I have recently stolen from MK and MR, and put together my own version of the XSL, but In short, I would like to be able to steal from more people. :D I think it would help us to refine our own designs to see as many examples as possible. If you don't have the time to do this, but would like it done, I would be willing to put the PHP time into making something for you. -Mike bombadil<at>oldforest.net

Another issue, or rather a question for now: how QCK/STR are computed when implanting cyberlimbs ? I just try to create a NEW character, and only added cyberlimbs, and saw nothing taken into account in the Attributes part (limbs have base STR and QCK of 4 IIRC for human characters).
I tried both in 'legal' and 'rules off' modes.

Wow, am I behind in my reading???
Okay, the way the program calculates is this: If you have a pair of Cyberarms, it'll use 4 as a base for calculation of STR. The same is true for a pair of Cyberlegs, and it'll be DEX.

Permission problem: check write protect

Now if I double-click on a .sr3 file, NSRCG opens and I get the following message:

NSRCG filename <CR> and filename must exist

No, I'm puzzled. Nobody else is reporting this as an issue so it must be something about your PC... Can you open the SR3 file with a notepad? If you can't, it is definitely an permssion problem. Right click on the file and check its properties.

Hey, I was playing around with it last night, building an NPC Deckmeister. The initial creation went ok, finalized and printed well. However, when I awarded karma for use in upgrading the attributes and skills it became confused. ..................

Yeah, I see it... Okay when I post the new version, it'll be fixed. The program seemed to calculate correctly but just didn't display right. hmm.

On a slightly related note are we covering the SR Tracker here as well, or do we need another thread started to support it?

No, when I start development again (soon I hope), I'll start one again.
thx

This is an indication that a file is probably missing.... check to make sure you have all of the files installed including Range.dat.

Yes! I finally found the bug! Halluyah!
Okay, if you go straight from the attributes page to finalize, it would reset the attributes to 1.
The new version 3.64 will fix this and I'll post shortly.

I don't have it. Can you email it to me, please? :notworthy: Your program is the best! Bandwidth well used in my opinion!

Or the datafiles.zip will have them (those are also on the site).

I did the work for SR3, M&M, MiTS, and parts of Matrix. Lots of work from volunteers enhanced and improved on my initial efforts. This includes work from K.oz, karl, and many others. The DAT editor and the formats makes additions very easy and very modular. That said: Are you volunteering? :D I can't seem to find the time with my efforts on the SRTracker proggie...

Target Group: Members Posts: 35 Joined: 10-March 03 Member No.: 4,228	Found a bug with spell points on Path of the Magician Physical Adepts. If you have more than twenty-five (maybe less too, I dunno) and you jump back to other things, when you get back to spells it resets to twenty-five. I have no idea what the exact problem is...but oddly enough if you uncheck the Path of the Magician box and recheck it, it fixes it. So...simple fix, but just thought I'd inform you. Still love the program.

For those of you with kind words, thank you :D

As for the fix, when you left the magic page, it reloaded the page with the values. I've uploaded a new version and it should fix this issue. You will still have to leave the page if you're on the magic page. :(.
Thanks for the bug reports!

Hmm.. just tried installing the latest version on two different WinXP computers.. no problems with the install, but when I try to run the program, it launches and immediately fires a run-time error dialog. The message is:

QUOTE

Run-time error '9':

Subscript out of range.

You are right... nobody install until I find this...hmm. Okay, found it. The Vehicles.DAT file was corrupt. I've replaced the files in all versions. You can download and replace via UpdatedExe.zip, datafiles.zip. or the complete version.
How did that get in there??? :(

Technomancer Group: Retired Admins Posts: 4,638 Joined: 2-October 02 From: Champaign, IL Member No.: 3,374	mcmackie: I don't think you're program is calcualting matrix initiative and reaction correctly. On the decker info tab, I have a reaction = intelligence and initiative = 2. From this I gather that I'm automatically assumed to be running a pure DNI interface. However, I'm not getting the response increase from the deck I purchased. I purchased a CMT Avatar which the table on page 167 of the Matrix says has a response increase of 1. This should give me a +2 to matrix reaction and a +1 to matrix initiative, but I don't see that reflected in the decker info tab (or on the print out). Also, is there any way to mark what reality filter is used?
