Has anybody heard from Reliant about his very very awsome character generator program?
I was wondering if he or anybody else was going to be updating the datafiles in it to include stuff from the Player's Guide.
I started doing it myself, but I am about 1/2 through the early life stuff and it has taken 3 hours! Man, that is a lot of work http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/frown.gif
Where can we find it ? Is it in the Computer Core ?
------------------
No matter where you go, there you are.
Yup
Whew! I think I have put 8 hours into it now. I have all the new Early Life packages and the Acadamy Life packages from the Players Guide added in. They *seam* to be working right.
If nobody else has done this yet, anybody want to help? I could use somebody to write .txt files that list the skills and such for all those things. A seperate .txt file for each package. It is the description that appears in the window when you select a choice for the character.
Any takers?
You know, I've used this a couple of times, but the psychic species' Psionic Skills never make it into the finished character file. Any idea why that is?
mactavish out.
I didn't notcei that. It looks like it wont accept skills without a specialization.
I just got it working by adding a specialization to the skill called "No_Specialization"
Well, I finished up to the Cadet Cruises today. Everything is looking great.
BUT I discovered a bug. It doesn't seam to track the Empath edge. I think he probably just has a typo in the source code.
Does anybody know Reliant's email address? I tried the one in the computer core today, same as the one in the readme. I got mail returned.
FYI, Reliant is no longer maintaining that program, but turned the code for it over to me. Real life has prevented me from doing much to date, but there have been some updates. I have tried submitting the update here a couple of times, but none have been accepted as yet.
I am open to suggestions and problem reports, and hope to look into them soon.
I am also considering some plans for a major reworking of the editor as well, so wish lists would not be out of line either.
I've actually created 'modules' for several of the sourcebooks, for use with Reliants's character generator. I started months ago working on the Player's Guide, but it ewas so hard, I stopped. Until late, I figured out it was actually pretty easy. I have finished the Price of Freedom, Player's Guide, All Our Yesterdays, Vulcans, First Line, and I am working on Way of Dera, DS9 Core, and RRR.
Unfortunately, I am writing on my laptop right noew, because my PC is in the shop, but as soon as it's back, I 'll link up one or two of the modules.

And download the Zip. http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/smile.gif
If anyone has a more updated version (lkike the one with all that stuff that was just mentioned) I would be more than willing to host it on my webpage. http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/smile.gif
Anyone made it possible to make Enlisted with it yet?
I have an enlisted generator, but as I posted earlier, I don't have it on my laptop, but on my PC in the shop. I'll post that as soon as I get it back.

I'd like to see these add on modules. I hope they post them on the site here soon. Dont know when that'll be as Don is in for a sinus operation.

I would also be interested in seeing the additional data that has been added to the program, as well as problems encountered.
I have recently downloaded Larry's updated version of the generator. It is a grand improvement. I am also working on updating the files. But one question. Can you add new races & if so how? I am e-mailing Larry soon too & will ask him as I don't know how often he has been able to get to the boards.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Greetings again all http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/smile.gif
I am continuing to Update the Generator. I have added several races, most of which came from the site here. Have added the Efrosians, Caitiana, Cairn, Benzite and the Romulans as well. I have also updated the Early life to include everything from the Players Guide pretty much. Am working on updating the Cadet Cruises to include packages from the Core book & the Players guide. Also fixed a couple of random skill bugs I found. Anyone wanting a copy feel free to e-mail me.
Larry Thank you for your help too. The program is great.

When you feel the version is ready for mass consumption, I would love to host it on my webs site as I have for Larry's version. The more the merrier I say http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/smile.gif

Has anyone made a TOS-specific version of a character generator?
