Another Character Generator

By OggDude, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG

I'm attempting to add the Ewok from the Allies and Adversaries book to the data editor, but I cannot completely add all of the special abilities. The species data editor seems to max out at 3 "Option Choices" (I'm trying to add a fourth).

Anyone know if this is a glitch or another reason why another can't be added even though other species do have more than 3 (such as droids.).

Hey OggDude,
I love your character generator. Any chance that you could add a ctrl+s key combination in the Data Editor which would act like hitting the "Save" button?
Thanks,

Craftidore

Hello, not sure if this was addressed before, new to the game. @OggDude , first my congratulations on the character generator, it is amazing! I am somewhat new to FFG rules, been a Star Wars GM since it came from WOTC. My question is, I bought the latest books, Dawn of rebellion, Rise of the Separatists and Collapse of the Republic, but don't seem that the lastest version of the Character Generator supports them. I am missing something? I really want to use the generator for a prequel era campaign and some of my players are using Dawn of Rebellion padawan survivor talent tree, on my current FaD, AoR campaigns. It is wasier to track everything with the generator.

Rise of the Separatists is already in the latest version of OggDude's character generator.

By popular demand, Collapse of the Republic will the next sourcebook to be added, followed by Dawn of Rebellion.

Go to vehicle's weapon adding menu. Try to browse "repeating ion cannon"

.net error will occur.

It looks like there's a way to do it with custom items, so I can patch it with that for now, but dice modifiers from gear don't show up in companion pools. Cybernetics do seem to work, but for example the utility arm not adding boosts to mechanics, or a crafted precision instrument not removing setbacks.

Are there any plans to make this tool online or port some of it in already existings online tools (SWSheets, RPG Sessions) ?

No he does not.

I found an error in the default Data Set.

The Renegade Form talent is marked as a conflict talent in the software, but not in the book. It's easy enough to correct, but it is an error, at least according to my copy of the book.

Because I'm not seeing it, it might be me, does this latest release include the Nightsisters Spec? If not, I saw a data set by nlx3647, but cannot manage to import it, "cannot find a valid dataset". Is this set any different anyway?

OggDude has not gotten Collapse of the Republic entered into a release yet. As to the second part, I've never added in anyone else's datasets...I just manually enter new info in over the course of the weekend when a new book comes out, so hopefully someone else can help you out there.

Perfect, this was my biggest concern. Assuming I was missing it.

No it isn't a glitch. What I did was create the Acute Senses as a talent and added it in the talent section.

Guys. I tried to craft vehicle. But speed and armor are at useless level. I think I don't understand something...

Hi guys

I'm struggling for hours now with the tool 🥵 : I'm trying to create a brand new vehicle that actually doesn't exist in the database.

- I tried thanks to the GM tool : the only option seems to select a "New" vehicle and to modify it later, but the possibilities are very limited ; I'd like to modify the Handling score, the Hull Trauma, etc... Not possible :(

- I tried thanks to the Character Generator : same stuff :angry:

- I dove into the "Craft Vehicle" menu, but this is far too complex 😵 as I'm not playing a mechanic upgrading his vehicle ; I just want to create it from scratch

Any idea ? :rolleyes:

Data editor is what you are looking for

Thanks Daeglan

Obviously I need some vacation... 😵

Where does Ogg's store character files? I recently downloaded and installed the newest version of Ogg's on a completely separate drive in my PC, but when I launched it, all my characters were already there.

C:\Users\your profile\AppData\Roaming\SWCharGen

App Data is a hidden folder. There is also a setting in program to change location.

Thanks! I really don't care where they are, I just thought that was super weird. I deleted my old version, installed the new one, saw my characters and just started scratching head lol.

Am I missing it, are the Signature Abilities hiding?

You have to have to have most of the first specialization tree filled for it to appear.

You have to have both of the signature abilities anchor point talents filled for it to appear. Ffg frequently makes undesirable for the cost talents (e.g. dodge at the bottom of steelhand adept is one of the two anchors for unmatched ferocity) be the anchor talents.

Found it, thanks! 👍

Does anyone know if Oggdude plans to add the species from the Allies and Adversaries book into the generator?
