Don't know if this has been mentioned before, but the talent trees don't fit on one page when you print the character sheets. (At least not when printing to pdf)

Which background option are you using?

I've got a datafile that's shared with my personal gaming groups with the full talent descriptions*, and for any trees with talents that have a lengthy text entry it overflows if I use the full background option (colors and datapad framing). Switch to the color option (i.e. no datapad framing) and it should fit on a single page.

*and before anyone asks, I will not be sharing said datafile.

I don't know where to change that option though :/

EDIT: Nevermind, found it. Still didn't help since parts of the bottom row talents were still off the page. Guess I'll have to shorten them.

Another feature request: Allow vehicles to be sorted in the same fashion as gear.

You pretty much can when you're creating a new vehicle.

I rather meant in the character vehicle screen. Where they are listed after a character gets access to them. As the list tends to grow and shift over time, it'd be nice to be able to put all the freighters together, all the starfighters together, etc.

Hey OggDude, thanks for making this character creator! Ran a few total newbies through creation last night and they went from concept to complete character sheet in under an hour each. Much obliged for the free and delightful program.

I have a feeling that "collecting" ships is rare and the thought of one having so many ships hadn't crossed his mind.

Well, once you get a Gozanti with a hanger bay, it's likely the party will have at least one or two fighters, plus the freighter. Not to mention ground transportation and/or cargo loaders.... That doesn't even get into ship salvage or pirated vessels...

Asking again about getting the career skill from Homesteads to stick. I've gimmicked it with GM Grants, but I'd like to get it working for real.

It was a bug. I fixed it.

Huzzah. A thousand thanks to you!

I'm getting an error when I try to add a Motivation to a new character. Have there been any bug reports for this yet?

yeah. I get it to... it has been reported a couple pages ago. I use random to add the motivation then tweak to what i actually want it to be.

You have to completely remove any text you put into motivations through the data editor to fix that error. At least that was the only thing that worked for me. I only had like 3 filled out, so I just removed all the book text with the remove button.

i did that. did not fix it for me

Just wanted to say thank you OggDude for an amazing program. Sent you some to help with it. Not much but I hope it helps.

Just noticed that the stats coming up in the Force and Destiny Viper Probe Droid don't match the book. Don't know if that's been reported or not yet.

oggdude, excellent work on this! i just joined this forum to say thank you!

incidentally: AVG in win7 is definitely detecting the chargen app as malware, sadly.

It seems a few anti-virus programs erroneously finds this virus in a number of different products. I did check my system for it, and it's nowhere to be found I also use the same executables for running the apps that are in the ZIP and web install, and nothing's gone bad for me yet.

In general, if a virus is "detected" by heuristic means, it doesn't mean that it necessarily found a virus. It means that it thinks that the program does something that it thinks a virus might do. Depending on the heuristic approach used, it might think all sorts of things are viruses.

Came across this situation in my game tonight: trying to remove a weapon system to add hard points to a ship is unavailable in the character builder.

I wanted to put a Light Tractor Beam on my Y-Wing and was willing to remove the Twin Light Laser Cannons to do it. This should have freed up one of the HP used by the current weapons systems and, in combination with the existing HP on the ship, would allow installation of the External Oversize Weapon Mount attachment (which would then allow the Light Tractor Beam).

Would this functionality be able to be added to the character builder or is it something I'd have to do with the data editor?

have you tried upgrading those with a tractor beam? might work that way.

Hey Oggy!

We've been using your character generator for ages and we love it.

My GM is eager to be able to award us with talents. When is the new release coming?

Tractor beams (even the smallest - Light) require silhouette 4 and a Y-Wing is a silhouette 3 fighter.

Can't get motivations to work.

I keep getting the "unhandled exception" "index was out of range" message when trying to add a new one, and there are none to pick from in the drop-down menu.

EDIT: Nevermind, removed the custom Motivations.xml that my friend had shared with me and it all worked.

Ummm...so this program doesn't work on Windows 10 does it?

I've had no problems running it in Windows 10.

Ummm...so this program doesn't work on Windows 10 does it?

I'm currently running the software (1.5.0.0) on 5 Windows 10 machines:

- Two laptops with Win 10 Pro

- Two desktops, also with Win 10 Pro

- One VirtualBox running Win 10 Tech Preview, build 9926

None of which are having any issues.

All of my installs are the web-based install, if that matters.

Ummm...so this program doesn't work on Windows 10 does it?

I've been using it very successfully on Windows 10... Enterprise? If it isn't called Enterprise anymore, it's whatever level that is.

Of course, this is bootcamped on a MacBook Pro, just to make it more difficult, but it has been flawless for me.

I have not tested a Home version of Windows 10.

I've been running the CharGen just fine on a HP laptop running Win10 with the only issue being about one time in five it takes a minute to load the program initially.

Can you fix the application launch splash screen so that it does not remain on the forefront? When the application launches, I find that the splash screen covers up the middle of the screen even if the user clicks another window.

Thank you. Love using this program.

Its all good. Its working now...well except for the Motivation thing
