yeah im having the same problem everytime i try to open the character sheet an error screen just pops up

If the sheet will not display in the browser control built into the program, you should be able to open the html file located where the program runs called "DresdenFiles-temp.html". It should display fine in your web browser.

Just make sure that "print background images" is enabled for it to print properly. Last time I checked you could not do this in Chrome, but that was back in the fall. That option may have been added since.

The problem I was having getting the DFRPG generator to show the sheets seems to have fixed itself when I was forced to update Internet Explorer to IE 8, the odd thing was I was running IE 8 previous...it works now perfectly. It's Microsoft I can't explain it I just try to survive it.  ;D

I'm digging it so far for creating NPCs (at the time I started using it, my group had already created their characters).

I'd suggest a few things.

1. If a character has any armor from powers/equipment/stunts, I'd put a location probably under stress to show that.
2. Same with weapons
3. Since the character sheet has a separate Powers page, I'd suggest listing the description of what the powers do. The powers list the trappings of each ability, but you'd need a book handy to look it up.

My suggestions stem from my inherent laziness and are by no means game changers. I love this program so far and have used it to stat out the NPCs for my first big session.

You may want to look into the cost for Righteousness - I think the program only charged me -1 and it is supposed to be -2.

Used the app, liked it.. but after a few hours of typing and BG work, I saved and tried to reload. Error messages. Then I opened the temp file through chrome, but it came out in html, but at least it was salvagable. When I tried to open in Exploder, it just kept trying to download the file over and over.

I love it tho, if I can get it to work properly. :D

Great work! Our Storyteller made an Excel sheet and it works okay, but I wanted to try this one out.


Thanks for all the work man! Hope you get it all debugged and lookin all supahcoolio. :D

Really like this, great job! I'd like to request that when you use the view Character Sheet option, it includes the character progression sheet, with the Rising Conflict, First Adventure and such.

I don't think that yakoaohw is still working on this. But I could be wrong, so why not send him a PM?

If this does get a new update I'd like to see a set of little text boxes next to the skill cap & refres level dropdowns to let users add in a +/-# to adjust thhem if the GM decides to give out an extra point  or so for whatever reason

Best way to handle making it for different platforms is converting to Java.

I am having an issue with this. It is a great help except that my magic page will not save. Everytime I save my char the magic page resets to blanks. Help

I really can't help you, peachy. And the guy who can doesn't seem to be around anymore.

I'll send him a message, see if he responds.

No, I'm afraid not. For all I know, he's dead.
