Do you mind taking a look at the formating for the notable equipment section?

This is the export function's output with all the boxes but that unchecked. It will also happen when other boxes are checked.

Found a small typo in the "ItemEffectsFile" file that prevents one sovereign rune from getting loaded.

Radiance guard effect reads "DT Soverign"...
Should be :

Radiant, not raidant too...

Will this character planner have Epic Destiny planner, too?

Great program and found a couple of bugs when building a ranged archer build.

Combat Archery is listed as a selecteable feat but it shouldn't be available as it is an epic feat.

The Point Black Shot feat is giving Archer's Focus feat when that is granted by Precise shot.

Couldn't find these previously reported.

I downloaded the latest version of the character planner and can't get it to run.
When I open it I get a pop up that it has stopped working and it shuts down.

Maybe I didn't clear my browser cache correctly, maybe someone could explain.
I am running Windows Vista.
Any help you can offer me would really be appreciated, thanks!

If there's an error code in the "stopped working" box, that would really help.

Hi Argent, thanks for your reply.

No error code comes up.
Popup contents:

DDOCharGen.exe has stopped working

A Problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

Just wondering will this app( which is GREAT ) ever be made for an android device? ??

OK, then two things that come to mind:

- First, try the download again maybe even with another browser, if available, and
uncompress it to a different folder. While unlikely, it could be that you got a bad
download.

- Second, go to where DDOCharGen.exe is located, right-click, Properties, Compatibility
Tab, check the box, and in the pulldown select Windows XP, Accept, and try to
launch it again. You shouldn't have to do this, but it's worth trying.

Yeah, Ron, while I'm thinking of it, there's a tool called MoSync that would let
you compile your C++ backend into a library that will run on Android or iOS mobile.
Of course, the real issue is the screen assets, and even with a 7" tablet, you'd
likely need several pages (probably 3) for the main screen alone. But after a couple
of months of doing Android development, it probably could be done - after all, all
the really hard work is in the backend validation...

Right?

I find 9 times out of 10 when somebody has this issue it's one of two things. One, either you didn't decompress the download and are trying to run the exe right out of the zip file (this will not work, heh), or it was decompressed incorrectly and you have no subfolders (i.e. you have all the graphic files in the parent folder). Make sure the parent folder has only the exe in it along with a few subfolders.

If that's not it, let me know and we can move to other less common problems.

You shouldn't have to enable any compatibility modes. I run it on Vista and it works for me.

Well get on it then!

I can't do it myself. A) I don't have a device to test it on and B) I don't have the time. I can't even keep up with all the stuff I want to do with the Windows version, much less try and add another version on top of that. I would be more than willing to share the code with anyone that wants to try to port it though, and even help out with questions. But I can't take on that project, I have far too much going on as it is.

[Ron]

Will this character planner have Epic Destiny planner, too?

Yes, that is the plan. I don't yet have a timeline for it (probably around the same time I get forum export templates done, a revamped print output done, and epic levels done, heh). But we do intend to add them.

[actually, epic levels should be in with the next release...]

[Zipwire]

Hiya Ron, thanks for your reply.
I know you are busy but really appreciate you taking the time to help me.

I deleted first download, the zip and extracted files.
I then extracted to my desktop and it seems to load just fine.
I thought I did it the same way as previous versions but who knows.

I didn't think I did what you mentioned but maybe I did without realizing it. lol
Thanks again for your great planner and all the work you put into it!

[Ron]

Well cool, I'm glad you got it working, whatever the problem was. Maybe the zip extractor just had a bad day and messed something up, heh.

[FreeMemory]

I think it's a recent change (update 15?) but significant on the warforged builds is that Warforged Healer's Friend I, II, III enhancements are only 1,2,3 AP instead of 2,4,6 AP and have different descriptions, basically stating healing is now 60%, 70%, 80% effective. Do you have an updated version coming out anytime soon?
I know. Turbine is changing the rules faster than you can change the planner, not only needing updates, but probably creating issues with saved versions of builds on older versions if it does get updated.

[Cigaran]

I've been using your Character Planner and am enjoying it quite a bit. Thanks so much for all the work!

I have however noticed an issue. In version 3.14.02, when building an Artificer there is no option to select Combat Casting at any level. I've double checked in-game and as of now, it is listed as an option for Artificer.

[Bolo_Grubb]

will epic levels be included some day? Mostly wonder just for planning the 2 extra feats and making sure I get any needed pre-requirements for them.

Thanks for a great tool.

Heh I understand...I literally have like 2 or 3 seconds between calls at work if its a slow day so my work posts are usually a bit of a mess and require editing when I get home but yeah the Ron tracker is a great tool
