Version 8.1 of the Pathfinder files for Hero Lab is now available

[Mathias]

The Advanced Class Guide Playtest is now available in Hero Lab!

A new update of the Pathfinder files for Hero Lab is now available from the automatic updates mechanism within Hero Lab.

The Advanced Class Guide Playtest is free to everyone with the Pathfinder system for Hero Lab, but only until Paizo publishes the Advanced Class Guide book (which is scheduled for a Gen Con 2014 release). Once that book becomes available, we'll be adding an Advanced Class Guide package to Hero Lab, and all of the playtest content will be moved into that package. If you purchase the package once it becomes available, any characters you created using the playtest material will continue to work (with the caveat that there may be changes between the playtest version of a class and the final version that may require some fixes). Those who do not purchase the ACG package once it becomes available will not be able to use any of the playtest content after that.

Journey to the Far East with the Heroes of the Jade Oath package, produced by Rite Publishing. With new skills like Fung Shui, as well as new feats and optional rules, your players will enjoy exploring this rich culture's history within this new Pathfinder setting. Enjoy new classes, archetypes, spells and more! This package is now available for $14.99.

The Free City of Zobeck package, produced by Kobold Press, lets you journey to the famous Crossroads City, compiled at last for everyone who loves noir adventure, clockwork characters, dwarves, and kobolds. A wealth of new feats, PC races, spells, equipment and archetypes are available for everyone who loves gritty and urban characters! This package includes content from Alleys of Zobeck, Streets of Zobeck, the Zobeck Gazetteer, and the Player's Guide to the Crossroads. This package is now available for $14.99.

This update also includes several bug fixes.

Here's the full change list for this update, copied from the FAQ that's available in Hero Lab's Help menu:

• The Death Candle Antipaladin spell was incorrectly 2nd level.

[Thank Dog]

There seems to be some sort of bug going on with Cure Light Wounds and scroll creation. Ever since the update, creating a scroll with Cure Light Wounds crashes the program. I've uninstalled and deleted all files and reinstalled only to have it still occur so it definitely seems like a bug.

[AndrewD2]

I have no problem making the scroll, you're going to want to report this using the bug reporting software in the stickied post in the Pathfinder forums. Bug reports in threads just get lost.

[Thank Dog]

Now it's doing it with wands when I try to make a custom one with the Mount spell.

Again you need to report bugs in the bug reporting software. You can find it here Bug Reporting

Oh, my apologies, I didn't realise it was my responsibility to do Lone Wolf's jobs for them. Won't happen again.

Huh?

Sorry, really kind of baffled here. You have failed to follow the bug reporting process. You have not told LWD about this bug, just by posting it in this thread - they do not trawl through every thread on these forums looking for bugs, because there is a robust procedure in place, where all bugs reported using the bug report method are tracked and checked and responded to appropriately.

There is a sticky thread about how to report bugs. Using it is not somehow "doing Lone Wolf Development's job for them". It is the correct way to get them to FIX bugs.

If you find a bug, report it. So far (based on the evidence in this thread) you have not.

Please do so, and it will be fixed.
