GMGen has a notes system as well GMGen has a tree based notes system that is very capable. GMGen is a part of PCGen that gives the user a quickly broadening set of tools for gming. Also note, PCGen/GMGen are Open Source, and completly free. Everything you write is stored as HTML, you have...

It's not our choice. It's not CMP's choice. WotC made that call, and we have no legal choice but to follow it. It's possible we would actually win in court, as creating data sets from their books is very likely not a copyright violation - but none of us have the money to fight tht battle - a...

Interesting, so by not thinking the situation is untennable, I and the rest of the BoD might as well be CMP. once again you insult our integrity by implying that we are intentionally not working for the betterment of PCGen. No, if you actually read our posts you would see that we are saying...

That is completly wrong. Sun ships a closed source version of open office called "Star Office". no one else can do this. Also, a very large percent of the Open Office developers are sun employees. Sun has exclusivity where CMP does not. CMP couldn't distribute a closed source PCGen if they...

Actually, this is true - but from a functional point of view, it's very hard to maintain compatibility across 2 forks - it also means you see different bugs in each place. It might not make it impossible to keep it compatible, just incredibly difficult - creating more work to maintain...

No, you have attacked mynex, but you have also insulted every member of the board. from the pcgen Y! forum: "PCGen BoD and CMP are one in the same in the eyes of many of us" Your impelcation here is clear, and you attack every member of the board in this statement. This statement says in...

Do you realize how much damage that would do to pcgen? A) this means that CMP datasets will eventually not work in pcgen as the code forks over time. Not so much of an issue for CMP since they have their own pcgen fork that they can jsut give away, but a huge issue for pcgen people, because...

Sorry for my long absense, but I have had some bing RL issues... I would like a seat at this table as well - I have created a format (posted on this forum) that I would like to see parts of it considered. I don't so much care about the format as I care about all of the data that is in the...

You ignore that there are a significant number of non CMP BoD members. As I mentioned in another post, 3 BoD members have a real stake in CMP, 1 does their web hosting (and is unaffiliated enough that he was the one that LMC wanted to add to their board as well), 1 is a paid contractor to do...

And that's the problem. You throw stones, yet refuse to engange in any meaningful dialog. I have approached you, as have others, many times. Every time a person brings up a discussion point all you do is drop back, refuse to address any of the discussion points, and martyr yourself like you...

turns out the first zip file was corrupted. a new one has been uplaoded - gmgen-3.3rc1a.zip Devon

GMGen 3.3rc1 has been released. Project home: http://gmgen.sourceforge.net/ Download: http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/gmgen Yahoo Group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pcgen-gmgen/ GMGen is a Java-based GM's tool that works on multiple platforms (Windows, Linux, etc). GMGen is a tool for...

Just wanted to let you know that I havn't ignored your post with the diagram - just still digesting it. I think as a whole, it's a good idea - but it's also very ambitious. I wonder is there is a way we can tackle the D&D character sheet transfers without hitting all of this - yet still...

Actually, I have yet to get access to it. I started one mostly to jump start dialog. It worked ;). I'll be happy to look at it. And as I said before, I'm not against using it. However, I do want to make sure it's good as an exchange format, not as file format that is excellent for one...

quick answer is that if it's designed for a particular program is has certain asumptions. Generally that's a gaurentee. I'm hoping to have a format that will not have those assumptions. Developing a new XML format is not all THAT hard. That being said, XSLT can pretty much create anything...

ok, here is my draft DTD: Devon. You can get it at: legolas.org: DTD v 0.1 <!ELEMENT CHARACTER (CHARACTERSET*)> <!ELEMENT CHARACTERSET (DEMOGRAPHICS, CHARACTERLEVEL, STATS, COMBAT, EQUIPMENT, SPELLS, EFFECT*, NOTES*)> <!ELEMENT DEMOGRAPHICS (PHYSICAL, MENTAL)> <!ELEMENT PHYSICAL...

This is exactly the type of beneficial thing I can see coming from having a single export XML standard. I do want to make sure it has all the data really anyone could need. Some more Fields I thought about: SPELLS PER DAY NOTES EFFECT (this can be to label what spells/effects the person is...

If nothing else, because the systems all do work VERY differently. For those interested, I ahve posted a first draft of a list of items that I think an interoperable character export should be capable of storing. (note, I think some thigns should be required, and others optional) Suite...

ok, this is a first draft of everything I can think of that one might want in a character export. Comments? Devon Jones GMGen Regent PCGen BoD (Note: this ignores Psionics and followers for now) CHARACTER NAME PLAYER NAME ALIGNMENT DEITY RACE SIZE HEIGHT WEIGHT VISION AGE GENDER EYES HAIR...

There are two conversations taking place on this thread. Interoperability, and wholesale useage of source data. I have always understood CS's desires to be one of interoperability. My concerns that I have aired here do not relate to interoperability. Not a problem. Bring it on. There are...
