Hey guy's,

I'm a long time user of the Community Pack (great work by the way) but I'm recently having a hard time downloading the content from the usual link (www.shadowsoftware.net/herolab/5e/updates.xml) on 2 different iPad I provide to my players. The Xml looks fine, but the content is never downloading.

Any hint?

Yeah I just tried and the iPad keeps crashing trying to download. I don’t think it has anything to do with the download itself as it works on the desktop. The iPad app changes recently have made the app very touchy.

I will put in an official bug report about the issue and see what LW says...

Even if I had to edit some files or something of the sort, I'd love it if someone could point me at a tutorial. Thanks a bunch.
I'm also wondering how to do this, since my DM is going to allow me to take a Blink Dog as my Animal Companion. Can't quite figure out where the options for Animal Companion are located or find a data file containing Blink Dog to copy...

Herolab update 8.7.3 seems to have fixed the problem. Thanks ShadowChemosh!

So something seems to have happened to my Hero Lab. The Community Pack (and my custom packs) are not longer showing up in the Configure Hero option screen. The Community Pack has been downloaded, and all the files are located in
C:\ProgramData\Hero Lab\data\5e, but Hero lab does not seem to be reading them.

What might be the cause of this?

The most common reason is your getting an error on load. Once HL gets an error it loads in safe mode and will not load any .user files.

Do you have any of your own .user files that could have an error?

I just want to thank everyone involved for their work in creating and maintaining this Community Pack. I am finally able to create my Adventurer's League character, an Arcane Archer, and carry my iPad to the game store/or print out character record sheets.

I think I have found a bug. Because I don't use Gethub I cannot create a new bug report.

Recreation of bug
Use the Background Folk Hero

Creates the Gear item "Land Vehicles" { Unique ID (gVehLandH) } with no description text.

This item is not meant to be an actual object, but a proficiency to use Vehicles (Land) and listed under tools simular to { gTooMason } and { gTooSmith }.

Please note, I might have watched a few videos, but no idea where or how to fix this ^.^

I know I'm a little late coming into 5e and how this package was built, but is there any way to be a bit more granular on being albe to exclude content based on Source?

There are a lot of items with multiple published sources -- and having the ability to selectively include/exclude certain books would be extremely helpful.
