I'm afraid that some of your facts are incorrect, hopefully I can explain things clearly, Oh I'm the Chair Person of PCGen BTW and not affiliated with CMP in any way shape or form :). PCGen is an open source project that is still _very_ healthy and _very_ active (a team of 60 contributors and...

We've looked at a conversion to XML, but there were a myriad of reasons why we couldn't go there. The main reason being that our current LST format isn't just data, it's actually a programming language in its own right and that's not easy to convert to a language which should be treated as...

Can't let this go away! Bumpity bump for you great SH!

The UI will continue to receive some polish over the next few alpha and beta releases, but the majority of the work is going into splitting the UI from the core processing, that way we can overhaul the UI completely and even offer alternative UI's (AJAX, SWT, Swing, whatever). I have a list of...

Thpr has already replied on 1), and boy are we glad to have him on board! :). On the 2nd point, I/we have definitely been thinking very seriously about doing just that, as you may or may not know, my mandate is to turn PCGen into 'Semi Professional Open Source' and the final step of that will...

You'll be pleased to know that one of our senior code monkeys has been tackling the speed issues with a nice wee code profiler. Start up and source loading times have decreased dramatically in the latest alpha builds (this is for the 5.12 release coming up). We'll keep improving the general...

It's in the works, please post to the pcgen group for details :), one of the data monkeys will update you.

We're listening :-) Hi all, This thread has kicked up a massive new discussion on our developers list. All of our developers agree that the UI is too complicated :). What we're looking to do now is to complete several of the UI feature requests we've had out there for years (recommendations...

O for Awesome As we'd say back home 'O' for Awesome, this story rocks! Thanks for getting me intro trouble with my girlfriend for reading instead of doing the xmas shopping, getting no work done (sorry boss) and generally pissing myself with laughter :). Made more than a few friends blink...

No, get back to work! ;)

Was totally not referring to Evolution or yourself on this one :). You have been totally honest and open right from the start and polite to boot and so that's not a problem with us at all. In fact we're busy discussing the Evolution case and Paul K or myself should get back to you very...

Well, I've only been with PCGen the last 4 years so I can't comment on the first 2 years of the project, if that is indeed what happened then Shame on us :(! All I know is that for the entire time I've been on the project (since early 2002), we've bent over backwards to work nicely with the...

The area of reading our datasets is a grey area, although from our research into the legalities of it, we _think_ it's perfectly legal to do so :). The legalities around the distribution of the datasets or converted versions of those datasets is better understood. As we stated above, OGL -...

This has been cross posted to the Publishers Forum ----------------------------------------- To all involved in the d20 software industry, There has been a lot of recent discussion about 3rd party usage of PCGen datasets (whether it be direct use or through a converter). We promised we'd...

This has been cross posted from the Software Forum, I though that it would be relevant here also. ----------------------------------------- To all involved in the d20 software industry, There has been a lot of recent discussion about 3rd party usage of PCGen datasets (whether it be direct use...

Creating complicated creatures It's a very powerful character generator that handles a lot of the complicated rules dealing with templates etc, thought it might be useful to you for making those wonderfully complicated creatures of yours! http://pcgen.sourceforge.net

Yay! Just discovered this today, exceptional writing! Give me a shout if you want any PCGen assistance in creating your amazing characters :)

PCGen Well no surprise but I recommend PCGen (http://pcgen.sourceforge.net/01_overview.php)

Yep, can't even be looked at until version 6.0 is done, ya see the problem is that LST isn't just a 'data' language, it's a programming language in its own right :).

Just to clarify, PCGen is _not_ CMP. PCGen (the Open Source project) has built a ton of datasets, some of which are OGL, some of which are closed content. * All of these datasets are provided with PCGen for free (just as PCGen itself is free). * We have permissions from each of the publishers...
