I would think some development to jump-start the boring parts of extraction would be useful. I was planning to assist if I could, but it's up to Mark & team if they really desire that help. TP. -- Tom Parker PCGen Architecture Lead

Both of these are good points. The first limits automation (if true). The second point is a concern. While I don't want to blow the issue out of proportion, the project should be considering disaster recovery scenarios, and the wikidot export to ZIP file is one method; I don't see the...

For those following this issue, there is a typo in the Game Mode for Modern. Should anyone desire to fix this problem, look for a file (relative to the PCGen install): system\gameModes\Modern\miscinfo.lst In that (text) file, there is a line that defines ACTYPE:Misc. It looks like this...

Can you tell me a bit more about the situation? What export/print sheet are you using? (so I can isolate that it's the code and not the output sheet?) Have you tried another sheet to validate that there isn't an error in only one output sheet? If the problem exists in multiple output...

Databases are fast, primarily because they index their contents. (Note that such an index requires additional memory). Thus, while there could be improvements in speed, I'm not sure how much it would help on a 256MB memory system. Perhaps someday we will find out, but there are other...

Come on Vascant. #3 eliminates EVERY tool known to mankind from that list, even ones under development. As far as the rest of the list, developers aren't waiting for users. There is nothing ready. Call me when someone actually delivers something, so we can evaluate more than development claims.

I would postulate that the general purpose nature of spreadsheets (a VERY large market relative to RPG tools) is more important than the 15 years. Billions of dollars in profit to support hundreds (thousands?) of developers doesn't hurt either. Indeed. The problem is that this interacts...

I think you were being nice. At least to Firzair. You do seem to have something against cats, however. ;) I suspect many of us have been down that path at one time or another - just not necessarily with a d20 system (my first experience with building a disaster was a crop measurement and...

I would. ... but you won't find me defending much about the features at SourceForge. The value of hosting there has nothing to do with SF features, but its other value... as a hub of open source software. Never underestimate the value of their momentum. It's a great place to use to grow your...

Provided we don't find any new bugs, the current code will be the "gold" version. Since we have been testing without adding function since we went to beta, it is very stable at this point. James (our Code Silverback) also tested importing characters built in 5.10, so there should not be issues...

So let me understand a bit more here. Can you define whether you are building the dungeon interactively (if the PCs are going along and you need a room, you draw a room?) Or are you designing the dungeon up-front and then playing with the PCs off a pre-defined Map and you want to control...

You, are, umm, "dead on" with your workaround (pardon the pun). Thanks for observing that, it definitely helped in finding the problem. I just fixed this and the other Initiative errors in PCGen related to status and dead PCs/Monsters, so 5.11.15 will have those included (or you can grab our...

The changelog only represents changes from 5.11.13 to 5.11.14. You would have to visit the Documentation Page and view all of the PCGen v5.11.x items to get all of the cumulative changes for PCGen 5.11 (soon to be 5.12). I am not aware that they are summarized; that seems like a good idea to...

QUALIFY only works on EqMods. That should probably be universalized. We should FREQ that.

Generally, most of the tokens will not change. Thus if you have written to what was documented in 5.10, the conversion can be automated in the majority of cases. It can't be completely automated for a few reasons: There are actually ambiguous tokens in 5.10 - they work, up to a point, but...
