Just wanted to let people know that Version 1.0.1 is out now, and that we've changed servers.  There weren't any major changes, except that now it uses lower-case code so it works on this forum.  Enjoy.

Nice, nice.  You'd still have to change the sizes, though.  Any other even semi-notable changes?

Pair o' Dice Lost

Mostly bugfixes, like stopping the Class Creator's power library from cutting off the Hit and Effect fields.  You can find an (almost) complete list of changes in the Changelog part of the site.

How do you get information from the DM's toolkit to show up in the forum? Thanks.

Generate the forum code, then simply copy and paste it.

For some reason when I right clikc on it the toolbar doesn't show up. Is there something else I have to do?

Just click in the text panel, select all (Ctrl+A), and copy (Ctrl+C).

Hmm...perhaps knowledge of keyboard shortcuts is not as prevalent as I'd thought.  Would it help if I implemented the right-click menu?

Yes, it would. Please do in the next edition, as it would make it much easier. Thanks for the tip, though.

Just as an idea: instead of making a context menu (screwing with the poor Mac users :P), perhaps you could make some sort of "assisstant" or "wizard" window, that gives hints to the possible actions and tips and pointers to the correct program usage.

Drizztrocks

What exactly do you do? What is the text panel and do I put parentheses? Sorry, i'm not very good with computers.

Drizztrocks

When is the next version coming out?

I believe it generally is, we just have an exception in our midst.

Sorry for my computer illiterisy. Or, judging on how I just spelled Iliterasy, i'm just plain illiterate.

In no particular order:

--Since a Mac version doesn't exist at the moment, I think I've reached a critical mass of screwing with them already. ;)

--A help menu would probably be a good idea.  Perhaps a "Using the Toolkit" popup the first time you open it....

--Exact instructions for Drizztrocks:

1) Move the mouse so the pointer is inside the box holding the text.
2) Click.
3) Hold the Control button and press A.
4) Keep holding the Control button and press C.
5) Paste it into the forum.

--Next version should be out in one to two weeks.  We've aimed for a patch release every two weeks (bug fixes and such), and are aiming for 4 October for the next one, but since I'm finishing up the Monster Creator for that version (1.2.0), it might take just a bit longer.
