Hi,

I apparently have two entries for the Combat Medic repaint in my H/W list, so any time I try to save anything in the Organized Play section of my H/W it gives me an error.

Can someone remove either entry?

Thanks!

Sigh... I've fixed the problem with the op repaints for your H/W data, but I've discovered another bug in the process.

The XML export isn't exporting data from Blood War, so in the process your current H/W for Blood War was erased. I have your original H/W list open in another tab (luckily), so I can re-enter that data manually, and hopefully by the time you read this it will be all fixed

Your H/W data should be fixed (including Blood War) again.

You will probably need to fix the numbers for the Combat Medic repaint, and will probably also want to double check the quantities you have for the Longtooth Barbarian and Burning Skeleton repaints since those are prone to issues because they share an id of 17.

LCS, it works now. Thanks for fixing that, and not making me re-renter my BW inventory.

Out of curiousity, as I had this issue happen to me before, what exactly causes the problem?

The fine mods fixed the issue in my list, but I am curious.

Well, I think I found out where the BW minis inventory went when it disappeared. Now I have 2 complete listings for WotDQ, the first one of each number is the actual quantities, and the second one is what my BW inventory was for teh same mini number.

I thought it wasn't exporting the most recent sets because of a missing field in the data for them, but it is actually triggering a bug in the import/export tool and being reported as part of the prior set.

I'll work on fixing your H/W data later tonight, and I'll post here to let you know when I'm done.

Omand, there seem to be several causes.

Initially, most of the problems were caused by the instability of the old server when a user was updating their H/W data.

There are also several bugs in the import/export tool that can cause duplicate entries. One is related to duplicate "id numbers" which is triggered when our information on minis has the wrong number (or the right number in the case of the D&DC17 repaints). Another has to do with fields not being zeroed before reading in a new line of data, so if any of the fields are missing it uses the data from the previous line for that field, which is triggered internally when our data is missing fields and also when someone edits the xml file and ends up with multiple line break characters or makes a typo.

ckissee, your H/W list data should be fixed. Let me know if you notice any stray double entries, but I think I got everything.
