(Drop Dead Studios) Spheres of Power: Official Support Thread

[blenman]

Hi, I'm getting this error when I load up Pathfinder and I think the 'fcSoPPX....' are Spheres of Power "Thing[s]." I'm not sure how to fix this? I have reinstalled everything and the versions are all current.

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:

Syntax error in 'eval' script for Thing 'fcSoPXGbSW' (Eval Script '#1') on line 6
-> Non-existent field 'DC' used by script
Syntax error in 'eval' script for Thing 'fcSoPXGnIn' (Eval Script '#1') on line 8
-> Non-existent field 'DC' used by script
Syntax error in 'eval' script for Thing 'fcSoPXGnSy' (Eval Script '#1') on line 8
-> Non-existent field 'DC' used by script

FWIW, the above issue is just loading Pathfinder. If I load my character that has been using SoP for a while now, I get the following mess and my character is missing everything (including spheres tabs). I figured I would try to fix the Pathfinder loading issue first...

Hi blenman,

Your errors are from an outdated version of Expanded Options. For some reason (which is probably my fault), HL isn't auto-detecting that there's a newer version of Expanded Options, which causes it to get left behind when the rest of SoP and or SoM gets updated. If you update Expanded Options you should be okay.

[blenman]

It shows as 1.7 under Manage Third-Party Updates:



I'm not sure what version I should have?

Edit: The "Latest Patch Notes" are at 1.6, but I see the "Current Package Available" version says 1.7

[TheIronGolem]

I see you also have a 1.0 version of Expanded Options listed there at the top? That's odd. I would definitely remove that and see if the problem persists. If it does, try re-downloading 1.7.

[blenman]

I just noticed it says 1.0 at the top... let me try removing that...

Ok, that fixed the loading issue and some of the portfolio loading issues (strangely), but the following source issues still exist:

Your "Manage Third-Party Updates" menu did not make mention of any of those other sphere handbooks, so if your portfolio relies on information from those sources I would not be surprised to see those errors. If you have those packages I would go ahead and reinstall them. But instead of installing straight from a .hl file I would recommend you use the update process (detailed in the readme for each package) to grab the latest versions, otherwise you're likely to be in for another mess of errors from outdated files.

[blenman]

I reinstalled those and added the sources to get updates. That did the trick! Thanks!

[Ualaa]

I get excited for new Sphere options, anytime I see activity in this thread.
Soon...

Is there any way to print an Armiger's custome weapons and what spheres are linked to them?
