Hi everyone!
I have some old character files since 2012 that I really need to open and look at. The problem for me is when I do that then all the characters are at lvl 1. If I increase the lvls then I need to do the regular lvl up again. I don't recall how I had built them and this is why I want to check it out now. Anyone know how I can overcome this. I downloaded the latest version of Hero Lab and reassigned my old license. /Thrilled |

I have no idea if this suggestion will work, but... Try opening the .por in a program that handles .rar files, like the forever available WinRAR, if you can see any folder named statblocks_*something* you might be lucky enough to find the information you need so you can rebuild the character.
NOTE: stablocks_*something* is what I use for Pathfinder RPG, a different system might use a different name. |

FWIW, early early portfolios were not ZIP files, but were basically just XML files, still parseable.

Long time since I posted this....
I am still trying to figure out my progression on some old created characters. I can open the .por files however they are all at lvl 1 and I know when I created them I made them completed until lvl 20. How can I find out the progression I had planned for them? /Mikael |

thrilled, is there anywhere else you might have saved different versions of these characters? Could these be the level 1 versions and the level 20 versions are saved elsewhere? The way Hero Lab stores information, it couldn't have deleted just those levels and everything associated with them and still leave a level 1 character that loads without errors.
