I keep getting an HTTP 404 when I attempt to download it. : (

The link here is fine; the problem is the download from the site.

Not Found.


I didn't create the program. Just to let everyone know. I just really appreciate it.

Any bug reports, send them to the programmer at the address on the site. He is excellent at patching and updating the programs.

Seriously, try them out. They are very well wrought.


Oh, ok, I thought I was helping. I WANT to try...


Mairkurion, If you are still having problems, I could email the chargen to you. Drop me an email at talhoyle@yahoo.com and I will happily send the generator to you. I know it can be emailed, as all my players use it for my Sunday RotRL game.


When you say "Available online" I assumed you meant it was web based :( No Windows here.

What format do you keep the datasets in (spells, feats, etc?)? Would you be interested in collaborating on keeping that stuff current? I have the feats and have started working on class features in a MySQL DB format and can export to excel or csv.

Edit:Just noticed you are not the dev... nevermind
Edit: DLed... it's all excel based... not much I can do with that :(

Incidentally the link on the page for SCoreGen is broken... you can manually grab it here


Taliesin, thanks for your offer. It seems that the problem has been resolved, for I have successful download! I will try to come back and post good things once I get to try it out.


Don't thank me, bump the thread occasionally, so other people can see it.

Pardon, but why are you multi-posting this in several forums and onto existing threads? Once is enough, truly.


In the hope that one of the threads escapes the oblivion met by the first three times I tried to get word out about this. By posting multiple times, in multiple threads, I increase the chance of someone stumbling onto it.

I have been telling people about this site for about fifty days. Is this the first you heard about it? If it is, then that answers your question.

I heard about this previously and was previously irritated that it was Excel based. And was a little more frustrated that you posted it like it was brand new... and even more frustrated that you spammed the boards with it. Please don't.


I downloaded both and thought it was pretty well done. Of course I'm basing my game in Eberron so I'll have to modify the clerics section.


I am glad you found it useful. Seriously, if even one person finds this marvellous resource because of these four threads, I have done what I set out to do.


Bump


Bump.


Did you ever try PCGen? Imho it is far superior.

Found it, and found it very useful. Thanks.

Giving it another push! Any plans on updating this when the actual Core Rules come out?

I know the author plans to.. if anything he has been slow to update what he's done at the moment, because like all of us.. he wants to see the final rules in a few weeks.

Not a problem!

I will be certainly be updating the Pathfinder RPG version of sCoreGen to the final core standards. Hopefully there will be a vibrant "spot the differences" thread here on the Paizo boards as there was between Alpha 2 and 3.

I hope so too, if only so that it helps me spot the differences for my own campaigns. I imagine, though, that we will be discovering things for quite some time, given the sheer size of the rules-set.

Will you be making a macro to allow only legal Pathfinder Society builds once version 2.0 of the Guide to Pathfinder Society Organized Play is released in the next few days?

It certainly should be possible to have a macro put all adjustable settings to Pathfinder Society standards, and other functions in the spreadsheet inform users when they've made selections for which they are not eligible. Enforcement is another thing, though, unless you want to distribute a special edition in which all the sheets are password locked and none of the backend can be unhidden.

Any status on when we'll see your generator be completely "Core Rules Ready"?

(How's that for an original way to bump this thread?)

Any news from the OP?

Taliesin Hoyle,
Any news?

Liberty's Edge

Everybody do the "Bumpity bump"!


As with Dennis Da Ogre, I opened the thread under the assumption that it was available online, as in browser-based, rather than a download. I was further frustrated by the 'if you cannot download it, go to X link' posted which was simply a second pointer to the same download. If it ever actually IS available online, and not 'available for download from an online page', I'll happily look into it.

Liberty's Edge

Yet another bump!
