Character builder and International Measures

zarnick · 05-29-2006, 08:44 PM

Hi, I'm using GCB to create my characters, and I would really like some info on how(if it's possible) you can print instead of lbs and feets, kgs and meters. Is there any way?

Thanks a lot.

If you have the program fully updated, with all the data files, you should have a variant data file called "Variant Basic Set 4e - Metric Equipment". To load it, go to Tools - Options - Data Sets, and click Change. You'll be given a list of data sets to add to the list, which should include the file I mentioned. Once you add it, click "Load Now". Your character details should now appear in metric.

Thanks, but since I've told, I'm using GCB(I just didn't find a board for it), and using 3e still, since they have not yet translated the basic set to my own language(but they will...I know they will..hehe)

Thanks a lot.

I don't know whether the answer is there or not, but you could try going to the Meacreator Website (GCB is a specialized build of Metacreator that was licensed by SJ Games for 3rd edition), and looking on their Discussion Board, or possibly the FAQ. Failing both of those, I believe there is a Support contact thingy at the bottom, and someone with Alterego Software may be able to help you out.

Well, I've send an e-mail...hope they can point me some directions...also...one more thing...in GCA is there any character sheet that will print just like the 3d edition sheets?

Thanks a lot.

Well, GCA4 supports custom character sheets, so making a sheet like that is possible. However, I don't think that anyone has created a sheet like that yet (assuming that you mean the basic 3e sheet: front & back).

Yep, that's exactly what I've meant...
