Pathfinder Community Packs

[Frodie]

I can't seem to reproduce the error. But, it's a mechanic with adjustments bootstrapped to it. It's in the COM_PackModern - Path Heroes.user file. I think you would be ok just to delete the mechanic.

Sorry I got confused.

So you only have the Community Pack? And this only happened after you updated HL to 8.0a?

Is this Windows, Mac or iPad?

Yes, only after I updated, like the person stated above it has to do with the COM_PackModern - Path Heroes.user but when I deleted the mechanic, I received more errors. I'm not sure what the silent thing is referencing.

Really need to know if you are on Windows, Mac or iPad. Sounds like Windows. Never mind see next post.

Deleting a single file or Thing will often make things worse not better.

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:

Silent thing references abandoned thing 'pMPClDmMdf' that now exists
Silent thing references abandoned thing 'pMPFamKick' that now exists

Aftering checking these Unique ID's and trying out some installs only ONE way this could happen. You installed both my Shadow d20 pack and the community Pathfinder Pack. Only way this issue arises.

So here is what you need to do:
1) Start HL and Pathfinder.
2) From the menu go to Tools->Manage Third Party Updates.
3) In the new window that appears select "Shadow d20" and press Delete. Select "Pathfinder Pack" and press "Delete".
4) Restart HL but do not select Pathfinder.
5) Press "Find Updates" and then click on "Add Source". Delete the URL for

www.shadowsoftware.net/herolab/shadowd20/updates.xml

. Press OK.
6) In the new window look for "Pathfinder Pack (v1.6)" and download and install.
7) Start Pathfinder. You should be all good now.

I've attached a .user file with an adjustment that I think would be a good addition to the Community Packs (I know I use it fairly often). It lets you append text to the end of a weapon's damage text. I've used it in a few cases, such as adding "plus poison" to an NPC's weapons, or "plus 1d6 fire" to a creature that I've advanced with extra HD...stuff like that. I was actually pretty surprised this wasn't in the Community Packs already.

Thank you ShadowChemosh, worked like a charm.

Thanks I appreciate it.

But the Pack does have "Weapon Elemental Dmg, Custom" which lets you set the value to anything that is typed into the "Duration" field. This is appended to the weapon using Extra Damage. I use "Duration" because the this adjustment was created before I knew that the Personal Tab did not allow Duration to be entered.

What it sounds like is I should add some better "text" notes to the adjustment so it can be found in a search.

I've just noticed a bunch of duplicate feats appearing. A little investigation shows the duplicates all appear because they haven't been source marked. They all relate to the "Surprising Aptitude" Class Ability (which is correctly sourced marked) and are in the COM_PackModern_SGG - Investigator user file. Each feat has the 'fMPSGG' as the start of its ID.
The feats are: Combat Expertise, Deadly Aim, Dodge, Drag Down, Extra Rogue Talent, Go Unnoticed, Landing Roll, Nimble Moves, Quick Draw, Step Up, Two-weapon Fighting.

I couldn't get the same error, but I did add the correct source for the feats.
