    Ok.I am trying to import a new character for my Sunday game and i get the following error.

    This plugin is invalid. Please recompile it using the latest API and try again.
    Caused by: Unexpected exception
    Caused by: Unable to load Document from file: C:\HeroLab\Portfolios\d20pro\Edward Geraldine.hld20pro
    Caused by: Element type "attack" must be followed by either attribute specifications, ">" or "/>".

    I have no idea what "elemental type attack" is/

    I found the issue. The name of the weapon is Father's ... The ' is throwing off the xml file. Since 'name' is used to store string value. With the name of the weapon being 'Father's Legacy' that extra ' in the middle causes the xml file to choke.

    Remove the apostrophe and it will import just fine.

    which version of herolabs are you using?

    I was talking with Colen and HeroLabs and he wanted to know which version you are using.

    Interesting...

    Colen, the guy that does Herolabs exporter, stated it shouldn't do that. Hmmm ok, I am going to do some more testing on it to see if I can figure out where it is freaking out.

    I did some more testing and there is a bug on HeroLab side of things. I have emailed them with more details so they can fix the bug.

    As for now just do not put an apostrophe in any names.

    I am on new everything and am now getting a similar error when doing an import of a portfolio with a large number of PF creatures from the official HL Bestiary.

    String index out of range, requesting that there be a recompile.

    The portfolio in question had a lot of "Half-XXXX" creatures, and I thought that perhaps the dash was causing trouble, but changing their names didn't seem to help...individual creatures from the batch (letters E through H, got A through D to run with NO errors) seem to load/import.

    Thoughts?

    Tried I through M entries - - got different API issue. I would have thought using ONLY HL sold datasets with vanilla D20Pro would actually have worked.

    UPDATE: Curious, I decided to run through the I through M monsters ONE by ONE (YUCK!), and they all loaded until I got to the Kyton, when I got the API error and it told me that the problem was an input string;

    "2 (good weapons and spells,silver weapons)".

    so it's likely in the content output by HL case by case...???

    d20Pro importer does not recognize the line
    Code:
    <special name="Regeneration 2 (good weapons and spells, silver weapons)">Heal HP quickly and cannot die.</special>
    More Specifically
    Code:
    ...name="Regeneration"...
    I tried all sorts of combinations, and narrowed it down to d20Pro importer of a herolab d20pro exported file does not like "regeneration". If I rename this special ability anything else, it works. Even if I misspell the word like below the importer works with no errors.

    Code:
    <special name="Regenoration 2 (good weapons and spells, silver weapons)">Heal HP quickly and cannot die.</special>

    You know I thought I had fixed that bug... must have another one. It comes when trying to determine the value of the regeneration.

    Change it to "Regeneration 2" and it should work.

    I will get this one on the list.

    Already tried this, anything with the name "Regeneration" does not work, even if you add characters after.

    This is the exported file which contains two heroes, one of which gets an error message during the import process. I have isolated the line and surrounded it with empty space so you can find it easy.

    Again, it works if you misspell Regeneration. It works when you only put "Regeneration 2". But it does not work if you use "Regeneration_______" (where "_____" equals more text) or "Regeneration 2 (something here)"

kyton can control up to four chains within 20 feet as a standard action, making the chains dance or move as it wishes. In addition, a kyton can increase these chains' length by up to 15 feet and cause them to sprout razor-edged barbs. These chains attack as effectively as the kyton itself. If a chain is in another creature's possession, the creature can attempt a DC 15 Will save to break the kyton's power over that chain. If the save is successful, the kyton cannot attempt to control that particular chain again for 24 hours or until the chain leaves the creature's possession.
