Heroes of Shadow classes not showing up?

Hi

I am considering buying Hero Lab and thought I'd give the demo a spin. I downloaded the D&Di data from the compendium (did I read somewhere that it was supposed to take 20-60 minutes?!) and most of it seems to be working.

However, none of the classes from Heroes of Shadow seem to be showing up in the classes list. This book has been out for a while, so my assumption is that it is supported and I've done something wrong.

Any thoughts?
 
Demo versions of software often do not allow full use. It is highly likely that you are not seeing Heroes of Shadow because you are using the demo version.
 
Hi. Sorry for the delay in replying!

Unfortunately, we had some issues with some of the classes from the D&D Essentials books. As a result, there are some classes, including Shadow classes, that are not yet supported by the Downloader. We will be including support for these classes in a future version, but we don't yet have a target release date. We'll provide additional information as soon as we can.
 
is there any update when Heros of Shadow will be supported? Just purchased this and am disappointed that it is not fully supported.
 
Heros of Shadow

I too would like to know when this would be fixed. I've been having issues with the dnd insider tool doing weird things with updates to characters and messing up AC calculations or other things and just bought Hero Lab to recreate all the characters in my current campaign.

One of them happens to be a Vampire class from Heros of Shadow.

I'm pretty disappointed that this isn't showing up in Hero Lab.
 
WOTC(Hasbro) is having thier first ever key note address at Gen Con on thurs evening at 7 pm (of course I will be playing LFR at the time :() that will address the future for the game, if you go to the GenCon web site it has a link to listen in on what is happening. That is when you will know for sure what the future of 4E is. It would be nice but I do not see the release of any 4E material or sale of it until D&D Next is on the shelf and that does not seem to be any time soon.
I would hope that they offer up the conpendium and tool set(monster builder) as a software package, but they may keep them in the DDI for subscribers to use, hey they may even keep 4E alive for some time.
No one but a few knows what the future has coming.
 
Just wanted to add that I also am very interested in having the Heroes of Shadows classes/races. I am playing a Vryloka Blackguard, and since I use Hero Lab for my Pathfinder needs thought it would be a good idea to buy the Authoring Kit license to be able to have a decente way to customize my blackguard's gear.

Today I went to create the character and, to my surprise, no blackguard. :/
 
I'm glad I found this topic. I was going crazy, trying to figure out why I couldn't make an executioner assassin show up. I hadn't yet noticed the other omissions. I find this very disappointing. I was under the impression that Hero Lab supported all the WotC content. I guess that's not the case. =/
 
I am still hoping that Lone Wolf finished the 4E rules to include this content, and other items missing) before the NEXT system starts!
Since the DDI has not been updated after Aug 12, 12 I was hoping that this would have been fixed by this time.
 
I can't say that I disagree... But Lonewolf appears to have abandoned fixing all the 4e bugs. Which is why we're fixing them ourselves over at the site in my sig. We've got something like 90% of themes, and a bunch of bugfixes and missing items and whatnot.
 
Cryptoknight, do you think you will have them in a one shot patch ever, AKA a 4E special that can just download with the HL loader/update system?
Just wondering.

Is anyone working on a home made character class balance builder (ie something that allows people to create a class that works and is not broken with in the 4E system). My group has talked about a few classes or paragon ect choice we would like to see.

Thank you to you and everyone that works on the system.
