Character Planner - Series 3.xx

[Ron]

one question - do you watch scrubs?

I used to (it was a good show, but it should have ended two or three years ago, if not more). And yes, that's where Turkleton came from

anytime fighter enhancements are involved
and the weapon focus/specialization feat lines aren't properly restricted
i could choose to take weapons specialization with 6/2/1 Ranger/Monk/Fighter

Ok that answers my question in my last post . To be honest I'm not sure if this is working correctly or not as I have never built a toon with less then 4 levels of fighter. I'll look into the issue though.

Kensai signiture weapons should probably get spread into 3 tiers for I, II , and III

We actually try and match the program to resemble the game as much as possible, that way we can keep track of what is new and what has changed a lot easier.

Class granted feats that aren't suppose to be selectable (like wholeness of body, fast movement) are appearing on the feat selection

I'll add this into my list of stuff to look into.

more to come if i find anything else funky
EDIT: Bow Strength isn't added in?

I thought i took care of this, but will check again.

Thanks again for this excellent tool! I really appreciate all your hard work.

Hmmm. I just tried to download the latest version and it told me that the zipped folder contained no files to extract.

Yeah, it looks like I broke something. Feats with class level restrictions are using character levels rather than class levels, apparently. Guess we'll be doing a maintenance release, eh Dragon?

Class granted feats that aren't suppose to be selectable (like wholeness of body, fast movement) are appearing on the feat selection

I made this change on purpose, because that's what the game does if you select "Show unavailable" in the feat selection screen (it shows them in greyscale)

EDIT: Bow Strength isn't added in?

Bow Strength is there. What's not working? I had it working for FvS, because that's one I was using for some testing.

[Dragon.Star]

Ok, looked into Bow Strength. Everything seems to be working fine as it showed up for me on both the fighters and Favored souls as a selectable Feat.

Please remember that it does have some pre-reqs that have to be taken first and also remember that fighter can't take until 4th and Favored Soul at 6th..

Needs All

• Feat Weapon Focus: Ranged Weapons
• Feat Point Blank Shot;

Needs one of the following:

• Feat Power Attack
• Feat Combat Expertise
• Feat Weapon Specialization: Ranged Weapons;

I'm a new subscriber that was lucky enough to find a link to the previous version when I started last month. I've been using it and eagerly awaiting this new version (just downloaded it).

I can't tell you how useful I've found this tool! I think all users, especially new users, should use it.

Thank you very much!

[Tanka]

Awesome tool Ron. Thanks for the update!

[Aesop]

Thanks Ron



Some Bugs
1. Fighter Only Feats like Greater Weapon Focus are becoming available even when I don't meet the requisite Fighter Levels (Character Levels match but not class levels)

2. Elven Arcane Archer Conjure +4 Arrows didn't recognise the Prerequisite Elven Arcane Archer Conjure +3 Arrows... even though I had the prereq I couldn't select it.

Ron is looking into this problem, for some reason the program is looking at character level instead of class level.

2. Elven Arcane Archer Conjure +4 Arrows didn't recognise the Prerequisite Elven Arcane Archer Conjure +3 Arrows... even though I had the prereq I couldn't select it.

Just did a fix for this one, so it should show up in the next maintenance update.

I downloaded it and installed, and it errors, "This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."

Delete, reinstall, twice, same issue.

Alright, new thread for the new major version number.

I just posted the new character planner, Version 3.05. This one goes up through Level 20 and includes Favored Soul. Go ahead and pick it up, the link is in my sig.

The changelog for this one is kind of general, and doesn't really do justice to the extent of the changes made. But that's alright, hopefully most of them you won't really even notice (lots and lots of bug fixes in this one).

Version 3.05
============
1) Level cap raised to 20.

2) Favored Souls!

3) Equipment has now returned to the planner.

4) Added a new sorting option for known enhancements. You can now either sort them by parent heading and name, or by level taken.

5) Added a "Collapse All" and "Expand All" button to the selectable enhancement lists.

6) Many fixes to the text files, especially in enhancements.

Caviats:
1) Equipment is still a work in progress. I had originally turned it off for a good reason, in that it was causing instability. Now DragonStar has made a fair number of changes and additions, and hopefully we got some of them out, but I harbor no illusions that every piece of equipment is working right, and in fact, may very well cause program crashes. PLEASE save your characters before starting to mess with equipment until we can get the problem items locked down and workikng.

2) When you select the Enhancements instruction, especially for Fighters, the program will not respond for a second. I'm looking into the cause for this now, but in the meantime, just be patient. It should only take a second or two for it to come back up.

As always, if you find bugs or discrepancies between the planner and DDO, please let me know.

tks a lot

awsome thanks dude all rdy have made aobut 6 builds on that thing in about 1 hour

the enhancement file for Paladin's Hunter of the dead Enhancement has a typo, requiring "Enhancement: Paladin: Improved Turnign I" which should of course be "Enhancement: Paladin: Improved Turning I". Also, I was not able to take stalwart defender any higher than tier I because it required "Fighter Stalwart Defender" but the enhancement heading was "Stalwart Defender." Let me know if you want me to send a fixed enhancement .txt file to you to save you some time.

Ron, you rock!
