The Sci-Fi Companion is Now Available!

When the updates on a data file like that happens but then still says it needs to be updated it means it didn't actually get an updated file. It's probably a problem with my files on Dropbox which I will be trying to figure out. It's just bad timing as having a migraine can make it hard to me to think straight even after the pain is gone.
 
Ok, I tired to force an update again on 50 Fathoms and Deadlands Noir. Try those now and let me know if it's still asking to update after you've updated them.
 
Here's another weird one I just discovered. For Constructs (yes, I have an Android in the Last Parsec game my group is playing) the Hindrance: Vow shows up twice on the character sheet - once under Racial Properties and once under Hindrances. The Racial Properties Vow uses the wording from the SF Companion while the Hindrances Vow uses the wording from SW Deluxe. Any chance the Hindrances Vow can be removed when the next update comes out?

It is, but please take are of yourself first. Come back to it when that migrane abates.
 
Ok, I raised the version number one more unit on DLNoir (3.5 instead of 3.4). See if it fixes the problem for that one. If so I'll do 50 Fathoms that way,too.
 
Ok, do you see any errors with DN in the name after the update, at least? I'm not sure I know how to fix it saying there is still a new update but it SHOULD have the new file, at least (because the old file doesn't even exist on Dropbox anywhere so...)
 
The errors I'm getting are in a screen shot attachment a few posts back. There are a lot of them, but they all seem to start with edgHSFM.
 
The HS ones are for High Space, which I can't do anything about but you could move that High Space Spaceships.user file out of your data/savage folder. Your screenshot shows a single edg50 item which should be 50 Fathoms, but I'd try one last update on that one after you've moved the High Space file and, even if it still shows as needing to be updated again, just ignore that and see if you are getting any more errors.
 
On the Vow bit, the Hindrance allows a place to put in what the vow is. Since the Racial Property is that it adds that Hindrance, it likely needs to stay.
That being said, I can certainly synch up the descriptions.

I deleted all of the High Space 3rd party stuff. I'm not using it anyway.

Not getting that swath of errors now but DN and 50F are still showing available updates after trying to install them again.
 
To everyone working hard on fixing all the files, THANK YOU!

@dartnet; Will you be updating your personal DLR file that was posted in the "Stone and a Hard Place" thread? That's the file that I really NEED.

Our group has DLR character creation tonight and this update really hosed me. Fortunately, I was able to warn a couple of the players not to download the Savage Worlds update.
 
DigitalGM: I do plan to but it's going to take a bit. I have a few RL life changes taking place ATM (switching jobs) but I will fixing my files. It might just be slower then we all want.
 
dartnet: Thanks for the update. Good luck with the new job, hope all goes well. I will look forward to that update, whenever RL lets you get to it.

Methinks the Cyberware bugs are simply misunderstandings... The others are issues I'll attend to.

I'm not sure if you're referencing my queries about assigning skills as Robot Mods. If so then I can assure you it's not a misunderstanding - the rest of the Robot Mods appear to work just fine but Skills as Mods are not working correctly. If it will help I will happily take a number of screen shots to help.
 
Robotic Modifications Screen Captures

OK - here are some links to screen captures I made when trying to use the Robotic Modifications (I've also included descriptions to explain what each image is showing). I hope these help in some way and please let me know if I am doing something wrong...

01) https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/343486/Hero Lab SFC Screen Shots/01.png

So far so good - 0.2 Mod slots remaining. Skill Mods are for skills that were already chosen with the 15 points allocated during character generation; hence the dice increases already show in the Abilities column for the relevant skills.

02) https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/343486/Hero Lab SFC Screen Shots/02.png

Not so good - choosing a fifth Skill Mod causes mayhem. Robotic Modifications show 5 of 5 Mods used but there are now error messages saying Mod slots exceeded.

03) https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/343486/Hero Lab SFC Screen Shots/03.png

Further verification of error messages after using Skill Mods.

04) https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/343486/Hero Lab SFC Screen Shots/04.png

OK - removed fifth Skill Mod (so now at 4.8 of 5 Mods) so no error messages. The Skill Mod for Lockpicking is highlighted in red; this is because Lockpicking has NOT previously been chosen as a Skill during character generation. Lock picking does NOT show up in the Abilities column at this time. Error message states “Skill: Must have a Skill for this Robotic Modification.”

05) https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/343486/Hero Lab SFC Screen Shots/05.png

So, I now go to the New Skills from Robotic Modifications section and add Lockpicking. Now Lockpicking shows up as d6 (it should be d4) and the Skills tab is now highlighted in red (error states Skill Points: Resource overspent).

06) https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/343486/Hero Lab SFC Screen Shots/06.png

Confirmation of the impact of choosing a new Skill in Robotic Modifications (Lockpicking highlighted in blue) - Skills now show overspent by 1 point.
