3.5 character sheet attack roll

Whenever I try to use the attack roll feature in the new character sheet it doesn't add the strength modifier but subtracts 4 from the roll.
Update: Almost all rolls are off due to a strange floor(2/2-5) being used instead of the base stat.
that 'strange' floor()/2-5 is how the ability mod is being found. I'm looking at how its working on mine and that seems to be accurate. As for the BAB+STR for base attack the drop down menu is used to select the weapon stat. Again that too seems to be accurate, if you'd want to test it try entering this into chat: [[d20+@{NAME|weapon1stat}]] where NAME is the name of your character.. and it should give you a result of 1d20+ your chosen weapon attribute modifier. I am not sure about the -4, still trying to find where in the code that might be coming from..

I'm assuming the -4 came from the (2/2-5)? That's the calculation for the ability mod. The base ability stat should be the stat itself. Ie 16 or what ever it is.
I have those stats set properly. it's sometimes even giving me a negative value for the final roll after modifiers when they are all positive bonuses

If there were attributes on the character journal before the character sheets came out which had the same name as the ones created by the sheet, it will use the previous value and not update correctly. Could that be the case? Cause I am not seeing the same errors. Tried with a fresh install on a fresh campaign. Or is the character a larger than medium? If you chose gargantuan in the size pulldown, that would add a -4 to the attacks (or actually should, but doesn't. I forgot to take that into account even though it's in the melee/ranged attack bonus section. *sigh*)

make sure any old attributes on your character are deleted
Thank you!!! That was the problem.
