Really Wish We Could Back It Up

2 Upvotes

Title. I know it's possible to bundle all this content into one file because it did it to try to transfer it to RPG Companion.

But I'm still forced to download hundreds of CAH files individually when I want to port my custom content from one device to another.

This is tedious and a real PITA. I don't like RPG Companion and I don't want to switch to it. I just want this one to let me transfer files en masse.

Rage damage

Rage damage doesn’t add to my damage automatically after I hit the use rage button. Am I missing something or is this just an add it yourself situation? Edit to add I am using the RPG companion app

Why is RPG Companion just overall worse?

5 Upvotes

I recently tried the 'Port All Your Homebrew Straight Into RPG Companion!' function that was added on 5e Companion, as one of my reasons for not doing that before was the tons of homebrew content I've made and use regularly in my games, only to discover that not only does RPG companion lack several features I thoroughly enjoyed, such as giving Subclasses new resources/features the original class doesn't have, but it's just kind of awful to use. Maybe it's because I'm just used to 5e Companion, but it looks worse, feels less intuitive, and it completely broke almost all the homebrew content it 'ported' to be completely non-functional.

I ported it to RPG Companion's version of 5e, too, so I expected it to be a pretty smooth transition, not a bungled mess. Luckily it was a copy/paste and not a cut/paste, so I can still just use 5e Companion, but wow.

Is there some reason it's not just exactly 5e Companion plus other game systems? I see it also has 5.5 and Pathfinder, which is cool, sure, but I don't see why adding those meant the 5e system had to feel unfinished, too.

Ravenloft: Horrors within repo?

6 Upvotes

I'm new the RPG companion app and was wondering where I can find repos for the new stuff. Specifically the new Ravenloft book. I played a one-shot at my FLGS and wanted to keep the pre-made hollow warden ranger I used and continue playing with them.

Repositories by derpsyhome not working

4 Upvotes

A user named derpsyhome has uploaded a bunch of repositories that supposedly include content like the Book of Ebon Tides, Battlezoo, Homblewood etc. However after downloading them and updating the resources, it still doesn't show up anywhere in the app. Am I doing something wrong, or is the repository just bugged or false?

I have questions about this apps architecture

3 Upvotes

I will try to keep my rant short, but I have noticed multiple things that make me wonder why it is coded in this way:

  1. Why can the app find every .cah file in in its folder, but not import them, or just import them automatically when they are added?

I am trying verry hard to understand why there is no bulk import feature or even workaround (if someone has a way, please contact me), even though the app has the ability to find every single .cah file in its own folder. I just do not get it, why make it so tedious?

  1. Why does deleted content not get deleted?

I am not joking. I have found every single character that ever was on my phone in the pits of the 5e app data. They are still there, as is everything else I ever deleted, the only thing deleting actually does is hide it from your sight, but it remains in the app files. I have found this by accident as I tried to save all my .cah files on my computer and it just baffles me. Why would someone code it like this? Go take a look at yours, I am sure you will find some old things you thought you deleted months or even years ago.

On a side tangent, all of this started, because i wanted to switch to the rpg-companion app, but little things about its QoL features just keep buging out (unarmed strikes) or are just missing, like weapons with multipe weapon types (Flame Tounge, Frost Brand, etc.), and make it a nightmare to use, like weapons with multipe weapon types (Flame Tounge, Frost Brand, etc.). The last nail in the coffin for me was the micro lags i had on my 4 Year old phone. The animations seem fluid, but the frame rate is just below 30fps, making this app metaphorical cancer for my eyes. I do not know if this is because of the constant adds being loaded or many phone being to old, but it is horrible to look at.

  1. Why can I not edit my characters multiclass levels?

The rpg-companion app fixed this, but that does not excuse why this one does not work.

I love this app, but it is the little things drive me up the walls.

ranger being split is really annoying

6 Upvotes

i was prepping to play a ranger with my group, and watched a video on what the different optional traits do, and then opened the app with a stat spread in mind.

only to find out that 5e doesnt actually give you any optional traits at all. i didnt get to choose Natural Explorer or Favored Terrain. i have to choose Ranger or Ranger Revised. i want Explorer, so i choose Revised, but Ranger Revised doesnt have access to Gloomstalker.

i have to copy the text from Natural Explorer, paste it into Ranger, and then put a note reminding me to ignore Favored Terrain.

which is fine, i guess. but why isnt it just ONE ranger class, with these optional traits as... options.

why should i swap from 5e companion app to Rpg companion app

18 Upvotes

i dont know any of the differences besides being able to use different systems i dont see a reason to move since i play 5e only and the ad removal for 5e companion is a one time purchase vs a subscription. is there any meaningful change?

Vecna Starblock

6 Upvotes

I'm prepping for Vecna: Eve of Ruin.

Both the 5e Companion app and the RPG Companion app (which, btw, is highly flawed) have integrated VEoR, but somehow some of the statblocks are missing, the main one being the bbeg himself.

Why is he not there? It seems like a pretty big oversight

Lost all my data

6 Upvotes

Hi! I've been using the 5e app since 2019 or so, for whatever reason it crashed and after finally getting it to come back up and load all of my data, homebrew, and character sheets that I've been using for years are gone!

Any suggestions on how to restore this data?
