GCA won't print out

scryer52 · 01-11-2023, 03:45 PM

I've been trying to print out my characters but I keep getting this:

The character sheet file 'C:\Users\USER\Documents\GURPS Character Assistant 4\sheets\charactersheet.gcs' does not exist, and the default character sheet could not be found. Please specify a file that does exist.

I have saved my files but I still can't get it to print or even allow me to look at the preview.

Ideas?

That's a GCA 4 folder and a GCA 4 sheet. Are you asking for GCA 4, or is this a character which you loaded into GCA 5? (GCA 5 shouldn't even try to use GCA 4 sheets).

You should be able to go into Options, Current Character Options, and change sheets there. But if you've changed your folder structure or changed GCA's folder in your Documents, you may need to first ascertain to where they've gone.

I'm not using GCA 5. But I'll try and check this stuff out.

The Current Character Options thing is for GCA4, but the biggest concern is where the sheets in your Documents folder went.

GCA5 is much more robust. I strongly recommend upgrading. If you bought GCA4 through Warehouse 23, you already own it.
