Bug: Clicking "Next" Brings Me Back...

Nov 10, 2008 17:29:18 I entered customized stats into the Ability Scores, unable to click the "Next" button to continue entering data. If I click on the next tab, any time I click on the "Next" button, it brings me back to the Ability Scores tab, with the "Next" button grayed out like last time.

If Homebrew statistics are to work, I would hope that this is just a little glitch... At the Finish tab, it lists the homebrew modifications to the character, which I am fine with. I don't want to be stuck on ensuring legal character status when making the character, however. Any thoughts?

To clarify the bug: Entering values for the statistics manually, followed by clicking on any of the + or - buttons, causes the "Next" button to gray out. Any attempt after that to continue on the path causes the screen to jump back to the Ability Scores page.

I'm looking into it a bit more and it seems that when there are either points leftover, in the negative, or set to n/a, it causes the Next button to be grayed out... That's the current hypothesis anyhow.

That should work for now, and in the mean time I'll look into the logic that caused it to happen in the first place.

Looking forward to the next update!
