Spell Compendium Issue

[justinthebig]

Since updating to HL 3.7 and PF 5.4 the Spell Compendium data does not work. It says critical information not found in data files SC. Any characters that were using spells from Spell Compendium no longer have them available to use and have instead empty spell slots. Is there a solution to this where I can continue to use SC material in PF?

In the new update of Hero Lab the folder in which the .user files were stored has changed.

From the HL manual about where 3.7 puts its stuff.

By default, Hero Lab keeps its files in three places. They are:

• Install Folder – Where Hero Lab is installed. By default, this will be something like "C:\Program Files\Hero Lab". You pick this when you install the product.
• Program Data Folder – Where Hero Lab keeps its data files. This will be something like "C:\ProgramData\Hero Lab" on Windows 7, or "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Hero Lab" on Windows XP/Vista.
• User Data Folder – This is different for each windows user, and will typically be something like "My Documents\Hero Lab" (note that "My Documents" is a different folder for each windows user).

The images are stored with the User Data folder or My Documents now. So if you use File->Open from inside of HL you will be able to get to your characters(ie .por files) but the "Recent" links will be broken.

The last thing is from inside of HL in the Tools->Explore Folders (or something like that not near HL) you can have HL open up the different locations in Windows Explore so you can see where they are stored.

So I would check that your spell compendium .user file is in the correct folder.

If that doesn't work, can you post the error msg that you get when you load your portfolio? It will help determine what they problem may be.
