Agreed. You remain one of my personal heroes, Nick.

Is there a way to make the old version an option? I can't get the new version to reliably display its Summary function, and I really much preferred the way the old versions summary output looked

Guys, there's a new version (v4.0) of the GURPS Ritual Path Magic Designer tool, at the normal URL:

http://gurps-monsterhunters.appspot.com

You'll automatically get it the next time you launch the tool from your browser if you are connected to the internet.

It adds the ability to type a "level" into any modifier (its pretty lenient, allowing for instance '10 lbs.', '10#', '10 pounds', etc - other fields like duration and range are similar - it even does a number of unit conversions (pounds to tons, for example; minutes to hours to days to weeks, etc for durations).

There were also a number of other tweaks made in this version.

I also think I fixed a bug in the Firefox version, but I know that the new version has a problem with IE11. I'll be looking into that, but you can reach older versions by prepending the version number to the URL, like this:

http://1.gurps-monsterhunters.appspot.com
http://2.gurps-monsterhunters.appspot.com
http://3.gurps-monsterhunters.appspot.com

Because of personal troubles, I haven't touched GURPS (along with most of my other hobbies) lately. However, I do check up on the forums every once in a while. It's always a great day to see news related to this tool, and I love the cute little disclaimer. I promise that I'll drop some support as soon as I can afford to. I love that you can now type in the levels. When I get back to my conversion stuff, you can bet that it will be going quicker.

Thank you so much for your hard work, and know that you put a smile on my face with this news! I feel GURPS pumping in my veins. Alas, the weekend is just now over. A shame, I tell you.

Nick:

Can you make it so that if you change what the Inherent effects are of a ritual, that it does not delete the description for that ritual? Instead, make it so the 'clear' button clears out the entire thing rather than just the modifiers and descriptions (ie, make it clear out the effects as well).

Can you give me step by step instructions to recreate the problem? Adding/changing effects should not remove the description, and the Clear button should.

I can reliably replicate the Clear issue by creating a ritual, going to the 'gather' tab, and then going back to the design tab and pressing clear. This also makes the program forget how many effects are present in the ritual. I'm using Google Chrome.

I can't seem to replicate the adding/changing effects issue.

One thing I would love is to have the option of using old style output with the newer versions. I really love the way the version one formats the output (1 convenient line per item of input), but like the new features for putting in said input (such as adding the percentages in for attacks and such), so I am constantly torn between which version of the program I want to use
