Character Builder Lite

Well, it annoys me as much as it annoys everyone else, so I'm motivated to find a solution.

I think the best bet will be to support opening the relevant wiki page by right-clicking any item in a listbox. There's a technical issue with this -- namely that the listboxes I use don't support right-clicking so I'll have to manually figure out the clicked item based on mouse and scroll position -- but this is one of the features I forgot to mention that I'd like to see be part of 1.1.

Heck, it's possible to get it in for 1.0.3 since I don't *think* it will be overly difficult or time-consuming.

EDIT: A quick googling turns up exactly the code I'm looking for, woot!

google and vodka (or 101 Wild Turkey or EJ) - a stuck coders best midnight friend! :P

All I can say is that there is no virus in it to my knowledge. The complete source code is available.

I was not at all trying to say that it has a virus. I initially made that post to both inform and hoping that someone had some idea of what I can do about it - I have no idea what "SONAR.Heuristic.120" is. Upon doing a search (after making that post), I found a thread on the Norton's forums saying something to the effect that Norton's behaves this way with newly-developed software and that I need to set Norton's to ignore it if I know that it is safe. So, FYI for anyone else who has this issue

Some translation:

SONAR = Fancy word meaning detected while scanning
Heuristic = We didn't detect a virus but we didn't like it so we called it a virus anyway.
120 = The specific random rule that we applied to make it sound mysterious.

Symantec's heuristics are among the worst that I have dealt with.

This is awesome; I just wish there was a web version available.

Maybe I'll sign up for a generic / free VM.

Thanks for the planner.

I just came back to the game and it is quite helpful.

I submitted the program to Symantec to whitelist as my security software kept removing it unless I told it not to prior to loading it every time.
I received confirmation today: "Upon further analysis and investigation we have verified your submission and as such this detection will be removed from our products. The updated detection will be distributed in the next set of virus definitions..."

Thanks again,

First of all, I want to thank you for this wonderful tool. I'm now using it to plan all my builds.

One item: Don't know if this has been reported previously, but I just started using it to plan epic destinies on my monk who's just reached epic levels, and noticed something odd. I went thru the Grandmaster of Flowers ED, filled it out, then switched to Legendary Dreadnought (her next destiny). I got a popup asking if I want to change to Legendary Dreadnought. I said yes, then went back and looked at Grandmaster. All the entries I had made are gone.

So, I filled them in again, then saved before switching to Legendary. Same thing ... switching wipes out all the entries in Grandmaster. I tried it with a couple of other destinies, and the same thing happens. This makes it pretty useless for planning ED's, and I'm assuming it's a bug, as the enhancements section doesn't seem to exhibit this behavior.

I tested with version 1.0.2 which I downloaded this morning.

That's working as I intended it to work, but I'm open to feedback.

My thinking with the design is that you can only have one destiny active at any one time. Why would you need to set up multiple destinies?

Using similar logic, you can only spend your 80 AP for enhancements one way. If you reset your 80 AP to spend them a different way, the first set is lost.

Possible bug.. I searched the thread to see if it'd come up yet but haven't seen it.

But



You're missing Bards.

The class dropdowns are auto-filtered depending on your choices. Bards will be filtered out if you've chosen a lawful alignment. I'm guessing you chose lawful neutral since I don't see paladin in the list either, while both druid and monk are.

On a side note, the alignment dropdown is designed to be skippable, and I recommend skipping it entirely unless you have a specific reason to choose one. One example might be to choose chaotic good to allow using true chaos and pure good weapons on a melee build with no umd. Another might be to choose true neutral specifically to allow wearing superior stability.

So skipping the alignment section doesn't set automatically to a default? Like LG or TN? Doesn't this allow impossible builds like paladin-bards? (That would be AWESOME!!!)

EDIT: ok, I saw that class choice closes the other options out...

The filtering is fairly complex in that choosing an alignment filters the classes, and choosing classes filters alignment. Which in turn filters classes. It's a surprisingly complicated feedback loop that actually took me much longer to get right than I anticipated. Quick example: If you leave alignment blank and choose monk as your primary class, the alignment choices get filtered to only lawful ones, which in turn filters the class dropdowns to no longer include bard. It's a whole thing.

It shouldn't currently allow any impossible combinations; let me know if you find one. Not choosing an alignment isn't an issue; it's just left blank in the output. That essentially means "choose whatever alignment you like."

One aspect of the logic is that if only one alignment is possible, it gets chosen for you. The only two examples are if you choose paladin, the alignment automatically becomes lawful good, and if you choose both druid and monk the alignment automatically becomes lawful neutral.
