How do you disable the DING! in PCGen?

[AegisEversoaring]

It takes the .lst files that are still using the old tags or format and converts them to the new tagged format.

This function works but I had customized .lst files for certain prestige classes for my campaign. After using the converter I still had to go back and manually change most of the entries because of the way the new classes are built.

Before version 2.71 (I think), the classes were defined in one file. The class skills were defined in a separate file, etc. Now the class file includes the classes and their skills in the same file. This is not converted by the .lst converter.

Make a backup of your file somewhere else before you start mucking around in the .lst files. Its not that working with them is hard but it is time consuming to figure out their format. Using the converter will save you some time but you will still have to look at the new file format to verify that all the changes are correct.

Good Luck.

That's in the works.

After the coding is completed to make sure we're OGL/D20 compliant, we have a few bugs to clear up, then we'll be working on adding a way to edit list files... That may be in the tools section, or we may make it a seperate java app, we're still debating on how we want to do it.

As for the convertor, yes, it was a simple/test for a convertor, that Bryan created, and was put in for testing purposes, it was left in the production release due to time constraints, but have no worries, it is going to be updated soon.

And we're tentaviely scheduling a release this Friday, get the beta build out to be tested completely by all the supporters of PCGen, since the best possible way to test is by actual usage!

Thanks to all for hanging in there while we sort all this out and get everything good to go so we can get back to entering Publishers materials in!
