New Release of the Virtual Combat Cards Combat Tracker (Version 0.90)

The fifth release of Virtual Combat Cards D&D 4th Edition combat tracker is out. The version number was bumped to 0.90 to reflect the fact that the tool, as originally planed, is nearly done. The most important new feature is the tracking of effect and conditions. Now effects can be tracked individually and those that have time bound duration are expire automatically (such as: End your of Next Turn). This makes tracking effects much easier, avoiding the need of going back and forth and checking if the effects are still in effect.

You can (get VCC 0.90) here. Or visit main site.

This version has some significant changes:

• The general layout of the screen has been redone, trying to separate combatant specific data form actions that can be applied to any combatant (check the new look here).
• Internal handling of initiative actions has been redone, including better testing practices.
• Effect tracking has been added, including the following features:
  • Automatically replace marks with the new one;
  • Automatically replace effect with stance duration, when new stance power is activated;
  • Track sustainable effect;
  • Automatically expire effect with duration: End of your/target Next Turn and Start of your/target Turn;
• Several minor improvement in the internal handling of some actions.

If you use VCC, please spread the word. I'll start working on an update notification system, but until then your support is important.
