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.

Thank You Community Pack Team :-)

Open HL 5e game up and on the "Configure Your Hero" window make sure that you have checked marked "5e Players Handbook".

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....
