Community Bestiary add-on
The Community has been hard at work creating adventure path and 3PP monsters. I have combined all these different books into one large data set to make things easier on those using the data sets and those creating the data sets. This will also make future updates easier.
So after installing this data set you will have a large number of books that can be check marked in the
Configure Your Hero window listed under the "
Hero Lab Community" section. Please note that not EVERY book is fully inputted at this time.
I have integrated this data set in a way that will make the process work almost exactly the same as how you currently get official updates from Hero Lab. This feature is called
Updates and is VERY easy to setup. After setup you can simply download and import future enhancements to the data set automatically and you will be notified on HL start up when an update is available.
Instructions on using the HL Updates feature
1) Please see
THIS pdf document located on Chiefweasel's site. It will go over the couple steps needed to setup the
Updates feature.
2) The URL listed in the document above is for the d20 project so please use the following instead:
Code:
http://www.shadowsoftware.net/herolab/d20pfsrd/updates.xml
3) The download/update you are looking for after HL restarts is called the
"Community Bestiary (vX.X)".
Additional HL Packages Required
To be able to use this data set several different official HL data sets are required. Maybe this will change in the future but for now this data set
WILL NOT LOAD without these official packages. The latest packages list will always be displayed at the time of import but as of 1/2/2012 the list is:
CORE, Bestiary, Bestiary 2, APG, Gods & Magic (Campaign Setting #1).
Current List of what is in the Data Set as of 1/2/2012
Adventure Paths:- Carrion Crown - Contains all the Bestiary monsters and chapter 1 NPCs from the Carrion Crown AP.
- Council of Thieves - NPCs and Bestiary for Chapter 1,2,3,4 of Council of Thieves.

Hopefully the community finds this useful.
