Savage Settings data files

[CapedCrusader]

I'm the source for Hellfrost...

[Arlyansor]

Um, I can't get any settings to work either.

I've downloaded them several times, restarted Hero Lab several times, before and after I've downloaded the settings files, but nothing showing in the configuration.

Do I need to uninstall and re-install Hero Lab in it's entirety?

Thanks for any advice...

Did you do a non-standard install or something? Is this on a Mac or PC? Are we talking about using the normal updater to download Savage Settings or are these other settings you downloaded?

[CapedCrusader]

If no Settings are appearing, are you getting any error messages when the Savage Worlds module starts? Errors in any .user file will prevent all of them from loading.

[Arlyansor]

I've downloaded everything through the Hero Lab downloader.

This is for a PC, and I've had no real issues with Hero Lab before on anything I've downloaded.

When the Savage Worlds module starts, I get the following message:

"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.

Thing 'spcNELair' - Child entity 'SPCPower' does not exist
Thing 'vhNEASeaho' - Bootstrap thing 'wpTorpedo' does not exist
Another SEVEN Bootstrap things
Preclude - Reference to non-existent thing 'wpPistolBl'

I'm guessing these all come from the Necessary Evil data files...

Is there a way to delete just these data files?

Thanks again,

Arlyansor.

Ah, that's the problem. OK, are all of the errors your are getting ones with "NE" in the name? If so then it could just be Necessary Evil. It looks like maybe you don't have the Super Powers Companion add-on? If so Necessary Evil will not work, it NEEDs the Super Powers Companion. To deleted the file just go to where your .user files are stored (mine are located at C:\ProgramData\Hero Lab\data\savage) you can delete the one for NE.1st and NE.user.

Aaaah,

Thank you zarlor!

This was needlessly traumatic and time consuming.

Maybe HL needs a simpler mechanism to remove downloaded content?

Thanks again for the help everyone provided.

Not a bad idea. You might want to add that to the feature requests thread.

Just a quick question (and I apologize if it's already been covered): Is the new/updated info from Stone and a Hard Place going to be (or already has been) added to the data set?

The one Zarlor posted is not the Official data set. CC dose the official set, and that one is on his list to update after SFC and SPC2ed.
