We've just released Hero Lab 3.6b, which is now available for download here or in the updates mechanism within the product.
This release fixes a number of bugs we've encountered, including several crash bugs which people have been reporting, so we recommend all users upgrade as soon as possible. We've also released an update to our PDF plugin, which should fix issues some users were having with printing multiple images and error messages when windows was set to use a foreign language. Enjoy! Please let us know if you run into any issues. |

I just found an issue while updating the PDF plugin on Win XP. It downloaded the update, but when I tried to run it I received a popup asking me which user to run the installer as. I selected my normal user account, but it gave me the following error:
Code:
Could not initialize installation. C:\~GLC1034.TMP The system cannot find the file specified. |

Collen, Rob
I see that you fixed negative numbers in the editor last update but zero values are still sanitized. Did you leave this out on purpose? If you need an example see below. If you want more real world examples I can elaborate. Note: This is easier to follow using the monster class as animal companion rules don't apply. For example in this pathfinder data file I have included in this post I have created an animal companion and a monster class called "aaa test" and "aaa ctest". The Animal companion and monster class should have a strength progression of 8,9,10,11,12 but I see no way to do that if you sanitize 0 values(I.E. Row 2 should be "0"). As it is now the progression is 8,9,9,11,12 since I cannot enter a zero. If the reason behind this is possible divide by zero errors or something similar we instead need a mechanism by which we can set an array progression back to the default value which is 10 for pathfinder. Say a constant like "$default" or whatever you like. Any thoughts? |

huntercc: I just installed the PDF plugin on one of our demo machines, and I got the "Which user do you want to run as?" message, but then it worked fine afterwards. I'm not sure why you got that error, but glad to know you could install it manualy.
Mindcloud: A blank row should be a 0. If you leave the row blank, it should count as 0 which would mean "no increase". |

Oh! Now I see what you mean. Sorry for the confusion - Hero Lab is doing everything correctly, but the Pathfinder data files are interpreting a "0" as "use the last value". I was just thinking of what HL was doing, not what the data files were doing.
Sorry about that - we'll get this fixed in the next update. Thanks for explaining it to me in detail. |

I'm not sure either, but I tried it three times and got the same result each time

Yay, with the update to Hero Lab and PDF Creator(Canvas?) I can now export to pdf without having to change language for non-Unicode programs to English.
Thanks a bunch! Last edited by Leonal; June 20th, 2010 at 03:04 PM. |
