Hi all, search of the forums turns up nothing specific to this situation. I've watched Daplunk's videos for tips, but this isn't addressed, near as I can tell.
I bought the Strange Aeons AP for HL, and I want to prep it in RW. I'd like to have the rooms set up with the HL portfolio in place to click as a link to head right into HL and tactical console. I can't seem to figure out how to do so. When I make a snippet for a HL portfolio, or a scene portfolio, it only allows me to load from file. I can't locate a file with the encounter library to pick a specific encounter out. Do I have to go through the whole encounter library in HL and save them all as individual portfolios so I can then load from file? If so, it removes some of the shine from buying the encounter library and using both programs to make the table run smoother. I'm concerned I have overlooked an easy way to do this and am looking for a little guidance.

Ok add a HL snippet. Go into edit mode and a button appears on the snippet to create new content. When clicked it opens up hero lab. Add monsters to the Hero Lab app and once finished simply close hero lab.

It's kinda covered in my working with custom monsters video starting at about 7 minutes. Just instead of creating a custom monster you just add as many as you want in the encounter using what ever option you like within HL.

There is no edit button. I also don't get the same HL icon as you show in your videos. I get a blue head silhouette with a little HL beaker. No edit button. Just a folder icon and the drop down load from file and paste from clipboard options.

Is the article within Realm Works in edit mode? Not just the snippet.

That icon makes me query if Hero Labs is being recognised as installed.

Go into Hero lab and create a portfolio. Save it and see what happens when you add it manually. Does that trigger the ability to edit?

And yes, I'm using version 1.0.1055.215. I made sure I was up to date.

It sure doesn't work to go to HL. I can see the statblock(and it is correct in all details for the paladin I borrowed for the test), but when I try and "Open within Herolab" it lists "Unnamed hero [no file]" and then says "Unable to integrate the external object" and halts. Interesting. Also, no ability to edit.
Imported the character in question from the encounter library, saved the .por file. Linked it in a new HL Portfolio snippet, saved and tried to open, same behaviour, although it identified "Winter Klazcka" [no file] and throws the same error message and halts. Did some poking, looks like Herolab is not in my registry for windows. Doesn't show up in the uninstall list, doesn't exist for any real purposes as far as windows is concerned. Reinstalling now, we'll see if that makes for a happier life. Too bad I also nuked my RW installation. To the downloads! Fixed the issue. Thanks for the help Daplunk. Reinstall registered it in the windows registry, RW is playing nice.
