Brother Gerron: Thanks for the feedback. This is exactly what I needed. It's too easy to make simple mistakes when you're spending so time on something and are so close to it. Always need a second pair of eyes (or a third...)

Will look into all the issues and see if I can't get them all resolved for next release.

what help do you need i can help you out.

It would be Very KEWL if there were an online version like the one Wizards of the Coast has for D&D 4th Ed.  It would just be simpler and then hit the prit button and you are ready for your game.  Of course here isn't an equivalent for registered leagues and character stats by comparison, yet.

i tried using the latest version you had posted and kept it in the excel format, however i am trying to use it via Open Office and it doesnt seem to work with that.  I guess I will have to put office on here and then try it again.

Is there a way to get the deeds from ROB? I know this is already mentioned but concealment should be trained from the start.

Sorry for the quiet time... been away for a couple of weeks.

New version is available - DW_Character_Sheet_Generator_v02_20110504

Now have Advanced Specialties in and Skill/Talent Groups are chosen slightly differently.

Have the ability to add new Skill/Talent Groups.

Fixed some of the issues mentioned by Brother Gerron and Tunnelhckrat.

Will be adding a Show/Hide Advances that you do not meet prerequisites.

Still need to add Deeds, Distinctions, and Honours.

After that it's bug fixes and improved functionality.

tlavalle - do you know MS Excel 97-2003 and VBA? Happy to share an unprotected version if you want to have a look at the code and offer suggestions. Note that the code is changing all the time as I try to improve the sheet.

Would like to hear ideas of what additional information could be present on sheet. At present, it is formatted to replicate official sheet, but there are elements missing like Special Abilities, RoB content. Although the Generator allows you to pick these things, they are not presented on the sheet.

first of all...good job...

corvus armor has only one history (nor 2?)

i want to remove my jumppack.....in wich way?

if i take it from the equipment....the checkbox was ok but now I have two jump pack???

:)

New version available - DW_Character_Sheet_Generator_v02_20110505

Fixed:

• Dark Angels Advance - Interrogation +10 (no longer ignores)
• Dark Angels Advance - Talented (Pilot) (no longer ...Pilot (Personal)
• Deathwatch Advance - Hunter of Aliens (now listed as Talent)
• Lore: Scholastic (now spelled correctly)
• Concealment (now given as starting skill)
• Movement  (now adds 1 to base, but needs to improved to be removed if not wearing Power Armour)
• Mysterious +10 BS (think this was coded in Ultramarines, now removed)
• Strength +2 (this is added, but needs to improved to be removed if not wearing Power Armour)
• Lore: Forbidden (Adeptus Astartes) (couldn't replicate issue so assuming fixed)
• Lore: Scholastic (Codex Astartes) (no longer an Elite Advance)

Oustanding:

• Ciphers (Chapter Runes) to show actual Chapter - this would an improvement and so will keep on 'wish list'
• Negative modifiers to skills on front sheet - this would also be an improvement and not sure what would be best way to display (happy for suggestions)

New:

• Multiple Power Armour Histories
• Can only equip 1 suite of armour
• Can only equip 1 helmet

Coming soon:

• Improved Strength and Movement calculation to account for not wearing Power Armour
• Deeds

Gantz - to remove equipment double-click on the right-hand equipment list.

Someone earlier mentioned Java rather than Excel, so I am now starting to learn Java and I intend to create a character generator as my learning project. Wish me luck...
