Aurora Studio - Preview 0.3.6

This (setup attached) is a preview version that can be used to test basic functionality. There are things added but not enabled to keep the focus of the first test small but will be slowly added/enabled if all is working as expected. Please provide some feedback on how the things that are added work before I add more of the same. 

When editing existing files with this version, make sure you have a backup. I encourage you to test things, but saving an existing file might yield unexpected results.

First launch you will be asked where the files for Aurora are stored, default location will be correct for most users.

Things will change, move around, be added and be disabled/removed if needed (changes not always announced). The application will auto-update in the background when a new preview version is available (limited bandwidth, try not to publicly mass distribute this version - share with care). 

Some of the things that can play around with:


At the left are tabs to switch between different panes.

What you currently can't do (but you can always still manually tweak the file as you would now):

Note to those who want to test functionality.

Basics on what to test and look out for:

Application configuration (remove to reset) and log files can be found in the AppData.

AppData: C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\Aurora\Aurora Studio Preview


The HTML descriptions will be encoded when saving a file and comments in existing files will not be taken into account. This is intended behaviour.

Just necromancing this as I've done a clean install to a new PC. Any further updates Mr Bas ?

Hey Bas, wondering if we're gonna get another update to this

Nyx Midnight

I've used this to add a new fighter archetype but the proficiency list is empty and I can't actually choose anything. When I looked at the Fighter xml it just showed a selection rule that supported Skill,Fighter but nothing else. How do you add selectable Proficiencies?

VoluptuousCustard

There happens to be a video to create an archetype from a while ago. There is a wizard (element>archetype) that will get you setup pretty quick with the basic requirements of an archetype. https://www.patreon.com/posts/archetypes-peek-46823535 I have some vacation time coming up soon, I hope I can add the missing UA then.

Hey, I'm looking to create the subclasses from the Strixhaven UA (as the book was a little overwhelming). Is there a tutorial on how one might be able to create a subclass? Alternatively, is there anyone that has already created the xmls for Strixhaven UA?

Andrew Wissmann

Is their any youtube video on how to use the Aurora Studio? As I attempted to use it, and failed at it

Devon Rai

Didn't even realize you were were on this when I joined but I've loved Aurora for years. Thanks for putting this together. I know it's still early but It should make it a lot easier to fix the mistakes I made in a custom sentient chicken race I made recently.

This was written in C# / WPF.

Bas Driessen

What did you use to build this? What programming language?

Devon Rai

For your Info - Nortons Antivirus - Suggested your file was a Mild Threat and promptly deleted it. Glad to report told Nortons to undelete and ignore / whitelist in the future..........O'crap just realized need to rename your file or Nortons will ignore any file called Setup.exe.........lol .........Thank You for both this and the Brilliant Aurora program.

Dadmaris

Gotta say, this is brilliant!

Callum Sim

sounds, good! sending now!

Ophelia

Glad you got it fixed! If you still happen to have the logs (same location as the config file) you can email them (the one that has the date of the update/crash/unable to launch) if you want so I can take a look where it went wrong.

Bas Driessen

Hi Bas! Tried to update to the newest version via an in app prompt and now it won't open at all. If I uninstall and reinstall, it doesn't even open the install wizard, it just makes an app icon on my desktop. Thank you so much for your incredible program! EDIT: Just deleted the studio.config file and reinstalled and it worked!

Ophelia

I have added a changelog tab (green clipboard icon on the left) to the preview version so you can see what changed when it is updated.

Bas Driessen

Yes. You can for example open the file with spells (spells.xml) from the players handbook and edit them or make a duplicate of one of them to customize. It should work for all xml files from the archive. Be sure to let me know if there are any problems loading content (xml) files.

Bas Driessen

I haven't downloaded it and tried it out yet, but I want you to know that I am sooooo excited to try this out! thank you for your hard work and for letting us try this preview

Mitchell Stevenson

Hey! Will this be able to open files from the old Aurora and if so how is that possible? I can’t see anything currently, I could be jumping the gun here aha!

Tom Mooney

That's right. This is a preview version and the goal is to be able to use this instead of making the files manually, taking the technical stuff out of the equation.

Bas Driessen

This is for creating and using custom content right?

Devon Rai

We're getting there, closer and closer!

metta

I'm so excited to learn how to use this!

Andrew Wissmann

I've been waiting a long time for this and I'm so excited to try it! Thank you for all your hard work!
