Community Bestiary - ROTRL Anniversary

Make sure you've configured a new portfolio to use the RotRL source, CTRL+K scroll down to adventure path Rise if the Runelords, first.

Then select the race you want, you should find the monsters in there. This is the usual place for bestiary creatures unless it's a ready made portfolio you are after then they aren't included in the community download anymore due to size restriction.

Hero lab community portfolios can be found on the D20PFsrd website.

The link should be in my signature below!
 
As bodrin said with the .zip files located on d20pfsrd are broken down by chapter and encounter. Your looking for "AP01 Rise of the Runelords Anniversay PART1.zip" and "AP01 Rise of the Runelords Anniversay PART2.zip".

Otherwise if you go to "Portfolio->Import Stock Hero" you will see the below list. If I remember correctly the highlighted ones are the new Anniversary versions of the monsters.

I am a bit confused, I followed the instructions for the community complete using the xml file which allows Hero Lab to update through its interface. I see the monster list that you show in the screenshot but they don't seem to match. I will check them again.

Did you download the zip files then? I know those are for sure the anniversary ones.
 
Yes, the .por files in the two zips look like the correct monsters. Maybe its time to update the details and instructions about the community bestiary so that it is clearer on where everything is (and isn't). Currently it reads like everything is in the auto-update file and you can import from the .stock files.
 
I always do look to be clear and from the post you linked to it has:

Where to find the Monsters
1) Some of the monsters are included as .stock files and you find them by going to the HL Menu "Portfolio->Import Stock Hero...".
2) Do to the massive size of the .por files, 600megs as of 8/5/2012, I have stored each adventure path and module as a seperate .zip file that you can get from d20pfsrd. These are all stored in the "Community Bestiary" folder at the top.

So I am not really sure what more to post. The .por files are in one of those two locations. The main reason is I have already seen people complain about downloading a 100meg "Official" update. They would want my head with a 600+ meg "community" update. :(

I can make a note that the Anniversary version is only located on d20pfsrd and not as .stock files.

Sorry for the confusion....
 
I guess my quesition is are all the files listed on the site that are seperate downloads part of the Community Bestiary, or are only some of them? If only some then how do I differentiate between them?

Thanks.
 
Really trying to be helpful here so let me just highlight one section:

Then the web page has Yellow Folder named "Community Bestiary NPCs".

So any of the Zip Files located in the "Community Bestiary NPCs" folder are meant to work with the "Community Bestiary" addon.

I did add a note that the Anniversary addition files are ONLY located on d20pfsrd. :)
 
According to your post all monsters are in the the Community Bestiary (Except Rise of the Runelords Anniversary) and it is around 600MB, but when I run the update in Hero Lab to download, it is only around 40MB. Why the discrepency?


*UPDATE*
I think I understand now. The Hero Lab auto-update gets you 40MB, but you have to go to www.d20pfsrd.com. Then scroll down to Extras -> Hero Lab Community Repository menu on the left side of the page. Then scroll down that page to the download section and the first folder in that section entitled "Community Bestiary NPCs" contains the additional 560MB of content.
