Just downloaded the 5.3 hero lab

[saintaurik]

I started the program tonight and it said there was a 5.3 version. I let it update and afterwards I got 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:

Thing 'cHelpDrC' - Tab panel linkage 'cUsrDrC' does not exist
Thing 'cHelpDrP' - Tab panel linkage 'cUsrDrP' does not exist
Thing 'cHelpElP' - Tab panel linkage 'cUsrElP' does not exist

Can anyone tell me how to fix this please??

Looks like you aren't the only one who had this:

I have no idea why this would happen. Have you tried restarting the program?

[saintaurik]

I have restarted the program 10 times and still the same error each time. I'm clueless here...

I just found the reason. Well sort of. Looks like somehow classes in d20 need a panellink="" element now. Which is missing for some of the classes and with the new update this is an issue.

The fix is pretty much what you linked to Sendric. Find these Class Things and a do a "Test Now" and HL editor fixes the issue. After that you may need to push out a new version to everyone so that everyone is fixed and working with HL v5.3....

hmmm, 5.3 i thought was for their ipad improvements... i wonder what changed. I thought the ipad improvements was only for pathfinder?

I guess we should get a list of the classes?

[Sendric]

Thing 'cHelpWMa' - Warmage (Complete Arcane)
Thing 'cHelpWuJ' - Wu Jen (Complete Arcane)

Thing 'cHelpFRv' - Forest Reeve (Complete Champion)
Thing 'cHelpHWa' - Holt Warden (Complete Champion)
Thing 'cHelpMEx' - Mythic Exemplar (Complete Champion)
Thing 'cHelpPaA' - Paragnostic Apostle (Complete Champion)
Thing 'cHelpPaI' - Paragnostic Initiate (Complete Champion)
Thing 'cHelpSOn' - Sanctified One (Complete Champion)
Thing 'cHelpSHP' - Shadowspy (Complete Champion)
Thing 'cHelpSqL' - Squire of Legend (Complete Champion)

Thing 'cHelpUnS' - Unseen Seer (Complete Mage)

Thing 'cHelpDrC' - Dread Commando (Heroes of Battle)
Thing 'cHelpWWe' - War Weaver (Heroes of Battle)

Thing 'cHelpDrP' - Paragon - Drow (Unearthed Arcana)
Thing 'cHelpElP' - Paragon - Elf (Unearthed Arcana)


I did Test Now on all of these, and now the problem is gone. I will add that the last one I did (Unseen Seer) popped up with an error afterward about nonexistent bootstraps. Re-loading the code (CTL-R) or re-loading HL will resolve this if you get it.

I may throw up a patch release to resolve this issue. Stand by.

[mirtos]

Awesome. Thanks.

[Sendric]

The patch release is up. Nothing new. All this does is fix the problems caused by this panellink issue.

[mirtos]

What about our own custom classes, will we have to do something with our own files?

Thanks for all your work.
