Shoruke's D&D 3.5 character generator open Alpha v0.6
« on: April 06, 2012, 10:16:26 am »
Well everyone, it's the end of another semester of school, and all of the class projects are due soon.
Naturally, this includes the character generator for Dungeons And Dragons v3.5 that I'm writing. By myself. In notepad++.

It's still in development as of writing, but I thought I'd share it with you guys as I write it.
Since I'm not hosting it on a server, you'll have to copy the code into notepad (or whatever text editor you like), save it as FileName.html somewhere on your computer, open your internet browser, and use Open File to open the webpage. Or, for the lazy, use ctrl+o to open the webpage.

P.S.
People who tell me about bugs are nice people. HTML and Javascript don't have compilers or run-time errors, so things that break just kinda... quietly do nothing.

Current Progress:
You can point-buy, or roll your character's attributes.
After that, it'll ask you about your race and some cosmetic things... attribute adjustments, hair colour, age, etc. It also has a bunch of text boxes so you can add a bunch of other things to your Feats and Special Abilities section, like for instance the Dwarves' Stonecunning.
After that, it wants you to start defining the classes you'll be taking levels in... sounds strange, BUT might just end up being extremely streamlined some day.
There's also currently a button that hangs out at the bottom of the webpage, and the world's most uselessly large textbox. Click the button, and it turns your character sheet into xml (in the textbox). So, you copy/paste that, go to your Mythweavers Sheets page, hit upload, and BOOM! You now have a rather poor sheet. BUT SO HELP ME GOD IT WILL UPLOAD

Version 0.6 Alpha

I'll try it out when I get home.

This project sounds like it'd be a fun thing to do if it weren't in HTML :P Good luck!

Well, it wouldn't be "web programming" if I made a standalone application in C#... which come to think of it would be a lot easier.

At least I'll be able to host this on a server some day, if I ever decide it's worth the trouble.

Does programming in Java and putting it into a web applet count? xD

I hit the 1,000 line landmark!
Apparently this causes posts to exceed the 40,000 character limit.  :P
So now I'm using FileFactory, which is kinda lame. Here's the download link: http://www.filefactory.com/file/3cbiwk3u44nl/n/CharGenerator_html
If anyone knows of a free file-hosting service that doesn't suck, or need captchas, or "wait 30 seconds for your 43kb download", and definitely doesn't ask me for my credit card information to host a file, by all means let me know...
Scratch that, DropBox to the rescue:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14534181/CharGenerator.html

The button at the end of the Racial Stuff section doesn't do anything yet.

Looks good so far.

I'll reserve comments until it's all done :3

Tried it. Seems all well and in order, from my almost-none experience in coding.

I think that maybe I've picked a weird way to build character sheets.
OH WELL
ROLL WITH IT
Version 0.3 is out

Basically, you pick your classes, define them... and THEN when you're done telling it what classes you're going to take, you start actually taking them. One at a time.
Whew. This is gonna be a long haul... 1,604 lines of code and counting.

I think I'll try this out later, but I somehow think this should be under Creative Projects. This is definitely not a forum game or roleplaying.

Hmm, I thought it would go here because it's used for Roleplaying games... hadn't occurred to me to put it in Creative Projects  :-\

I made it output some XML, and then I made uploaded a sheet to Mythweavers! It knows my stats and stuff!
 :D
Now I just need to make it upload a sheet that isn't crap...
And also one that doesn't confuse "modify stat by X" with "append X onto stat". It thought I had 122 dex, when I tried to specify that I had 12 dex after point buy and a +2 racial modifier...

I'd love to see it mess up with the Petal racial modifiers. 18 Base + 10 Modifier = 1810 Dex. 8)

Best rogue ever. Sneak attack everything, and hide in plain sight. That would be a +916 modifier to hide if you account for the size. :P

Okay, I fixed that bug... just had to run parseInt() a bunch of times.

EDIT: I also got rid of the list of in-class skills for every class... If this project ever ends up being a big thing, something similar might happen one day, but for now, I'm getting rid of it so that when I look in the mirror I don't see a puppy-kicker. That was just too much text to dump onto myself all at once.

I ran though to the end of character creation and it didn't show the button.

Just read through your code. For whatever reason the Export to XML button is missing. Isn't that button code suppose to be with the section above it?
