If there are any updates there that you know you don't want, move your finger from right-to-left across that update, and a delete button will be revealed.

If you're not sure, give us the list so we can tell you what to delete, or how to update the rest.

I deleted "the modern path" and that fixed my issue. thank you!

I just have to ask a "stupid" question. If you are not using Modern why do you have it installed? Did you use it at one time and are no longer playing in a Modern game?

Thanks all the great advice!

Take a look at FAQ#8 to fix these sort of issues after removing an addon/package. You will need to do this on Windows/Mac computer.

I think a lot of people have the modern files installed because they were our first user-created major add-on, so we gave them a spot in the automatic updater.

Because they were in the automatic updater, there were a lot of users who just downloaded everything that's there, and ended up with the Modern files - it's even easier on the iPad - there were only two update options listed, so I think a lot of people just installed both.

Eventually (I think it was a year or so ago), we decided to remove the modern files from our own updater, and let the community files handle those, but there's nothing in Hero Lab that prompts people to remove them, and they're no longer automatically receiving updates after that. Now, in the most recent update, there was a change in the Pathfinder files to improve a piece of the editor, and that change means that a bad way of coding something that was used in the modern files is now a forbidden way to code things. That's why the error is popping up now.


P.S. The change that was made was; if you chose specific weapons to grant proficiency in, for a class, for example, the list of weapons to choose from included many things that didn't belong there, like every type of ammunition, all the specific weapons, and all the headers, which cluttered up the list. Now, ammunition, specific weapons, and headers no longer generate WepProf tags. The Modern files had some cases where WepProf tags from weapons that were set as headers were being used in some fashion. Because those tags are no longer generated, it's no longer legal to use them, and that's the source of the errors.

@ShadowChemosh: back when ModernPath first came out I installed it to check out character creation, then never bothered to uninstall it. It's actually been the source of a couple of problems for me over the years in HL so I'm going to be uninstalling it for now, since our group is only doing PF at the moment.

Again, thanks everyone for the easy fix...I'm a little embarrassed I didn't think of it myself since I'm a software developer by trade. Guess it's like the plumber that never fixes his own house...

still getting errors

The data files could not be loaded due to errors. Hero Lab will now attempt to load them in recovery mode. Once loaded, you can access the editor as normal to correct any errors.

The following errors occurred:

Syntax error in 'eval' script for Thing 'cMPCHPsBd' (Eval Script '#1') on line 1
-> Tag 'WepProf.wMPCHPsBd' not defined

I installed the updates to the Community pack and it seems to work ok.
