stDragonBl -error

My user files will not load because of an error called "stDragonBL is not unique. What is the fix?

Ok. That thing is the id for my Dragonblood Creature Subtype. The strange part is it only exists in my House Rules file that I never released to the community.

The only reason I even know and recognized it is I just fixed this for all my players.

HL made a change that requires Creature Subtypes to have to be marked Unique, but I put that in before the editor required that I guess. So now in the editor it can't be changed and I had to go directly into the XML files to fix this issue.

The only place this exists is Shadowd20.user file so open that in notepad. Find stDragonBl thing and should be the 2nd time you find it as the first time is just a bootstrap. At the end of the description of this thing look for this line:

Code:

compset="Subtype"></thing>

It needs to be changed as follows:

Code:

compset="Subtype" uniqueness="unique"></thing>

To do this in the editor requires you do Delete the Thing and make it again from scratch so that HL will add the 'unique' part correctly. You could also go HERE to download the latest .zip file and just overwrite the Shadowd20.user file with the latest one from v0.7.4.

This fix will also work for anyone else with Creature Subtype errors using v3.6 of the Pathfinder.

Cool, thanks alot.
BTW - I think I found a link for your site some where around here, but I'm not sure where.

Sorry about that, when I added a new subtype for Pathfinder 34, I noticed that I hadn't set the compset to always be unique, like I should have, so I made that change. I apologize for altering your creations (I didn't realize there wasn't a way to fix that in the editor).

(I expected all the new subtypes to have been made as copies of the existing subtypes - they're all unique, so any copies would have kept that setting).

This also effected me. Created a warforged-like Living Construct race following your instructions. Now the Living Construct Creature Subtype and the race it is attached to isn't working. Hopefully I can fix this as I've a game in 2 hours.

For some reason I had to completely rebuild that file. Not just the SubType entry, but the racial specials and the race too.

Oh well. It's fixed now.
