Re: TFT Helper - beta test of app
Andrew,
Thank you! that helps a ton. My comment about Club was in reference to using one, the App says Ax/Mace required when you select club as a ready weapon. I have one request, offer a 34-36 pt character build option, so new players can experience what it's like to build something a little more advanced. What would it take to change 32 to say 35pt as an option? |

Yes, but it doesn't seem to work with Epson iPrint or the default printer drivers on my Samsung phone. The file renders as blank (technically, it just shows text headers).

Re: TFT Helper - beta test of app
don't forget it does not print the graphic display; the export just spits out a string of stats that is supposed to be shared. What I can't find is how that exported string is supposed to be imported. The "Import Character" that you see when you Create Character doesn't seem to do anything.

Exporting them for later import is also important from a backup perspective, too.

Don't most phones have a screenshot feature?

Once I got the font size issue sorted out, I played around with it, and it works just fine, at least in my limited testing. It's a great help for me, since I've wanted an easy way to select spells, me being a bit of a neophyte.

Re: TFT Helper - beta test of app
Axe/Mace & Club - Wow, that snuck right past. Will be fixed in 1.1.
Printing a nice character sheet would be great. Not easy, not part of the original spec, but great. I will revisit. Meanwhile, I have exactly two reports of the app loading but not responding to any touches at all, so you're stuck at the main menu. Two is a small number with nearly six hundred installs as of this morning, but it still has my attention. If anyone sees this let me know exactly what device and OS version you have. I strongly suspect it is older Android systems that are going to fail in this way, but with two datapoints and neither fully described it's hard to say. Thanks again! |

Re: TFT Helper - beta test of app
Would it be possible to add iCloud export/import so that we can share stats between iPhone and iPad as well as backing up characters?
So far, this app is fantastic. As far as printing the character sheet, I can screen capture and send to my WiFi printer, so not really concerned with that so much. That would be icing on the cake. However, being able to import the stat line from a file would be awesome so that we could share characters. I would suggest export to a CSV (comma separated variable) file. That would allow for cloud storage, email, texting, etc. Anyway, good work! Keep it up. |
