[Chummer 5 is Alive]

Could we get a check box on the qualities form to hide metagenetic qualities?  There is a check box to hide non-metagenetic qualities but it would be nice to be able to do the opposite if you aren't going to be  changeling.  Thanks.

It's something I've been meaning to do. The general idea is to expand the filter capabilities, so that you can find qualities that are only from a certain book, or have a karma cost between x and y. With any luck I should be able to knock at least the metagenetic part out this weekend.

So I've got most of my campaign characters built in 5.139, would really like to update to 5.173, but when I just did a standard install of 5.173 it wouldn't read my old files.

The idea of having to re-enter all my old notes regarding Karma and Nuyen gains and expenditures makes me grumpy, is there any way to just import my old character file into the new Chummer?

If I had to guess, I'd say it's freaking out about your lifestyles. The core-book ones broke in some annoying way I haven't bothered to look at yet. What errors are you getting?

[MadDogMaddux]

Here's what I get when I load one of the files. I can give you a block for each of my characters if it is helpful. Let me know. (I've probably got six or so)

Hrm. It doesn't like one of your character qualities. Would it happen to be a dwarf?

Nope, that character is a Troll. Here's the box of rejection letters I get for my Elf Channeler.

[Chummer 5 is Alive]

ooookay. So none of your qualitites have the metagenetic tag. The trycatch that's supposed to STOP it from breaking doesn't. Sigh. Okay, the quick and dirty fix is to open up your character files in notepad, find each quality and add <metagenetic />. That will stop it from crashing. I'll fix up that crash to do a null test instead of the trycatch over the weekend.

[halflingmage]

I have updated to the latest version and now my old characters will not load at all and new character I have made with the new version will load but get an error message and are loaded up as a karma build (even if they were not) with 400 karma left to spend, regardless of how far in the creation process they have gone.  I am not the most tech savvy, but if there is any information to supply from there that would be helpful let me know.

[MadDogMaddux]

I'll make edits and report back. Thanks!

[MadDogMaddux]

Bam! Did the trick! I'm assuming that if I make that edit, future updates will be able to conform the save file to the needed parameters?

Short version, the load method means that if something goes wrong and you try to ignore the error, it loads up with default values. If you can take a copy of the error you receive and post it here, I should be able to figure out what's wrong.

I'm assuming that if I make that edit, future updates will be able to conform the save file to the needed parameters?

Yup!

[Chummer 5 is Alive]

Yeah, there's a screwup in the data file. It's fixed in the next version, but in the interim you can just change the Availability Rating. https://github.com/chummer5a/chummer5a/pull/376/files

[HaikenEdge]

As somebody who's not too good at pulling together individual files, may I inquire as to when the next update for Chummer5a as one file might be?

[Chummer 5 is Alive]

Hrm; probably around this time tomorrow? There's not much more I wanted to put into the next build anyway and my master's at a stable state. I've gotten a bit slack with updates of late, MGSV's eaten a frightening amount of my free time. Anyway, yeah. Tomorrowish.

[HaikenEdge]

Thanks for the update, and I totally understand why Metal Gear Solid V would be time consuming; I may not own a copy, but I'm that way with any open-world or stealth games. When I first got Mad Max, the amount of time I sank into it, until I became obsessed with Shadowrun 5E...
