On my Win2k machine, shortcuts in my Programs menus that I don't typically use are not visible unless I expand out the menu listing. However, I don't have that on my XP Home machine. Is there a setting that I'm not finding to get this functionality on my XP machine (I've never set one on the 2k...

I'm not on the coding team, but its the exceptions to the rules that do cause headaches. I know that Vascant (of NPC Designers and Evolution fame) once commented (and I'm paraphrasing) that d20 was an exception based system. He's right. You have the core rules in the SRD/core 3, and then...

Do I hear a new volunteer? :D

Ummm...no. WotC sat down with PCGen at GenCon '02 and informed PCGen that its inclusion of WotC datasets was not fair use, as we understood it, but was copyright infringement. eTools was already out in the marketplace.

No, you're not. We've been telling you for several years now to look at existing files for examples and to read the documentation. We've also tried to help you out in answering questions on how to go about doing things. *.lst files are raw text, not java like the program.

*shrug* I have hopes that it'll stay around when 4.0 rears its head.

PCGen and its sponsor Silven Publishing are pleased to announce the release of PCGen 5.11.6 (release notes).

You'd have more luck going to our List File Help group and asking there. Also, as you noted, its not OGC. Therefore, we ask that when you ask for specifics on how to do something, you do it generically. In other words, don't identify the book/class/feat/etc, just ask about the mechanics...

Ah, I understand you now. Yes, currently, there's no way, at least none that I know of, to have PCGen pick and choose only the items that you want out of various datasets. I know some users have created custom *.pcc files so they only call the files they need.

And who said help had to come from just programmers? Design specs were being discussed as well, and how the GUI was not appealing. I don't code for PCGen, yet I help out with the project.

PCGen met both for a while. We dropped the d20STL so we could add back in the dice rollers.

Are you volunteering? :D Why?

So, if I had stated the docs were set up in a tree/sub-tree format, that would have been better? Heh, I started on a standard, so I know about clutches and popping a clutch to get a car started. So, you want PCGen written in Egyptian hieroglyphics then? :D But seriously, as I stated...

Our code team has been trying to eliminate the unnecessary copying of objects for a while now. Are you saying the users are loading to many datasets, or that PCGen is grabbing more datasets then is intended? Its a known issue that loading more datasets slows the program down, and the coders are...

I have full Acrobat, but I thought Reader also came with the "Select" button to allow you to highlight text. Granted, if the PDF in question is locked, you won't be able to copy/paste.

Really? Windows Explorer is set up in a treeing schematic for folder hierarchies. I would have assumed, apparently wrongly, that users familiar with Windows (which is still the predmominant OS) would be familiar with that set-up.

Where does it fail as a character generator?

Where do the docs fail then? Outside perspectives are great, but we need to be told where, specifically, the weak points are. Specifically where?

Believe it or not, we've tried to get coding sub-teams together to overhaul the interface. GUI and speed are consistent issues raised. I know the current code team has been streamlining the code to improve speed over the past several months. However, there have been 2, that I know of, attempts...

This page? If so, stables and alpha/beta releases are defined on that page. Not sure what you mean here. Did you read the documentation that comes with the download? There's info on character creation in there. That's why we've spent a lot of time recently beefing up the documentation. Where...
