CharTool 1 build 13 won't work with D20 3.5

Post by Jim McNett »

Hi,

I am new to MapTool and CharTool. When I try to run CharTool with the 3.5 game option I get a java IllegalStateExcption error. Are there any builds of the CharTool that work with D20 3.5 edition?

Download or webstart? If webstart, try the download.
I save all my Campaign Files to DropBox. Not only can I access a campaign file from pretty much any OS that will run Maptool(Win,OSX, linux), but each file is versioned, so if something goes crazy wild, I can always roll back to a previous version of the same file.

Get your Dropbox 2GB via my referral link, and as a bonus, I get an extra 250 MB of space. Even if you don't don't use my link, I still enthusiastically recommend Dropbox..

I get the same Java Error on builds 13 and 15. Had to go back to 12 in order to get the d20 3.5 sheet to load. I tried running both versions (13 and 15) from web launch and from file launch and they both error out repeatedly.

Someone who's receiving this error should provide a copy of the stacktrace. (Assuming that CT provides a backtrace. I don't typically use CT so I don't even know. :?)

Also, did you download the zip file or launch it from the web page? If you launched it then you should download the zip, extract the files and run the batch or script file for your system to start it.

I downloaded build 12. That did work. Thanks for the help.
