Character Planner - Series 4.xx

[Ron]

Hey guys, I'm not sure if you've seen this before but I have a Shadar-kai build that I created in version 04.19.01 and it's crashing on load attempts in the last two versions of the build. But opens ok in 04.19.02...

If you want I can PM one of you the error log and the build file.

Hey guys, this still crashes the new planner. Can I send you the build via PM or something?

Thanks!

Yes, PM me the build save files. Raid, don't bother with the error log, those things are never useful. It's far easier for me to just reproduce the crash here with the save file.

I know you guys hear this a lot, but I don't think it is possible to hear too often: this tool means a lot to the game. Thank you so much!

Hey guys Im really thankful for your work.

Now im getting some time dead in my work and im using it to explore builds. But i have a problem.
Here the monitors are really really old i have a screen with 600x400 and i cant see well the planner. Not to mention the ability tree. Theres a way you can add a side scroll so i can use it?

Thanks Ron - file is on the way!

Using the latest version of the planner I was building a toon starting as Bladeforged and for some reason it doesn't have the option to put points in to Disable Device or Open Locks in the skills list.

What class were you? Disable Device & Open lock will only be available to characters that have at least 1 level of Rogue or Artificer in them.

Was starting as a Bladeforged Paladin but shouldn't it count as a cross class skill therefore costing double the points rather than not being there at all?

No, disable device and open lock are exclusive skills to rogues and artificers. No other class is allowed to put any points into either skill unless you have at least one rogue or artificer level.

Well I never knew that doh! Oh well back to the drawing board I go for this build I am trying to put together (actually taken some inspiration from you m8 )

Title pretty much says it all. When leveling an artificer it doesn't allow you to pick the exotic weapon proficiency feat bastard sword or dwarven waraxe as one of their class bonus feats. This was on 4.20.02 version. Thanks for all your hard work!

[Havader]

Epic Skills is a feat auto granted at every level in epic. However the planner also has it as a feat that you can take, which when I was doing a lesser reincarnate on an epic was not the case. Anyway so not sure if that is not meant to be a takeable feat, or if DDO has a bug but just letting you know.

[Amroth]

First, I must say I love your app and how versatile you have made it. I thought I found a bug (04.20.02), but it really is quite an easy fix. I found it when I was building a Shadar-Kai Artificer (Reincarnated with a +1 to remove the Rogue); I'll post it later in a different build thread.

I was unable to change the First level to Artificer until I updated RaceFile.txt with:

RACENAME: Shadar-Kai;
ADVANCEMENT: 1, CLASS, Select an Initial Class;

I was unable to add the Feat "Construct Essence" until I updated FeatsFile.txt with:

FEATNAME: Construct Essence;
RACELIST: Human, Elf, Halfling, Dwarf, Drow, Half-Elf, Half-Orc, Shadar-Kai;
LEVEL: 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3;
ACQUIRE: Train, Train, Train, Train, Train, Train, Train, Train;

The only thing I can't really figure out how to do intuitively is eat a +4 Supreme Tome prior to reincarnating. I got by with adding a +1 to each stat at L2/6/10/14 to make them apply their points correctly.

EDIT: Changed formatting (stupid IE 11)... Giving credit for Race File changes found further up in this thread (around page 4). Giving credit for the tomes also from above also (several pages back).

The archmage tree is missing the t1 enhancement line traditionalist caster.

[Amroth]

I have found a few corrections required to the EnhancementFile.txt to properly apply INT.

NAME: Intelligence;
TREE: Arcanotechnician (Art);
LEVEL: 4;
MOD1: Ability;
MODNAME1: Intelligence;
MODVALUE1: 1;


NAME: Arcane Empowerment;
TREE: Arcanotechnician (Art);
MOD1: Ability;
MODNAME1: Intelligence;
MODVALUE1: 2;


NAME: Master Engineer;
TREE: Battle Engineer (Art);
MOD1: Ability;
MODNAME1: Intelligence;
MODVALUE1: 2;

On a side note, how are Stat Enhancements supposed to be applied? I understand that Race and Class should stack, but what about two separate trees within the same class (Arcanotechnician & BE). The planner allows me INT +7 (Race +1; Arcanotechnician +2; BE +4 (+2 INT & +2 capstone)), is this possible in the game? If I could gain 4 extra AP (84 total) I could add +2 more INT with the second capstone.

Yes, all stats from all trees stack. For a common example, drow wizards get at least +8 int from enhancements. (+2 from drow, +2 from PM, +2 from AM, and +2 from the capstone.)

Anyone able to explain the option checkbox for "+4 Bonus Points (Requires 1750 Favor)" please? I have no clue what that is in reference to

A 32 point build for either VIP or someone who has earned enough favor for Champion status. Otherwise the builder/planner assumes a 28pt build.

What am I missing? The destinies, item builder and equipment buttons are all grayed out. I got the 4.20.0.2 version. I didnt find any manual for this thing, how do I get to set them as well?

The Item Build and Equipment stuff was disabled cause they were no longer useful (Buggy and missing information). The Destinies were never finished for this version. Version 4.20.02 is the final version as we are no longer updating it with new stuff.

We are currently building a new planner (version 5.0) that is a total rewrite, so all of our efforts are currently on that project and we hope to get that out to you guys in the near future.

Just wanted to reiterate how awesomely you guys rock. Many kudos.
