The new versions of TableSmith (v4) and Campaign Sage (v3) have been uploaded to www.mythosa.net.
TableSmith's new functionality is listed below:
Ordinal function - Feed it a number and get back an ordinal string (i.e.; passing in "3" returns "3rd")
While function - Similar to the "Loop" function, though instead of looping "n" times, "While" continues while a particular condition is true
Shell function - Like Shell functions in programming languages, you can launch a separate program or process with this
Extern function - Allows you to call add-ons for TableSmith (i.e.; third-party libraries written by others to extend the functionality of TableSmith)
Alternate data output - Besides HTML, you can now choose to have TableSmith display (and export) in XML as well as standard Text
The new version of Sage is something of an experiment. Rather than using categories and groups to organize monsters, spells, charts, etc., I thought that it might just be easier to type in the name of what you're looking for, and have a program return a result - sort of like a "GM's Search Engine". I also wanted to see if I could do it in Javascript rather than writing a regular program. Well, I succeeded in what I set out to do, though in using it I see a number of changes I'd like to make (and thus, the planning for version 4 begins...) Anyway, if you are using IE (Sage 3 runs in a browser rather than as a separate program), give it a try. I've left version 2 there as well, in case people don't care for the new version. Also, since Sage 3 is made up of HTML/Javascript, XML, and XSL, if you want to tweak it, feel free.
(Yes, I know this is pretty much the same text as what I posted on my home page; chalk it up to laziness
)
