What's New
- Many Talents and Force Powers have been implemented so that you can tap on an item in the Talent list in order to use them. For fully implemented powers, the App provides a checklist of items that effect your dice pool. If an item fits the situation you can select it to build your dice pool. The cost of using powers in terms of Maneuvres, Strain, etc. is indicated and applied when you close the checklist dialog.
- Datapad now holds multiple characters in memory so that switching between characters can be done quickly. The program stores the last 3 characters and the last 5 NPCs loaded.
- Added SWCharGen 2.2 base data.
- Fixed bugs which cause the incorrect display of characters that include NPC data. Previously NPC information was mixed with the PC data, however Datapad cannot also display the included NPC, instead, these need to be stored in separated files and uploaded individually to the App.
- The problem with displaying custom build items have been fixed, although this has not been extensively tested. So, let me know in the forum if you have something that does not work!
- Some work has been done to improve the handling of committing force dice. If you "over-commit" this is indicated by a force dice symbol with a red dash. When all force dice are committed, the restricted symbol in the dice pool is used to indicated that Force Powers cannot be used.
App Description
Fringer's Datapad is an electronic character sheet for a series of role-playing games for the Star Wars universe by Fantasy Flight Games (FFG). The RPG's include "Edge of the Empire", "Age of Rebellion" and "Force and Destiny". Since these games all use the same core mechanics, Fringer's Datapad can be used with them all.
The App is not a character generator, but instead imports the character sheet information produced by "Oggdude's Star Wars Character Generator" (https://community.fantasyflightgames.com/topic/89135-another-character-generator/). Once you have created a character using Oggdude's program, you can export the data as an XML file, and upload the file to the Datapad companion web-site: http://fringer.space.
Create a personal account on the web-site, where you can store the data of number of characters. Once this is done, enter your account credentials (email and password) in Datapad, and the App will automatically transfer the data to your iPad.
You can also create custom "Data Sets" with the Oggdude's SW Data Editor in order to add additional information about Talents, Weapons, Armor and other gear to your character sheet. This information can be exported as a ZIP file, and transferred to Datapad via the fringer.space web-site.
Fringer's Datapad stores character specific data in a .xpad file. A backup of this file is made on the fringer.space web-site, whenever you press "Sync with Server" to transfer data to and from the App.
