I've installed the files, but can't seem to find starfinder under sources to load. anyone know what i might be doing wrong? thanksOn 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' buttonAnd, hopefully, you should be good to go...
After I loaded in the zip, I had to close and restart PCGen to get the Starfinder source to show up.
Things I noticed:
The +4 initiative for a blitz soldier isn't adding in.
The HP/SP added for each level is a little strange, it always says 1 even when you are clearly getting the proper amounts.
Weight and encumbrance aren't working on Starfinder rules, I hope this is planned to be fixed.
It would be nice to have the armor upgrades given their own section in the inventory rather than only available for customizing the item, because RAW you are able to take these upgrades off armor and don't always have be using them.
I am really looking forward to this tool. Thanks!
Has anyone made pcgen save files for the iconic pregens they'd like to share?
When trying to create a PC, I'm a little confuzzled about tracking Ability Score points. The points start at 0 instead of 10. Probably a minor thing, but it is somewhat less intuitive when it comes to how many points you have to spend.
It's an Alpha, of course, so working out kinks is the point of the exercise.
No Space Goblins? That's a bummer.
Thanks for all the great work!
One minor bug
For Operatives - Operative's Edge
- Adds correctly to Initiative
- Is not adding to skill checks. My expectation is it should add to all skills (Class or not class) EXCEPT for those with Skill Focus (Insight bonus) and Skill Synergy (Insight bonus)
- I am not 100% on how it exactly should apply, so you probably want to double check the rules
Possibly Silly Question, but is there an easy way to know where to put the data folders? I haven't used PCGen in a queen's age.hmm i installed the starfinder data files it says there there but starfinder is not showing up in the app?
when through loading source but it was not in the list ..hmmm
Try the following
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

reboot PCGen, then it shows up. That's what happened for me anyway.
I tried that and nothing. :(
Still not seeing the operative edge insight bonus to skills being added. Is there a toggle or a box I need to check to get this?
Version 1.06 is out - which fixes that issue:

Ok, then the problem is with my understanding.
For example, If I have an Operative with a Dex:16 and one skill rank in acrobatics, what should my skill modifier be?
I thought: +1 (rank) +3 (dex) +3 (class skill) +1 (operative edge) = +8
PcGen V1.06 gives me a skill modifier of +7
You are right, you should be getting a +8 bonus. I've just tried this myself and I am getting the +8. See screenshot. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByA87Lxq4qA_RnFGVVVTa29XVGM/view?usp=shari ng
It could be that an armor penalty is being applied.
This is kind of a troubleshooting issue for the program as a whole, but I'm seeing the text in a REALLY tiny size. Is there an easy way to fix that?
You have a 4k monitor I bet. :)
Right-click on the "pcgen" app, selecting "Properties," then the "Compatibility" tab. Then I checked "Override high DPI scaling behavior..." and selected "System" in the drop-down menu
Everything for PCGen (except characters which is default saved to a users folder) is contained under the root PCGen folder.
Go ahead and submit a bug tracker and attach the pcg char file for testing.

I had built my lashunta mystic in an older version (either 1.01 or 1.02), and everything looked correct. When I upgraded the data to 1.06, it required me to remove the connection, and is not letting me put a new one in. It looks like in fixing a problem somewhere else, this new problem was created.
Unfortunately, this thread is the only reasonable way for me to provide this information, because I refuse as a matter of principle to use Facebook or Yahoo groups, and I don't like to sign up for accounts all over the internet.
Also, thank you to everyone who worked to make this available so promptly.
It's also expected that older characters will be breaking all over the place as the data changes during the alpha phase. :)
Does it work with making the character from scratch?

Will the races that are not in the Core Rule Book be added? Like the ones in First Contact?
That's the plan - once everything in the Core Rule Book is working.
In case anyone missed it.
