I was wondering if the menu might have been driven by the content of the objects.xml file. I too had been wondering whether it was possible to change the board layout to something else other than the original board (not so much room tiles). I figured you could just swap the rasters and I guess find a program to edit the EPS.
The way to add things to HeroScribe, whether they be boards or icons, is to edit Objects.xml. The easiest way to do it would be to copy the code for a different board and edit it to reference your new board instead of whatever it was looking at originally. So for example, lines 113-116 of my Objects.xml file:
- Code: Select all
<board name="Advanced HeroQuest" width="50" height="50" borderDoorsOffset="0.08" adjacentBoardsOffset="-0.5">
<icon region="Europe" path="Europe/AdvancedHeroQuestBoard_EU" />
<icon region="USA" path="USA/AdvancedHeroQuestBoard_US" />
</board>
If I wanted to add, say, "Count Mohawk's Custom Board", I would copy this code down one line and change it so it read like this instead:
- Code: Select all
<board name="Count Mohawk's Custom Board" width="28" height="19" borderDoorsOffset="0.08" adjacentBoardsOffset="-0.5">
<icon region="Europe" path="Europe/MohawkBoard_EU" />
<icon region="USA" path="USA/Mohawk_US" />
</board>
...and, of course, make sure that the image files I was pointing it at were named and located in the appropriate place, as designated by their "path".
