Independent verification FTW! \o/

I don't think I've noted this before but I created a git repo so folks can submit issues for any of my hyperborea apps

https://github.com/gizmomathboy/hyperborea_apps/issues

Also I created 2 issues for items

One for magic items and one for plain items.

Take a look and comment on them if you like.

Not looking forward to writing the logic for this, but I'm not sure of a
"better" syntax off the top of my head.

I think I have the new ethnicities and associated names working the the pc_gen app.

As always, if you find a problem let me know.

Hey Gizmo, It's been a decade since I was doing any coding, but I posted a comment as far as the logic on the Missle strength damage section...

**Posted by gizmomathboy** 2/14/2022 6:28 pm

Yep, looking at that now along with the other one you commented on.

Thanks for the feedback

The create PDF is down, showing a server error...

**Posted by gizmomathboy** 2/15/2022 8:11 pm

I think I fixed it. Try it again.

Hey Gizmo: I was using this to create some backup pre-gens for an upcoming convention game and encountered an error, submitted on GitHub.

**Posted by gizmomathboy** 6/23/2022 7:20 am

Comments made in the github issue.

Just weird that it is ...I don't know, misparsing...or the parameters aren't getting passed along correctly?

I'll see if I can create a more robust url?

**Posted by rhialto** 6/23/2022 7:40 am

My Level 0 Code Monkey class ability of "Detect Error" indicates a problem parsing "tall" in the name...?

**Posted by gizmomathboy** 6/23/2022 8:01 am

LOL

I think it might be the way I create that url. Maybe not properly escaping some of the characters to keep the web gods happy :-)

Hi Gizmo: just entered a PC Gen bug, character sheet attached to the issue.

**Posted by gizmomathboy** 7/28/2022 6:18 pm

I figured out the priest problem and the barbarian ability typo.

Didn't get to the attack rate problem. I need to see what is different between my local version and the online version with respect to the AC problem.

I think I have the problems sorted out.

I'll close the issue out once you test it and make sure it's working for you.

Something that struck me when working on the bug fixes.

What would the weapon mastery choices look like for characters that only have the starter pack for gear?

Here's my first stab at it:

Class: 1st level choice(s); 4th level; 8th level; 12th level

fighter: broad sword, short bow; grand mastery: broad sword; halberd; dagger

barbarian: bastard sword; dagger; short bow; hand axe

berserker: twohanded scimitar; broad sword; hand axe; dagger

cataphract: lance, horseman's flail; long sword; horseman's hammer; dagger

huntsman: longbow; hand axe; fighting net; short spear

paladin: long sword; footman's mace; lance; dagger

ranger: long sword; longbow; dagger; hand axe

warlock: battle axe; light crossbow; short sword; dagger

I don't have this in my code yet, but when I do I think I'll have a toggle to select weapon mastery choices which will show up in the output.

Awesome, thanks Gizmo: I'll run some more tests over the next few days. Oddly, I was thinking about the weapon mastery as well, and think your list is good. It would be reasonable to assign WM to the weapons on the weapon combat table, by default, and then folks can always edit the PDF after.

Just retested with a Priest and Barbarian: everything looks good, recommend closing the issue as resolved.

Excellent.

I've made some other changes...and accidentally pushed some code to "prod" before I intended, but it wasn't much to get it working :-)

The bigger project is to make some bigger changes to make it easier (I hope) to output to different formats.

I have ideas for how to deal with stuff like the 3e character sheet, JSON, and stuff for roll20's character sheet.

I probably could be talked into maybe doing something for other VTT systems out there if there is interest.

However, I don't know if any other VTTs have character sheets for Hyperborea.

**Posted by rhialto** 8/01/2022 3:27 am

I just entered a new issue for the Monk: seems to be using 2e, not 3e?

Outputting to different formats would be great, though I'm no help on Roll20 or any other VTT, since I've tried them and decided virtual gaming just isn't for me.

**Posted by gizmomathboy** 8/01/2022 7:58 am

Yeah, I haven't done a thorough "2e to 3e" check so...

Well, the monk is mostly sorted out. The "new weapon skill" stuff for non-fighter types is there...for the monk.

The name thing is a problem I've been trying to figure out since the beginning. Mostly getting pdftk to deal with unicode/utf-8 stuff correctly.

I also noticed the monk's faster MV isn't on the sheet correctly.
