Buulet Diameter

When I enter a load, and I click on the drop-down menu to select at bullet diamter, there is nothing there. I enter the bullet diamer manually and save the data, but the next time I open Point Blank, the bullet diamter field is empty. This happens with every rifle I have listed.

That's a problem mate...but one I'm sure our PB Guru, DallanC, will be able to solve for you.

He is a very busy man with work and family, but he does check the site daily for problems such as yours. Give him a day or so to look into it and he will get back to you mate.

Cheers...and keep hunting.

I am unable to replicate this, I see the diameter just fine. Can you be a little more descriptive in your steps? Have you edited any databases?

I selected the database in the treeview and clicked New Firearm. From there I got the popup with the calibers. From there I selected one and proceeded to click New Load. I was able to see the diameter pulldown properly filled out.

There might be an issue with a specific caliber size... so more information can help me track this down.

Man "busy" is an understatement... I ask myself daily why I havent quit my job yet... we are in month 5 of a mandatory overtime "crunch mode" with mandatory saturdays. I'm super burned out... we have roughly 1 month of it left.

I just played with entering a bunch of calibers and have not seen this. No databases were edited here.

I could not replicate the error either.

Hunter4Life, maybe you could try re installing Pointblank and see if the error fixed itself.

Hang in there mate...at least you have the dollars coming in to support your family. I lost my part-time job yesterday (it was really only drinking money and a bit to support my shooting)...don't want to see that happen to you mate.

Fantastic, creating the patcher to keep all users in sync was the best idea ever. I hope to make a few tweaks in the next day or two and push up a new version.
