Help with Ranger trick from Spell-less Ranger

First of all, if anyone has completed the Expanded Spell-less ranger for Hero Lab and wants to share, I would be eternally grateful.

Here is the problem I am having. The Spell-less Ranger has Ranger tricks like the Rogues. One they can choose is called "Combat Trick" and gives you a bonus Combat feat.

I am creating the traits in the "Custom Ability" tab and it seems to be working as it should, but I cannot get the "Combat Trick" to allow a Bonus Combat feat. When building the character, the Hunter's Bond works in the "ranger" tab in Hero Labs, the "Ranger Feat" trick properly allows for a bonus Ranger feat in this section as does the Combat Mastery selection.

If I choose the "Combat Trick" option, it says I can choose a bonus feat, but when you select it, it lists no feats. It just says "custom feat."

Here are all the options I have for "Combat Trick," which is a copy of the Rogues of the same name.

The option for "hide primary" is selected. It is also set to be used with the Spell-less Ranger.

Eval Scripts
Phase - Prelevel - Priority - 10000

~ Add to combat feats allowed

.field[cBonFtMax].value +=1

Here is a copy of the section from the user data:

<tag group="SpecSource" tag="cHelpRSL" name="HelpRSL" abbrev="HelpRSL"/>

<eval phase="PreLevel" priority="10000">~ Add to combat feats allowed
linkage
.field[cBonFtMax].value +=1</eval>
</thing>

Any help would be immensely appreciated.
 
Just as an FYI the original spell-less ranger I coded up for HL long time ago. Its available from Cheifweasels site. Click on cheeseweasel.net then on the right side bottom click on Hero Lab. Then click on Pathfinder and its under "Spell-less Ranger".

I just figured I would let you know as it maybe better to start from something done already then from scratch.

I looked at that one, and it apparently is now broken. And I don't know enough about the coding of user files to fix it.

Error messages about the Source has an invalid parent source and several of the bootstraps have invalid references. If I get annoyed by it, I'll dig into it and see about fixing it, but will take me some time.

So WOW that shows how long ago I did that. The one being hosted still has the original "Sources" that Hero Lab used pre-change to the "UserParent" section. That is like 2 years ago or so.

Anyways its a really easy to just change the .user parent="Sources" to parent="UserParent". Send me a PM with your email address and I am happy to send you the fixed version. I will send it to cheifweasel also but that could take some time before I gets put up.
 
I believe Bob_loblaw on the paizo boards is 90% done with his own version of the new Spell-less Ranger. You might want to PM him there and combine forces.

I would think between three resources it could be completed fairly easily (he said ignorantly...)

Except it is completed and has been for years. I am not sure what else needs to be done to the class as I wrote it up exactly like the one in the magazine.

Eventually I converted it to an archetype for my home games after the APG came out as it fit SO much better as an archetype instead of a base class.

So what else needs to be done with it?
 
Geeze... apparently I never set this to notify me on responses. Didn't see the reply until now. Thanks for the update.
 
So I know this is a HUGE necro on the thread but I was wondering if any one has bothered to create the Archetypes for this class? I have been working on the Dual-Style for an hour or two now and am just not quiet getting it....

You know this class has been officially released by Kobold Press as part of the New Paths Compendium, right?
