Character Builder Lite

[Bolo_Grubb]

thanks for the update

It's trickier than it should be because the program is written in a language that was released in 1998, predating mouse wheels. I believe to add mouse wheel support I'd have to add a dependency, which may require an installation program. I greatly prefer the current situation, where any Windows version from XP on will run the program natively, no installation required.

It's not certain that adding mouse wheel support would require an installation, so I haven't ruled it out. But I'm not currently working on the program, and don't plan to do much in the foreseeable future aside from keeping it up to date with game changes.

Understood. Thanks for the explanation. Thanks for keeping it up to date.

(Possible) Bug Report: maybe I just have an old version of the builder - but seems stat tomes will only go up to +5 or +6 when +7 is the games current max.

Is the build's Max Level set to something lower than 30?

Must be a very old version you have, I've had no problem putting in +7 for at least several months now.

*sigh* those corporate update policies must be rubbing off on me.... am now so slow to update anything. :P

Is there a new version of character build lite? As doesn't look like its been updated since February and I think U31 fighter pass was after that.

The very first post indicates it was last updated August 2nd....

Hi Ellis,

Firstly, thanks for the planner, its truly great!

Secondly, minor bug report: Kensai T4 Liquid Courage is costing 2 AP in the planner, but only 1 AP in game.

Again, many MANY thanks!

Ah, thanks much. Wiki says 2 AP. You'd think I'd have learned my lesson about just taking wiki's word for it, but I figured since I was only adding two enhancements... Ah well.

I think there are some monk changes coming with U32, so I'll wait until then to post updated files. In the meantime, it's easy enough to edit data\Enhancements.txt to correct the cost. (Search for Liquid Courage and delete the "Cost: 2" line.)

ddowiki updated as well. next crawl should autofix it.

[EllisDee37]

I only crawl descriptions. All the values (cost, ranks, tier, prereqs, etc...) are maintained manually by hand.

That works, thanks.

Still an AWESOME tool.

Thanks again

I appreciate the kind words.

Thanks EllisDee37,

That's the only planner I ever use.
Keep doing your great works.

Sooo, not to sound pushy, but: any ETA on when you'll update for U33?

I'm actually dreading those changes because the deity feats are a nightmare in the data file, so that's going to suck.

At the moment I'm focused on my crafting planner so probably not for a week or two. But as far as I can tell, it's only data changes. Meaning it's technically possible for end users to make the changes themselves in their data files directly. heh.

Did you just hand-code those in? That must've been...fun.

OH NOES my laziness vs my impatience - which will win?!

[EllisDee37]

I hand coded ALL data in ALL data files. The only thing not entered manually by my 10 fingers are the descriptions, which are scraped from wiki. Everything else was me typing.

Not even all descriptions are scraped. The feat descriptions were manually entered by hand. (They're also, generally speaking, my own wording.)

EDIT: Actually, since it's just data file changes, it probably won't take too long and I'll feel better about not having to rush what I'm doing on the crafting planner to get the character planner updated. I'll try to post updated data files this weekend.
