Since you are getting the sources to appear in the configure window, that means the community set is being loaded.

Assuming you have paid for the d20 system, you shouldn't have to do anything with your license. You could reactivate it just to see if that helps.

One other thing you could try is to open the editor, go to the bow in question, remove the source, and hit Test Now. With no source checked, it should appear no matter how your configure window is set up. If it still doesn't, then you may have to uninstall and re-install. I have no idea what could be causing such an issue.
Apparently, if you create a character prior to adding all the custom content, it doesn't update automatically when you later add all the custom content. I didn't know this. I thought that when I was setting all of the custom content to 'on' as default, it would update all portfolios within a particular game system. I was checking my sources when loading the game system on startup and didn't know I could change it while in an open session. I got it figured out. Sorry for the waste of time...

Thanks for your help Sendric!

One small question. Has anyone ever converted the Tome of Magic?

I have taken a crack at it, I have Truenamer sorta working, but its full of glitches. It is not an easy book, it is full of strange classes that don't really translate into HL all that well.

Truenamer -----> Maneuvers with skill checks..
Shadowcaster --> Mysteries, which are like WTF, this is the only class I haven't a clue how it functions. The book explains it very poorly.
Binder ----------> Vestiges.... How the heck would that even be implemented.
--Bind requires some form of deity selection to make that work.


So, yes it has been looked into, perhaps ShadowChemosh or Sendric would know how to code. But as far as I believe, HL lacks the functionality to handle this in the d20 (pathfinder could probably do this fairly easy with Deities and Archtypes.)

Deities is on my list to add for d20. Also archetypes in pathfinder are built from the d20 Variant class frame work. So I had also planned to up the capabilities for the variant classes.

Better ability to support Tome of Battle and Tome of Magic does need to be added.

Just keep in mind Pathfinder has had "years" to build up to supporting those things. So this is why you have seen allot of "base" changes to d20 as I need to do to support better features.

Really important first I think is Spells that can be assigned to multiple classes.

I wasn't criticizing, I was just saying that I didn't know how to implement those classes. Heck I don't even understand shadowcaster. :P

But you do a great job, I have no complaints.

Please understand I love what you guys do. I have no idea whatsoever how to write any of this stuff, and the Tome of Magic is one my favorite books ever. (seriously I have much love for the Truenamer and Shadowcaster)

I was only curious. I much appreciate all the work you guys do, so let me say thank you for that. I'll keep my eyes open and be patient.

If you can help me understand the shadowcaster a little better, I will take another crack at it.

I've sent you a private message. Please check it, it has my Skype information.

Yea I know. I was just giving a "future plans look" at it was all. I want to have d20 support the "mechanics" of those 3.5 books even though I can't put in the actual data/text.

Sorry if my writing is bad this weekend. I have a killing cold/flu thing that is making my head all foggy...
