Hero Lab crashed during Test Now

[Sendric]

Not sure if this is right thread, but I think it is. Anyway, I was editing the Focused Specialist class variant in the d20 system. The changes were not particularly exciting. All I did was change some if statements that were looking for Wizard levels (#levelcount[Wizard]) to look up the caster level using a variable (lvl = hero.child[cHelpWiz].field[cCasterLev].value). I saved, hit Test Now, and received the following error message:

HeroLab.exe has encountered an error and needs to close.

Please email a DESCRIPTION OF WHAT YOU WERE DOING, in as much detail as possible, along with this message, to support@wolflair.com. PLEASE NOTE: Unless you tell us what you were doing, we won't have enough information to fix this problem!

I did update to HL for Windows 4.3a just prior to this, so maybe it has something to do with the most recent update. I certainly haven't seen any errors like this with any of my other work prior to this.

Here's the file:

I am pretty sure Colen is going to want the .txt file listed above. So to save a step you may wish to post/attach it if you can. I know Colen usually wants mine when the above has happened as sometimes it provides additional information.

Well, if he's going to be difficult, then ok.

Ahh, I see the problem.

You got a 404 after the 4.3a.

I researched this code and it typically means something can't be found.

Maybe it couldn't find 4.3a? Did you look to see if you had 4.2z?

(Yes, I'm kidding)

I had flashed backs of working with IBM tech support while reading this. I was also just trying to find an issue on a production IBM server where the program was tossing "00211" which actually comes out to "Error calling program or procedure.". Really no **** their was an error but how about telling me "what" the error was!!!

What would be the fun in that?

While I hate to interrupt the fun you two are having, Sendric can you please send the crash error and the .txt file to support@wolflair.com? That way I can make sure it gets to Colen. Crash reports like this can get lost in the forums, and it's also not the best place to troubleshoot. Thanks!

Whoops. Missed this. I'll send that out now. Sorry.
