    [OT] America's Army

    I fail to see what was rude about my remark. A coward is a coward. If you are a coward, you are what you are, me naming that isn't making it any worse or better. The point was that if someone has a weapon that kills and is trying to take power with that, someone else is going to have to risk...

    [OT] America's Army

    Yadda yadda, what are you talking about? The world is not counter-strike, and counter-strike is not the world, DUH! Your logical step of understanding that when someone that doesn't like you, has a gun and shoots you, you die is not some major revelation. However, if no one fights back and...

    Character Generation [technical/theoretical]

    You can also hit the sun and burn up... Read the CADD and your research goals Jamis and am still unsure if you are categorizing generation and random generation as the same generic concept. I guess you are looking to create a system (or theroize a system) that would allow from 0-100%...

    [eTools] ...and Netscape

    AFAIK nutscrape doesn't use or understand XSL, so regardless what fluid did, nutscrape simply is not able to perform the same task. OS or not, boo hoo. They both sux I still use Lynx and all of you ar'e tools... :p

    [ eTools ] stat block output

    My only question, why? It appears to largely be the same, and the things changed offer no reasons, so I assume its personal preference. I like to see reasons why such and such have been changed. And I personally see no reason to include all the modifiers after AC, Init and the rest. That defeats...

    [ eTools ] stat block output

    I started with a NPC human, changed the name added a domain and finished getting all the extras (humans have extra skills and feats). Also I'm using a modified stat block that displays all cleric spells. So its looooooooong... Flurrgle:Male Human Clr11; Medium Humanoid ; HD 11d8+11...

    E-Tools owners, please grade it

    Yes you are wrong for a few reasons, the first is that 2002 means nothing in terms of engineering better software, building software is not like mowing your lawn, and we haven't advanced much the last 10 years. What has changed however is that more companies are spending money and more money to...

    Short Changing Humans on Feats? (E-Tools)

    Talk about splitting hairs, doesn't it bother you more that the character always has the same feats and is always named *Torg*!?

    Loads of reviews on E-tools.. none on NWN?

    Its came and went, reviews for that you'll have to go back a few weeks. Or try biowares site, some boards there.

    E-Tools owners, please grade it

    Re: etools Sure you have. But on another note, at least two other people had comments along the same lines, why don't you get together with them and then make magic happen. I'll be waiting for a better D&D product, keep me posted with news on this.

    File type discrimination

    This is a bit offtopic and I'll just say that generally I agree with your views on what it "means" and what it should "mean". It being copyright. But, as I said pcgen is not fighting for some noble purpose. They specifically want people to use their product, for personal fame, more donations I...

    File type discrimination

    I feel a balance needs to be reached, and am using some spare time in which to balance out the world in this regard. I also agree and believe in the concepts of open source software, being a programmer it is an issue that is close to me. Now when I see someone taking a dump in my well I try to...

    File type discrimination

    I partially agree with your assesment of our current copyright concept, and the bad signs on which way it is heading. But, it is what it is. Law or no law, pcgen is not making a statement of civil diobediance, they are using wotc IP to create value in their product. Your cd analogy does not...

    File type discrimination

    Are you trying to spread FUD or are you just not seeing anything anyone is saying? I'm voting for the former, because you seem to take a stab at etools every chance you get. And you continually try to allay me of your honesty, which I am now questioning. But to contradict your logic, etools is...

    File type discrimination

    Where is that idea coming from? Its completely false. If wotc gave away a few DMGs at a convention does that mean they no longer hold ownership of their IP and you can go and OCR it, reprint it in some other format? You're telescoping on the lst files needlessly. It has nothing to do with the...

    File type discrimination

    No you are right, it wasn't an attempt, they succeeded as I mentioned in my other post. And it went on for 2 years unchecked, now we see hundreds of pcgen users whining cause they lost their free meal ticket. You saying "I state this as a FACT" doesn't magic it into a fact, lets *see* these...

    File type discrimination

    Pretty clueless, two things, one it doesn't matter who accepts the agreement, if you use the software, and there is no way to install it short of agreeing, *then* you are in agreement. Kinda like you can't "cross your fingers" while signing a contract to make it null and void, this isn't the...

    File type discrimination

    There is no issue. WoTC owns the IP, they can do with it as they please. The real facts are that pcgen have been commercially exploiting all sorts of IP for the past two years with no say so from the owners. The hoped to exist under the blind eye of a large corp and succeeded, until now. This...

    Why?

    That one was on purpose, wisdom within wisdom. The program worked perfectly, except it still wasn't right. Smet, what did this rogue generator do and why do you think its more complex than pcgen and etools? Both of those apps can make rogues in addition to a bunch of other classes. Also, and...

    Why?

    Its been done, here is a sample. 10 PRINT "HELLOE" 20 GOTO 10 There are "systems" that could be employed if you absolutely need bug free software, things like having peer review or programmer teams both working on the same code and cross review. I imagine these sorts of things are used for the...
