SovietOnion,
The issue is normally in the "class" box. Players need to fill this in as one of these values based on the weapon:
Melee Weapons: Primitive, Chain, Power, Shock, or simply Melee
Ranged Weapons:Pistol, Basic, Heavy, Grenade, Thrown or simply Ranged
Any other values will error. The start of the thread is also a basic ruleset users guide that should cover this also.
I've been tinkering around with my reference module that I'm creating for my DH campaign using the Dark Heresy v3.2 ruleset by Danny & Paul (under the CoreRPG v3.1.7) - and I'm nearly complete.
The minor problem right now is my drag & drop from my reference module to the character sheet. I thought I'd start with an "easy" task and try to do the Talents. I've attached a code sample to see if anyone would like to comment as to how ignorant I am. I've used this format after reviewing an export character. When I drag and drop nothing happens.
<talents>
<id-00002>
<benefit type="string">this is talent description</benefit>
<locked type="number">0</locked>
<name type="string">this is talent name</name>
<shortcut type="windowreference">
<class>ref_talent</class>
<recordname></recordname>
</shortcut>
</id-00002>
</talents>
I'm reviewing past forum posts now - hoping to come across someone with a similar problem.
My work-around right now is to just fill in a character template with all the talent entries so that the player doesn't have to spend the time to type it in. This activity so "OK" but I would like to take it a little bit further with a drag and drop.
Anyways..., thanks for reading.

Rook,
There is a specific way you would need to build a reference module. There are several pretty good examples of how to build one. The basics are to understand the way the rule set references the different fields in the shortcuts.
Here is an example of how a talent would need to be called out:
There is a header I don't remember the exact format, but I know this works:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<root version="2.0">
Then start building the module data. First you have to build the library links:
<root>
<library static="true">
<nameofyourmodule>
<name type="string"> Name of your module </name>
<categoryname type="string">WH40k Dark Heresy</categoryname> <-- This is needed as is to point to the correct ruleset
<entries>
<character_talents>
<librarylink type="windowreference">
<class>referenceindex</class>
<recordname>lists.talents@Name of your module</recordname>
</librarylink>
<name type="string">Character - Talents</name>
</character_talents>
</entries>
</nameofyourmodule>
</library>
Then the actual talent description list:
<reference static="true">
<talents>
<nameoftalent>
<name type="string">Name of Talent</name>
<type type="string">Type of talent here (General for instance)</type>
<prerequisites type="string"> What is required here </prerequisites>
<description type="formattedtext">
<p>
Talent description
</p>
<p>
2nd paragraph, just keep formatting as needed.
</p>
</description>
</nameoftalent>
</talents>
</reference>
Then finally the index list:
<lists static="true">
<talents>
<name type="string">Talents</name>
<index>
<nameoftalent>
<listlink type="windowreference">
<class>referencetalent</class>
<recordname>reference.talents.nameoftalent@Dark Heresy Basic Rules</recordname>
</listlink>
<name type="string">Name of Talent</name>
</nameoftalent>
</index>
</talents>
</lists>
</root>
Wow, that is a wall of text. I wonder if the 5e parser could be configured to DH? That is the format. You could do that for skills too.
Guys, I am working on updating the Dark Heresy rule set for the coming FFG v3.2. There are some changes in v3.2 that need to be worked in. I have a version working with 3.2 now, and have started to work on a graphics update. This is extensive. Attached is a screen shot of the new typical window.
Few notes, the search field will change that is a placeholder currently. The two white eagles at the top of the window will have a "message of the day" quote there in the final version. Coming up with a script to cycle thru a batch of random quotes. The red button is the frames will change also. Not sure what to yet, but they are unfinished. Work in progress, comments appreciated.
Nice touch using the data-slate 71.RT...., made me smile ��. And the addition of a random message of the day will be great, it reminds me of the 1st DOW start screen.
In summary, that layout looks great. It will add to a great atmosphere for the ruleset. Can't wait to try it out.

It is for Dark Heresy version 1. I understand that someone has modded this for v.2 but I have not seen it myself.
Currently I am updating the DH v1. After that is complete, I will be work on a DH v2. There isn't too much different. I have a bit of skill work to do, and a revamp of the psychic page. Subtlety track will be added also.
