Slayer class missing?

I may just be overlooking something, but... is the Slayer (a la Essentials) available in Hero Lab? I'm just not seeing it in the class dropdown list, so I don't know if I somehow didn't get the latest download, or what.

At any rate- thanks to Colen and all those involved in the recent updates! HeroLab is probably my favorite chargen tool overall. :)
 
Yeah I am having the same problem its looking like the Essentials classes are still not there, though I could be wrong. IT could have downloaded them and they're not showing on the list for some reason.
 
The output.txt shows the following problem with some classes:
Couldn't get abbreviation for class Cavalier
>>> Error outputting class Cavalier
>>> No XML node created for class Cavalier

The same goes for:
Couldn't get abbreviation for class Hexblade
Couldn't get abbreviation for class Hunter
Couldn't get abbreviation for class Knight
Couldn't get abbreviation for class Mage
Couldn't get abbreviation for class Scout
Couldn't get abbreviation for class Sentinel
Couldn't get abbreviation for class Slayer
Couldn't get abbreviation for class Thief
Couldn't get abbreviation for class Warpriest
 
Ok so your saying based on these errors that the downloader got the data and then errored it out?
 
After poking around in the ddidownloader files it seems to be disabled by choice. The file mapping.xml contains the following:
<!-- Essentials classes will be problematic to include -->
<!--<tuple a="clsCavalie" b="Cav"/>
<tuple a="clsHexblad" b="Hex"/>
<tuple a="clsHunter" b="Hun"/>
<tuple a="clsKnight" b="Kng"/>
<tuple a="clsMage" b="Mag"/>
<tuple a="clsScout" b="Sct"/>
<tuple a="clsSentinel" b="Sen"/>
<tuple a="clsSlayer" b="Sly"/>
<tuple a="clsThief" b="Thf"/>
<tuple a="clsWarpriest" b="Wpr"/>-->

There is probably a good reason they did this but if you want you can edit the file so it will at least try to download these classes.
Open the file \HeroLab\data\4e\ddidownloader\mapping.xml with notepad.
Search for the line containing Essentials classes will be problematic.
Remove the <!-- in front of the Cavalier line and the --> at the end of the Warpriest line so it will have the abbreviations.
Again this is gonna give other problems else they wouldn't have done this. Try at your own risk!
