Importing .hl files to iPad Hero Lab?

CubGeek · August 21st, 2014, 09:01 AM

Hello!

Looking through the iPad app's FAQ, it seems that the iPad app can only be used for Pathfinder.

However, the 'Custom Content on the iPad' page seems to indicate that it's possible to import other .hl files (such as the Fate Core, for example) for use.

so.. uhm... I'm confused.

.hl files aren't just for entire game systems. There are many add-ons for Pathfinder that are packaged as .hl files and will work on the iPad, same as they work on the desktop. If you try to import a .hl file that's something other than a Pathfinder add-on, it won't work.

Aha. good to know. Okay, then.

thanks so much for the quick response! May I suggest a quick edit to the Custom Content page to reflect that it's currently ONLY related to Pathfinder addons?
