (by default C:\ProgramData\Hero Lab\data\mutants3).

As regards opening it up, HeroLab should be set to open .stock portfolios by itself. If not, try opening HeroLab and then selecting the .stock file (Use File/Open Portfolio and navigate to the correct directory. It automatically detects the .stock files).

Got it! Thanks for the help! And thanks for all that work!!

[JDRook]

Glad it's working. And now that I have that stock file in the right folder, it's a lot faster to scan through names to quickly build up teams. Thanks, Fuzzy!

Awesome! Thanks a lot!

Edit: now we just need to get them for Vol 2..... at least my download didn't include them...

That's not right. There's only one link and everybody else is getting all of them. It's a long list, you are getting down past L, right?

[Roman Virtue]

Yeah, I was able to get the whole list it looks like. I just did a quick scan, it goes from a-z, though I did wonder a bit looking for Zsasz (listed last in the pdf), then found him under "V". Again, I can't say thank you enough!

AWESOME! I meant the H&V vol 2 didn't include them. I didn't have a chance to install the file into Hero Lab yet and I assumed that as per the topic name, it was just those from vol 1.

Yeah, the alphabetizing gets tricky. I know I did "Atom, The" a few times to get all 3 Atoms near the beginning. I also had Swamp Thing's Abby Holland first until I just wrote it as "Swamp Thing - Abby Holland". Jervis Tetch is the Mad Hatter again and Constantine, John keeps our favourite hellraiser easier to find. Prefixing group names can work, too, if you want to keep the files in roughly the same order as the book.

Oh, I didn't even notice the 1 in the title. For what I wanted, I needed everybody in one shot, so that was the easy file to share.

Just harnessing my OCD for the betterment of the gaming community.

Thanks again JD, I installed them after I made the post and skimmed through, it just gets better and better

[JDRook]

Now that that's done I'm considering going through all the characters and retooling them based on the Power Profile material. Give Aquaman the "Self-Powered" limit on his marine life Summons and maybe a Swarm of small fish for other effects. Clean up the Possession Power on Deadman and Jericho, maybe use some of the Talent stuff on the non-powered heroes. Things like that.

[Dragonblade]

Great work! I added it to my HeroLab install and it worked great.

Now I just need Marvel stock builds from you, or Gazman, or Legend and I'll be set.
