I am curious to know how many people would appreciate/use a program which would greatly reduce the time required to create a character for MW 3rd edition. I am in the process of writing such a program for myself and my friends, and would consider posting it if there were a demand. My hope is that it would be very extensive and complete in all ways. Please let me know.

If I understand correctly, Rick Raisley, creator of the "Heavy Metal" design program series, is currently working on an official MW3 character creation program.
That's not to say you shouldn't write yours, just FYI. heavymetalpro.com has a forum dedicated to the project, if you'd like to peruse.

Okay i'm gonna be the ass on this subject now. I thought 3rd edition basically created a quick character creation system through dice rolls? Hell, I could make a comprehensive interpretation of that with Visual Basic in a weekend (and if I had any skills I could do it in an afternoon).

Yeah, and I could cobble together a C++ version in a weekend if I really felt the urge. Give me a few more months, I'll make it in Java (portability, baby).
But I don't feel like putting up with the headache. Since I didn't answer the initial question, yes, I would be interested in your program. I'd also be interested in seeing the code, if it's in VB, C++, or Java.

Interest does indeed exist in such a program.

Yes, I would love a program like that. I found one on the DL page and it didn't even extract on my computer, so if you make a program, I would really you posting it.

Rick Raisely was working on one over at heavmetalpro.com you could go there and see what is up.

wait, what!?? How am I only now seeing many of these messages for the first time.
Seems like lots of new (extremely old) messages are appearing for me since the revamp to Sarna's appearance.. (Good work btw, Nic!  )
Has there been any interest / developments to a MW3 char-gen in the past 3 years worth mentioning? I had seen a couple in the downloads section from several years ago (some, do not work on Win7 or Win8, even under compatibility mode).

Thanks 
I haven't seen any actual products finished. It looks like the HMP MechWarrior generator never came out unfortunately:

There are new rules in A Time of War as well...

There used to be a MW3e character generator attached to some MechWarrior4 roleplay server/guild/whatever, but I seem to have lost the link. Probably longer than 3 years ago. Dunno if they're still around.

I started writing a character generator A Time of War in late 2011, but didn't find much interest.
I was doing a very modular thing, where text files were used to dictate the various abilities and attribute changes for various paths. I think the concept was sound, but if I remember correctly I never finished inputting all the data, and I know new stuff has come out since.
If there was a huge demand for it, I could finish it up. Just let me know.

HOLY CRAP yes. One of the reasons I don't use the MechWarrior system is because it takes SO DAMN LONG. I'm a college student. I ain't got time for that!
