It’s nearly time for Gen Con Indy! While we sadly can’t be there in person this year, we still have some fun things planned for users, both new and old—starting with today’s release of several exciting new features for Hero Lab Online.
You can read up on the features below while we get everything ready for another Free to Play convention period! Users will be able to sign in with any Hero Lab Online account (free or paid) from September 15th thru the 19th and test drive the full HLO experience with free-to-play content for Starfinder and Pathfinder 2nd Edition.
Spell Tabs
Spellcasters, meet your spellbooks! Many of our users have lamented the lack of easy-to-find dedicated spell areas in the past, and we’re happy to report we’ve added a Spells tab to solve this issue for current and future users. With the more obvious Spells tab, you can quickly move to your spells and make adjustments as needed. If you prefer the old location, not to worry, it’s available in both places.
Resizable Windows
Hero Lab Online’s browser-based character creation works on everything from tiny phones and tablets to large monitors, and just like device size is a personal choice, we feel panel size should be as well. A frequently requested ability, users will now be able to resize many of the windows to a size that best suits their needs!
Validation Supression
We’ve all had that moment in Hero Lab. You’re Gm grants you an epic rule-breaking ability, one more spell than you should “legally have”, or maybe you just can’t think of a 9th language your character could reasonably learn to speak. All of these scenarios generate the dreaded and colorful error messages meant to draw your attention. When we want to fix something, these are our helpful friends. When we don’t, they become the ever-growing annoyance that you have to stare out for the life of your character. Thanks to Validation suppression, those errors can now be sent off to their room where they belong! Dismiss something by accident or want to recall a warning later? You can go visit your suppressed notifications whenever you like and even reinstate them for good behavior!
Gear Tree
If you love lists and organized spaces, your new favorite tab is here! All your gear and containers in one convenient, easy to manage location. Swiftly determine what’s in your various receptacles, read descriptions, and move items around, all with far fewer clicks!
