Is there anyone out there who needs spanish translation of Rolemaster Office?
I've found the spanish version of J. Dales powerful Excel file in the ICE vault. I think, I could localize Rolemaster Office with that for spanish users.

Very nice work. I'm having a play around with it.

I can't get this thing to work.  Does it track when you make changes?  It is stuck on [System] Assign the height/weight (which I have done) assign hobby ranks (where are they) couldn't find background options.  It won't get past this.  I click done and it won't move on.


Don't get me wrong this is a great tool and would love to use it, just need a little insight.

The Hobby ranks you assign manually, also the Background options..  There's no actual dropdown menus or anything to do it..
You just assign, then select that reminder and press done and it should disappear.

When you actually start spending dev points, you go into edit mode (there's a button on the first tab to do this).

RMO is not a wizard or dialog-driven tool. Its a free and flexible tool. But I know that many users have some problems with these ToDos first time.
I have big plans for a re-release of RMO (see Google+ news) where many things will be much better (and I will replace the ToDos by a better system).

For now, just do what the ToDo says  "Distribute language: 6" means go into skill tab an distribute 6 ranks.

Currently I'm (still) working on talent and flaws which is a big thing.

Thanks for your feedback. There is only an insufficient number of users that gives me feedback, so I have to guess what to change ...

[danskmacabre]

I'll start sending you feedback as I'll be using this soonish.
Would you prefer feedback via the forum or email?

[Magistrate]

Great 
E-Mail is the best way for me ... but forum or bug tracker is good, too (use, what is you like)
