So what happened to the Star Wars d6 West End Games character sheet?  I see all my players sheets got fubared by some sort of update/change.

So half dozen players not happy and it messed my NPCs etc up too, so I'm not happy.

Can we get some warning next time?

Again, I'm sorry I fucked up my update.

I posted about it here and here, and mentioned it in the d6 star wars discord chat, tried to reach out the the author and a guy working on a new sheet. but I was too hastly with wanting to update so I didn't doublecheck things enough. My fixes are already submitted to roll20, but they will roll out on next tuesday when the devs usually does their uppdates.

I feel you pain and have been there.  If you need some one with a pro account to display your changes, contact me and we can set up a game for testing.

I am a wee bit mad as this has broken all the npcs that I built...
Will existing sheets be restored or have I lost all the equipment and weapon info for all my npcs?

They will be restored but gone is probably gone. I'm sorry.

Looking at the code, it's only HTML changes, no destructive sheet worker operations, so i should be restored once the code goes back to functioning.

As long as you change it back with the next release, the data will still be there.

Just make sure that you change everything back, including the repeating section name.

And you know this, for the future, you really need to test your updates for bugs before you submit them. Take advantage of CPPs offer if you don't want to buy Pro. The weekly update cycle means you really can't afford to introduce serious sheet-breaking bugs.

I did test them to the extent I could(jsfiddle, checking rolls in a existing game) and I did get a offer I accepted for a test game, but only after the update.

Yes, I tested it to the extent I could, did see the fallout of my actions and everyone else have also made it very clear now. 

Edit: 2018-02-26: More improvements and changes have been made over the past months, summary can be found here.
