Hero Lab 8.6 release

DaveM said:
I'm not able to replicate this behavior here. Is it possible you had more than one Hero Lab instance running at the time? Is anyone else seeing this issue?

Nope, only the one instance. I loaded HL, and used the built-in updater to try to update to 8.6b. I ran into this issue when updating to 8.6a as well, and it was fixed the same way. Downloading the installer from the website, then running the installer instead. Both times I had only opened one instance of HL to check/perform updates.
 
Posting to say that I had the .exe file issue as well.

I ended up using the setup tool from when I downloaded hero lab to get it back, and then I was able to update with no errors.
 
Ran a game yesterday and getting quite a few errors when accessing content that originated from Realm Works. Need to do further testing to confirm the cause though.
 
With 8.6 increasing the ID limit to 20 characters, I have a couple of questions. :)

1) Does anyone know if there is a simple way to increase/expand existing ids?
2) Does the 20 character limit apply to Group names for Tags?
3) Does the 20 character limit apply to component/compset ids as well?

Thanks!

1) it would be the same as any other time you wanted to change the Id you're using for a tag - you'll need to replace all uses of it at the same time.

2) yes
3) yes

After I updated to the latest Mac client today, the system thinks I have tried to reassigned my license too early and is only running in demo mode. I sent in an email but I can't wait up to 3 days to have this fixed, I have a game session coming up soon. Anyone have any ideas?

Unless they are at a convention they are usually very quick to respond.

I found that leaving the old tags alone keeps from causing problems with random portfolios you might forget to update.

However, I also found that Notepad++ has a nice little tool where you can replace all occurrences of a string in multiple files at once. You can hit Ctrl+Shift+F to "Find in Files..." You can set up your search string, replacement string and even set a filter to *.user files and even set a restriction to only search a single directory. I'm pretty sure it does this without having to download a plugin either.

EditPad Pro is what I use, and it has the same feature. I don't know if the Lite version does, as well.
 
I just updated my Hero Lab to 8.6b and when I start the program there is an error and none of the community-created stuff shows up. In particular the Pathfinder Pack does not work. Any ideas?

Or if necessary, can you tell me how to roll back to a previous version that the Pack worked with? I use the program's built in update function by the way.

I need to see the errors to help. You can select and copy all the errors from the window and past into this thread.

Just FYI I have the latest community pack and versions of HL running without issues. Do you have any other addons installed?
