New Online Starship Record Sheets

On a quest to make my Online RPG'ing as easy as possible, and as paper-lite as I can, I have added a Starship Record Sheet to my RPG Profiler. It is loosely based on the record sheet created by Killerwhale, so kudos go to him and his layout; although some of his expansion rules are not there or have been re-worded.

It is my ultimate goal to add a ship picture option as well, but I am still learning the many in's and out's of writing php.

I'd love any input... so go check it out at the following link:

U.S.S. Columbia

PS - I am still fine tuning it so it may change a little over the next hour.

I am not real crazy about the Operations Data layout but I am tired of looking at the screen. I will re-do it later.

I like it. As well as the Character sheet that I have seen you use for your LotR chronicle. Are they available to use?

That's going to be pretty cool, but it's completely broken in Firefox! :) Had to boot up the hated IE to look at it properly :D

I welcome anyone and everyone to go to the following link and create themselves a login name and password and generate as many characters as they would like.

RPG Profiler

The sheets available are:

CODA: Lord of the Rings (my design*)
CODA: Star Trek (my design*)
CODA: Starships (my design*)
DnD 3.0 d20
DnD 3.5 d20

There is also an un-updated new form for my own personal game called Darkhaven.

My designed sheets are set up so that they should print out a nice looking 3 page paper copy (make sure you set your margins to .25; sometimes the bottom margin needs to be set to .35 to .5 depending on your printer - just tweak it in the print preview).

* I make mention of this only so that if there are any questions, I am only sure about the coding of these three sheets - also feel free to report to me any bugs you might find.

Lastly, if you are talking about my PDF character sheet that I created as well, yes, everyone is welcome to download and use that too. It is available somewhere on this forum as well as the Hall of Fire website, under Miscellaneous.

Yea Tobian, sorry... I designed it with Explorer in mind, although Mozilla was how the original designers started the Profiler.

I tried that (even before you allowed me to :) ) but I couldn't complete the registration process. There was always an error, mentioning that the numbers/figures I should have entered didn't match. I know this as a anti spam precaution, but I honestly didn't see any other field to enter any figures in it, leave alone the figures themselves. Maybe I'm blind. Please help me :)

I just sent you a PM, Cut.

If you are having troubles with a Hall of Fire login, then that may be a while due to the site currently being under construction. I will keep you updated re: the HoF site's availibility, but if you were having difficulties at the Profiler site, I set you up... see the PM.

OOOHH!

I just realized the trouble you are having is with my forums Roleplay.avioc.org! :eek:

I am working on that now and will get back to you shortly!

I'm sat up at your forums, just the Profiler site is giving me unsolvable (log out) trouble... But I'll be busy reading up on DarkHaven :D Thanks, Tomcat.

Hey Cut,

I talked to the guy who hosts my boards and he doesn't know why you would be having problems with auto-logging out of the Profiler. He too thinks it may be a cookies issues and suggested you clear your cookies once and then try again. If that doesn't work, it may be something to do with the proxies in AOL... I am a novice when it comes to knowing what that means.

If the cookies don't work, can you connect to the internet via different form of connection besides AOL to see if it stems from that? No matter what, I know that when I sign in under your name I am not having any logout problems.

Let me know if any of this works or not and I'll continue to research from my end.

I will try the cookie dump. :D

I'm not much into computers myself, but I'll try this and that and let you know what happened. If everything fails, delete the account, please. It will be some time, before I have access to another internet-capabable machine, as I can't figure out why my girlfriends computer won't go online anymore...

I'll get back to you with my oppinion on DarkHaven and will read up on Chronicles of the North. So few time to read and so much interesting stuff! You did well there! :D

I'm sorry, but the profiler thing doesn't work for me. I get logged out whenever I try to reach another category. Please delete my account. I thank you for your help and stay true to your forums and will divert some time to the studies of DarkHaven.

Hey, Tomcat, as I look for starship stuff, I notice that while you have the Columbia sheet here, there doesn't appear to be anyplace on the Profiler to actually enter a starship. Am I missing something? I'd like to put the starship sheet up on my support page as well as the character profiler, if in fact it's ready for prime-time.

Hey Patrick,

The Columbia character sheet is the starship in our game, but I sampled it for everyone to see the sheets.

Anyway, what you need to do:

1) Create a login and password at the site - RPG Profiler
2) Go to the Characters (link on left-hand side)
3) You may need to scroll down, but you will see an input field to enter a character/starship name and then a drop down menu
4) Enter the name and choose CODA: Starship on the drop down
5) The next screen that comes up will be a screen that shows you your starship's URL
6) Click on that link and it will take you to the blank sheet
7) Fill it in as time allows, but click save at the bottom for any changes you want to keep
8) Once saved, it will take you back to the Profiler screen which should list all your characters on the left-hand side and all Campaigns you are either in or running.

If you need any other help let me know. :D

Is there a way to get an offline version of that? I tried just saving the file but it wasn't editable after...

Hey TK - I don't know anyway to have an offline version of the software. Although I created the sheets, I am not that adept at the inner workings of the software that I got from Sourceforge.

What you can do is generate a character sheet and leave all data blank. That done, print it as a PDF and then use the forms tools to make it interactive.

To do so you must set the page layout as follows:
1. First do a print preview of the character sheet page
2. Set the top and side margins to .25, the bottom margin you may need to adjust to make sure the sheet is just three pages and no section spills to the next page (range of .25 to .75).
3. Turn off the Header/Footer if you prefer.
4. Just so you know, I generated these sheets using Internet Explorer as my web browser so I cannot guarantee the same results above using Firefox, or any other browser software.
You now should have a neat 2 page print out of the sheet.

If you experience any difficulties, let me know.
