[KenM]

i just downloaded and played witht he latest stable build for PCgen. Is there a data set for it that have stuff from the complete books and FR stuff? Or is it stricly OGL?

You have to make it on your own. It would be illegal to distribute.

How hard would it be if you don't have any programing knowlege?

PCGen produces datasets with permission from various publishers. To get to the WotC stuff, you have 2 options: 1) code it yourself or 2) buy the sets from Code Monkey Publishing.

If you go route #1, you can always go to the PCGen List File Help Y! group to ask questions, or read the documentation that comes with the program.

That depends on how funky the ruleset you're trying to do is. Items that are fairly straight-forward, fairly easy, especially with the wealth of examples that exist in the current datasets. If its some funky rule twists, that can get dificult if not impossible.

How much are the data sets from CMP?

 

[kingpaul]

They range in price. Here is the direct link to their data set store.

Does the data packs come with an auto intstallier or is it manual?

The current version of PCGen has a Source Material tab called PCGen Open Gaming Content. Reading the information bar on it and it's all Copyright-WOTC.

CMP's sets are all *.zip files. You just need to extract everything into your PCGen directory, as they have the directory tree already built into the *.zip file.
