Crap, I am getting the "No Output" error again. I even reinstalled the software in hopes that would solve the problem. I am going to attempt to reinstall AND delete the host directory after saving my sr3 files. Wish me luck.

Nothing worked. Grrr...

I deleted the reg keys, the host directory, and anything else associated with NSRCG.

Does anyone else have any ideas?

Ok, going insane here. I just loaded the Archetype Face for S&G. I finalized it and tried to print it and it worked just fine. So, how on earth did I mess up my other .sr3 files??

I've tried just about everything I can think of to get the printing to work again and nothing seems to do it. I keep getting the "No Output" message.

McMackie, are you sure there is nothing wrong with the program? A lot of us seem to have this problem...

It has to be a problem with the sr3. Or, the sr3 file is getting corrupted by the program itself. It only seems to happen when I try to print a character after alterations. I can print a new character and an archetype but nothing after I load a character, add earned karma, etc...

Done, check your email please. =)

Also, if there is any other file you need sent, let me know.

McMackie: I tried using the new RANGE.DAT you sent me and I'm still getting the error. I'll try again in a little bit and see what I can do to play with it, but work is busy right now.

I seemed to be getting the same error.

I _think_ it was only when I tried to print a character I hadn't previously saved.

More specifically.

When I would save the character, it would then let me print without any problem.

p23.

FIXED!

That file you sent me worked, so yeah... update your site with it please!

Mine worked as well! Thanks mcmackie!!

Thanks Grey and Nindaru for sending me your SR3 files.. This allowed me to quickly find the errors!
New version posted 3.62 fixes "No Output" error. The cause:
I had limits no more than 50+ active skills, 50+ knowledge/language skills, 100+ carried gear, or 100+ not carried gear OR the program broke.. No fixed with no limits at all...

ALSO:
Side note: The NSRCG program now supports XML/XSL as demonstrated by the two included (now!) XSL sheets.... These means you can build your own versions (if you know how, don't ask me... I don't know XSL) Thanks to the kind efforts of two outstanding people: Michael Rowlett & Michal Kumžák...
You can see how you might build your own versions...
To use: select XML output, select in the pull down box SR3-Character.XSL... The resulting XML file can be opened by clicking on it and MS Internet Explorer will render as appropriate...

Please try it out and let me know what you think!
Jacking out....

Problem, when I print to XML using the above instructions, I see a nice blank layout. Good organization, but no numbers, text, nothing.

Anything you want me to send you?

Looking at the gear.dat file, it seems like I can add ratings to all of the misellaneous gear by changing the definitions at the top and then fixing all of the gear using that definition. What will it break if I do that?

rating, hmmm. Yeah, I've been thinking much the same thing... If you wanted to insert a rating field, it would have little impact to the program (I don't use it)...
Here's the hard part: Any category (type) you change has to be changed for all of them... That's why I suggested a new category...
Let me know what you come up with

Simple solution, I'm using category 21 (Stuff with Ratings) for everything I'm changing over Simple and neat.

I'm attempting to make a character using Points system with 123 points. It won't let me increase any attributes at all, giving the reason "Cannot raise above racial maximum." Is point broken right now, or do I just have an old version?

A-HA! That would do it. Silly me not reading instructions. =\

Please send me both the XML and the SR3 files... I'll check it out...

Shouldn't "spell points" be given to PhysAds solely for the purpose of bonding a weapon focus/initiating? I can't seem to get any, and, if I remember right, they can do both at chargen. Or maybe just bonding. Either way, though, no "spell points" means no bonding/initiating.

You can initiate at chargen?

I notice in cyberware you can buy 1 Kid Stealth leg. It says both legs must match.

No "Tracked" Skill from R3.

Somehow I imagine that allowing adepts to blow 25,000 nuyen for a Spell Point during character creation is a much more common house rule than allowing betagrade implants.

I think he was misterming the houserule of forbidding cultured bioware rather than talking about allowing beta-grade cyberware.

I used the incorrect term, then. An optional rule.

I'm pretty sure you get spell points that can be used as karma with Priority. If not, well, PhysAds are at an incredible disadvantage as starting characters.

Sure, they can effectively have 8 points of powers, but, they can't even get a weapon bonded to them until a few runs in, whereas a Mage can get a few spells, then bond any focus he/she wants? Sure. That's fair.

Edit: Within availability/rating limit, of course.

Once again, they receive NO spell points and cannot even purchase spell points during character creation. It's a core rule. One moment and I'll get the page reference for you.

SR3, "Magical Gear and Spells," p. 60. Second and third paragraphs.

Feh. Makes no sense to me. Like the SR2 ruling that PhysAds start with Spell Points that can only be used for bonding a weapon focus. Makes so much more sense.

Oh well... *mutters*

tanka, if you want to houserule something that would allow that, then go for it (like spending starting nuyen on spell points or whatever). Just don't expect McMackie to change the program for a houserule, cause then he'd have to start doing stuff like that for the hundred or so houserules out there. Ya know?

When I put Muscle toner/augmentation on a character with a cyberlimb, the program doesn't adjust for the percentage reduction that's supposed to occur with cyberlimbed characters.

Just another bug to bring to attention.

Is the Bio-Index actually reduced when the ware is installed in a Cyberlimb? I know that this is true for Cyber, but I don't recall there being the same ruling about Bioware.

Bug I just found in a rather annoying way.

If you try to save a character to a write-protected floppy (I didn't know the thing was) you get "Run-time error 70: Permission denied" and the program closes without saving.

I'll be remaking my melee samurai idea on this computer now...

(In case you were wondering, I was on the other computer because it runs faster and doesn't crash as often.)

Edit: I just remembered this after seeing Hunter's post. You're supposed to buy enhancements for each limb separately, but NSRCG adds the enhancements for different limbs together.

Thus Cyberarm with Str+3 and Cyberarm with Str+3 adds up to Str+6.


Edit: working on it on the new computer. Guess I have a newer version here, cause there's Str Enhance in pairs now... But There's an error on the Attributes screen, I think. Str 5 with Muscle Aug 4, Cyberlimb Str+3, and Suprathyroid is giving me Str 10(7).

McMackie: Will you be reprogramming to make room for the new Man and Machine errata? Bioware effections magic loss a lot differently now.
