AncientOne's Custom Pathfinder Sheet

Is the 5.0 building already on what you have, or is it a new brand spanking ground-up version?

Well, I'm early in the process, but I'm aiming for a completely new implementation... Gotta keep up with the latest browsers! Plus, some long-term browser bugs have finally been fixed in recent versions, so hopefully I can change some of the implementation to work the way I always wanted it to.

I'll still be supporting all the same features I have today, of course, but hopefully making it easier to add more features, styles, etc. I'll be asking for volunteers to help beta-test before I release it. Stay tuned!

LOL! Let's just say that it's a non-trivial exercise. ;)
 
A question for users of this custom sheet...

Are any of you actually using the "landscape" page orientation that this sheet supports?

(I suspect that it's getting little--or no--use, and I'm considering removing it in version 5.0. In its place, I would spend the development time working on support for other features and sheet styles that users have asked for.)
 
I have a couple of characters I used landscape for. I initially found it a better orientation for display on my tablet. Having said that I haven't used it for any of my new characters.
 
Like Xyzzy, I use landscape for a few of my characters but it's so infrequent that I wouldn't be heartbroken if I no longer had the option.
 
I don't use an electronic device at the table, so I'm still using the portrait orientation all the way.
That said, I could still see the usefulness if I was to be using a tablet. Maybe chalk it up for "future consideration"?

Also, is there a way of printing any situational modifiers to Saves and Attacks, etc? For example
dwarf +2 racial saves,
Scarred Witch Doctor +2 saves vs pain descriptor,
dwarf +1 attack vs goblinoids
dwarf +4 CMD vs Bull Rush, etc...
Printing them out in the associated areas is quite helpful.

Thanks AO.
 
I have a suggestion from our daughter, who very much is all about her pet on her druid, she loves when I print her character out with your sheet AncientOne, and requests that her pet print out like her druid does, with the same type sheet and image. :)
Thanks from Katie.

Hi Kemma (and Katie!)... you can do this right now. Just make the animal companion the current character in Hero Lab, and then do a Save Custom Output ("Current Hero Only"). It will save as a full character rather than as a minion.

There is one gotcha -- Hero Lab doesn't include the standard pathfinder-provided image for minions. However, you can manually add any image you want to the minion "character" in Hero Lab and that image will show up.

Now the statblock form of the minion will still show up on the main character sheet. You'll probably want to remove that -- you can remove it by going to the "Other Output Options" section of the sheet control panel, and un-selecting the "show minions" option.
 
Grey Screen of Death

Downloaded your most recent character sheet (25-Aug-2014) and recently created this character. Cannot find a way to avoid the gray screen of death.

See attached for the portfolio. Tried renaming the character various things but nothing has worked. Sheet is gray in Chrome, IE, and Firefox.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

Anyone else seeing in the most recent version of HeroLab the Spellbook section of the character sheet not working?
 
Never mind went to a different portfolio and it works fine... Something funny with my portfolio... Going to rebuild it and hope.
 
As per my previous posts, I'm having an issue getting the spell book in any useful output for this character. I'm stymied, and I spend an hour recreating the character just to see if it was something wrong with the original.

Could anyone familiar with the output process understand what is going on here?

I can troubleshoot it for you, but I'll need the XML file that Hero Lab generates instead of the portfolio file.

(You can create the XML file by using File->Save Custom Output->Generate XML File.)

It took a while, but I've confirmed that this is happening because Hero Lab has changed the way they output information for specialist wizards. (i.e., the problem didn't start with the latest sheet update, but rather with a Hero Lab update that happened around the same time).

This means that I'll need to change the sheet to match the new Hero Lab output in order to get spellbook output working for specialist wizards again.

I might make the fix to the v4.x series of the sheet, or I may just roll it into v5 -- I have to take a look at the options.
 
Thank you for a great sheet, AncientOne. It is amazing.

However, I now get the grey screen of death :( I just updated HeroLab to V6.1a and the grey screen just started showing up.

Here's the xml file for the portfolio. This happens in any browser, Win8.1
