Help Loading Community Data

Hello,

First off, everyone here is awesome. I'm not really sure where I should be posting this so let me know if I should move it. I've been trying to load ShadowChemosh's "Pathfinder Pack" I followed his instructions, and believe I've loaded everything correctly. I am trying to get the community bestiaries to show up in a portfolio, but they don't seem to be loading. Specifically, I'm looking for something from bestiary 2 to add as an animal companion for a druid I'm making. How do I use the community pack? I've gone to the "Configure your hero" section and I can see the community pack (v1.3) listed under user content but I don't see any mythic bestiary in there. I tried going through and check every single box just to make sure I didn't miss anything but the creatures from the bestiary are not showing up. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks for any help!
 
The community Pack contains unique monsters from some of the Adventure Paths and modules. It also contains Tome of Horror monsters. So you will find those in the community Pack.

For Mythic the one useful feature is the generic Mythic Template that is in the community stuff. That allows you to easily turn ANY creature into a mythic monster and add in standard mythic abilities. Its made for quickly making mythic monsters without need of the editor. HERE is an example of it in use.
 
This is one thing that disappoints me about HL. User-created content can be "pre-empted" by commercial stuff from LW, such that (a) all of the hard work of those volunteers is essentially lost, and (b) it means there's no way for a GM running a home campaign to have monsters covered by the OGL without recreating them from scratch or shelling out money. That strikes me as somewhat "anti-community" in regards to user support.

I mean, I can understand that LW is a for-profit commercial entity and needs to pay salaries, but wiping out existing data seems wrong. That makes LW a virtual monopoly on data sets, instead of having to compete with others and letting the best choice win.

Oh well. I suppose I can always using the Internet Archive if I really need to find something that's older...
