HeroScribe Icon Packs

[joec]

Sigh. I overwrote my previous HeroScribe files with the new All-in-one, and now the bloody thing errors out on start-up.

[Derfel Link]

Hey Joe I'm sorry to hear that, what kind of error is popping out?
If you can be more accurate I'm sure we'll find a solution.

Easiest solution, delete the entire HeroScribe folder and begin anew with the All-in-One. If you have maps saved in the HeroScribe folder, be sure to copy them elsewhere as a backup.

Please note I'm working at including every icon and game board in the All-In-One Icon Pack, so you might want to wait for and use that.

And here it is! The All-In-One Icon Pack for HeroScribe is now including every icon and board from all the Icon Packs available, featuring 1000+ icons and 10+ boards.
When you want to switch boards, choose the one you would like to use in HeroScribe and copy the Objects.xml file of the board folder then replace the original one from the HeroScribe folder.
Say you want to use the Dragon Strike City board, just copy "/HeroScribe/Boards/Dragon Strike City/Objects.xml" and paste it in "/HeroScribe".
To switch back to the original HeroQuest gameboard, just copy "/HeroScribe/Boards/HeroQuest/Objects.xml" in "/HeroScribe".
Please note that in "/HeroScribe/Boards" are shown previews for all the boards available in HeroScribe (board tile size is shown in the filename).
Cheers

Is it possible to install multiple instances of HS with each board installed, so I don't need to manually copy stuff each time? I usually mess thing up that way

[Derfel Link]

Of course you can, let's say you want two HeroScribe: first one will use the Dragon Quest board, second one the Egyptian board.

Make two copies of the HeroScribe folder, let's say you name the first HeroScribeDragonQuest, second HeroScribeEgyptian.
Then copy HeroScribeDragonQuest/Boards/Dragon Quest/Objects.xml to HeroScribeDragonQuest/ and HeroScribeEgyptian/Boards/Egyptian/Objects.xml to HeroScribeEgyptian/.

That's it, when you want the Dragon Quest board you start up from /HeroScribeDragonQuest.

Fantastic! I'm gonna try that Thanks!

I take it the Dragon Strike game needs 4 seperate installations then, because of the 4 boards?

edit: yup. but the objects.xml copying trick is actually pretty easy

I just did this, and it didn't work.
"The Java JAR file "HeroScribe.jar" could not be launched"


I checked the console on my Mac, and this is what I got:

3/4/12 9:08:21.156 PM [0x0-0x65065].com.apple.JarLauncher: java.lang.Exception: Can't load all PNG icons.

...and now with a fresh install of the HeroScribe software, I can't open my map that I was working on.

I think I'll take this to email or PM until we get a fix figured out. Derfel, I will create a video tonight and send you a link to it so you can see what's going on.

This is just what I need, been needing some more icons for Heroscribe.
After a couple of failed attempts I've got it to work and its pure brilliance.
Very excited about making some new maps.

Derfel Link this is one awesome job you've done here. Many thanks

I figured out my issue: My Mac was overwriting folders instead of merging them, so image files were inaccurately being referenced, which caused my issues.
