Oggdude,

Found a couple of bugs for you.

Under GM Tools

Reports

Selection Options

"Gears" should be "Gear"

OK I had another under reports but I can't reproduce it now.

And my third one:

Character Generator

Options

Unselecting a source is only working if you unselect more than one source

and I just noticed that Elders has the [h3] tag after it.

You also have an

"Age of Rebellion Core Rulebook" and an

" Age of Rebellion Core Rulebook"

a "Dangerous Covenants"

a "Dangerous Covenants Sourcebook" and

a Dangerous Covenants Sourcebook or page 34 of the Stay on Target Sourcebook"

and you do that again with the Despartate Allies Sourcebook.

Actualy it looks like you did it with most of the sourcebooks. Where you have it with the Name and then the name and sourcebook appended to it.

OggDude,

I apologize if you answered this earlier in the thread but it's so long I can't find it.

That is: When you come out with a new version, what is the best procedure for updating the software and keep your custom GM Tools, data, and characters?

I did it one way with 1.7 but I lost some data. Can you give me your expert ideas and opinion on the subject?

Install from the web install. It will detect the new version and download and install for you. To do this you need to uninstall the version you have then follow the web install link from his signature.

I'm not following you. I used the link on the first page of the thread. It's a web link. If I uninstall it first then that deletes the whole thing and all my data, no? I mean... it's a simple zip file no? Am I missing something?

Ogg - question, when are you going to put in savage spirits in the program? i know someone ask this before but with 329 pages, i don't want to look though to find it (ya i'm lazy)

If you lost data, then something went wrong. OggDude stores user data in a separate location than the software installation. The uninstallation or update processes do not touch the user data areas.

Great catch! Yeah, when I added page numbers to the sources, there were way too many to do by hand (like thousands). So I wrote a program to do it by breaking down the description to get source and page number. Obviously, not all of them came out right Plus, I added "Sourcebook" in few places as well.

Anyway, those will all be cleaned up in the next release.

Minor thing Ogg, you've labelled the AD-1S, and its various custom attachments as the AD-15.

The Defensive 1 trait of the Vibrorapier is not being added to the Melee Defense rating in version 1.7.0.1. This was working correctly in version 1.6.3.0.

Upgraded to 1.7 two characters would not load, and the third would crash the program.

Solution.

Select Datafolder from Launcher menu

Rename the folder Characters to "Something_Else"

Launch Character Generator

Import Characters from "Something_Else" folder

Have fun

A few cache refreshes fixed me up... along with data restore... so I think I'm good.

Oggy,

A question about this. I noticed while going through the XML fils that some of them have

<Sources>

<Source page=...

</Sources>

Some have

<Source page=...

<Sources />

and other just have

<Source page=...

Does this matter at all?

Drive is named as "The Republic" in the description and the key is also misnamed as DROVECOMMAND.

First off, I LOVE your product. You

However, I am finding a problem with the newest build calculating Defense properly when both weapons and armor have defense.

Scenario:

Armor - Defense 1 (Range 1, Melee 1)

Equipped Riot Shield - Defensive 2, Deflection 2

Total Defense for this scenario should be 3/3, yet it is only calculating 2/2 (for the shield), ignoring the armor.

It appears that it is only taking the higher of the values and using that. I know that defense values from the same source do not stack, but as far as I understand, armor and weapons/shields are considered different categories of Defense (thus the specific Defensive and Deflection properties).

Is this a bug, or am I misunderstanding something about how Defense stacks?

The current dev ruling on defense (which has been discussed a few times in this thread not that long ago) is that multiple sources of defense do not stack with one another. It's been "under review" for quite some time, with no word on when we might get the definitive answer.

So as things stand, the program is calculating defense values "correctly" based on the last dev answer.

But don't feel bad if you're confused, as a decent chunk of the forum community felt much the same way, especially as the FAQ very much suggested that defense from armor would stack with the Defensive and Deflection qualities.

Anyone having editing Talents in the Data Editor for custom data sets? I keep getting unhandled exception on editing some, but not all talents there. Wondering if anyone else has experienced this in 1.7?

I have a log of the error, but will be nice and not spam the thread, I can email it to you OD if you would like to take a look.

Upgraded to 1.7.0.1 and my saved characters wouldn't show. Followed instructions to transfer data, transferred folder with a lot of entries. Still no characters showing up and the file folder that used to have 70 entries now shows 0. Any ideas how I might be able to retrieve these characters or should I resign myself to the fact that they're gone?

Try clearing your cache.

FYI, from the name "clearing cache" I was worried that it might delete my saved entries... I made a backup and then tried clearing my cache and didn't need to use the backup because clearing the cache does not delete data in your data directory, instead it does what I actually does what I thought it would and removes the fast reload of "working memory" which forces it to reread the saved files from the drive.

Also FYI the "data editor" tool has a "backup" button on the front page and it would be a good idea to click it before upgrading in the future, just in case.

Oggdude,

First of all, LOVE this program!

I noticed that the shaped nozzle attachment is listed for just about all, if not all, weapons, and it is supposed to only be available for the ion Thruster Gun.

Keep up the great work!

Oggdude,

Found a couple of bugs for you.

and other just have

Does this matter at all?

In the beginning, there was one <Source> line for each piece of master data. Then, FFG started re-publishing stuff in multiple books (like species, weapons, armor, talents, etc). So, I added <Sources>, which could contain multiple <Source>. However, I didn't want to break anything, so I kept the old "<Source>" in. To find all sources, I combined the single with the list.

Tried the clear cache thing first, and also after the data transfer. Didn't do anything either time. Thanks for the suggestions though. I appreciate it. Seems like maybe backing up the data wouldn't have helped if it just gets erased when transferring anyway.

Well Traveled is the one that most recently gave me issues. There were a couple others but I can't remember them off the top of my head. Will attempt to mod a few others and see if I get an issue.

Just tried Vehicle Combat Training, happened there as well.
