Hi. I've found whenever I try to add equipment to my character that I can't get it to export to HTML. I'm running IE 9 with .NET 4+ using CM 2.0.3. The error occurs if any equipment is Armor or Weapon with a Skill or Type added. If the equipment is Other, it works fine.

The error is below in RED. Thanks for all your work 

... The 'p' start tag on line 377 position 7 does not match the end tag of 'td'. Line 378, position 3....[/color]

Looks like the html is missing a tag somewhere. I will take a hammer to it and see what I can do.

Just posted version 2.0.2. Link can be found at the top of the thread.

kacowkachow: Custom effects should now be working. The description was checking the description field for Mortal Stunts which of course was empty since you were making a custom effect. This has been corrected.

kenposan: I think I've taken care of the special character issue. There are a lot of instances of string translation to remove ", ', &, <, and > so I may have missed one, but I think I got them all. Let me know if you stumble into this issue anywhere else.

ZacharyHill227: glad you noticed the other Soulgaze power. I thought that having a free one would make it easier than trying to make it a variable cost power. Also, when you choose a template, it should assign the musts automatically when the template is selected. Are the powers not being added automatically?

Avriel: the custom power level issue should be resolved. It was the same issue as kacowkachow's just with different fields.

Sanctaphrax: the values in question should now appear correctly on the character sheet. Also, the program should now highlight the refresh discrepancy when adjustment >= base refresh instead of simply >.

I think that is everything. If I missed something, please remind me. Thanks for the feedback.

Also having a problem here with the customization.  If I try to add a new power level, I put in all the info and when i try to save it, it tells me that "each power level must have a name" and i can't save it.

I'll take a look at the editor. It is probably testing the wrong field and getting a false reading of no name.

Also, my apologies for the delays in the other fixes. It was opening week for Cabaret so I've been in rehearsal/shows all week.

Malivotti: I'm glad you like my stuff, I hope it proves to be helpful.

tetrasodium: The syntax that was being written was incorrect for the mortal stunt. That has been corrected in version 2.0.1 as well as adding a catch to prevent the whole program from crashing if the description cannot be viewed. If you'd like to corrected the custom stunt without making an entire new one, simply remove "<description>" and "</description>". They are required syntax for supernatural power descriptions, but not for mortal stunt descriptions. (The source file is really huge and each group of data differs from the others since it took me a while to compile it.)

devonapple: The syntax for the character templates was also being written incorrectly. This has been corrected in version 2.0.1. All the attributes that were supposed to be written to the XML were being added as elements instead. There isn't really a quick fix to change it up unless you know XML. name, minrefresh, refreshbonus, supernatural and skill should all be attributes of their parent. Also, the value of minrefresh should be negative.

spacepup18: I have now added the powers you mentioned. Also, there was a bug in the resource compile of custom and standard data at runtime causing all magical traditions to be missed. That has been corrected.

Sanctaphrax: The character you sent is showing a refresh adjustment of 6, 4 for Sponsored Magic, 1 for Marked by Power and 1 for a mortal stunt. The error with the stunt now appearing has now been corrected. (The program was testing for a number of stunts > 1 instead of >= 1)

New version is up. Thanks for the feedback.

I'm not able to get any of my Custom templates to show up in the main program. How does that normally work?

The custom template should be saved as a dfcm file in the 'resources' directory that is created by the program the first time you load it. When the program loads, a notice should appear on the splash screen that says "custom entries detected" or something similar. If the file is invalid, it should tell you so and then not load the erroneous file and run the program normally.

As to the custom power, I'll need to take a look at that more closely. I'll get back to you on that.

The Dresden Files Roleplaying Game Character Manager v2.0.3 is now available for download at the following link:

Version 2.0.3

(The file is hosted on Mediafire. I have found other mirrors of my program floating around the internet, which is fine, but I have no idea who put them there or if they have been modified in any way. Please be careful running any executable files you find on the internet.)

My thanks to the following people who helped me with testing: (in no particular order) Soulless Mystic5523, lordoracle, devonapple,
Malraza, Zindaar, Jerry Luca, Steven Phelps, Geoff Williams, AJ Long, Christopher Smith (if I missed someone, I apologize.)

Without them the program would probably be paralyzed with bugs. Any errors remaining in the program (and I know there are some and I'm sure there are others I'm ignorant of) are the result of the programmer, not lack of input from the testers.

System Requirements:
-Windows XP or later (Vista or later is required for IE 9)
-Microsoft .NET framework 4.0 or later (available from Microsoft)
-Internet Explorer 9 or later (even if you don't use it regularly. The Character Sheet uses HTML5/CSS3 and the embedded browser is always the current IE install regardless of other browsers available. If you really object to having IE installed, you can "Export Character Sheet" instead and open it in your browser of choice. The sheet will still open without IE 9, but it will look terrible.)
-Sorry Mac people. I have nothing against you, i just don't have the kind of time it would take to learn a cross-platform programming language or to write in two different ones.

Installation:
There is no install file. Simply place the files in a directory (you must extract them, not run them from inside the zip file) where a user will have write access and run them (also included is a customization program, more on that later.)

Customization:
Included in this release is a customization program. It will create custom templates, powers, stunts, effects, magical traditions, etc. By default each item is placed in a separate dfcm file in the "resources" directory. The program will read all dfcm files in the directory at runtime and those items will be added to the program. If you add another custom file to the directory, you will need to restart DFRPG-CM for it to appear. These files are XML files (as are the character save files). If you know your way around XML, you may combine multiple custom files into a single DFCM file and all entries in it will be added at runtime, but you will not be able to edit the file with DFRPG-Custom.exe.

Old Characters:
Old character files will work, though there may be some hiccups in loading them. Please back up your old characters before converting them, just in case. I would hate for you to lose a lot of time and effort you put into a character because of a single typo in in over 15000 lines of code.

Bugs:
If/When you encounter bugs, you may post them here or message me, though if you post them here, you may help other people who are having the same problem you are or may get feedback from another user. When you post a bug, please let me know what you were doing and what happened (this is often more important that then huge list of text that accompanies some crashes.) For example: "I was selecting a template and the program crashed" or "I named my character Paul Neil Milne Johnstone (bonus points to anyone who gets the reference without using the internet) and he reached through my monitor and slapped me.")

That is it for now. Good luck. I hope this is helpful to other Dresdenites.

EDIT (4/11/2012): Updated link to latest version. Release notes available in the program.
EDIT (4/28/2012): Updated link to latest version (2.0.2). Release notes available in the program.
EDIT (4/29/2012): Updated link to latest version (2.0.3). Release notes available in the program.

Thanks for volunteering. I'll post known bugs here to prevent duplication and cross them off once they are corrected.

• character import showing error when ' or " are used to indicate height
• character sheet output creating invalid xml

Edit: I'm going to move these to the top post and maintain them there
