Update available: v05_r1_20110714

This is a big a release. Custom Chapters are now in.

But, before you all go and start creating your favourite club, I should warn that this is a work in progress still.

A couple of things aren't quite finished, and there are a few things not working as they should. However, I felt that uploading it would allow people to see the direction I'm heading in.

I would advise that you don't delete the previous version but do feel free to take a look at the new version.

Thank you very much for this great contribution. I personally have the problem that I cannot save any created characters with the new updated sheet v05_r1_20110714 . I always get Runtime Error 9. The older sheets, that you made, work fine.

Fixed. Not changed the version or release as this was such a simple mistake it was hardly worth it - other than it now works!

Just download and overwrite.

Tricky, I am having trouble downloading the character sheet from the sky fdrive. Keep getting an error that says unable to load the requested workbook." Thoughts on how I can get ahold of this?

Don't click the link, just highlight the line and click download in the panel on the right.

This is a very useful tool

Thanks for the trouble you gone into, to create and update it

Although I have found a few minor glitches, not worth mentioning, still I find it a spectacular piece of work and want once more to thank you

 

@Baat: No problem, glad you like it.

Apologies to others. I've had quite a busy time with work and home life and have not had any opportunity to work on the outstanding issues and future functions at all since the end of July.

Things aren't getting any quieter yet either. But, this is not something that I have forgotten, so please continue to provide feedback, not matter how small.

Just wanted to thank you for the great work and this awesome tool, it's really useful. If you need any help with further developments/bug-fixing, I would be glad to help (I am quite adept at vb myself).

Thanks for developing this. Made doing pre-gens easier. I noticed when printing off the characters that the +10 and +20 boxes in the tactics column did not get checked. It shows them paid in the advances screen but not on the alternative character sheet (never checked the original character sheet).

Is it just me, or does the armor bonus from the flesh is weak not count

gulasch - I have now uploaded an unprotected copy of the file. My VBA skills are not brilliant - good enough to get me this far - so feel free to take a look and suggest any improvements.

Many apologies to all that have been using this little tool and have been waiting for updates. I have been promoted at work and this made me really busy. Before the promotion, I was spending most of my time at work developing the character generator (which was also helping me improve my VBA skills, which I do use in my job).

I am now settling into my new position and although work has not lessened, I may be able to find a little time to do some more development in the near future.

Tricky - Thank you very much for making the source public! Had some time to finally look at it and it is pretty impressive coding. I have fixed some minor bugs with the Custom Chapter Creation and would like very much to work with you on this tool.

I would start and implement the new chapters from First Founding, maybe make a Squad Mode/Solo Mode sheet and continue fixing some bugs. I have taken the liberty of uploading a new version to my skydrive, take a look at it. Most changes are in custom chapter creation, which should fully work in, including advances.

 Just got the First founding book. Looking forward to the newest update of this awesome game assist with these new chapter.

I would like to thank you for all the hard work put into this. I think this is great. I wish I had the coding knowledge to assist with this myself but I do not. As First founding is out it'd be nice to add those things in it. But first your own personal lives should be important. I'm glad someone else decided to help you tricky. now all I need to do is fine one for a Rogue Trader and Dark Heresy character and I'm golden.
