Pathfinder Open Reference 1.0.16-1.0.17 Released!

This is a monster of a release.  I made significant backend modifications to support some future initiatives.  This caused the release to get stretched for a really long time, but I think the results are worth it. It's perhaps possible that the birth of my new baby daughter Aurelia may have cause some delay too :-) 1.0.16,1.0.17 -

Sources

  • Ultimate Combat
  • NPC Codex
  • All other changes from the 2013/01/13 PRD update

Three new top level menu items

  • Class Customizations: includes sections for every class's archetypes, and other customizations (rogue talents, wizard schools, etc)
  • Hazards: I went through every monster entry, spell, etc to tag all hazards for quick reference (Addictions, Curses, Diseases, Haunts, Infestations, Insanities, Poisons & Traps)
  • Quick Reference: Commonly used things like Conditions, special attacks free/full-round/move/standard actions, etc

Improvements to creatures

  • Cleaned up a lot of bad data
  • There are now menu items under creatures for NPCs and Templates

New Preferences

  • Preference menu that lets you turn on/off any book that you don't use or is not allowed in your game. (Thanks to robertpeacock22)

Search

  • Keyboards that offer autocomplete were damaging search by adding a space at the end.  autocompleted words should now work fine in search

Hardware Support

  • Added support for samsung devices that enable multi-window interfaces

Misc

  • New splash screen for loading

Under the covers

  • Books are now separate databases, this opens the way for being able to download additional books.  Lots of people have requested data from books not in the pathfinder srd, I now have a future path towards supporting this.
  • All articles now have a stable URL.  This can be used now to open the pathfinder open reference via intents from other applications, but will also be the foundation of a future API that will let 3rd party apps use the data from this app.  The supported URLs to launch articles are here.  Further documentation on this will be added later.

Pathfinder Open Reference 1.0.15 Released!

Now that I am settled in in Colorado, it's time to get a release out.  This release has focused on a ton of small usability features and defects. I started linking tables to articles, starting with monster related ones. I hope to get most other tables linked later. 1.0.15 - * Words of Power were missing, added * NPC Gallery npcs were missing - they now show up under monsters as well * Linked NPC Gallery table to NPCs * Linked Summon Monster/Nature's Ally spells to creatures * Fixed formatting issues for vehicles, race creator, and various spells * Find in page tool can now be hidden

Pathfinder Open Reference 1.0.12 Released

This is a minor release.  I'm in the process of moving from NYC to Denver, so releases will be light for the next few weeks.  Most of this update focuses on making the article experience better. 1.0.12 - * Fixed aggressive removal of "failed" bookmarks * Added a search in page tool * Added a table of contents tool

Pathfinder Open Reference 1.0.11 Released

This release adds the much requested feature of exposing archetypes in class articles.  I'm not certain if this method is the final incarnation, but it gets pretty close.  All snippets from other books that relate to a particular class will now show up in that class' article. 1.0.11 * Search was broken for tablets in the last release, fixed * Some monsters were not sorting properly * Fixed numerous formatting issues in magic item articles * Some minor creature changes * Class articles now contain any relevant snippets from other books.
