D&D 5e Community Pack

Update URL isn't working for Ipad version of 5E Herolab (unless I need a license to make it work, that might be the problem).
 
I see at the bottom left of the Background tab:
'Background & Faction Features'

Yet, where to select a Faction has eluded me.

I looked through the SRD, and didn't find any mention of Factions, so maybe that's why?

The reason I'm asking is because of the Hero Lab to Fantasy Grounds converter I'm working on.

So I got D&D 5e for Herolab as soon as it came out because I love HeroLab and have been just starting a 5e game. The SRD release was disappointing as they didn't have any of the info for the character I was playing.

I was excited about this community pack, as I thought it would fix that, but am hoping that I just messed something up in the installation as it still seems to be missing the things I was needing. Namely, all the archetype options for classes seem to still be limited to just one option, such as the Divine Domains for Clerics, the different Circles for Druids, the different Bardic Colleges for Bards, etc. Still only one option available for all of those. Did I do something wrong? Or are those still not available yet in this pack?

Click HERE to see the official Hero Labs support information.
 
And a tip. If you enable developer mode you can right click on things to see the name. If the name contains '5C' its community content. Alternatively its LW content. This lets you know who to log the ticket to using the links above.
 
Awesome, thanks for the hint, been programming HL for a few years and didn't know about that right click thing.
 
v1.4 May 19, 2016

A fairly significant update is now available. A huge chunk of the place holders have now being replaced with paraphrased text. A huge thanks to all involved. This was not a quick task. You should note that background text in your pre existing characters will not update automatically. You can remove and re-add the background to load the text into your character.

We have also added alpha and beta tags to the pack element names. This should give you an idea of the status of the content.

As always. Please don't report bugs via this forum. Instead use the links to our github in the first post.

I've started a thread on Github for spelling corrections on the Backgrounds. I'll get back to more correction suggestions hopefully next week unless someone else picks up where I left off. My thanks to the person(s) that did the hard part of rewording all of those!
 
Trouble downloading files on a mac.

I have added "http://www.shadowsoftware.net/herolab/5e/updates.xml" to my update list but after reboots can not access the community files for download. they do not appear on the update list. I receive the d20pfsrd updates without problems.

Edit: Apparently im blind. Nevermind.

Ipad Question

Okay, so I'm trying to get this working on my ipad, and I'm having some trouble. So I added the url for the community pack, I installed it and the only thing showing up is an Update titled "5e Community Pack." I installed that and no new content is showing up. No packs have populated my available updates or anything. I feel like I'm doing something wrong, can anyone help?

Did you go to the "Character" tab and turn on the source options for the 5e Pack like "5e Players Handbook" or other books?
