Tomasina, that's a good idea. The reasons I didn't include that option is to keep the database compact, and to prevent people from adding in the books' descriptions verbatim (thus violating copyright). I have to be careful with how easily people are able/encouraged to violate copyright. Again, I may just be paranoid. I think in this case, however, it is not a means of copywrite infringement since you are not providing any copywrited information, and the feature has a arguable value case (allowing those of us who own the books to insert the action notes or other helpful information)... meaning the only person who would need fear copywrite infringement is the person who publicly releases a mod with the action notes. I hope that something like this can be added as it would make the took much easier for me as I currently have to type in the action notes EVERY time... if I could do it once in a mod it would be wonderful. My two cents, Tomasina

This would be a great addition to this very useful tool. I'd be curious to hear Stain's answer. I may add something like this to the Morph Formatter if he has other things on his plate, though it would be great to have it be in the Character Builder as it's already such a robust tool.

Aight, tomasina, you've conviced me... We'll give it a go for the next release. Speaking of which, I'm taking a little break from the project so it may be a bit before it's out. There have been a number of great ideas recently suggested that I'd like to implement, but it's going to take some time for me to think my way through them. Toodles...

I don't know if this has already been said, because I didn't read the whole thread, but the cost for "Vision enhanced" is wrong.

Haven't used that one yet on my characters, what is wrong with it?

For each option you choose the cost goes up 33w [!] The same happens with the Modifier number.

Actually, it's 0 .33 white stones - which equates to 1 red stone per option.

With only one option chosen.

I've tested the program and have not been able to reproduce your results. Are you using any mods? If so, then remove them from the 'Loaded Mods...' menu option and try again. If you aren't using any mods, then completely uninstall the program and reinstall it. I don't understand why you would be getting these results. Instead of replying on this thread, please PM me and we'll get this fixed. Thanks!

My window gets cut off at the bottom of the "Cost Limit" and "Equipment Cost" boxes. Does anybody know why this might happen? I have not made any modifications of any sort to the program. I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program numerous times. I love the program redardless of this defect that seems to only impact me. The only problem is that I have to mentally add up the costs every time I create a character. I always thought it was kind of weird to have a cost limit box, but no total cost box. Now I know I just can't see it.

Thank you for the feedback, terramax. It probably has to do with your screen resolution. Using a minimum screen resolution of 1024x768 should allow you to see the entire form. When the program extends beyond the monitor's viewable area, it automatically adds a scroll bar on the right to allow you to scroll up and down the character form's hidden portions. At this point there isn't any form-resizing coded in the program; that's something that I've wanted to do for a while but other features have taken priority. My goal is for the next release to address this issue.

Yeah, I get that scroll bar. Unfortunately it only takes me down to what I said in my previous post. I don't really have much choice in my screen resolution. I run my computer through a 36" HD tv and it only recognizes a couple different resolutions. I will try your suggestion though. Thanks for the advice.
Edit: I just checked my resolution and it is already set to 1024 X 768.

My guess is that your tv is not operating at a true 1024x768, but more like that resolution is somehow compatible with the tv's native resolution. Otherwise, it shouldn't matter what you're using as a monitor so long as it's at least running at 1024x768. I wish I had a better solution for you, so I apologize for the inconvenience.

Nah, it's no problem. Math was always my strong suit so I'm able to add it up in my head pretty easily most of the time. When I was just using the first book, I was able to make the entire character almost completely from my head without looking in the book or writing down numbers. I only looked in the book to double check the costs while writing out the CAD and checked the math then to be sure it was all right.
There are definite problems with using a tv instead of a monitor, but it isn't your fault. There is no way you could have predicted those issues unless you were also running through a HD tv.

A bug has been found that causes the program to subtract the wealth bonus twice from Powered Armor costs. It's been fixed, but I'm waiting to see if other bugs come up before I release anything.
