I think jbear was saying that he went into some of the files and changed those specific things. Perhaps they were things in some files jbear created that are a conflict with these Savage Rifts files. The main question is do you have any other data files besides Savage Rifts loaded? If so there is likely a conflict someplace. To be more specific the problem here is that you have different data files on your system that reference things with the names you listed. In other words you have 2 different data files that that "arcSRDGPSY" listed in both of them and HL doesn't know how to handle that since that is what is called a "Unique ID" meaning that there should only ever be 1 of them... and you have 2.

By the general naming convention most authors use the first part of the name "arc" would suggest that those are Arcane Bacgrounds. The next 2 character is usually the setting name. Obviously one of those settings the SR stands for "Savage Rifts". Do you have another setting on your system that SR might be initials for? Like, I don't know, "Space Rangers" or something that might make sense?

If so then you would probably need to ask the authors of both of those data files to see if they could work out some unique identifiers between them to ensure there are no conflicts like that.

This kind of situation is why it is very important to note if you are getting any errors to say exactly what those errors are so folks can figure out exactly what the problem might be.
