d20 Release 1.4 Testing and Intergration...

[ShadowChemosh]

Just got given two new PrC's and I put them into the 1.4 dropbox folder. They are CDiv - Temple Raider of Olidammara.user and CMag - Ultimate Magus.user.

Did a quick look at them and the classes are their with the bootstraps and text information but they are missing Sources and any scripts. So at least its a nice shell. If anyone gets board they could complete them.

What files did you remove? From the dropbox or your own system?

This clashes with the xImmConfus located in the MM - Immunity Special.user file.

I've renamed the reference from the Ros - Races file to xImmConfu2 and amended the MM - Immuntiy Special v1.4 file to replace the unique id in the RoS file.

Both files have been uploaded into the 1.4 Dropbox folder.

We are not using the Replace ID ability in the Core data set. That needs to be left to the community as you can only have one replace.

I renamed the Immunity Special from MM - Immunity Special v1.4user to MM - Immunity Special.user Many of the files Lawful_G dropped in need to still be renamed and merged together as their are multiple same files in the dropbox now.

So not that close yet for integration testing.

Any file prefixed with Demon - ????? apart from the MM - Demons.user file and it was from my own system not dropbox.

Yep that is the preferred method. So we should have one spell then that uses the info from the latest book.

Also if we can keep editor information to these forums as the User Content Bug Thread was suppose to be used ONLY for the community to report bugs to us. Its pretty trashed now with dozens of post that have nothing to do with the community.

I am going to ask LW to get us a new one with relase 1.4 and if we can keep it for just the community to use and not the editors that would be great.

That would make it simpler, although I edit files I also class myself as a user, so I naturally add bug reports to the bug thread!

I'll try and compile a list of duplicate spells from all sources, remove and tag them to the spell compendium if I get some spare time.

Ahh I see then. As an editor you have a much greater grasp of the data set then the end-users do. I was hoping to keep the bug reports from the public to be more generic like a feat does not work or a weapon is marked for the wrong damage.

Otherwise we could intimidate a person into not posting as they think its a bug report for the editors and not the general public using the data set.

Or at least that is my thought anyways.

Oh yea I am freezing 1.4 now as I am getting ready to roll it out.

Going through the last bit of testing of the .hl file now to make sure it imports correctly for those with 1.3 release and those with just d20.

If all goes well I will get with Cheifweasel tonight to upload to his site.

Thanks again to everyone that did work on this release.

Will try and post bug reports only to Bug thread, and post onto the release thread if I resolve the bug personally to keep the Bug reports tidy from henceforth!

1.4 is done and released to the community.

Thanks for all the hard work again. I know myself and the community is very appreciative.

Now get your butts working on 1.5.....
