Does any one have any ideas for using this generator with a Mac. Or issues with adobe reader with generator? I have seen the results of this program and it is awesome, hope to get it working on my PC.
I'm running a virtualbox virtual machine with windows 7 and running chargen at it, on my mac. Works very well. Only downside is that the life time of the virtualbox image is 90 days, because I'm cheap and using IE test images, which MS offers free ( https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/ ).
Steps to use those images:
1) download and install virtualbox
2) download windows image and unzip the zip file.
3) open virtual box and open File -> import appliance then select the image you unzipped. Optional: After importing is done, right click the image on a list and choose settings, and change memory and cpu settings from system tab to suit your needs (I use 2048 Mb and 2 core and it's fast enough for me). Also, setup shared folder and set copy paste to bidirectional to make usage between mac and virtual machine easier. (Shared folder is great, you just map it as drive in windows, and it works like normal network drive, and everything you save there is instantly usable on mac. This is great for example if you want to export/print character sheets to PDFs for distribution.
4) start virtual machine, download and install character generator and use it.
If you decide to try this way, google is your friend if you have problems. Also, I can try to answer if you PM me.
