I'm using Mac OS X 10.4.3 and I got it to install and run with no problems.
I really like how user friendly and efficient the design is. I'm excited to see this develop. Wish I could do more to help but I know nothing about coding... :( |

0.1.7 is up. Only a few things added, not everything I wanted. Everyone check the skills and the attribute costs.
I know freeform is missing, as well as specializations. Let me know what else is missing. Typos and mis-categorization is easy stuff to fix, I'll have a data entry tool available at some point where people can help fix that, I'm more worried about the operation of it. In answer to a few questions: Yes, I do plan to GPL it at some point. However, after using OSS for about 10 years I know that if something is GPL'd before it's finished, it rarely gets finished. I do take patches though. XUL is just an plain text XML file and Javascript, as well as CSS and a locale file(Any translators? Someone want this in German let me know and I'll tell you how). You can rename the .xpi to .zip and unzip it, in the chrome/ directory is a .jar file, rename that to .zip and you can extract that. The code is messy, ugly, and not well commented, but I'm trying! =) I've also set up a bug tracker. You can access it with this link: Bug Tracker As well as from the bug icon that is now in the program. You have to register to post a bug. Anyone that wants to help this helps coordinate. Data entry will be forthcoming, I'm going to need someone to administrate it, I'm thinking of breaking it down by page and someone takes a page and enters the data, and someone else takes verification and verifies the data. Anyone have ideas or want to prematurely volunteer? Chcek out the new version. If you have it, Tools->Extensions->Find Updates or a little Up arrow will appear in the Firefox browser, top right corner I believe. Otherwise, you can install it normally by going to: Install sr4chargen 0.1.7: Make sure you have Firefox 1.5 I'm glad to hear reports of others using it on Mac and Linux and that it works. Not sure about a spinner on the ratings box, but I'll try to think of something. XUL has a lot of widgets, but not as many as some of the more advanced platforms. You can see them all at: The XUL Periodic Table of Elements Or perhaps some type of image or images or buttons? I want it user friendly but want it working fully as my top priority. Enjoy everyone, comments and feedback welcome. Problems and bug reports go to the bug tracker, as well as an issue I made, issue #1, what needs to be done to finish this. Trying to to balance all my projects and recently started using this and now my life is *much* easier work wise, both what I get paid for, what I'd like to get paid for, as well as my hobby type stuff(sr4chargen). |

I'd like to do the german translation, but i'm not really good at programming,
Do i need high knowledge of programming, or can i do it with almost no programming knowledge? |

No programming knowledge.
You just take a file like this: <!ENTITY label.attribute.body "Body"> <!ENTITY label.attribute.agility "Agility"> <!ENTITY label.attribute.reaction "Reaction"> <!ENTITY label.attribute.strength "Strength"> <!ENTITY label.attribute.charisma "Charisma"> <!ENTITY label.attribute.intuition "Intuition"> <!ENTITY label.attribute.logic "Logic"> <!ENTITY label.attribute.willpower "Willpower"> <!ENTITY label.attribute.essence "Essence"> And translate the part in quotes at the end into a new file. Races and skills have to be translated in the data entry style though. But no programming knowledge needed. |

Just going through the new update, looks nice, and 2 things I've noticed
There is no place that tells you how many BP you have used all together, just one for each page. Spellcasting is still a combat skill Other thqan that, loving the generator |

Was just experimenting with it and noticed that there is a running total at the top indicating how much BP you have left to spend. Not exactly what you're looking for, but pretty close. Other than that, a great effort - looking forward to seeing this project evolve. AJC |
