Thank you for taking up the mantle of this great Combat Manager. In my opinion is the best combat manager available for D&D and I was so sad when Mortaneu let it go.  Please, keep us posted on how things are going and many thanks again. Ciao

Good news: I have found where the problems with the new way the STAT elements are saved.
Bas News: I'm used to C#, not VB so things will be a bit slow as I ramp up in the new language (good thing they're rather close syntactically).
Not sure how much you care, but there are a bunch of utilities that will convert vb.net code to C# code and back again. I personally wouldn't like to go through all that VB code and be stuck in it.

Just checked out copying creatures from the updated MB to DnD4e CT. The CT doesn't parse the powers correctly due to the new format as I predicted. Exarmen, since you seem to have taken up the mantle of updating this excellent program, you might need to keep this in mind.

Someone (other than the original programmer) over on RPGnetWiki posted an update to Combat Manager that addresses the format changes to the Character Builder. It's version 1.6.1a. It is also acknowledged there that the Monster Builder changes won't allow monster imports. Presumably a fix to that is also in the works. I'll keep my fingers crossed because I absolutely love Combat Manager beyond words. wiki.rpg.net/index.php/DnD4eCM

Bearform is absolutely correct. Someone did, calling themselves DarkSir. And faster than I to boot. As such I shall bow to the superior (or at least faster) developer.

It looks like the mysterious and miraculous DarkSir has posted 1.6.1b, which addresses the changes to Adventure Tools.
DarkSir, if you read these boards and see this message please accept my thanks (and I'm sure the thanks of many others) for contributing your programming skills to update a phenomenal program so it can be uses with the new WotC updates.

Thanks, bearform. I've left instructions on the wiki with how to let me know if anything isn't working. I'd like to find and catch any anomolies as quickly as possible, so I plan to put out a 1.6.1c soon. I've noticed that Vulnerabilities are not importing to the right place, and will fix that, as well.
I hope Mortaneus returns, but until he does, I'm happy to hack together updates to keep the utility working. It's been a tremendous asset for my game, as well as those of my friends. I'd hate to not be able to use it to its fullest.

Version 1.6.1c has been posted. It can be found here: wiki.rpg.net/index.php/DnD4eCM* Fixed a Monster Builder import glitch with monsters who had non-aura Traits. * Added "Mark Until Source's Next Turn" to the context menu for the combatant list. * Reformatted the combatant list so the numbers are appended a bit more uniformly. Example "Hill Giant-1" is now "Hill Giant - 01" . This will keep large numbers of monsters from being sorted improperly, if there are 10 or more of them. * Recharge powers now show up with the dice symbols, rather than "Recharge 4" or "Recharge 6". These were a couple of features that I've either wanted, or seen people request. Still on the lookout for monsters that fail to import properly. So far, so good.
