Character Builder

Hi all

I've been making a character builder based off Dracos' Spreadsheet doing the same thing but simpler and easier to use.

I thought i'd make my own topic so i can post changes and update notes as and when they're done without hijacking Dracos' topic

changes are in the readme

Well hope you enjoy it and have fun playin!

Nice i really like it! Heres a couple of little tweaks and ideas.

1. Have an "undo button" incase you buy the wrong thing.
2. Have a box where you can type in the level you want to start at, instead of having to press level up 100+ times.

Also, if i enter a characters name, such as my own that includes < and ( then it says it is illegal and i can't buy any skills.

Otherwise its really good, and very easy to use! Nice work!

Hi again y'all

Say hello to v1.2 !

change log:
-New/Load screen given overhaul to add the following functions:
*start at a chosen level for new characters
*saves character names inside save file to allow (,),<,>,etc to be useable
-due to files no longer being named after characters made filehandling easier
*Added ability to rename/duplicate characters after saving them
*Added preview of file name and basic stats when choosing a saved character
-Added a new undo button under History to go back to a previous character stats undoing wrong purchases

ENJOY!

srry for double post, link to newest will always appear up top btw

Well its a nice program

I had to say good bye to my calculator

But I have a question, I cant buy subclasses when my char is lvl 200+
Are they not available yet?

not atm m8, they're still in beta and keep changing all the time so would rather w8 until they are more stable so i don't have to keep updating my program to compensate for the sub-classes being updated

but don't worry i havn't forgotten about them

YEah, It makes sense.

I hope they subclasses get released soon, I luv your program.

Hi all, long time no see

Just thought I'd leave a message letting you know I've started working on my character builder again. I'm changing quite a bit of background code to make class changes easier for myself and the good news for you is Sub-Classes are being made functional in the next release. So Carry on killing and will cya soon on UT sometime (need to reinstall as formatted me computer recently).

Version 2 out now!

Sub Classes now purchasable, saveable, undoable, and lots of words ending in able :p

Enjoy!

Just been playing UT2k4 again recently and noticed the wiki details don't mention some of the new abilities and so making my program up-to-date with the server is becomeing quite diffucult. Is there an easy way to get what abilities each class has on your DC servers? Sub class information would be a real help as I don't even have access to these yet

UPDATE: v2.1 update
-Reorganized abilites to how they appear in-game rather than alphabetical (Only done for base classes at the moment as don't have access to sub ones)
-Added missing abilities for general class (DefCent and few others)
-Abilities can now be found on DC Wiki by information screen via 1 simple click
-Stat points adjusted so level 5 (starting level) you get correct 28 points not 35
-New characters and Reset now starts at level 5 rather than 1
-Added None class with abilities prior to purchasing an actual class
-Added Max Button to buy all levels of an ability easily

UPDATE: v2.2
-Character stats with same name now can be looked up on DC website with 1 click
-'Adrenaline Weapons' Master fixed and now purchasable
-Ability Requirements color coded for easier viewing
-Ability Requirements Auto scroll to current level if offscreen
-Some abilities have extra comments added showing what you get next levels
*Automatically shows next available level unlocks
*Other levels can be clicked to show their unlocks
-Sub classes now viewable at any level but only buyable at proper levels
-Selling Sub Class now refunds stat point correctly
-History 'collapse all/expand all' on right click added

UPDATE: v2.3
-Cap Limits for skills now shown on mouseover of relavent skills
-Stat points remaining to max all skills/abilities shown on mouseover of available stat points
-Characters can be searched for on DC website before as well as after character creation
-New freeware icon added to program (from 'http://icones.pro/en/' created by 'Alessandro Rei' so full credit to him for that)
-Menus added to save/load screen to clear display of buttons
*Double clicking save insta-loads it (was in previous versions but listed just in case you didn't know)
*Double clicking added for buying (sub)classes as well as buy button
*Right clicking a save now has new menu for filehandling of saves
*File menu at top has same functions as above but with exit/new character buttons too
*About button put under new help menu
-All screens now can use 'x' button to close them, and minimise buttons for save/load and builder screens added
-Undo button moved to collapse/expand all menu on right click of history
-Stat points to spend can now be entered manually from 1-99
-Icons for main classes added (submissions of better ones or subclass ones welcome)
-Bug Fixes:
*Level information no longer shows for levels not available when ability is maxed
*Undoing a class showing sell sub class button bug fixed
*Save changes dialogue only shows now when changes are actually made prior to last save
*Saving no longer closes builder screen so can save and carry on planning easily
*Invalid levels for new characters can no longer be made (<5 still allowed but not 0 or blank else defaults to start level 5)

Mostly a usability update and some bug fixes.. Enjoy!

Note:
If anyone wants to come up with class or even sub class icons for this program you're more than welcome to and full credit will be given.
I'm no artist so any images you can create that I can use are more than welcome.

Hello. Could you upload it again? Link seems to be invalid

Well since you asked so nice and a bit sad with the frowny face, I've decided to dig up the last version I did. I havn't worked on this for ages so no idea how outdated it might be to the current server setup

Say hello to version 2.4! lol

Hope you find it useful however!

Now if someone could send me all the skill details/req for the current state of the server then maybe i could do a newer version

*hint hint*

v2.4
-Sub classes now have their own icons so check them out!
-Icons now displayed on build screen next to class name
-Monsters for Loaded Monster Levels now shown
-Reset Bug Fixed

Man, You're awesome!!! Thank you!
Since wiki is down, I thought, I lost all info on skills, but your program not only helps to plan things, but also has very informative descriptions, awesome!

P.S. Has a hard time downloading from FF, because my contry seems to be banned. So, if that possible, could you give some mirror for future releases? Thank you!
