Updates?!? :eek: Already? It's only been a couple days! I've got a full time job, and I'm currently taking 10 hours of college courses in the evenings in an attempt to finish my degree before I die (yeah right). When you add in time for homework, papers, studying, commuting to work &...

Any gamers out there that were hoping that one day my Town Generator would be finished have probably long since gotten disappointed and forgotten my project by now since, I've neglected to keep anyone informed on what I was doing. So here is a brief update for any of you who are still...

Personally, I wouldn't recommend trying to do anything with Object Oriented programming concepts at all just yet. Having just declared your first global variable yesterday, I think it would be prudent to get comfortable with programming first. Then worry about implementing OO classes later...

Perhaps I'm just dense, but I think you forgot to include the file "3rdEdition.rul" in your zip. Cheers! Walter

Hi! Yes, I'm still out here. My real name is Walter if you're interested. I wasn't aware someone else went by towngen at sometime. Sorry about the confusion. I don't check back here all that often, except after I post a beta version. I am in the process of converting all of my existing...

Just shamelessly bumbing my own thread so this one is ahead of version 0.2 in the list. :)

Deal!!! Beta versions have been posted in the software forum for months. :D I probably ought to go bump the thread for beta version 0.22 since some copyright discussions ended up putting the thread of beta 0.2 ahead of it.... Bear in mind ... it's a GUI beta only. It doesn't actually...

I would happily add someone's name to the credits of the program if they came up with an idea that I found useful. I'd probably also give them a free copy of the program if it was really useful. As for randomly generating the various stats and properties of a town, I already have quite a few...

I like threads like this one! :D Someday ... when I finish my program ... most of this stuff will be handled for you. I just wish that guy would hurry up and finish it! :mad: :eek: Dang it! Thats me ... I better go before he catches me goofing off on the message boards while I'm supposed...

First I'll try to explain what I said, then I'll try to relate it to town making. Suppose that the probability of something depends on 2 other things. Lets represent those 2 things as A and B. The probability we are calculating will be called X. Now imagine a graph where 2 axis are labeled A...

That was exactly my point. It's not just as simple as exchanging a name here and there. So I should just rename churchs to "Hospitals & Social Work Centers" and wizards to "Electronic Gadget Users"? It just wouldn't work. All the logic I'm using to determine the number of things would...

:D You know the old saying. Make it idiot proof and they'll build a better idiot. Actually, thanks for the compliment. Just remember, what is completely obvious to some, may be a deep mystery to others. I have a lot of friends that work on computer help desks. Never (and I mean NEVER!)...

I got an email from someone that said they had this error and replied to them. But for everyones benefit I'll repeat what I put in that email. Which file did it say was not found? Do you have the VB runtime dll installed. It is available from microsoft's website and from download.com. Did...

FYI I am creating a computer program that will create towns for Dungeons & Dragons games. If any of the publishers of other game worlds/settings are possibly interested in having their Pantheons included with my program when it is released, please go to the software forum and download a copy...

Thanks for the compliments. The gods in the FRCS section is just a cut&paste of the standard pantheon because I'm too lazy to type all that stuff in right now. I'll get around to it one of these days. Hopefully, I put enough info in the DietyInfo file to let you know how to tweak it. Right...

After much delay from other things at home and at work, I have another beta cut to release. The first beta version stired up a lot of helpful comments, the second one only a few. I don't know if this is because interest is waning, or the program is getting better (hopefully the later). As...

I'm not an expert on copyright law, but everything I've read indicates that names and short phrases are NOT copyrightable. They can claim copyright, but it doesn't change the fact that they can't copyright a name. They can only trademark a name as a product identity in a specific market. Now...

Me too! Dang it! I wish that guy would hurry up! He's taking too long! Oh yeah, that's me. I guess I better get back to work then.... :) You want names for the merc groups? As in just a text string? I plan to include a simple name generator in the guts of the program to name everything...

I understand and agree with your statement mitaadle ... however ... It's simply the truth, it's obvious, and it doesn't hurt WotC at all. All the time and effort I am putting into this program is simply going to make D&D, their property, more valuable. Suppose that some other d20 publisher...

Support for custom dieties has already been added. Now whether you have to type in the diety names yourself or not is up to the lawyers at WotC. If they forbid me to using any deity names that appear in the PHB and FRCS, then I'll just release a template file with the program that you will...
