NEW FEATURE "Auto Backup and Revert": (Requested by MrEkshin)
An Auto-backup feature to recover accidental file changes has been added. It works as follows:
Opening any existing file will create a file in the same location with the same name with ".backup" appended.
This file will be auto deleted if you
A: Close the software or
B: Save the current file under a new name
(which will also create a new auto .backup file using the new name and the setup at the time of save).
C: Opening any other file will remove any existing .backup file. (One for the new file is created)

Selecting the "Revert to Backup" option in the File menu and saying "YES" will throw away
the current document and reload the .backup version of the file, which would NOT contain
any changes made and saved to the original filename. Its up to YOU to then save the recovered
data at that point!

The Revert option is disabled for any new document until you have done an actual save operation.

DPS METER DEVELOPMENT
---Basic tooltips will now show (Further enhancement required)
---You can now delete an Attack Chain

Using 2.0.0.54:

• the Primal Scream stance is currently confgured as a Mantle stance and not a User stance, so cannot be toggled on alongside any Mantle, e.g. Mantle of Fury.
• the active part of the Past Life: Primal Sphere: Ancient Power stance is showing under Inactive Items when toggled on in both the Attack Bonus and Damage Bonus sections for a Weapon. (The requirement for each should be Stance Ancient Power and not Stance AncientPower)
• there are two entries for the Legendary University Bulwark's Reinforced Shirt in the Item Selection and Configuration window. (One has a typo and has Bulwark's spelt as Bulkwark's)
• the following items have an item effect listed as Resistance Natural Armor +X, instead of Natural Armor +X:
  • Legendary University Sentry's Helm
  • Fang of Xyzzy
  • Shroud of the Abbot
  • Seal of the Earth
  • Epic Seal of the Earth
  • Legendary Seal of the Earth
  • Mythic Vim and Vigor
  • Legendary Greenpine Gaunlets
  • Legendary Gorgon Armor
  • Gorgon Armor
  • Epic Chimera's Crown
  • Legendary Chimera's Crown
  • Guardian's Locket (Level 26)
• the item Legendary Stinkpelt's Hide has the Cloudkill item effect listed twice.

Appreciate the update when I wanna build around new monk stuff!
Great work

 

[Kalibano]

Primal Avatar's core 1 (I have only tested Thorn) is meant to grant Magical Training and allow points to be spent in the Feydark Illusionist tree.
However, it is not allowing points to be spent in Feydark Illusionist (at least not in this build of mine).

I tried resetting and re-spending the PA action points, but no change.
I also tested swapping PA for Draconic Incarnation and spending 1 point in core 1, and the Feydark Illusionist tree became available to spend points on.

Hi,
None of the Acolyte of Skin enhancements are added to the breakdown:




Great builder btw, I really like it.

 

[Broken Old Monk]

Does it include all up to date current archetypes and iconics?

 

[DrinkGrog]

The builder is really great and the new features coming in V2 are making it even better than before. Thanks for all the work and effort!

General question for everyone. How do you use the builder to record gear swap items? Such as switching weapons for certain spells, etc? Right now I duplicate the gear set, give it a different name like "weapon swap" and then change the items. Not sure if there is a better/easier way?

The other thing I was wondering about was if it would be possible to add some features to the gear planner that are similar to what a former stand alone gear planner program called DDONamedGearPlanner by Pfhoenix used to publish? The two features I miss from this program the most were:

A view that highlighted overlapping stats that a gear set had.
A view that directly compared two gear sets side by side.

You can kind of get the latter by swapping gear sets back and forth and looking at the breakdowns display but it can still be difficult to recognize all of the changes. Maybe there's some other views or confirmation in the current DDOBuilder that I'm not aware of?

Thanks!

Thanks, Maetrim, as always for all your work creating an awesome app!

Just noticed a minor error in V2.0.0.55: In the enhancement tree for the iconic Aasimar Scourge, the tier-2 enhancement 'Arcanum' costs 1 point per level in the builder, but in-game, the enhancement costs 2 points per level.

Hopefully that's a relatively easy fix.

Thanks again.

Question: Are there any plans to have an "importing" feature to be able to utilize the saved char files from DDO v1 ?

Edit: NM, i see it now... Need MORE caffeine !
