This looks like what I've been waiting for, but I'm not sure how to use it. Is there a read-me, how to, instruction manual or anything of similar?
"Dialogue"
<<Matrix/Comm>>
"Astral"

There is and it's a wiki : https://github.com/UrsZeidler/shr5rcp/wiki/Using-the-application

And Hopefully it is helpful.

Yeah this looks like it has great potential! Thanks for putting it together!

Haven't been able to get it to work yet though.  When I open it up the program I get a blank model explorer with nothing in it  (screen attached shot below).

I did read the wiki, but didn't see anything about this.  Do I have to import a project or something else? 

Sorry if I am just being dumb!  There has obviously been a lot of effort into this to try and make it functional and user friendly.

Seems odd as the workspace and the basic resources gets created when not existent.
So you could locate the workspace, a folder called shr_workspace, normally in the application directory, and delete it

When you start the application, try to set the basic path, in windows it's calles "start in directory" to the application path. As the workspace get created in this path.
You could checkout the error log via "About"->"Installation details"->"Configuration"->"view error log" and push it as issue https://github.com/UrsZeidler/shr5rcp/issues?state=open.

Perhaps this could help.

btw. Which OS you use ?

Looks great.  Started to play around and found one issue: if Metatype is set at E then is shows as Human (0), whereas the priority table on p. 65 of the Core Book has it as Human (1).
Also, how do you select multiple levels of the same Adept Power?

Thanks

These resources came directly via import from the chummer2 project so there might be more than this flaw.
The best would be to collect them : https://github.com/UrsZeidler/shr5rcp/issues/1

Just open up the dialog again.
It's a technical thing, the dialog simply want to move the selected object in your character(this is the current behavior), but the objects you select get copied to the character, that's why you can select the same object the next time again.

I'm on a Mac.

Thanks for the response.  I messed around with it and no luck so far. I'll wait and see if other people get it working on a Mac and see if they have the same issues.

Thanks

There are some Mac downloaders, 8 to be percise for now.

In lack of the hardware, I can not reproduce by now.
I try to checkout some of my friends.

[update]
I did and sadly I can confirm this problem with Mac OS.
https://github.com/UrsZeidler/shr5rcp/issues/16

But mac is not so bad, you could try :

open a terminal,
and cd in the program directory and run the program like this ./run_shr -consolelog
and the output should look like this :
Code: [Select]
urs@valis:~/Downloads/shr-rcp.gtk.linux.x86_64$ ./run_shr -consolelog

If not, and it's not obvious what might be the problem, you could try additional parameters like -clean or -debug

Got the MacOs issue. And fixed it:

https://github.com/UrsZeidler/shr5rcp/releases/tag/0.1.3-1-update

The issue : https://github.com/UrsZeidler/shr5rcp/issues/16

The build is made from the 0.1.3 tag, so no additional feature or so on, as the next regular release is scheduled for the 30.3.2014

see
https://github.com/UrsZeidler/shr5rcp/issues/milestones

Thanks for mention.

looks good.... now for the 2 obvious questions


1:
Is it in English? (sadly my foreign languages skills are limited to about 2 dozen vulgar phrases in about 15 different languages.... beyond "Bathroom" that is :D)


2:

Is there A nice "read me" file made for retarded monkeys? Cause us retarded monkeys can have issues when it comes to computer programs and computers :D




Other then that, keep up the great work!
Where am I going? And why am I in a hand basket ???

To the questions :

1. Yes, the application picks the language from the os. And German and English are supported for now. see https://github.com/UrsZeidler/shr5rcp/wiki/Building%20and%20development#localisation
2. Yes, a Wiki right  here : https://github.com/UrsZeidler/shr5rcp/wiki
 

greetings.
