I've updated a few times but I still don't have my PHB. Is there a time I should be waiting for?

EDIT: It's out.

The reason there is a TEST is so that you can do this before it drops into LIVE. Then you just switch your tested and verified FORGE delivery from TEST to LIVE. Plus you can report on other things you might be dependent on there before it drops on general populous.

Its more for the helper portion which runs separately, the extension works as its only doing character and combat tracker exporting. I need the finalized xml database.

Out of curiosity, how would the finalized xml database not be the one that was created in TEST? (same for 2024 sheets as you can simply set them to 2024 as I understand it)

Because as far as I know we didnt have 2024 rules. if we did, then we did, but I wasn't aware of it.

Unless you are talking about needing raw data from 2024 PHB - the rules are there and coded in with any support from the XML schema. Else not much point in having a TEST system. As I understand it anyway.

Eh I was making that decision also based on the previous version had different data exported based upon if you had just created a character, and not opened the character sheet in the UI, and what it looked like after, so I assumed I wouldn't be able to make characters especially the odd ones like warlock and monk that behave just a bit differently.

But regardless, I had css and web page stuff to do first, which I only got done with a few days ago, so its all a wash regardless.
