This is a super fast update to change v13.0.0beta7 into v13.0.0beta8 and thus I didn't make a separate post.
It seems I made a tiny mistake in the function that regulates updating level in v13.0.0beta7 that caused almost everything to go wrong. Although the issue was small, its impact was big, 2018-12-24 11:59:52 +0000 UTC View Post
Beta5 introduced a lot of changes compared to beta4 and some of those changes resulted in a lot of bugs: whole subclasses not working, Warlock invocations causing issues, and spells gained from racial features overwriting each other. I fully understand if most people didn't dare test beta5 further after the first couple of issues reared their ugly head, as the sheet became mostly unusable because of it.
So let me present you with 2018-11-06 11:23:13 +0000 UTC View Post
It has been a long wait, but the fifth beta of version 13 is now finally available!
This beta introduces a rewrite of many basic functions of the sheet. I have gone back to restructure the way changing levels works, how subclasses are selected, how armour, weapon and skill proficiencies are loaded, and how the attributes of background, race, racial features, feats, classes, and class featur...
As promised last week, an update about version 13. Or wait, that was already two weeks ago that I promised an update… well, better late than never I guess.
It will come as no surprise that version 13 is not yet finished. Unfortunately, I also don’t have a v13.0.0beta5 for you yet. The changes I have planned for beta5 are substantial and testing the features is taking more time than I had hoped. Releasing a beta that won't even open is not really useful ;)
I would also like to apologi...
2018-09-12 16:00:14 +0000 UTC View PostNo update about v13 yet, but there will be one next week (hopefully with a new beta). In the meantime, I'm making a change to how payments work for my Patreon that I would like all of you to be aware of.
I'm going to be switching to Patreon's new "Charge Upfront" method of payment as per today. This affects how Patreon handles new pledges and how it is handled when you change your pledge amount. Let me explain some of the differences so that it is clear for everybody.

2018-05-23 19:30:01 +0000 UTC View PostFor those of you interested, I just updated the script for the Gunslinger martial archetype to v1.3. Matthew Mercer posted a revision to his subclass design a couple a weeks ago on DMs Guild (which you can find here). I have now updated the code that I had written for v1.2 of the Gunslinger to coincide with the new changes.
My apologies for the lack of updates on the progress of v13. I have found out that there are some very basic things going wrong with the sheet, namely the order in which the fields are being calculated. In order to fix this, I'm re-indexing all the fields to see what calculates what and in what order everything *should* be in. This is boring work, and thus not progressing as fast...

It has been a long journey, but after almost 3 months, v12.999 is here with its all new import functionality, support for all the latest D&D 5e content, and many, many bugfixes. See the list of changes at the bottom of this post.
As some things have been changed from the ground up, and my time to test everything is limited, you can certainly expect some things to not work perfectly. Please let me know if you find any bugs in the sheets!

I haven't been able to make short work of getting a website up and running. There is still very much left to do on that, and it is a slow process learning the basics of web-design and applying that to making a functioning website.
Meanwhile, I have been working on making a new version of the sheet. I have now processed all the bug reports from the last two months and created some better support for importing. It will allow more dynamic addition of things, (mostly) remedying any conflicts.

It has been almost two full month without any updates, another first in the life of MPMBs Character Sheets, but unfortunately not a positive one.

Many helpful people reported on big and small bugs in the sheet and this version tries to combat them.
People who have access to the shared Dropbox/Google Drive folder might have seen version 12.996 come available without me posting anything about it. Now there is an even newer version, but it differs only with regards to the last two points on the list below.
As you might have noticed, I haven't been responding to messages nor have I been working on the sheet for the past two weeks. This is because I was busy moving to another country and things like an internet connection don't appear magically, unfortunately.
