I removed that file from the folder and Herolabs loaded without a problem.

Correct but you won't be able to use any of the CC .por without the .user file. What you could also do is use the Editor and open up the .user file. Locate the monster with ID "rUmMothMaw" and remove the bootstrap for "spGhoHun2" as that appears to be the issue.

Then save and reload again. For the list of unknown Things you have to be careful as HL is loading in SAFE mode and there for it won't load ANYTHING so everything from the .user file is going to show as not found. Which is VERY misleading info as it is there just not loaded.

Also you are not missing a file these work perfectly fine on my system but I have every data set from HL. The issue is going to be that "spGhoHun2" is from some official HL data set you didn't purchase. So without it HL can't load the .user file.

The answer is to remove the need for "spGhoHun2", by using the editor, or to purchase the data set from HL that "spGhoHun2" is in.

Thanks for your quick response. You wouldn't by any chance know which addon that would be in?

Sorry no not without having access to HL. I tried looking for a spell name like that on d20pfsrd and didn't notice it.

I will try and look when I get home tonight as I am curious myself to know what spell that is.

Ok so got some info. The spell is "Ghoul Hunger" and its from "Gods & Magic". This is the monster "Mother's Maw".

What you can do is use the editor to open up PFRPG_Carrion_Crown_BestiaryAP74.user and click on the "Race" tab. Then click on Mothers Maw.

On the right side click on the blue button "Bootstraps". Then find "spGhoHun2" and click on the X on the right side to remove this bootstrap. See attached picture.

Save the file and then close down HL and restart it. Hopefully now it should load up.

Hope that helps.

Shadow to alleviate this problem in future I'm going to add a note to my Bestiary files regarding packages required!

I suggest this for all future community releases, that way the end user will know if anything is required or lacking in their HL installation.

For example I have all the packages released thus far and I default to approx 99% of everything. Armor as DR from UC is the only omission!

I do the same as Bodrin.

Do we know if the Bestiary files are also being sourced? I am still plodding away at the Kingmaker ones and i source each file to the Kingmaker source. But i dont know if everyone is doing that.

[Caraldur]

Thanks for the help and looking into which package was involved.

Nice as that means every bootstrap on every monster you would have to double check. Which is the only downside.

Would be great to put the official data sets needed in the install notes for each bestiary set.

From what I have tested yes everything is getting sourced. The only sources that are questionable is the ones where people used there names as part of the source desc.

Yes, I have a couple of Advanced Bestiary and Tome of Horrors entries with the next Council of Thieves book which I won't be sourcing to the existing community defined source as it has a username attached to the title!

It'll be sourced separately to distinguish between contributers!
