Its a real source code repository and made for tracking changes done by multiple people to the same set of source code. It works perfect for dealing with XML which is what the .user files are.

If a person has one or two small changes/additions they want to add to the community stuff they can send to me and I will do the check in and commits. But a editor plans to do allot then I need them to learn github.

I do plan to do a video that goes over the pack layout and how to use github. Its on the "to-do" list.

As the coming month will most likely include more "issues" please read the "FAQ" section on dealing with errors. Lots of good info covered including how to post all error messages.

Also feel free to point others to this information if I am not around.

Pathfinder Basic Pack
My "ShadowChemosh Gaming Addon" has just become the new "Basic Pack" and version 3.3 has been pushed out to everyone!

If you don't already have this pack and plan to use/run community addons please download it now!

Bug Fixes

Not allowed for PFS flagged on most "ShadowChemosh" things.

New Features

New features and file layout to support community pack changes. Including the release of the Pathfinder 3PP Pack.

Data File Authoring

New loadonce XML element added to all files. This requires at least HL 6.1e or the latest iPad app to load now. This also means the files in the community packs SHOULD not be copied to start a new file. If you do you will have issues with loading.
Valdiation procedures from the old SGG pack has been moved to the basic pack. All packages have access to HaveSpell and CntMartWea.
Added the new procedure "HaveSpell" to test if a character has access to a specific spell ID.
Added the new procedure "CntMartWea" to count the number of martial weapon proficiencies a character has.
Moved over Ultimate Psionics powers Disciplines over to the basic pack. This allows everyone access to these.
Power Resistance helper has been moved to the basic pack so it will be on all characters. This allows anything to add PR to any character by setting abValue on xPwrRes.

So going to try this "different" approach that makes use of a new feature. So the Basic Pack is included inside of the 3PP Pack and the Campaign Pack.

This means you don't have to download the Basic Pack first if you don't want. Hopefully this should make using the Packs really easy. So you just download the pack you want and use it.

So if you want the 3PP Pack and Campaign Pack then just download those two packs and away you go. I think I have this configured on my side where it won't be allot of extra work.

It does mean when changes happen in the "Basic" pack all packages will need to be updated.

I keep getting this error

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.

The following errors occurred:

File: COM_3PPPack_PathOfWar - Tags.1st (line 3) - Encountered unknown element tag 'loadonce'

Snowgods · January 11th, 2015, 07:57 PM

Looks like ShadowChemosh has left that tag in again. guess we'll just have to wait for him, to remove it again. :P

You "MUST" have the latest HL version 6.1e or later to run the community packs. It WILL not load with the older versions anymore.

Sorry I assumed everyone would have updated by now.... If not you can get the latest and greatest v6.1f from THIS post.

I assumed (of course we know what happens when we do that) that everyone would have updated to the latest version.
