errors when loading stock?

[Pollution]

Anyone else see errors when trying to load stock heroes?

Example: Just got into PF, setting up a portfolio for the First AP (Rise of the Runelords). Started off by loading a goblin warrior (Misc Monster??? I can't figure out where to find these things, hahaha). Load up just 1 Gobo to see how the output looks (first time running PF, just bought a ton of addons for HL, so I'm learning the new interface).

I get an error, here's the report from the appdata file:

Pick 'raKPInfDip' has been orphaned due to missing thing in batch '51'
Pick 'raKPUndDip' has been orphaned due to missing thing in batch '51'
Pick 'raKPScaDip' has been orphaned due to missing thing in batch '51'
Pick 'raKPGnoSpe' has been orphaned due to missing thing in batch '51'
Pick 'raKPSteLan' has been orphaned due to missing thing in batch '51'
Pick 'raKPSilSpe' has been orphaned due to missing thing in batch '51'
Pick 'raKPStatus' has been orphaned due to missing thing in batch '53'
Pick 'raKPStatSt' has been orphaned due to missing thing in batch '53'
Chained pick 'xImmDeath' has been orphaned due to missing bootstrap in batch '517'
Chained pick 'xImmAbDmP' has been orphaned due to missing bootstrap in batch '517'
Pick 'xFGDRGdMag' has been orphaned due to missing thing in batch '642'
Pick 'xFGDamRdCM' has been orphaned due to missing thing in batch '643'

I Have less and less of this error messages after i have buyed more packages.

That can't be it, can it?

I have:

PF Core
Beastiary 1-3 bundle
APG
Ultimate Combat

The Goblin is in the first beastiary. So... why the error message?

Pollution, what you're seeing is a bug, and it is not related to what packages you own. PLEASE report bugs using the link in the stickied thread at the top of this forum.

(This one's already been reported, so there's not a need to report it again).

Awesome! well, bugs aren't' awesome, but at least I know it's not a case of me needing to shell out another $10-20 to run my son and his friends through Rise of the Runelords (just spent $200 getting them all good to go with books, pawns, dice and Hero Lab data files).

I would assume (as having looked over the resulting sheet it looks legit) that regardless of bugs, the imported NPC is just fine and dandy to use (i.e. correct stats). What I was really worried about with the error was the combat tracker and similar.

Thanks Mathias!

Something to look at is the "Community Bestiary" that has all the monsters from the AP done for you. Better still the actual encounters are all done and ready for import.

1) To use the CB setup the new download link following the instructions HERE.
2) Download and install the CB through Hero Lab. This will include a readme document located in your "My Documents\Hero Lab\portfolios\pathfinder\Community Beistary\"
3) Download the encounter files from d20pfsrd website. The zip files located in the "Community Bestiary NPCs" folder are all meant to be used with the "Community Bestiary". These contain the pre-made encounter .por files.

Yeah, I did see that, but I have the community player pack, which is incompatible with the bestiary (I thought). besides, I don't have Ultimate Magic installed

The community player pack and the community bestiary are incompatible because everything in the player pack is also included in the bestiary, so if you delete the player pack and add the bestiary, you won't lose anything.

Ahh, that makes more sense now. Though, still missing ultimate magic

I believe the reference to needing some of the other packages is that, when opening some of the stock portfolios, if a creature uses something from a data set you do not have, you will get some error messages. If you are not trying to use the creatures that have these references, the others should still work (just as the Goblins you see now look ok despite the error messages).
