A crappy stat rolling monitoring utility I made.

***UPDATED TO v1.0.2011***
Just saw that a new update has been released and I've uploaded v1.0.2011 to GameFront and MediaFire
***END UPDATE***
I'm not gonna lie, this thing's not amazing - but I'm hoping some of you will find it useful. Basically it's a small program which you can run alongside BG:EE as you create your character and it will calculate your stat total as well as show you your strength percentage stat without having to put 18 points into strength to see it.
Here's a screenshot if it:
Here's a quick tutorial video to show you what it's like:

It's not meant to automate the process, but rather to help streamline the process for those who don't use Ctrl-8.
You can find the links for all of the different versions on my gamefront profile. I list them according to which BG:EE version they're compatible with.

Make sure to read the readme, because this program is very fragile. I have only tested it on my computer and my wife's computer, and on top of that I didn't program it to be very robust - so if you don't follow the readme instructions pretty much to a T, it's probably gonna crash on you. Hell, it'll probably crash on a lot of you who DO follow it to a T :P
I don't promise I'll fix any issues you find, but if you find something either message me on here (Ravel) or over on Reddit (Sir_Dimos) and I'll maybe take a look at it.
I take no responsibility for the horrible things this may do to your computer, and use at your own risk.
Enjoy!

Nice little program, though. I bet it was fun to code.
Thanks I'll give it a try. Thought about this my self a couple of times. I can't code though. Gets annoying adding up stats in your head.
Like I said though, this isn't for people who want to hit a button and get the stats they want, but those who want to roll their character the old fashioned way, but want a little help to speed things up. I mostly made this for the fighter classes, since having to max your strength every time to see your strength subscore is stupid :P
It works great but the numbers are overlapping strength and stat total. Makes it a bit hard to read. My resolution is set at 1920 x 1080
Both versions do this. Does anyone know how to post a jpeg file from a computer to the forums?
Yes exactly.
Sorry I was trying to upload a picture of it but I don't know how?
haha, success. Still a bit hard to see sorry.
Lemme know if you have the same issue!

Here's how it looks on mine:
Will test right away.
Update: Awesome works great now. Thank you so much. I hope you keep it updated if a new version (BG:EE) comes out and it breaks it. That of course is up to you. Again thank you very much.
That way I don't have to worry about spamming too many different download links with each new little fix
Sorry no idea.
Edit: I have now tried and it works perfectly! Many thanks!
Btw I was wondering if you are aware of being the savior of this community of nerds xD
Using ctrl 8 is cheating outright. Rolling til you get the stats you want might be cheesy, it might take hours, and it might lead to repetetive stress injuries, but its a legitimate hobby.
And don't be too hard on yourself, you really shouldn't call it crappy. If you want to call it buggy, thats fine, but dont put your own work down.
As I get around to updating the files, I'll post them there.
Yea def do not call the tool crappy.
Should be renamed monitoring stat tool of greatness:)
I think the new patch that just came out 20 minutes ago broke your stat tool! After updating it doesn't work for me anymore.
Do you get the same thing?
I've been trying to lock down the new memory addresses in the past 15 mins here..., but it's being tricksy :P
Thank you Ravel, your work is appreciated.
I just started my campaign over for the fourth time, and now this awesome little tool makes me want to roll a new character again...
I suffer from restartitis...
