Savage Settings data files

Um, I can't get any settings to work either.

I've downloaded them several times, restarted Hero Lab several times, before and after I've downloaded the settings files, but nothing showing in the configuration.

Do I need to uninstall and re-install Hero Lab in it's entirety?

Thanks for any advice...

Did you do a non-standard install or something? Is this on a Mac or PC? Are we talking about using the normal updater to download Savage Settings or are these other settings you downloaded?
 
If no Settings are appearing, are you getting any error messages when the Savage Worlds module starts? Errors in any .user file will prevent all of them from loading.
 
I've downloaded everything through the Hero Lab downloader.

This is for a PC, and I've had no real issues with Hero Lab before on anything I've downloaded.

When the Savage Worlds module starts, I get the following message:

"The data files could not be loaded due to errors. Hero Lab will now attempt to load them in recovery mode. Once loaded, you can access the editor as normal to correct any errors.

Thing 'spcNELair' - Child entity 'SPCPower' does not exist
Thing 'vhNEASeaho' - Bootstrap thing 'wpTorpedo' does not exist
Another SEVEN Bootstrap things
Preclude - Reference to non-existent thing 'wpPistolBl'

I'm guessing these all come from the Necessary Evil data files...

Is there a way to delete just these data files?

Thanks again,

Arlyansor.
 
Ah, that's the problem. OK, are all of the errors your are getting ones with "NE" in the name? If so then it could just be Necessary Evil. It looks like maybe you don't have the Super Powers Companion add-on? If so Necessary Evil will not work, it NEEDs the Super Powers Companion. To deleted the file just go to where your .user files are stored (mine are located at C:\ProgramData\Hero Lab\data\savage) you can delete the one for NE.1st and NE.user.

Aaaah,

Thank you zarlor!

This was needlessly traumatic and time consuming.

Maybe HL needs a simpler mechanism to remove downloaded content?

Thanks again for the help everyone provided.

Not a bad idea. You might want to add that to the feature requests thread.
 
Just a quick question (and I apologize if it's already been covered): Is the new/updated info from Stone and a Hard Place going to be (or already has been) added to the data set?
 
The one Zarlor posted is not the Official data set. CC dose the official set, and that one is on his list to update after SFC and SPC2ed.
 
I thought I had posted a response here, but I guess it got lost. :) But yes, as mentioned in my announcement of that data file in another thread, certainly the data file I've made available does have Stone and a Hard Place in it (although there is an Errata out now that I need to look at for any further updates) is not in any way and official data file. I cannot guarantee that any characters made with it will ever work correctly in the official file once it is released and I am not the official writer/supporter of the DLR file.

That being said, Caped Crusader has said that he is working on an update to the file, but since that is a free file while the Sci-Fi Companion and Super Powers Companion 2 files will be pay file they are taking precedent over updating the DLR file, so it may be a while before we get an official update there. I have given him directly the link to the file I've done as well, which has updates for Last Sons, and The Flood as well as Stone and a Hard Place so some of the things in my file may make it to the official release. In other words any characters created with it may be partially or possibly even fully compatible with the official version, I just have no idea how CC will want to work with the file I sent him and what improvements he will likely make to it.
 
Just a note: while not official, I do have an updated version of the datafile for Broken Earth; if anyone is interested, just PM me and I'll send you a link.
 
Hiya

I'm getting a similar problem to Arlyansor in that my Savage Worlds data files aren't being recognised.
I'm on a PC, with the right licence and install. But once I installed the latest big update for Savage worlds, it lost all my extra worlds. (Which is a pain as i'm playing Deadlands!) :)
I have all the companion updates and it worked fine before the new update.
Any help appreciated! :)
 
Do you get any error messages when you start the program at all?
Is everything working but the User Settings are showing any more?
Have you downloaded the most recent version of the Setting files? Some were recently updated.

Same thing. Can't get it to recognize anything.
 
OK, which update are we talking about? The last Savage Worlds update, or the update to Hero Lab itself?

And - What Happens. as exactly as you can describe it?
