Version 7.19 of the Pathfinder files for Hero Lab is now available

A new update of the Pathfinder files for Hero Lab is now available from the automatic updates mechanism within Hero Lab.

We've added more content from third party publishers. Rite Publishing is now selling a Hero Lab version of their 1001 Spells book though Hero Lab's purchase system. 1001 Spells is available for $9.99.

Also, in case you missed it, our last update (which happened during Gen Con) included new packages from two other third party publishers. Frog God Games' Tome of Horrors IV is available for $14.99, and Kobold Press' Midgard Campaign Setting is available for $9.99.

Our last update also added several books from Paizo to Hero Lab. The big one was Mythic Adventures, which is available as its own package for $9.99. We also added Demon Hunter's Handbook and Faiths and Philosophies to our existing Player Companion #12, which is available for $4.99, and already contained the Pathfinder Society Primer. We also added Demons Revisited as the first item in a new Campaign Setting #11 package. This package is available for $4.99, and will have other books from the Campaign Setting line added to it in future releases (the exact books have not been determined yet).

This update also adds player content from Adventure Path #73, and includes several bug fixes.

Here's the change list for this update:
(The change lists for all updates can be viewed by choosing "Pathfinder Roleplaying Game FAQ" from the Help menu within Hero Lab)

Enhancements & Changes

Data File Authoring

  • The rSpConcen field was added to races. This field stores the Concentration check for racial spell-like abilties.
 
The 1001 Spells Hero Lab comes with the pdf download, which does not mesh well with the new update. Is the intention for those that have everyone to buy the data set now (instead of getting it free with the pdf)?

I don't know but I have the one that came with the pdf and it blows up my Hero Labs with the Duplicate Record Error
 
Note from Rite Publishing from the Paizo boards:

[quote="Rite Publishing]
If you read the email about the update you will find that the complimentary Hero Lab files were deleted, and are no longer valid, we have signed a license with Wolf's Lair Development and selling the Hero Lab files directly through Hero Lab.

If you wish to use the hero lab files you will have to purchase them.

This incompatibility may change when we do an update to the hero lab files, but we don't' have a scheduled update at this time.

Make sure you update the Community Packages (in this case Psionics Unleashed) at the same time you update Pathfinder. This was fixed a month+ ago. :)

HL should be telling you that an update is available.

Interesting, I didn't have that update showing. So I went and reupdated the source link. Now it shows the Psionics Unleashed update so I'll download it and try it again.

EDIT: Updating Psionics Unleashed to 1.8 didn't do any good. I then checked the file versions of the rest of the community files and found that most of them were out of date and that HL wasn't saying I had anything to update. So I manually updated them all and the errors are gone. Thanks :D

Do you have the community packages installed into secondary game folders as that is the only time I have seen where HL does not auto tell a person about an update.

Basically when you start HL do you have one or more "Pathfinder" games you can select on start up?
 
Yes, I actually have three. I have the main pathfinder folder, untouched, then I copied it to two other folders, one for DM and one for Players. Each having a different configuration file. When I updated the source web address it showed all three needed to have Psionics updated.
 
After this new patch the "Pathfinder's Kit" no longer shows up on the ipad version of herolabs and character that own a "Pathfinder's Kit" get a validation results error.

I've also noticed that all the 1001 Spells show up on all my characters spell lists when looking to add spells, even though I don't have the 1001 Spells. My character's are also tagged as PFS Legal characters, the spells should not be showing up but I see no way to turn it off on the ipad.

Please put in a Bug Report for this. Posting in one of the forum thread means your report will just get lost.

Apologies on the 1001 spells. It accidentally went out a little early I'll be getting the update to LW very soon to fix that.

There are actually 2 different bug reports.

After this new patch the "Pathfinder's Kit" no longer shows up on the ipad version of herolabs and character that own a "Pathfinder's Kit" get a validation results error.

This is a LW bug report that can be filed here as Shadow mentioned.

Looks like this one is a problem with the 1001 Spells file from Rite Publishing, and could be reported on Rite Publishings Bug Reports. (Though he is aware of it and working on the problem.)

It is important to make sure you are filing the bug report to the correct people.
