Agreed. I literally JUST found this app two days ago, and I already love it. I'm gonna donate too - how much are cups of coffee where you live Maasq?

Update: A good night's sleep helped. I have beaten harder than this in this journey; I'll beat this too. I've started looking at the file system from the bottom up. Thanks for the messages of support, it means a lot.

@theogeek - No idea; it is a turn of phrase Tempted to say $1000 though hahaha Anything is appreciated!

They don't drink coffee where Maasq lives. But they do consume a fair bit of Irn Bru

How about the price of a nice Black & Tan?

A Jack Daniels and diet pepsi, no ice

Keep going on. You'll beat it.

Hey folks!

Another update, this time with the file handling fixed (I hope). There are lots of other bug fixes too. Full changelog on the website, along with the latest version.

I am intending rolling 'Spell engineer' into NPC Engineer as a module. This will be my focus over the next few days, along with implementing a slightly different way of showing output - a 2 pane view. This will allow me some benefits - firstly, I can get my pretty HTML displayed in the program, and secondly I can use the same output window for each module. There are a couple of drawbacks (aren't there always) - the controls to minimise the application sit in the centre of the menu bar overall (see image - it is a mock up so ignore the blankness), and the status bar will get halved. I need to find a solution for the status bar problem.

Hopefully it isn't horrible, as the freedom it will allow me going forward makes a huge difference to me.

Cheers all

Updated to the latest version and it works so much better! Some of the PDF's I used were not formatted well at all, and NPC Engineer still handled 95% of it correctly! Small things like not recognizing the difference between Language or Languages, sometimes spellcasting would format weird due to placements of . : + and what not. But all of that still made my life so much easier creating a whole .mod of NPC's. Thank you so much for continuing your work on this. Will try the spell option next. Can't wait for items and feats!

Thank you for the feedback! The 'language/languages' thing I will fix right now. The spellcasting formatting can be difficult - as you've found, different publishers are not as stringent about their style guide as WotC and the Smiteworks team. If there's anything that you see over and over, and would like an input translator for, grab me on Discord and I can run one up.
