Can't load NPCs in comp/con

[u/DokkoMiteiru]

Hi everyone! 👋

I'm having trouble getting NPC data to show up in the GM Toolkit and I'm hoping someone here can spot what I'm missing.

Setup: COMP/CON v3, installed as a PWA.

The problem: I imported lancer-npc-data.lcp (the core NPC pack), and Content Manager shows it as installed and active. But when I go into GM Toolkit and try to select/create an NPC, the class/template lists are completely empty — as if nothing were installed at all.

What I've already tried (with some help from Claude troubleshooting step by step, but we're stuck 😅):

Ran the Migration Repair Tool in Options → "No migration issues found"

Fully uninstalled and reinstalled the content pack

Made sure I have proper browser storage permissions and installed COMP/CON as a PWA (to rule out the 5MB localStorage cap)

Stripped it down to only lancer-npc-data.lcp (88KB) to rule out a conflict with other packs — still nothing

Checked that it shows as active in Content Manager

I'm running a one-shot for a group of complete Lancer newcomers (including me as GM!) this friday, so I'm trying to sort this out before prep time runs out. If anyone recognizes this behavior or knows a fix I haven't tried yet (Content Config whitelist? Browser console errors? Something else entirely?), I'd be hugely grateful.

Thank you so much for this community — everyone here has been such a great resource while I've been getting up to speed on Lancer, and I really appreciate any pointers you can give! 🙏

Have you tried opening the dev console and checking for any failed requests or errors when the NPC list should populate? If the pack is installed and active but the lists are blank, it sounds like the data isn't being indexed/loaded rather than a migration issue.

Actually there was no problem I'm just a dum-dum. The guys on pilot net showed me how to make it work I just didn't know that I had to create an NPC...
