Problem with Downloader

[Jerrian]

Hi,

I seem to be having an issue with the downloader provided. Namely, the files produced seem to be riddled with errors. In particular, the class and destinies files seem to have a lot of 'invalid unique id' errors and 'empty string is not allowed' errors. Any idea what might be causing this?

I just double-checked, and I'm not getting any errors. Can you paste the compile errors you're getting? You should be able to right-click the error message, copy it, and then paste it here.

Sure thing. The errors are as follows:

The data files could not be loaded due to the following errors:

It looks like you might be having a problem with a download that didn't complete properly. Try the following:

1) Run the downloader, and choose option 4 - "Delete existing data". This should remove all the ddi files with the problems.

2) Load the 4e game system to make sure it now works.

3) Run the downloader again, choosing option 1. It should take 10-20 minutes to complete.

3) Reload the 4e game system. Is stuff now working, or do you get the same error?
