Character Builder


Recommended Posts

I know there's already a character builder on the net-7 portal, but it doesn't allow saving any builds or comparing multiple toons to compliment each other while boxing. So while I was bored today I created this. It currently shows my builds, but I haven't locked anything on it if anyone is interested in it.

Updated it a little bit:

Made more navigable (is that a word?)
Added eye candy
Made more presentable, added a few polishing touches.
Changed from macro enabled excel to regular excel since macros aren't needed.

edit 3/14/2011
Added JS Reactor Optimization
Verified Skills for Terrans and JD
converted to .ods for use with openoffice

edit 3/17/2011
updated TS skills tree
no afterburn or null factor shield skills visible in game.

edit 4/10/2011
Added a required level to attain skill level column to Progen Warrior
I'll try to add the same to the rest of the classes 1 per day as time permits.

edit 4/23/2011
So with this update we have the required level column associated with skill rank for the following classes;
Progen Privateer
Terran Enforcer
Terran Trader
Terran Scout
Jenquai Seeker
Jenquai Explorer

I just realized I didn't account for minimum starting level to take the skill unlock missions. I'll take care of that in the morning.

edit 5/7/2011
fixed the levels for alternate weapon skills to match what is currently in game. Edited by Strayslayer

I'll take a look.

Curious what file types are you allowed? .ZIP / .TXT? Could just try renaming it and making note to downloaders to change I suppose (again Im not sure rules thats some other folks dept. to way in). But I'll gladly take a look at it if you wanna send to my email. Shoot me a PM if so and I'll give you it.

That's odd. .xlsx and .xls should both be allowed, as well as .zip, .rar, .doc, .docx, and a bunch of others. What's the file extension you're trying to upload?

CDel what he sent me was an .XLSM formatted file so that might be why?

Ah, yep. I've added that to the allowed extension list, so either of you should be able to upload it to the thread now.

while at it, not sure it has been done, but please add these too:

After spending two and a half hours knee-deep in the EnB client, laziness strikes me. Put them in this format and I'll do it:

nice work stray.
i was meaning to do something like this (did as text file to begin with), so i guess instead of starting from scratch, ill use your spreadsheet.

my text file is here too

by the way, the free office suites:
[url="http://www.libreoffice.org/"]LibreOffice[/url]
[url="http://www.openoffice.org/"]OpenOffice[/url]

LibreOffice is meant to replace OpenOffice, because Sun, the developer and owner of OpenOffice, was acquired by Oracle, and chaos issued - so the original developers left and formed a new team and new name, with the same code.
likewise, the same happened with MySQL, which generated MariaDB.
Java and PostgreSQL were also affected in their own ways.

Updated it a little bit:

Made more navigable (is that a word?)
Added eye candy
Made more presentable, added a few polishing touches.
Changed from macro enabled excel to regular excel since macros aren't needed.

Hope you enjoy.

I'll also be starting on a build list including ores, refined, components and everything needed in order to do a full build of the device. and let you click a box so you can see what you can build and on who. That's a bit more of an undertaking, so as soon as I have a partial working draft going for level 9 builds I'll post it for more input.

Last Edit I swear. I would still like descriptions of each activated and passive ability so I can create a tooltip that pops up when the mouse is hovered. And also, I don't have much time today on my lunch, has there been a completed ores list posted somewhere that I can plagiarize for my uses? Edited by Strayslayer

On the JT you're missing her Reactor Optimization skill. Currently she also gets L9 Engine, L8 Device. Otherwise it looks just fine.
[/quote]

I forgot what is currently in game, isn't on the net-7 character planner. JE's just got a new skill similar to menace as well. Looks like I'll have to change my spec around some to accomodate.

I'll update the spreadsheet and repost it tomorrow morning when I'm able to get in-game and check out the JT and JE. I moved it up to my initial post. as well. Edited by Strayslayer

Wait. What's this thread about? Whoops... I have no idea how I got on that rant. Uh, neat-looking character sheet btw. :)

Haha, thanks, I was about to push this thread back that direction myself. I browse arstechnica.com when I want to think about more geekly pursuits.

Thanks for all the info on Macs, linux and unix, but please keep the discussion to character skills so I can update my spreadsheet accordingly. I find it handy at least and thought I would share it.

As far as the update to it, that will have to wait until tonight when I have the time to edit and post it. I woke up late this morning.

If anyone knows of any other classes that need updating, please let me know, especially PS, TE and JD since I don't currently have one of those.

BTW, I found an ores list, the other spreadsheet has been turned into an access database, by the time I'm done with it you should be able to
1) Create a character
2) Choose his/her class
3) Choose their build skills
4) Choose from a list of possible builds
5) See all build components needed from unrefined ores to components to final build
6) Select which final builds you have scanned to make for a quick reference guide while in-game.

Let me know if there is anything else you would like implemented while I'm still designing it. I haven't decided on a final format so the end-state is still fluid. Edited by Strayslayer

check my text file for TS, TE and TT skills.
those were taken from the enb planners and then modified to correlate to what is in-game at the moment.

i don't have progen or jenquai characters yet to check the rest.

nice work :D

suggestion, add the max level description or a limit the fields to a range of levels, as noted on the character builders / my document.
[/quote]

I can add a max level description somewhere to it this weekend. The level limits are already in place though and the # of skill points used is determined by what you choose for the level already.
