<Magery>
Limited Colleges (%CollegesList%), -40%/-30%, upto(1), levelnames(,), group(Magery), page(Th24), formula(-10% * (5 – (%CollegesCost4% + %CollegesCost3% + %CollegesCost2% + %CollegesCost1%))), forceformula(yes),_

In both of these, removed that % sign after -10 at the start of the formula().

Version 5.0.220 Released

Leave a reply

GURPS Character Assistant 5.0.220.0 has been released. Get the updated installer from your Warehouse 23 downloads page. (I’ve posted some help on doing that at both the new and old stores here.)

You get the updated installer by re-downloading the ZIP file from your Warehouse 23 account, and running the gca5setup_5.0.220.release.exe program that it contains (see the instructions link above). There is no separate update-only installer, you have to download and reinstall the program. It will not overwrite your personal data, it will overwrite your installation of GCA with the new and updated version.

This update includes all the changes mentioned in Build Notes posts since the last Release.
This time, it’s a bug fix release, fixing two issues:

    • For some reason, GCA would stop responding if you were in an edit field on a Classic View trait list and you clicked on a tab to change to a different list or view. That should no longer happen.
    • Fixes a critical bug related to item weight calculations introduced in b213 (released with version 5.0.218).

* Bug Fixes

For some reason, GCA would stop responding if you were in an edit field on a Classic View trait list and you clicked on a tab to change to a different list or view. That should no longer happen.

The fixes made to account for base weight usage for equipment, formulas, and modifiers in an earlier build had a serious issue: the base weight was being reconverted every time from the converted value, not from the original source base weight. <sigh> This was a stupid mistake on my part, that I somehow overlooked accounting for at the start of the calculation process. Fixed now.
