I made some changes to my main file and now its broken... I can't get back into pathfinder to be able to fix it.
*edit* So I moved my files out of the fold reloaded hl then put my files back and it seems to have fixed the issue... Last edited by Agyess; October 29th, 2017 at 07:39 PM. |

If worse comes to worst, you can always backup the pathfinder folder, delete it, and re-download the core system. Then you can re-add the community pack. Then you can re-add your custom content from your backups.
It's also a good idea to make backups of your custom content before you start changing things, so you can always revert to a working state. And in the same manner that the community packs all start with COM_, you can give your own files a different prefix to identify them as your own, and to keep them all grouped when sorting by name. |

ultimately #1 is what I did, though I didn't have to redownload just remove the offending files... whats strange is that it worked fine when I put the files back and restarted (x2 once to bases state and then back). But it didn't get fix when just restarting.
#3 is something I do, but I'm also thinking I need to keep like changes in different files instead of all in one giant one. #2 is something I always think about ... after I have broken something! thanks |

I am going to assume here and lets see if I am right. You where working in the editor with your own files. But you have the Community Pack installed. You where using Test Now! And suddenly got a list of errors that look like this:
Code:
File: COM_3PPPack_PathOfWar - Tags.1st (line 81) - Tag Group 'mDescript' - Referenced tag group 'sDescript' does not exist File: COM_3PPPack_PathOfWar - Tags.1st (line 91) - Tag Group 'mLevel' - Referenced tag group 'sLevel' does not exist File: COM_3PPPack_PathOfWar - Tags.1st (line 129) - Tag Group 'mSave' - Referenced tag group 'sSave' does not exist File: COM_3PPPack_PathOfWar - Tags.1st (line 204) - Tag Group 'PWActNRG' - Referenced tag group 'PriElement' does not exist File: COM_3PPPack_UltimatePsionics - Tags.1st (line 46) - Tag Group 'PathSkill' - Referenced tag group 'ClassSkill' does not exist File: COM_3PPPack_UltimatePsionics - Tags.1st (line 89) - Tag Group 'PsicrystID' - Referenced tag group 'ClassSkill' does not exist File: COM_BasicPack - Tags.1st (line 194) - Tag Group 'DamAbil' - Referenced tag group 'AttrDamage' does not exist Just wanted to let you know you didn’t do anything wrong and nothing to do but shut down HL and restart it.

@Shadow I had that happen to me last yesterday. (Exactly the circumstances you mention) It had me quite confused, but I restarted and things were fine. I'm pleased to learn that its "known".
