Chemosh, could you combine the two demon files into one named "MM - Demon" before release for me?
When I tested the beta package I also got no errors. |

With some files being combined, does it make sense for users to remove any .user files they have first (or to select that option in the install page)? Obviously, personal custom .user files would need to be saved or copied somewhere for re-integration later as well.

This works the same as deleting the files. Hoping the end-user remember to click a button and remove their own .user files is asking too much. We will be flooded with bug reports. So the blank empty .user files will erase the old files. Personally I am not liking the idea by the other editors combined a bunch of different files together so have no choice now.

Also, I'd really like to see us consolidate down to at minimum 1 file per book or even better 1 file for all of our material? Am I the only one wanting this? ;-) With the multiple files, it makes it very difficult to get to a common footing. |

During the install the end-user could click on a button that will delete all .user files that where not updated by our import. Though that would mean any custom .user files are just GONE. And trust me very few people will read any warning or information we put out their regarding this. Plus if we expected them to do that and they didn't then their whole d20 game folder will hit duplicate thing errors and not work. Why I understand that it would be very easy for most people to be walked through this many will be very upset when they install an update that breaks stuff. Which will then give us the case of us being incompetent and not to trust our community updates. Not something I want to even chance given the amount of work that everyone puts into it. So having the empty files I think is the smoothest method of doing this for now. It would have made my life easier to have smaller number of files to make into the import file. But now no matter what we have to have empty files to add. So its all the same to me now.

I do agree 100% that trying not to break things and users tend to not make backups nor read release notes. |

And the next release will still have to have those empty files again as some one could be upgrading from 1.1 to say 1.4. Last thing is that the empty files have a little more than just the document tags. Here is an example of one going in with 1.3. Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <document signature="Hero Lab Data"> <fileinfo> <info_history> 2/15/2011 Tim Shadow -Combined together all Demons into the MM-Demons.user file. So this is left empty as of the 1.3 release. 12-29-10 Bootstrapped Type and Subtype, adjusted the way general specials work, added racial skill bonus, added start HP and also Innate skills chk6-24-10</info_history> <info_todo><![CDATA[Add the Tanar'ri Subtype]]></info_todo> </fileinfo> </document> Hero Lab Resources: Pathfinder - d20pfsrd and Pathfinder Pack Setup 3.5 D&D (d20) - Community Server Setup 5E D&D - Community Server Setup Hero Lab Help - Hero Lab FAQ, Editor Tutorials and Videos, Editor & Scripting Resources.
