Character Planner - Series 4.xx

[Stoner81]

What version was it, off the top of my head I'm thinking and Enhancement Name change has happened. If you can post or pm your save file for me to look at it please.

Sure thing will get to it tomorrow

I still can't load my Halfling Assassin build in the planner (v4.20.01)

Alright found the Issue.

Unfortunately this is one of those things where we moved something that was incorrect and now your save file has no clue where it is

To fix your save file

Open your saved file in any text editor and search for the following 3 lines

Assassin (Rog)::Measure the Foe [5-2-0-1-28],
Assassin (Rog)::Measure the Foe [5-2-0-2-28],
Assassin (Rog)::Measure the Foe [5-2-0-3-28],

You will to change the first 2 in each line to a 1 just like the following

Assassin (Rog)::Measure the Foe [5-1-0-1-28],
Assassin (Rog)::Measure the Foe [5-1-0-2-28],
Assassin (Rog)::Measure the Foe [5-1-0-3-28],

Once done, save your file and the load it up in the character planner, everything should work for you. Let me know if it doesn't.

Alright found the Issue.

Hmmm, hey Dragon, why is that causing a non-load? I thought we coded that such that if the enhancement didn't match the name of the entry in the save file, it would skip it. Is something malfunctioning there?

Than name is correct, but the Slot information is not. We moved the slot from 2 to 1.

Yeah, but the result SHOULD be the same, the name in the save file would not match the data file (in this case, I guess there wouldn't be any name in the data file for 5-2-0 at all, which may be the problem) . I'll take a look at it.

[Stoner81]

Dragon.Star you are a freaking genius! The build loaded up without issues thank you a million times over for the fix!

If I could buy you folks a pint or two I would do!

THE PLANNER IS NOT WORKING ON MY COMPUTER! I have a Dell Inspiron 15R with Windows 8, it is brand new and top of the line, but the RJCyberware wont work. It downloads it to my computer and when I try to open the file it says the isnt working and it closes the program.

In my experience, the most common cause of this is either 1) People not unzipping the download file first (trying to run the exe right out of the zip file) or B) Improperly unzipping (such that everything unzips to one folder). A properly unzipped zip file should have only the exe in the main folder, with everything else in subfolders.

Please check on these. If neither applies, let me know, and we can delve further into possible causes.

IIRC the planner requires the .NET Framework v4 so make sure you have that installed first and see if that helps.

Stoner81.

PS - I could well be wrong about .NET v4 but I could have sworn I read it somewhere.

This is not correct. The current version of the planner does NOT require .NET or any other third party library. (However, version 5.x will require a .NET framework to be installed).

Bug Report (v. 4.20.01):

The Sun Elf Tier 2 Racial Enhancement, "Enchantment Lore," should cost 1 AP instead of 2AP.

Thanks again for your and your team's hard work.

Thanks again for all the hard work you gents have done.

On v. 4.19.03 & on the wiki I noticed that Eagle Claw Attack: Fire Ki Melee Attack: Your attacks can shatter objects. You strike at weak points in your opponents armor or hide, dealing +2[W] damage and apply two stacks of the Armor Destruction effect. (Each stack reduces Armor Class by 1 and Fortification by 1% for 20 seconds. This effect can stack up to 4 times.)

This appears to be in conflict with the tool-tip in game on live which said -2AC & -2% per stack. I haven't been able to do any testing but wanted to at least make sure you were aware of it.

[TheGardes]

the tool is unusable on my computer. works fine on other computers tho. On mine, for some reason, the tool just keeps "blinking" making it impossible to click on anything. On the task bar you can briefly see it add another "window" then it goes away.. no other way to really describe it. It's like the os is creating another window, making it active, then closing it, all in the span of about 1/4 of a second.

New version up on the download page, gang. Version 04.20.02 is now available.

There are a few bug fixes in this one (adjustments to enhancement costs, mostly), but the big reason we put it up to fix a resource leak in the enhancement screen. So if you were one that opened and closed the enhancement screen a lot, and ended up getting the "white screen of death", hopefully this should take care of that little issue.

Let me know if there are any problems with the download or with running the new version or anything like that. And, as always, let us know about any bugs you run across.

SWEET!

Have I told you how much I appreciate the work you and your team have done lately? Just in case:

THANK YOU!

Bug Report (v. 4.20.2)

Bladeforge's Tier 2 Racial Enhancement, "Warforged tactics," costs 2AP in the planner, but is 1AP in game.

The Sun Elf Tier 2 Racial Enhancement, "Enchantment Lore," costs 2AP in the planner, but is 1AP in game.

In the planner's racefile.txt, I am still adding the line "ADVANCEMENT: 1, CLASS, Select an Initial Class;" in order to allow myself the option for a LR+1 heart. I do not know if this was WAI (I see your team added the ability to True Reincarnate), but wanted to bring it to your attention if not.

Thanks again for your and your team's hard work!

[Nodoze]

Big fan of the planner and the work you all do.

Sorry if this is redundant and been requested and/or reported before. On some of my iconic builds I have been LR+1ing out of the mandatory first level but couldn't figure out how to do that on 4.19.03.

Is that something that I should be able to do on 4.19.03 or on the newer version?

If not can we add that as an Enhancement Request?

Here you go, from post #148, all credit goes to Niflheimr:

A quick fix to enable True reincarnation for Iconic ...
In the datafiles, edit Racefile.txt . Search the iconic (exemple : RACENAME: Bladeforged and add the line : "ADVANCEMENT: 1, REINCARNATION, True Reincarnation;". Save and reload the builder. Now you can create 36 pts iconics !
In the same idea (same file), add the line : "ADVANCEMENT: 1, CLASS, Select an Initial Class;" for being able to select a class ... Since you can change it in game by using a heart +1 ...

Well it's a small fix, but it's useful for me, and i hope for other ppl.

Your file should look like that (for the bladeforged) :

BASESTATS: 8, 6, 10, 8, 6, 8;
ADVANCEMENT: 1, RACEANDSEX, Select a Race and Sex;
ADVANCEMENT: 1, CLASS, Select an Initial Class;
ADVANCEMENT: 1, NAMEANDALIGNMENT, Select a Name and Alignment;
ADVANCEMENT: 1, ABILITYPOINT, Ability Increase (%i points to spend), 32;
ADVANCEMENT: 1, REINCARNATION, True Reincarnation;

Thanks and +1 to you for finding that. Between the huge thread for v3.x and this new thread for v4.x my eyes are bleeding from trying to read all the posts. I can't keep up with the full thread and can barely keep up with reporting possible bugs/issues... Thanks again.

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.

[Fedora1]

Thanks for your work on this!

I downloaded the new version and first thing I did was try to load some recent saved files. Of the several I tried, one caused DDOCharGenerator to stop working and had to be closed. I went through my other saved files no problem, tried the offending one a second time with the same result of the program closing. I can send you the file if you like, but in brief it was a Kensai/Rogue Half Elf AA build. Only built up to L20, so no epic stuff invloved.

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

Thanks!
