Hmmm, I've written one like that...but it's currently embedded into my "project from hell" (wxDMHelper at www.spootsworld.com) and not a standalone application. :\ I'll have to get off my rear end and split that out into it's own application since there might be some interest in it. :eek:

Overall, it's a pretty good game IMHO. It takes away quite a bit of the annoying micro-management that other RTS's have. Peons will go find work on their own after you build them, things like that. Very handy.

kolvar........you should have email. :)

Yep, run your utility programs in safe-mode so they can remove the programs. Also, you can try Spy-Bot 1.3 which is a nice one too which can "immunize" you from thousands of products too.

I'm currently working on one.......unfortunately there is a long ways to go yet. :]

Hehe, I once had to write a nearly 200 line quad union select to select transactions that had errored out on a server. I wanted to KILL the person who setup the schema, it should have been a 3-4 line query. However, depending on the type of error code it would have to join the SAME FOUR tables...

Wait a second.....most/all D20 software won't allow addition of custom classes? What about spells, weapons, armour, profs, etc........if you can't add new ones.....doens't that kinda defeat the purpose of having the software?

Hmmm....a challenge. :) Too bad I have to finish up the other gaming systems I'm working on first.........otherwise I'll never get my stupid program done. :D

Amen to that......which is why I started this project. Well, that and players who keep "losing" experience or treasure sheets. Or the ever famous, hand me xxx book to look up xxxx spell since I don't have it written on my sheet. Was driving me bonkers! So, I starting writing a program to...

Agreed 100,000%......exceptions are killers. Along with the massive ruleset. I'm currently working on a DMHelper program that's based on 2nd Ed AD&D and the exceptions are KILLING me. Not to mention the massive amount of data to be loaded. Currently the program clocks at 60,000 lines of C++...
