Buh Bam! Note that this is an ALPHA build, and that you will need PCGen 6.07.03 to run it.
In the "Select Sources" box, click the seldom-used "Install Data" button at the center bottom. Click the "Select" button and wend your way through the directory tree until you find the .zip file you downloaded. Choose it, and it should install.
It will talk about data being "outside ..." something or other (I forget the exact message); that's fine. It will create the needed subdirectories that weren't there before.
Downloaded. Starting first character now :-)
Yippee!!
I've been putting the characters I built by hand into PCGen just to test things out a bit, and I think I've found an error. Where do I report it?
(My character is a mystic, and PCGen is not letting me add enough spells, because it's including the connection spell in the spell allotment. I'm supposed to have three level 1 spells known, plus the connection spell, but it's only allowing three level 1 spells, including the connection spell.)
Thanks...first time I've used PCGen in years...seems to come back pretty easily :)

I knew we'd suck you back in eventually. :)

Actually, there is not a problem, I was misinterpreting the rules. High casting stat gives more spells per day, not more spells known.
Thank you for the info on reporting errors, I will certainly use them if I find anything.
Hmm...
Unless I am missing something, the insight bonus from the Mechanic's Bypass class feature does not seem to be added to the total skill modifier. No idea if the same happens with other classes, such as e.g. the Operative's Edge ability.
I am stoked for this since hero lab has really dropped the ball with the direction they are going.
Operative Specialization does not add the two free skills per level. Does add the skill focus. Have logged in jira.pcgen
Making a soldier and it does not add the weapon proficiency feats in.
None of the classes add "proficiency" feats. They grant the proficiency directly as we read the rules.

Thanks for the report. That is now fixed and will be in the next release.

Addressed. Please avoid the regular reporting on JIRA under Data Bugs. The data set isn't tied to the PCGen release being a standalone. The only group suited to handle would be 'https://pcgenorg.atlassian.net/projects/NONVERSION/issues/?filter=allopeni ssues'. The FB groups are actually best since we can address and update the issues pretty quickly.

Does PCGen run on the IPad!
Unfortunately without a Apple dev working with the project I doubt this would happen.
AFAIK the only tablet that can run PCGen is the Surface. It has to be able to run full Java.
Unfortunately iOS does not run Java at all and most likely never will. So it’s not just a business of having an iOS developer available. This would entail redoing the whole application from scratch for iOS.
Will have to look into this should I continue on with Starfinder.
You could always also look into it for Pathfinder! :)
I have full Herolab access. Why would I need that? :P
Cause we have better documentation to make your own data, classes, feats, abilities, & etc.? :)
I noticed that with my solarian I could not add the feat 'Heavy Armor Proficiency'. It said I did not have light armor proficiency.
Space goblin was the first thing i looked for,that and the Contemplative. I've been trying to figure out to add but no luck so far.

Yeah I just asked about this very thing for Pcgen in another thread. One of the reasons why HeroLab is a go for me was that they sold packs for the Pathfinder books pretty much already done.
20 years ago I would definitely be using PCgen and entering everything myself.
20 years ago I had more time on my hands. Now I'd rather pay someone else to do it.
BUT...
now that I've glanced at the documentation for PCgen and entering your own material? I may start using it for Starfinder unless the HLOnline can win me over (although that's unlikely).
Dang, no Space Goblin. I might have to actually put it in myself =/

Here's a video tutorial series that our main data monkey made.
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLa5A1qjBOPekqEC_R9BAZW-8q5IT-klM
Here's an online documentation (which also ships with each copy).
http://pcgen.org/autobuilds/pcgen-docs/index.html
If you look under List Files > List File Classes it explains all the files, and the List File Tag Index is a list of all known tags that is used in the data and examples of how to use it.
Is it possible in pcgen to load pathfinder elements with starfinder as well?
That is going to be challenging, because while the systems are close enough for the human mind to easily convert. From a programming standpoint they are mechanically very different.

And I sent you a PM with the above info since it was definitely off-topic for the HL thread.
I am trying to download but I keep getting the message that I need to look for an app to open things up.
All I am able to download is v. 60.06.01
All that the [armor or weapon] Proficiency feats do is grant proficiency. Ergo classes grant the pertinent feats for their proficiencies. This may not be RAW ... but it is stupid if it is. RAI should be considered here.

You probably can get away with putting this in your scr_races.lst file for the Space Goblin:
Just make sure the tabs are done right.

I've installed the files, but can't seem to find starfinder under sources to load. anyone know what i might be doing wrong? thanks
On the Select Sources window, follow the steps below:
1. Click on the Advanced Tab.2. Click on the down arrow on the 'Game' drop down menu and select Starfinder
3. Click the 'Add Selected' button
4. Click the 'Load' button
And, hopefully, you should be good to go...
All I am able to download is v. 60.06.01
Go down to development versions you need 6.07.03 to use the Starfinder data.
Once you have that installed, you install the Starfinder data set listed above. Just like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HY3jsMl3jo4&index=13&list=PLLa5A1qj BOPekqEC_R9BAZW-8q5IT-klM
Note: You have to restart PCGen after installing the data.
Thanks! Will try that when I get home
