Hi,

I'm having trouble accessing the character sheet.  I keep getting an error which states:

"Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Documents and Settings\Guest\My Documents\RPG\Dresden Files\Character Sheet\CharacterSheet\eb858c58-93a8-404b-841a-b46a6b1fafe6.dfrpg'."

What am I doing wrong?  That's not the name of the file I've saved.

Hrmmm... I'll have to do some testing. The file name you are seeing is the temporary file that is saved before being converted to HTML to be used a viewable character sheet. The file is created, converted and then deleted so you usually never see it or its name unless there is a crash somewhere along the line. (The file was originally created so I had something to examine to see where a breakdown could possibly occur.)

My first guess is that the file is not being written properly to the directory where it is installed. Maybe because it is looking in the "Guest" documents and settings you don't have full write access to that directory, or maybe you as a user do but the program does not? I'll try some things and see what I can figure out.

Noticed a typo. In the description of the Item Of Power power, the ability Unbreakable is listed as Un Breakable. In the description of the Sword Of The Cross power, the same ability is listed as Ubreakable. Obviously this is no big deal, but I thought you should know.

Version 1.0.1.0 is up.

I made a bunch of changes including correcting some typos and adding a help file, but the biggest update is the custom stunts, powers, templates, elements, and specializations.

PLEASE BACK UP YOUR CHARACTERS BEFORE USING THE NEW VERSION. There will probably be no issues with files, but I'd hate to have someone lose their stuff because I overlooked something.

Details on everything that was added/changed can be found at dfrpgtools.blogspot.com.

When you first run the new version, it will create a new file called 'custom.xml'. This will contain all your custom items. If you delete it, another will be created when you run the program again. Please make sure you have write access where ever the program gets placed. If that file becomes invalid, the program will crash when it tires to access it. If you make duplicate entries under any custom item, you will not be able to remove them from the list and will have to edit the file in notepad to do so.

If I did not address a bug or error that you brought up and it still shows up in the program (and of course if a new one appears) please post/repost it here so I can make a more complete list than I was working from previously (my laziness in recording them not any lack of reporting them being the problem).

As always, thanks for the input. I hope this proves useful.

Hi Yakoaohw,

I discovered something interesting this morning when I installed the new version.  I can view the character sheet before I save a character but not after.

Greeting Yakoaohw,

Love the update (again, thank you).

One problem I've hit is really just cosmetic. When I clicked on the "Custom template" button, all of the existing templates doubled up in the window.

Clicking on the window again (to see if it would triple the entries), I received the following error:

See the end of this message for details on invoking

Great improvements on the program! I had the same thing happen to me as Lordoracle. I'm running windows7 and running it as administrator seems to help the crashing but it still adds the book templates every time i click the custom button.

Not had chance to check out the custom stunts and powers yet, but wanted to post my gratitude for this great program - it has already come in very helpful in making a set of pre-gens for my first outing with DFRPG/FATE!

I'm getting an error when I attempt to make custom powers. It make the power ok but then wants to shut down the program (unless you click continue).  The mortal stunts also don't pop up if custom powers are in the add list.

Fixed a few bugs before I saw Sinister's post. New version (1.0.1.1) is up.

MacShidhe: I was unable to recreate the issue with the character file you sent me. If the problem continues, the best fix I can think of for the moment is to save, reopen and then view the character sheet. A pain in the butt I know, but I can't seem to track down the issue at the moment.

Templates should now clear and reload when custom templates are made now.

I'll take a look into custom powers/mortal stunts this afternoon.

EDIT:
Sinister: I was able to make Custom Powers without any trouble. Could you post or send me the power you were trying to add with all the details so I can do some testing?

As for mortal stunts, they are still available, just change the "Skills" dropdown and they should refresh. I'll correct the vanishing in the next update.

Yak - nvm.  I found out what the issue was.  I wasn't putting in -3 for refresh, I just had 3.  And it was popping up an error message.

Makes the power, but when I attempt to select if for the character, it goes all wonky with the error:

Unhandled exception has occurred in your application.  If you click continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue.  If you click Quit, the application will close immediately. Object reference not set ot an instance of an object.
This is the error I get with custom powers.

Okay trying the new version but may I suggest some more Thaumaturgy and Ritual specializations to choose from?  Not a whole lot for earth users.  Gyromancy, floromancy, geomancy for earth elemental users.

You can also add, audiomancy, pyromancy, aeromancy, umbramancy (darkness), cryomancy, hydromancy, cryomancy, magnetomancy as well.  Or maybe a text box for the player to add their own?  :)
