When you get an error message you can RIGHT click on the window and copy the full error message and then paste it here. That will let us debug better.
As your have access to BETA software that you pulled down from GitHub you will/can run into this issue. You pulled down a file that has sense been renamed "COM_5ePack_DMG-Races.user".
My advice would be to go into your data\herolab\5e folder and delete "COM_5ePack_DMG - All.user" (old file name). You should be good.
If not good go into that folder again and delete ALL files that start with COM_*.*. Then re-download and install the v1.2 Community Pack.

Try delete / move all the *.user files from: C:\ProgramData\Hero Lab\data\5e and reload the Community Pack.
I had the same error but you and I are both working with different files to everyone else. I think this was due to a file-name change on the DMG stuff during the creation stage.
Once you do that it works fine.

I added the source, restarted but I am not seeing the community pack. I am using the OSX version. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Hi!
While I am currently staying with my own implementation of the 5e Datafiles (they are more complete than the offical ones, I cannot change the character sheet with the official one which is a "must have" for me personally, and it would be a lot of work to convert all my houserule-stuff) there is SOME stuff I might be able to contribute:
- I have must of the stuff from the "Primeval Thule" campaign setting implemented. Assuming the authors do not mind (I could ask them) I could share this and it could be converted to the format of the official datafiles?
- I have most of the "Arcana" articles new stuff converted (though I guess this again is not covered by the SRD, so a "no go"???)

Adding source I assume you mean you added the URL. Did you download and install the pack after doing that?
The first post HERE in this thread has a PDF with a detailed install guide. Did you do all those steps? Do you see the pack installed when you go to "Tools->Manage Third Party Updates"?

You can't copyright the mechanics so only part that can't be shared is the "fluff" descriptions.
The bigger issue is unless you based your authoring kit logic off of Pathfinder all the base components are going to be different. Tags, fields, everything will be different. Trying to convert from your game system to 5e would be most likely more work than starting from scratch.
Even in systems like Pathfinder that came from d20 you can't just move a d20 .user file to Pathfinder or a Pathfinder to d20.
So comes down to how close is your game system to Pathfinder?

It's not... I believe he actually based it on the 4e data files and structure/the system creation kit license.

That is what I assumed from reading posts in the past. In that case with all the required changes it maybe harder than its worth....

First of all thanks for the fantastic work with this community pack. Unfortunately I seem to be having some issues with choosing my background. I downloaded and installed according to your PDF instructions in the 1st post. However, no matter what character race/class combo I make, I still only have the option to choose Acolyte in the background section.
To make sure it loaded go to "Tools->Manage Third Party Updates". If installed and you restarted you most likely didn't turn on the new Source Options.
Open HL 5e game up and on the "Configure Your Hero" window make sure that you have checked marked "5e Players Handbook".

Glorious. Thanks for your assistance.
As the pathfinder dataset does not include
Full datfiles I went with Authoring kit
Instead, I wanted full control of what I can
Do wirh the code (and for some features
as the charsheet I needed that).
Well, assuming the Thule people do not
Object to full text at least there you could
Profit all else I fear the implementation will
Be often very different.
Best regards,
Steffen

this totally rocks my socks. just made the 20 bucks i spent to buy the SRD package worth it. deepest and most sincere thanks to those working on this.
They list an http:// in those instructions that's not in the URL you've entered.
Yeah... Didn't have time to update that document to 5e yet. Its on the to-do list.
Update: I updated the document to cover Pathfinder, d20 and 5e now. Including giving all three URL's in the pdf. Sorry about that...
Not sure why you are apologizing for my mistake in not reading properly. Perhaps you have some Canadian blood in you.

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't D&D 5e Community Pack (v1.2) what you are looking for???

Because the document that use to be pointed to referenced only Pathfinder and a Pathfinder update URL. I have sense changed it to reference d20, Pathfinder, and 5e now.Not sure why you are apologizing for my mistake in not reading properly. Perhaps you have some Canadian blood in you.
I was sorry that the document was "out" of date and causing some confusion...
Hey be happy you got me on a nice day. Most days I am ready to tear someone's head off!
