Character Planner - Series 3.xx

[Sirea]

Well, I downloaded and extracted version 3.16 the same way I did 3.14, and I'm getting an error when I try to start it up.



Is this an error on my end or your end?

Drats. Hang on. I think I might have left it in Debug mode. Give me a minute.

Alright, everyone. The new version of the planner has arrived, version 3.16. Get it at the usual place (link is in my signature).

This one features the now fully functional Item Builder. Enter the builder (use the "Item Builder" button), create your item, and add it to your inventory. It should all be pretty self explanatory. You can equip the items to see how they affect your varous stats back on the main page by hitting the "Equip" button.

Dragon has input most of the generic items. We only have a few of the named items in so far, and we will be adding those in with future releases (though of course you are free to add them in yourself through the text files).

In addition, Hordo and Dragon have fixed a myriad of bugs that were reported .And Valoir has added a whole bunch of new graphics for us (as well as updated some of our older ones).

Also with this release is the addition of a enhancement toggle checkbox, which will allow you to hid those pesky enhancements that you don't yet qualify for in the selection box

Have fun. As always, if you see any problems, don't hesitate to let us know.

Jay, trying clearing out your browser cache and redownload. I just downloaded and tested it on my daughter's computer, which has absolutley no programming utilities on it whatsoever, and it worked. So I think you are getting a cached download.

Make sure the exe file is 1536 KB. If it's less than that, you don't have the right version.

the exe from the .rar file on the site is 2.07MB o_O||||
PS: the whole .rar file is like 3.0 MB

Yeah, that's the first (broken) version with all the debug symbols embedded in it. You aren't getting a fresh download. Do the cache refresh thing, that should fix it so you can get the new download.

did the lazy way and swapped browser
didn't think I'd have to use the evil IE ever again till now
~feels dirty~

EDIT:
now i have a 1.49MB one, it works, and it says it's v.3.16

[Ron]

Cool, good deal. Sorry for the initial confusion. My bad.

It's Firefox that does the download cache thing, I believe. No idea why that would be useful for any reason whatsoever. If there is a way to turn that off (while still leaving on page caches), I would. I'm not a Firefox user, though, so I have no idea if there is such a setting.

[Jay203]

i'd suggest making default "Show Unavailable" to off

Afternoon all.

As Ron stated a few posts up, we have release the newest version of the planner (3.16). In this release we have tried to fix all the bugs that were reported and updated lots of graphics.

We have also gotten some more of the equipment side of the planner done. I'm going to try and explain how to use the new items briefly here.

To add or remove an item to your character's Inventory you will need to go into the item builder, this is where you will create all your items that can be found in game. As of this build you can only create random generic loot (ex: +5 Longsword of Greater Giant Bane) and add named items (although this is very limited atm).

Basically to add an item you will:

• Select an inventory slot on the character doll in the top left screen.
• Choose Generic or Named in the Build Type Window.
• Choose an available item from the Base window on the left.
• Then you can add the item enhancements that are available for that item.
• Once you have the item you want just click on the add button.

You will notice that as you build your item it will show in the right hand description box.

Ok, Once you have completed your item building, just click on the close button and this will take you back to the main screen and also save the items you created.

Now to equip your items, you have to click on the equip button and will bring up the character doll and the equipment select box to the left.

To equip an item just click on the slot you wish to equip to and then click on the item you wish to equip. This will update your relative stats that are affected by the item (Ability, Saves, Hit points, spell points, skill points.)

To unequip an item, just click on the equipped item.

I hope explained everything correctly for everyone.

We will be adding in more Named items and Item effects on an ongoing basis, once these are done, I will be adding in additional stats like (AC, To-Hit, DC's etc.) in the window above the equipment list that is currently blank.

Also I will be adding in the greensteel items, There is where I need help at though as I don't know all the descriptions of effect that are out there. What I need is a screenshot of all the effects that people have from those that wish to help.

Thanks all for listening/reading and I hope you enjoy the planner.

I see you are prejudice against short sword users... it's not even in ItemsFile.txt! Rapiers don't show up either, but those are in the data files. Also, I can't make Mithral Full Plate to match my pally's armor set.

looks pretty nice aside from that - needs icons eventually for equipped gear though.

Shortsword added (how i didn't see it we shall never know, must be too tall ).
Rapier, this is fixed inside the code.
Mithral effect should be getting added to the list shortly

You'll see all these updates on the next patch within a day or two, want to catch some more bug that might be there.

* Just wanted to give you guys a heads up so you would be ahead of the curve come Update 3!

Feature Requests:

• Combat DC’s calculator: Since there are a lot of enhancements that boost specific DC’s it would be nice to see a breakdown.
• Healing Amplification Calculator: Would be cool for people to really see how the multiplicative effects work.
• Sneak Attack Dice Calculator: Just SA Dice and mods. No big @$$ DPS calculators needed!
• Elemental Resistance Calculator: Since we have a lot of enhancements and Favored Soul feats it would be cool to see.
• Spell Penetration Calculator:
• Specialized Save Calculators: Perhaps below the basic saves? ex. Traps, Spells, Enchantments

Also thanks for reporting these errors, you contribution is greatly appreciated.
