Character Planner - Series 3.xx

[Greeka]

Had not been on the boards for a few days to check this thread. In the kensai fighter build with thrown weapons there was no levels of ranger taken, went a pure fighter to 20 and was able to open multishot due to getting the prerequisite feats.

so?
you can do that on live already, so wheres the problem?^^

Are you willing to give out the source code? I'd like to play around with the code, maybe translate to C#.

Ooo ... Id be willing to help with that!

Not sure if this has been mentioned previously: Rogue class feats are selectable as regular feats. Is this working as intended?

[Dragon.Star]

dont know if its mentioned yet but i could take the wf pa enhancement even without having the pa feat

This has been fixed and will be out with the next update

Which ones in particular?

Which ones in particular?

At level 10 rogue (character level 18) I selected crippling strike as my rogue feat. I was able to place all of the other rogue class feats (slippery mind, improved evasion, etc) in the regular level 18 feat slot.

That's by design. Rogue bonus feats are like Fighter bonus feats, they are extra feat slots, but the feats that can be put into those slots are not exclusive to those slots. They can also be added to the normal slots.

Contrast with Ranger FE or FvS class feats, which in fact ARE exclusive to those slots.

I've downloaded and extracted a couple times just to check, but the window title still states v 3.05.

I was having the same problem on one of my machines - it kept downloading 3.0 instead of 3.06. I tried downloading it on a second machine and got 3.06 no problem. I tried clearing my browser cache on the first machine but that didn't work.

Then I found a post Ron made on his own forums about his site changing this week and that the DNS was going to change. I tried flushing my DNS cache (use the command "ipconfig /flushdns" - with no quotes - at a command prompt) and I was able to download 3.06 on the first machine.

If anyone is having this same problem lately and clearing the browser cache isn't working try clearing your DNS cache and see if that works.

I also want to add my own praise for you, Ron, for this awesome tool. Now that I use the planner I cannot imagine ever rolling up another character without it. It is by far the most indispensable tool for DDO and I use it several times a day, every day. Builds can become an obsession and this tool satisfies the "What if..." questions that keep popping into my head. Thank you and your team so much for creating this tool and thanks for continuing to keep it updated.

AFAIK, that's wrong. The Rogue Speciality feats are slot-exclusive. I've never seen Crippling Strike or Skill Mastery in a regular feat slot listed in-game.

Ah, yeah, that's a good point. My web site server was moved this week, so there may be propigation issues and/or DNS issues. Clearing your DNS cache is good advice if you are having this problem.

Well thanks! While this project has been quite time consuming over the years, it has also been quite rewarding as well. I'm glad it's a help.

Truth? Hmmmmm. Okay, I'll check that out.

I'll log on my Rogue to verify. Give me a few minutes.

[Tanka]

Tested on a Rog15/Ftr1, switched out GTWF which was taken at L15.

Neither Skill Mastery nor Slippery Mind were available, which are two of the Rogue Feats I have not taken.

Interesting. Okay, easy enough to repair. I'll put in a fix for this.

[Lerincho]

Hey Ron, great work. Question for you though.

Favored Soul, how come only at first level it shows all the faith base feats, but as you level up you don't gain them?

[Ron]

Because I borked them when I put in a fix for something else, and then didn't spend enough time checking to make sure everything was working correctly when we put out 3.06

oh just curious. amazing work you do. wasn't sure if it had been brought to your attention or not.

Any thoughts on this? PM me if you want.

[Ron]

I dunno, I'm a bit torn about handing out my source code so that you can produce a competing product It takes a lot of time and dedication to create and maintain a complex project like this, and I kind of feel like if you have that time and dedication, then you should be able to build such an application yourself. Having said that, you are welcome to use my text files all you want. I'll give you that much of a shortcut

I have to ask, though: What is the purpose? The planner is already written in OO C++, so all you would end up with (using C#) would be a slower version of the same thing with an added dependence on .NET (which, BTW, is not used in the planner, so converting over the UI would not be trivial) and CLR.
