Version 2.0 of the 5th Edition SRD files for Hero Lab is now available!

Ah! These are the errors as a result of upgrading to v2.0…




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:

These are all result of one file missing. The COM_5ePack - Tags.1st file is no longer in your HeroLab\Data\5e folder.

After a quick test I see what happened. When you installed 5e v2.0 you click the button on the installer that says "Delete files not updated by import". By doing that you told HL to delete any files not in the current installer. Which the community pack is NOT so it deleted the main control files (ie .1st files).

To fix re-download the 5e Community Pack and install again. Until you do that HL will fall into safe mode and not load anything outside the content of LW.

BINGO!

Thanks!

Since the update my containers are no longer containing. Magical ones in particular.
HAHAHA Maybe I'm kidding. It was the case on my work version but now at home it's not happening.
Let me look

[Enforcer84]

Ok it's any new container I add. They are not showing their contents.

Thanks for reporting this - we're looking into this bug and hope to have a fix out next week.

Hero Lab V8.0b is out, which should fix this bug - please let me know if you're still seeing it with the new release.

I am running HL 8.0b. I added a "Case, crossbow bolt" on the Gear tab. When I try to move my crossbow bolts to that container, it is not showing up as a container option. I can see other containers (backpack, pouch, and quiver), but the crossbow bolt case is not showing as a container option. I created a custom container with the same name as a workaround, but I wanted to make you aware that the stock one is not functioning as a container.

Also, the PHB states that some items can be strapped to the outside of a backpack in addition to the carrying capacity (e.g. bedrolls, rope, etc.). Any thoughts on implementing this an option on backpacks? Much like the crossbow bolt case, I created a custom container called "Strapped to Backpack" and put the items there. This might be the best solution (a very easy work-around), but I figured I should at least mention this to see if you think there is some way to actually incorporate that into the backpack item.

Incidentally, where are the main data files for 5e located? I see all the COM files under ProgramData, but I was curious where the core ones are so that I could potentially try to fix things like this myself when I find them as I sometimes can do with d20 (and of course report them here so any fixes can be incorporated into future patches). Or, are they in files within that folder that cannot be opened by the editor (e.g. the .hlz or .pkg files)?

You should raise a bug report for the item. I've checked, the case isn't available as a container.

LW core data files (for all systems) aren't accessable to users. If you can access something to change it, then it has to be a community or user file.

I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but I seem to see all the Midgard races except the Shadow Fey... anyone else seeing this? Did I miss a note that they aren't included?
