My group has used this over the past few weeks and we really enjoyed it.

There are several advantages to this EXT.

1. It changes the behavior of the modifier stack to be inline with the way Gurps plays. Instead of the modifier stack changing the roll, the stack changes the target number to roll against, as per Gurps rules.

2. Skills & attributes can be rolled directly from the character sheet.

3. Weapon ToHit & Dmg can be rolled directly from the Chr Sheet. This speeds up combat considerably.

4. Both the Combat Tracker and NPC sheets can be used for combat related rolls using drag & drop. Again, this speeds up combat considerably.

One note on using the Mod Stack. FG2 only comes with 6 mod slots. Most of the time this is not a problem. Sometimes, however, you can run out of slots. Consider a ranged attack using (range, attacker movement, defender movement, weapon accuracy, scope, extra aiming, environmental factors, braced weapon, all-out-attack, defender actions, etc). In this scenario you will quickly run out of slots and you will have to try and see which mods cancel each other out in order to ignore them.

A better solution is to cache the mods in a Hotkey. After you have added the 6th mod into the slot, just drag the modstack into a Hotkey. Then click the Hotkey to add them back. When they go back they will only occupy one slot yet will retain all the text and mod values from before. You can then continue to add modifiers as needed. You can do this as many times as needed.

abug fix was issued today with a patched version of the base ruleset to allow full functionality of the 10 modifiers slots.
link to the patched gurps ruleset is posted at the bottom of the wiki page.

this is a temp work around.

Latest update includes installer that will patch exsiting gurps ruleset to support the new 10 slot modstack. the installer backup the old ruleset and restores on uninstall. though the new patched version will run as the vanilla ruleset when the enhanced ext is turned off. but the backup is there in case.

many new features since the last video was posted including new combat mini (No more need to flip between tabs for weapon attacks and defensive moves).

2. Skills & attributes can be rolled directly from the character sheet.

3. Weapon ToHit & Dmg can be rolled directly from the Chr Sheet. This speeds up combat considerably.

This is nice, I just saw it in the video.

But part of this isn't working for me: I can't drag & drop Skills from the character sheet, nor "weapon to hit" nor "damage rolls"; the same happens with "Personalities" (NPCs).

I wonder if there is need any specific syntax for the script being able to acknowledge the phrases describing skills and damage rolls as "drag & drop ready". Otherwise my mouse pointer just hovers over them without any special effect (the hand isn't appearing).

The skills, damage rolls and such in my character sheet came directly from the GCA to GURPS export program by Spyke.

I would appreciate any help.


P.s.: the graphical skin in the video is nice. I'll be looking around just in case it's available for download.

it does expect proper syntax (I use the syntaxy from the import from GCA.)
for npc windows I state the syntax on the wiki page. where i needed to add brackets.

as for the character sheet it too should work out of the box if you are using spykes gca tool.

I am nearly always in the https://fg2.rpg-vault.net/ irc channel. if you are still having problems we will work through them.

as for the theme it is one i made specific for my homebrew game world. I'll toss that over to you as well.

I created a pdf with come samples.

Still, for some reason, even using the correct syntax I'm unable to roll dice from the NPC sheet by dragging the phrase with my mouse pointer; the same happens with the NPC added to the Combat Tracker.

Additionally, yesterday I saw shaitan's NPC's sheet and there, the NPC fields were highlighted by the mouse pointer and yes, it was working (it was possible to roll dice from these fields), but he was the one running the app, I mean, that was his setup. I haven't such thing, and I wonder what I'm doing wrong.

Thank you. My time zone is GMT +1.

I'm not sure why it wasn't working in first place, but it's working now thanks to the test that I ran with shaitan. There was no bug involved, so kudos to GURPS4_Enhanced!

The GURPS 4 Enhanced website (https://enhanced.vlexofree.com/) seems to be down at the moment.

EDIT: it seems to be a temporary server problem, although I'm not completely sure.
