Just so you guys know I'm currently working on making something similar to Combat Manager. I'm trying to condense everything and do a few other things. Not even close to Beta testing, though, but I'm trying.
I'm making it in a website format though, rather than a program, through PHP, Javascript, Ajax and MySql but I don't know how stable I will be able to get it. I'm have yet to be able to use it as a PC in my home sessions and I don't have much spare time, but I'm trying to get it up.
I LOVE combat manager and am sad to see it die, I even use it as a PC because I like it so much.
I debated on posting this at all as I don't wanna give false hope.
