Hello, there ERA crowd,
First of all, I'd like to say "Thank You" for a wonderful program. It is fantastic and helps with RM character generation quite immeasurably.
Now, I have a question regarding characters. I and my GM, who lives in another (frozen) part of the world, both have the latest version of ERA. I have created a character on my installed instance, and have made it available for download via a shared folder.
However, when my GM attempts to open the file, he gets an error. Specifically:
MessageNotUnderstood: NullResistanceRollBonus>> #specialBonus:
So, he can't open the character up.
What are we doing wrong? Same version, same available "books" installed.
Any help would be appreciated. =)
I just had the same thing happen and I discovered it has to with the way the Mac formats the Resistances, it puts the tag short cut "/>" at the end for example:
<resistances>
<resistance concept="Mentalism" specialBonus="0" />
<resistance concept="Channeling" specialBonus="0" />
<resistance concept="Essence" specialBonus="0" />
<resistance concept="Psychic Power" specialBonus="0" />
<resistance concept="Poison" specialBonus="0" />
<resistance concept="Disease" specialBonus="0" />
<resistance concept="Physical" specialBonus="0" />
<resistance concept="Fear" specialBonus="0" />
</resistances>
Under windows it is expecting this:
<resistances><resistance concept="Mentalism" specialBonus="0"></resistance>
<resistance concept="Channeling" specialBonus="0"></resistance>
<resistance concept="Essence" specialBonus="0"></resistance>
<resistance concept="Poison" specialBonus="0"></resistance>
<resistance concept="Disease" specialBonus="0"></resistance>
<resistance concept="Physical" specialBonus="0"></resistance>
<resistance concept="Fear" specialBonus="0"></resistance>
</resistances>
So if you open up the xml file manually in a text editor and change this portion it should load.
