is CreatureGen for pathfinder still prominently used? I cant get spells or SLA

I am brand spanking new to Roll20 and dove in the deep end to try and learn. the allure of CreatureGen by Ken L is what ultimately inspired me to try the pro version. I have what i believe is the most current script but i can not get spells or SLA to appear with direct copies from PRD including the example Drow Matron Ken L originally posted. Is there something i am missing? do people use a different script now? is it just the PF Character Sheet, which while nice - doesn't justify me having a Pro account. Is the API community alive and healthy for community scripts to use with pathfinder?

Ken L. departed the Roll20 community a few years ago.  There isn't any technical reason why his scripts shouldn't still be working though.  We have a fairly active community and pathfinder players certainly get use out of API scripts.  There are probably people still using CreatureGen.  Scott C. or Vince might have used it and may happen by soon.  Scott is working on a companion script for the Pathfinder Character sheet which will likely provide similar functionality.

Are you getting any errors and are you certain you're following the instructions?  If I remember correctly, it creates token actions on a token.  You might need to select off the token and back on to see them.   If you link the original CreatureGen thread here, it might help job some people's memories.
Have you tried Riley's version ?

Oh!  Good call, Silvyre!  I totally forgot about that!
Yes i am using Riley's version. i am not receiving any errors, i am just getting the generated token without any spell drop-list options. original Creaturegen script with instructions searching the post in detail i found no reason why my tests have been without spells. case sensitive and no wrapping test both double checked.

The PF sheet has changed a great deal since creaturegen was created and I don't believe it's actively suppprted anymore...  The PF sheet allows drag/drop of monsters from the compendium and a built-in HeroLab import function.  Scott is nearly done with a Pathfinder companion script that has a text-based srd/prd statblock parser and can generate token abilities from the sheet.  Might not be much reason to use another script.
