More Core extension for CoreRPG

[damned]

MoreCore has been updated extensively and converted to a ruleset now.
More info here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...reCore-Ruleset



This extension came about after some renewed interest in raising awareness of the CoreRPG ruleset which is included free in Fantasy Grounds and some discussion in this thread: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...o-coding/page2.

IanMWard and I put together this small extension which adds three new columns and Attack/Damage strings to the CoreRPG Combat Tracker on the GMs View. This allows the GM to track far more info on the Combat tracker for all those games that dont have specific rulesets built for them. There is no automation or autocalc on the column fields and the Attack/Damage fields roll in the chat window with an appropriate description but do not calculate hit or miss or adjust hit points automatically.

Update 25/02/2015: In Options you can now choose between 0 and 4 Columns to display. The default option is 3 Columns. You will need to restart the session if you make changes to the number of Columns.
Update 09/03/2015 MoreCore v0.5.20150310 - more info here: https://www.fg-con.com/morecore-extension/

Nice job guys! Thanks for the work you put in.

This looks good... my only suggestion would be to have those fields 'addable' rather than always there... assuming that different rulesets might require a varying number of special fields for the tracker... with an upper limit based on the space available.

Hey Blackfoot I havent worked out how to do a wcolumn yet so I have added instead an option in Options to select between 0-4 additional columns.
You will need to restart the session to refresh the Combat Tracker view after making the changes. Im not sure its possible to do it in real time at this stage.

Cool. Sounds like a good solution.

[damned]

Small tweak - thinking of making the First Column lettering Green (HP/Health), the Second Red (Wounds) and leaving the others Black.
Most RPGs have some health/hitpoint mechanics and that would leave 2 generic columns for other things.

Some new features/options uploaded today.

Very nice work.

I hope you've kept copies of the original files you modified so that updating this for future releases of CoreRPG will be a bit easier. 3.0.11 is on the horizon...

[viresanimi]

This is very nice. But I do have a small request. Is it possible to get the text field in black? That would make me a happy man.

Viresanimi it sure is but as Name and Order are in White I have opted to use White across the whole top line.
If you want to edit the extension you can unzip and edit the following file:
/ct/template_ct.xml
and change the following template from:

	<template name="stringw">
		<stringfield>
			<font>smallheadertext</font>
			<lineoffset default="on" mergerule="replace">2</lineoffset>
			<color>FFFFFF</color>
		</stringfield>
	</template>

to

	<template name="stringw">
		<stringfield>
			<font>smallheadertext</font>
			<lineoffset default="on" mergerule="replace">2</lineoffset>
			<color>000000</color>
		</stringfield>
	</template>

Im thinking of adding an option on the Options view to allow you to change the colour of a column Between Black, Green and Red. It might be beneficial to have Wounds in Red for example. When I do that I will add an Option to choose Black or White for the Column headers.
