Topic: Character Generator

[giulio.trimarco]

Hi folks!

I've found on the net an old RMSS Character Generation program.

Now I like, as a GM, these types of softwares.

I was curious to know if someone will like the idea of a multi-platform CharGen compatible with all RM based system (RM2/RMSS/RMFRP/RMC/RMX).

I don't know if there is already software like this one.

In case someone is interested in this project?

Technical Infos:

Operating Systems: Windows, Linux, Mac
Development language: C++ or Java (I don't like it very much ) or Mono
All character and rules will be stored in a DB: MySQL

What would be even cooler would be a web-based solution, I think. 

PHP & mySQL

If ICE will give us sufficient web space ... why not?

In addition an open DB could allow users to integrate new professions/races/talents/flaws/equipment/etc.

If you are wanting to try to develop such, I will set you up with a sub-domain and a DB on my personal website (ICE's current host makes such difficult - at least for now) that you can use for development purposes..

Thanks Rasyr,

interesting trying developing such a beast.

I'd like to found some help though, since I've little time and dimension of the project.

[Rasyr-Mjolnir]

Well, I will get you an empty DB and a sub-domain setup this evening and send you a PM with the details you will need (i.e. DB connection info, ftp login, etc..).

Then you, and whomever you get to help you can go forward from there...

Rasyr,

thanks! I hope to find someone to help me  :'(!

You put too much faith in me

[Rasyr-Mjolnir]

If it doesn't pan out... no big problem. Nothing lost but a little time....

I would suggest, however, starting with something like doing an XML schema for a RM character (start with RMC, would be my suggestion), and then use that to do initial DB design, and then branch out from there...

See if you can conscript Vroomfogle, he is pretty good at XML stuff, IIRC.....

Sounds like a great idea. Good luck with it and please keep us posted about any progress
