Hi Guys

Need help setting up the encounter builder and library. What do I do???

Encounter builder for 5e SRD hasn't been released yet.

Does anyone know when that is getting released, I though it was supposed to be early March but I could be wrong.

Hello!
I'm new to this version of HL. Purchased it a week ago. Used the Encounter Builder to create the first encounter in "Hoard of the Dragon Queen" (8 kobolds) and subsequently export the encounter to a Encounter Library. I get an OK message that my encounters will be located under "Gammmaster/Encounter Library" but when I "klick" on "Encounter library I get the following error message:

Sorry! This game system doesn't have any encounters available to import.

Does this mean the above mentioned update is still to be realeased?

Hi Malevicus,

Aaron explained this in another topic:

Quote:

Set up a series of folders in whatever organization you want them to show in the library, and place your portfolios inside those folders. Once you have everything how you want it, then in Hero Lab go to "Tools -> Launch HLExport". That pops up a new window, inside which choose "File -> Create Encounter Export", choosing the top level folder of your folder series. That will create a hl file you can double click on, which installs them in your HL in the organization you specified.

You might have to reload the game system before you see your new tree in the encounter library.

Also, there's this video

Hope this to be userfull !

Hi,

Viewed the YouTube-tutorial several times and repeating the steps shown in the video. Still got this message:

"Sorry! This game system doesn't have any encounters available to import."

After the creation of the .hl file I do the following

1 Choose the major version number = 1
2 Choose the minor version number = 0
3 Enter the folder for this game = DnD 5e
4 Enter the third party id for this docket set = hoardofthedragon
5 "Are you sure you want to export ... =Yes
6 "Export file containing portfolios successfully ...
7 Closing HL
8 dubble klick the .hl file
9 Restart HL
10 Go to Show Encounter Library
11 Message shown: "Sorry! This game system doesn't have any encounters available to import."

Help!
