Strange validation messages

D

Well-known member
I've just noticed a lot of validation errors on my characters; to be honest they may have been there a while, as I've not used Hero Lab for some months for various reasons.

A bunch of things are listing as "not available to Pathfinder Society characters", things like DR 0, "Bleeding", and "Climbing". It appears to be across all characters, and there's no sign of what I need to un-check in order to remove them. Any advice?
 
There was a recent change for user files, anything not specifically marked as PFS legal is now considered illegal. Odds are you have custom user files, I would also update to the the current version of the community pack if you have it installed.
 
Downloaded the Community Pack immediately prior to opening HL this morning. The errors don't link to anything I've created personally.
 
All adjustments in the SCAdjustments area, which includes Climbing, Bleeding etc are now marked as illegal by the PFS. If you have anything that comes from a .user file on your sheet it will flag it

Its ANYTHING from a user file no matter how I mark stuff.

All I can do is change something from "RED" and locked out to "Purple" warning messages. :( Because USER files are evil! :)

I may have forgotten about the additional "Conditions" in this specific case. I most likely will do another update next week to fix allot of this misc issues.
 
A quick look in one of ShadowChemosh's adjustment files and they seem to be checked as OK for PFS Core, but not for PFS standard.

I'm assuming that due to their nature they'll show as red regardless of whether they directly effect the character?

Thanks for the help folks.
 
Im trying to get rid of the DR validation error messages via an adjustment and Im having no luck.

Ive tried both foreach pick in hero where "Ability.xxDR?" and "Ability.xDam?" without success. Any suggestions on where Im messing up? Ive got pretty much all my characters with DR/0 and error messages now.

I assume about not being PFS legal?

Guess that would make sense as DR Things are attached to EVERY character no matter if its in use or not.

No adjustment is going to be able to make a difference Minous. These are active and LIVE ability Things on your PFS character. Same issue for all 0 level spells as they are bootstrapped no matter what.

Sigh.... I am going to talk to LW about these issues....

While they produce validation errors, they are still working properly, so I've learned to ignore them for now.
 
why was this done? Only a finite number up Herolab customers use hero lab for PFS. This seems to have been pushed out the same time my .user files broke and I have not been able to access them since this happened. a toggle in character configuration should at least be added to put .user files how they were

Only a finite number of people own Hero Lab.

However, the additional warnings only affect those people who play PFS (or have PFS switched on).
 
I'm getting the exactly same thing. I updated the community pack and still getting them. It seems to be in the background module. And this occurs when adding a new PFS character.

I need specifics or exact character examples with issues please. Just saying "errors" is not enough for me to track down any issues. :(

Please provide screen shots or even better email me characters to my forum user id at yahoo dot com.

Right now all my tests show all errors have been cleared. EXCEPT for the Purple Warning messages as that can NOT be removed anymore. The only messages I can clear up are the "Red" validation messages.

Please provide details so I can look into the issue.

Thanks
 
PFS characters seem to only have five non-available DRs coming up as validation errors: "bludgeoning or slashing", "evil or chaotic", lawful, gold, "good or chaotic". Prior to update 1.13 the list was much longer.
