The second two errors are things that cropped up and were fixed with revised downloads half a year ago.

That would explain a lot. Things I didnt know. Thanks a lot, Its much appreciated. Let me go through my stuff and remove those particular files.

How do we go about donating our .user files to you?

For instance, my patch that fixed all the Shadowrun Metagenetic qualities that can be both Meta and non-Meta is yours as far as I'm concerned, I just wanted to fix the problem.

Because I was trying to figure out how to do this for my own .user files, and make it easier on myself for next time... Once you figure out what you want your users to be able to "import", you can export your .user files to an .hl file under "tools->Launch HLExport" then you fill out the form, and click "Generate".

After that, you can re-import using "Tools->Import..."

I have a .user file I want to add to the hero lab classic. Can anyone advise how to add .user files?

Current hero lab directories are different than previous instructions in this thread.

Thank you!!

In Hero Lab Classic, once you've opened a game system selecting Tools > Explore Folders > Game System Data Folder in the menu will open the correct folder for that game system. Closing HLC (keeping the folder open), copying the .user file into the folder, and reopening that system in HLC will recompile the game system incorporating the new .user file.

I'm getting this error when I installed Spheres of Power and Sphere's of Might. I can't upload the other screenshot because it's too big.

There's a forum thread for Spheres of Power, but unfortunately the person who's meant to be responsible hasn't been active for a long time. Try posting there - or search that thread - and you might get assistance.
That said - you may not have the most up-to-date file(s) or installed them in the wrong order. I'm guessing your second screenshot is a huge list of errors because HL hasn't loaded ANY user files after the first error.

VDawg, since the error mentions a duplicate, my first guess would be that you've installed two different versions of whatever it is you're adding.
