DFRPG Character Manager v2.0

[kenposan]

First off, this thing is really awesome!

I've noticed a couple (related) things.

I have a wizard and when validating it says I don't have wizard's constitution. When I look, it's there, but the program isn't liking the apostrophe. You also then can't display the description and I get an error:

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.


This is true for the Phase Worksheet as well. When I've used an apostrophe or a quotes, I get this (but not all the time):

 &apos;with great power comes great responsibility&apos;

[yakoaohw]

I'll take a look at the effects. It is probably checking the description for another custom item, which is of course blank because you are creating an effect.

As to the &quot; issue, I thought I had dealt with all those (it was a big problem in version 1). I'll go through and check that the characters are being trnaslated back and forth correctly. In the meantime, you can of course avoid the error by removing the charatcers. Not ideal, I know, but it will work until I check the code. The others characters that will cause issues are &, <, and >.

Hey so I have a wizard character and their musts include The Sight and Soulgaze. Normally if you have both Soulgaze is supposed to be discounted and it's not. Is there something that can be done about this or no?

[eri]

Seems to be two different entries for Soulgaze. If you take the one that says (the sight) in parentheses, you get the free version; if not, you get the one that costs -1.

[ZacharyHill227]

yep just discovered that lol thanks

[Avriel]

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.

[Avriel]

You don't have to give us any reason at all, the simple fact you've done what you've done is amazing.  It's a really cool program.

[Sanctaphrax]

Gave it another try, found a few more oddities.

First, the Adjusted Refresh bubble on the character sheet lists the amount of Refresh I've spent. Isn't it supposed to list the amount I have left?

Second, the Total Refresh Adjustment bubble on the character sheet lists an amount equal to my base refresh plus the amount I've spent. Shouldn't it just be equal to the amount I've spent?

Third, the program doesn't turn my Total Refresh Adjustment number red until I've gone into negative Refresh. Shouldn't it do that when I hit zero?

[devonapple]

I noted issues with the Refresh counts as well.

However, I was pleased to see that the Custom elements work now!

Here's a note for your System Reqs. It's not a bug so much as a documentation mistake: Internet Explorer 9 requires Windows Vista or later (32 or 64 bit). So by requiring IE9, you are requiring Vista.

Unfortunately I'm on my age-old XP machine right now so I can't check it out, but I'll install it on my laptop later and give it a whirl. Thanks!

I was not aware IE 9 required vista. You can still use the program without it, you'll just have to use "export character sheet" instead of view and open the html file in something that supports html5/css3. You can open it in 8, but the sheet will look terrible.

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.

[Avriel]

Well...I can save it, but then when I try to the program with it, it tells me

"the custom file 'deepend.dfcm' is invalid.  It will not be loaded.
Error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

help?  New power level name was Deep End, hence the save name.

The refresh issue is fixed though!

If you add a single evocation element and then remove it, it throws an exception for the index value being -1.
