You must switch to the ''ADVANCED'' tab on the SELECT SOURCES window. PCGen's default basic set loaders will not load these custom homebrew sets. In order to make use of new content, you will have restart PCGen if already started. NOTE: Content is only discovered and processed when the PCGen program starts up. Also note, if those items are updated, you will need to re-copy and paste them to the correct location to apply the new changes. Leaving that in the data folder will not cause any issues for pcgen, but, if you do not copy the content into your installed pcgen folder, those additional options ''will not'' be available. These options include such things as: gamemodes (Game Systems not already included in your PCGen installation), outputsheets (Exported Character Sheet options for those other game systems), preview sheets (Same as outputsheets), etc.

These will need to be copied to the correct correlating pcgen installation folders to get the full benefit of additional options. IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ: Included in the repository are additional folders that are not DATA content. NOTICE: In order to use ALL of the data sources and the extra game systems, you must copy the 'system\gameMode' folder into your PCGen installation 'system\gamemode'. I highly recommend using 'Vendor Data' (any version of pcgen) or Homebrew Data (new in 6.3) folders outside the main installation, this makes upgrading your pcgen version easier. Instead, you can place them as-is into a valid pcgen recognized 'data' folder of your choosing.

These Book data sets are not meant to be "Installed" using the Install feature in PCGen. I found this is the method to keep my data sync'd with the repo and allows for testable fixes and pushing those to the repo. It also saves bandwidth since you are only downloading changes, not the whole repository. This allows easy updates when they happen (via a git pull). Then open PCGen, go to Tools>Preferences and in the Location tab under the PCGen drop-down, change the folder path of "PCGen Vendor Data Directory" or "PCGen Homebrew Data Directory" to the directory you cloned the repo into. The better method is to install GIT and a GIT Client, and clone the repository to a location outside of the PCGen installation directory.

Save the zip folder to a valid pcgen recognized data folder of your choice. (Master is for the latest version whether alpha, beta, rc or production, Branches that are using the versioning system of pcgen is meant to work with the same version of pcgen, example 6.04.01 branch is designed to be compatible with PCGen version 6.04.01)

The easier method is to use the GITHUB download option - please note that the download will change based upon branch currently selected, allowing a choice of versions. Two methods exist to get the content onto your system. I post about once a month on current projects or ideas. I have a discussion group for homebrewers, please join to share ideas and of course make requests. To get the optimal results and least amount of conflicts, you should use the core sets and books available in this repository. I try to use the latest fixes and improvements found in the development line, if you grab the master branch be sure to use the latest developmental version of PCGen. Many of the latest features will require you to utilize the latest version (unstable if necessary) of pcgen. It is always recommended that you use the latest available release of PCGen when using these sets from the master branch or the versioned branch for the production, i.e. You have the option of a production release, such as 6.08.x or grabbing the current development release and/or autobuilds such as 6.09.x. To get the most from these sets, you will need the following: This is for my growing collection of PCGen compatible books and game systems.
