Very cool! That's been my holy grail for years. I keep telling myself "after I retire", but if anyone else gets there first, COOL! :thumbsup:

I took AP Computer Science in high school, so I know how long actual coding can take. That's completely aside from the insanely complicated formulas I developed to make my spreadsheet work. That also took a while. I can wait. Just let me know how I can help you get after those features. The algorithms exist, and were not easy to work out. Turning RPG system rules into code is a lot harder theses days compared to the 1980s, when I first punched a Dragon Magazine program into BASIC and tweaked from there.

More power to you.
I have a B.A.S in Computer and Information tech and I try to avoided programing like the Plague. 8)

LOL Oddly, I find it relaxing solving these kinds of problems.

It's extremely satisfying when the blasted things finally work. :)

Will we be able to sort the skill list by anything other than skill name (like, say, Level)?.

Never thought about it. Right now it's all being drawn via SVG calls so.... might be doable with some code finagling but would not be a priority.

Daryk · « **Reply #126 on:** 05 February 2022, 21:08:31 »

I'm good with a low priority for that. It'll be more useful once some math is implemented. I always sort my spreadsheet by skill level to help me prioritize spemding XP.

rjhancock · « **Reply #127 on:** 05 February 2022, 21:10:08 »

On the main page there is a link to an email address to the support system, could you do me a favor and send one there detailing it? That way it won't get lost.

Daryk · « **Reply #128 on:** 05 February 2022, 21:12:47 »

Will do! :thumbsup:

Daryk · « **Reply #129 on:** 05 February 2022, 21:21:31 »

Got your reply, thanks! :thumbsup:

rjhancock · « **Reply #130 on:** 05 February 2022, 21:22:26 »

That's why I like that feature on my system. Allows to keep a conversation open to get all the details and you'll get notified when it's been done and available in the next code push.

Why everyone would want a detailed pre thought out Chara, have you considered a random Chara generator?

TT

Could be added later. Pick random life paths maybe then add random XP to the added skills.

Daryk · « **Reply #133 on:** 05 February 2022, 22:09:10 »

I had a player do that once. He ended up being the unit doctor... :)

Is it wrong to take Never-do-well after childhood?

I ran that concept against my GM once, their response was NO!

I've always wondered why... Childhood-> Backwoods 1 and 2 then five paths of Never-do-well rolling d6's each time?

Replace the DM. No one needs that kind of negativity these days.

A few minor adjustments published related to UI/UX for User related pages.

Started work on editing of personal data and a history section for those who use modules can enter the progress.

rjhancock · « **Reply #137 on:** 18 February 2022, 21:33:03 »

AToW App Update: Editing of core character data and adding/editing history is being pushed live now. Now you can actually track your life path through history as well as notable events in your character's life.

rjhancock · « **Reply #138 on:** 18 February 2022, 22:45:17 »

And call signs....

rjhancock · « **Reply #139 on:** 21 February 2022, 22:01:43 »

Added Money Management (pushed live)

Started work on XP management and adjusting the edit page display and placement of items to make it cleaner.

Daryk · « **Reply #140 on:** 22 February 2022, 04:20:58 »

Nice! I'll check it out after work tonight! :thumbsup:

rjhancock · « **Reply #141 on:** 22 February 2022, 11:16:10 »

When we get more of the features implemented, we plan on working on dedicated mobile apps for it as well (leaving them in a Beta state for now). Starting with iOS/iPadOS first then an Android version. Anyone here like to help with those as well? They'll be linked to the site of course so all data will translate between them.

Daryk · « **Reply #142 on:** 22 February 2022, 19:49:45 »

Just got home... way too tired to do any troubleshooting tonight... maybe tomorrow... :-\

rjhancock · « **Reply #143 on:** 22 February 2022, 22:52:43 »

Take your time. No rush on my part.

Daryk · « **Reply #144 on:** 23 February 2022, 04:32:38 »

Rog, thanks! I'll let you know when I finally get a chance.

So, I started playing around with it, and have concluded there is one thing that could be real helpful: somewhere listing the total XP spent. Right now, you still have to sit down and do all the math yourself.

Working on that right now actually. :)

AToW App Update: XP Manual Management, Uploading of Profile Pics, Player Pic, Faction Pics. Note: DB had to be reset so need to make new logins and character (sorry had to fix a bug).

Edit: Attached photos of the changes. Money Management, XP Management, Profile Pics for users, players, and factions. DB had to be reset due to a wrong column definition that caused the attachments to not work.

Probably too early to ask, but is there going to be a way for non-official or GM issued XP? Something that breaks the rules.

As it stands right now, the player can adjust the XP as they see fit. It's not automated in any degree. It defaults to a 5k char but if the GM says to start with 6k, just add 1k to it. When the GM mode gets added, they'll be able to pick a player and give them XP.
