Here's a
Phoenix update. This release
requires GCA version
4.0.320 or later.
Here's
an example PDF showing the redesigned page one header, primary statistics block, and the encumbrance load-out flagging.
As always, it's available from
my GCA resources page.

Phoenix, version 1.14 ChangeLog
------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Redesigned the Primary Statistics block. It now displays the tech level and size modifier traits by default, as well as sporting new HP/FP record blanks, including breakpoints, which are replaced by the checkboxes if you enable that option.
- Changed how the various statistics sub-blocks are handled, so they are now treated as their own block, fully integrated into the positioning system. This also means that they are, by necessity, their own self-contained blocks now, rather than being attached to the Primary Statistics block.
- Merged the old Telekinesis statistic sub-block and the old TK Encumbrance block into the new Telekinesis statistic block. Ugly as sin and badly in need of a redesign, but it works.
- Redesigned the Unlimited Mana statistic block.
- Changed the page one header so that: it always displays the race trait, it no longer displays the size modifier trait, as that's handled by the redesigned Primary Statistics block, and the appearance trait makes better use of the space available to it.
- Changed how split, borrowed, divergent, and superscience tech levels should be recorded. You should now record your extra TL information in either the Tech Level trait's "usernotes" or "notes" tag, preferring the "usernotes" tag, if possible. Previous versions needed this information recorded in the Tech Level trait's Name Extension field, however, this was problematic, so the change was made.
- Changed how the fatigue points checkboxes section prints the breakpoint chart to conserve space.
- Changed how the Load-Out block prints the names of load-outs, so that if an encumbrance load-out has been selected, its name will be flagged with bullets.
- Changed the name of the "Attack Tables" group to "Combat Tables", as that is more fitting to its members.
- Modified the internal font handling; Phoenix hackers will want to refamiliarize themselves with the new font code.
- Fixed the Telekinesis statistic block so that it will work properly with the various modifiers that can be added to telekinesis.
- Fixed the Mage: The Ascension statistic block so it should work with both of the GURPS 4e MtA GDFs floating around.
- Removed redundant headers from the Defenses block's optional DR table and armor diagram.
- I might have missed a few changes; shouldn't be anything major, however.
PS: Changes were made to the positioning options. You will
need to make use of the
Reset to Defaults button on the Character Sheet Options window for Phoenix and redo your preferred options before using Phoenix to print characters.
PPS: Happy birthday, Phoenix. :)
