Thing Extension 'spCharPers' - Tag 'cHelpHou' not defined

What it looks like here is that you've tried to add the sClass.cHelpHou tag to the Charm Person spell, but the sClass.cHelpHou tag hasn't actually been defined anywhere. Is there a class actually defined with that id? If not, you'll need to define it before the identity tag can be used.

I'll have to disable everything again and see if I still get the error.

As too Beta related issues, should they be flagged BETA: ??

Beta-related issues are fine in this thread, as I'm most likely to see them here.

The script issue you just posted about looks like either an error in your script, or possibly an error in the data files, but not beta-related - I would either ask in the 5e forum, or submit a 5e bug report and we'll investigate it.

Hope this helps!

That's what I thought, but the class was there. I'd even shut down Hl and restarted it. Other things that depended on sClass.cHelpHou & cHelpHou worked fine at the time.

The next morning when I started working on the class again, everythign was working pertaining to cHelpHou. I just accepted it as an Act of God and went on with other work on the class.

kk. Thanks for the info all.

Well, its not an issue with 5e Community Pack or my own .user files. I remvoed everything.

Once I did that, I created a brand new .user file and created a class from scratch. I then added one class ability, otherwise the selection for Tools Table #1 and Tools Table #2 won't even show up.

I then added all Musical Instruments on Tools Table #1. I also added all Artisan's tools, the Herbalism kit, the Poison kit, and Thieves' Tools to Tools Table #2.

I then saved and tested.

When I went and built a new character with the test race it let me select the Musical instrument just fine (same as I got with the 5eCP and my user files.

However, when I went to add a Tool kit from Tools Tabel #2 I got the following error message:

Attempt to access field 'skPrefix' that does not exist for thing 'gTooThieve'
Location: 'position' script for Template 'kPick' near line 111
- - -
Attempt to access field 'skShortNm' that does not exist for thing 'gTooThieve'
Location: 'position' script for Template 'kPick' near line 126

Where the tools should show up is a blank space with no 'x' to remove anything.
(Note: Test was with adding Thieves Tools).

I had to reload the test character to get rid of the blank tool.

I did a 2nd test after restarting HL and reloading the test character. This time I tried adding the Alchemist supplies.

The error was even larger . . .

Next, I tried using the Tool Table #3 with the same selection I'd used previously on Tool Table #2. I saved, test, then reboot HL once again. I tested by addign Alchemy supplies once more.

Once again I got a list of errors:

Can anyone else run some test? I don't want to uninstall if I don't have to. Reactivating lisence too soon will lock it . . .
Also, if someone without the Beta could do a similar test, it would be appreciated.

This is not true. You can reactive your license as often as you need/want. Otherwise it force those buying Packages for Pathfinder to wait 120 days between each purchase.

I have reactivated my license 10 times in the same day without issue. The "issue" comes in when you use the same License on TWO different computers. Or Win 10 fast track changes your computers Unique ID making HL think its been installed on a "different" computer. As long as its the same computer reactivate away!

Thanks for the info Shadow

No wrong Abilities on 5e races for now, will continue to monitor it as I create new monsters

(Detailed description of the bug)

Unfortunately it looks like you've run into a bug with the 5th edition data files. Thanks for reporting this - we'll address it in the next 5e data files release. It's not beta-related, so it's not something that would be changed by going back to a non-beta version of HL.

Sorry for the inconvenience! We'll fix this as soon as we can.

[Mergon]

Well, for the time being I'll put tools Artisan's tools and musical instruments on table 1 and trust my players to pick what they should not want they want.

Did you put in a bug report Cohen or do I need to?
