Latest E-Tools Patch

[Greyhawk_DM]

Any idea when WOTC will approve and release the latest patch??

 

[Ranger REG]

No idea.

1. I am not an agent of WotC...or of CMP for that matter
2. Please keep in mind that this is con season, WotC is also dealing with the release of 3.5 and is working on getting 3.5, D&Dg and ELH into the SRD. It might take a while.

I honestly think that it will be any day now. It's hard to tell exactly what the hold up is. For all we knw, were waitng for the web guy to post it.

As far as I can tell, they just got thier 10th business day on it and they are on the west coast.

I know that CMP wants to start selling data sets very soon. So for all involved, I hope it's soon.

I'm getting giddy just thinking about what I can do once I have the patch and the data sets.

I, too, think it will be any day now.

Though I admit this is more wishful thinking than any hard data.

Not to complain (gods forbid! ) but one would think WOC would make this a top priority above all else. I mean, we buy ETools in good faith, and it is full of problems. The Fluid patch does not really cut it (to say the least).

Now, Codemonkey comes along and actually FIXES the sub-standard product, and does a great job as far as can be told.

Everything is DONE, and all it needs it WOC to check the work and give the go ahead. And yet we wait...and wait...and wait.

But I'm speaking more out of impatience than actual anger...I just want the patch!

Ok...breathe deep...and wait....and wait...

I've got the patch (part of an exclusive review arrangement) and I have to say that I have yet to find anything wrong with it. Every bug that I had an issue with is fixed. It's everything it was meant to be given the restricitions of code. My biggest grip is that it still won't do templates, but as Mynex told me, "That requires a complete re-write of the source code."

I believe everyone will be satisfied with the fixes made. There will be a review of the new patch in this month's d20Zine! once I finish writing it.

Ghostwind....

Maybe you could send that patch to me as well... I want to see if I can "break" it..... Oh, well..... I tried.... Now, if WOTC can get of their arses........ Besides, the first data sets are to arrive in 7 days.....

Sweet!

Say, could you be sure to test combos of natural armor, etc. to make sure improper stacking isn't occurring? The tests I used:

Equip an ogre an amulet of natural armor and make sure it doesn't stack with his own thick hide.

Equip a character a suit of chain mail and bracers of armor and make sure they don't stack.

Eh, sorry to rain on you, but they've been pushed back to early July. Lemme see if I can dig up the thread where Mynex announces it.

 

[Ghostwind]

I'll be sure to check those, Eric.
