Re: GCA5 Beta Preview available now [FOURTH release out now!]
Is it possible to use the phoenix character sheet?

Re: GCA5 Beta Preview available now [FOURTH release out now!]
Not the one used with GCA4, no. The technologies behind the two programs are too different. Thomas at one point had a version he updated for GCA5, but that was several years ago and unfortunately he has been radio silent for some time now.
If there is something you need in a sheet, please ask, and I may be able to provide it given time. The tools I've created in Spring Bandit are more flexible than what I had in the Official sheet, and I may be able to adapt or add something that you'd like. I will not attempt to convert Phoenix, though.

Re: GCA5 Beta Preview available now [FOURTH release out now!]
Managed to get GCA5 working on my Linux (Kubuntu 21.10) install. Used PlayOnLinux to create a 32-bit Windows 7 container (the default) with Wine 6.18 and run the installer within it, then added .NET 4.61 (later versions did not work). Seems to be working just fine, even able to update properly, although I haven't tested thoroughly yet.

(Anything in the .Net 4.X series *should* work, but of course the newest is always supposed to be best. I'm honestly not sure how Microsoft incremented them as new OSes came out.)

Edit: Just did a bit more research, and have discovered that .NET 5 & 6 are now available natively for Linux. As soon as an Ubuntu 21.10 package has been created, I'll install .NET 6.0 and see if by any chance GCA5 will run natively now...cross your fingers!

I don't believe WinForms is cross-platform, either, so none of my UI (which is quite large), and some of my tools, wouldn't transition even if I wanted to convert up to .Net 6.

Re: GCA5 Beta Preview available now [FOURTH release out now!]
You made it look that way, but you are the first person I am aware of that tried and got it to work! My earlier tests against Mono also claimed not to be compatible, so I am not sure if something in Mono has changed since, or if PlayOnLinux introduces some missing bits.
