PCGEN sending updates for PCs in network environment

             Project: Code

Last Update: Settings changed ( thpr )
Details:

We are a small group of D&d players and like PCGEN a
lot. When we play, we sit around the table and put our
laptops in a small network. However PCGEN does not
allow to view/manipulate the same instance of a
character at all networked pc's at the same time. If the
wizards casts Magic weapon on the weapon of another
player, both the wizard and the other player need to
change this in their local files, or one player changes and
the others need to reload the character. The same is
true when using GMGEN. It would be extremely nice to
be able to make a change at one PC and this gets
reflected at all the other networked pc's.

This is not as undoable as it sounds. We jsut need to send
the name of the template to apply across the net and if the
template doesn't exist, error. If it does, apply it
we would need a screen for applying them to others. that's
about it.

Oh, and an alert for the GM for templates being applied to
baddies.

Probably means we need to start creating templates for
damage, as well as applying of other effects from spells
(like sickened for stinking cloud).

Big project, well worth it in the end.

I would actually like to keep this.

Hmm, I recommend ditching this, thoughts? - K

Should be not extremely complicated by writing an event
raiser that notifies other instances of PCGEN to reload/adapt
a character instance.

Lowering priority, workaround + massive rework

This is not going to be possible anytime soon.
It would require a complete re-write of the way PCGen
reads/processes/writes characters.
In fact the difficulty of doing the above is massive.

As a work around, I would suggest one person run PCGen
on their computer, load up all the PC's and then display
that screen to a central monitor/TV. That way you can
quickly change each PC as spells, etc are cast.

Erk, Bryan?
