I'd be happy to help you with any questions you have for creating a CharTool game file. The place to start is the stickies in the CharTool forum. I'm working on the editor now, but you would have to be able to check the source code out in Eclipse to be able to help with that until the next release.

Heh, no reason to worry about old versions! When D&D 4e came out a large number of players went to the old versions of it. The campaign frameworks that brad is talking about are for MapTool and they do not work with Char Tool. Those campaign files might have a way to create characters in them, b...

It is 5th edition. I don't know of any other edition.

Eclipse is our software development tool. There are instructions here: How to get RPTools source via Eclipse and subversion. If you're not used to software development though, that can be tough to figure out.

The tool appears to be working for adding new items to the game settings database tables. Races, classes, and weapons can all be added since they are kept in the tables. It's still in the early stages of testing though, so it hasn't been released yet. You would have to check out the source code of C...

OK, added a view menu so that you can turn on/off all of the tabs one at a time or in sets. By default it is only showing the CT related tabs.

That's easy enough to fix, I'll add a view menu to turn the tabs on and off.

I've got the game settings file editor working again after a long time. I'm not ready to publish it, but you can get it from SVN and run it in dev mode. The following things are currently working: ⋅ Open any existing settings file ⋅ Create a new settings file ⋅ Save As ...

I've not heard of any one creating a game settings file for it.

You can add multiple forms to that XML, but it only causes them to show up in the view menu. All other forms are hidden and have to be brought up manually using scripts (or embedded in each other).

There isn't an event, but I think you can set up for a listener. I'll have to check when I get home...

You can do pretty much anything with java script. Java Script gives you complete control over everything. The hard part is knowing where to put it. You can even write the whole wizard in Java if you want, and then start it from Java script. You're allowed to create buttons that have java script atta...

CT has no edit vs. using mode itself. I usually do this with two different screens, one for editing and one for playing. Then you can switch between them using the view menu.

Just looking at the error, you are missing a 'scripting' map property in your base definition.

The dnd4e does a lot of the combo box stuff you are trying to do, but I'm not at my computer at home to give you a good example.

All of the documentation that I've written for creating new game settings files is in the Adopters: * threads in this forum. If you have any questions or need help with something feel free to ask.
