M&M 3rd ed. Usage pool orphaned ...

EightBitz

Well-known member
I opened a bug report, but wondering if anyone else has this issue.

In MM3e, when I open any of the stock portfolios, I get a message that says "Usage pool 'EnerSpent' has been orphaned for pick index '0'"

I can click OK on that message, and it loads the profile. I can interact with it and save it as a new file. But any other stock profile I open, I get that same usage pool message.
 
It does the same thing in my copy; "Usage pool 'EnerSpent' has been orphaned for pick index '0'".

Maybe it's trying to use some "Energy Spent" optional rule?
 
As far as the integrity of the character setup, and how it complies with the rules, is this a meaningful error or something that can be safely ignored? Anyone know?
 
I realize this thread is ancient, but I was opening some old Portfolios today and got the same error on all of them. So if the fix was supposed to go on on the program--rather than the stock portfolios--it didn't seem to happen.
 
I'm pretty sure that it was the portfolios that got changed, although I have no real proof of it. When you open the portfolio as a ZIP file and look at the XML, do they have entries for an energy pool?
 
As it turned out, when I did a save-as with the files and overwrote the old ones, the problem went away, so there's no longer a way for me to check.
